Job 1
1 THERE was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was whole-hearted and upright, and one that feared God, and shunned evil.
Havia um homem na terra d'Uz, cujo nome era Job: e era este homem sincero, recto e temente a Deus e desviando-se do mal.
2 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
E nasceram-lhe sete filhos e tres filhas.
3 His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east.
E era o seu gado sete mil ovelhas, e tres mil camelos, e quinhentas juntas de bois, e quinhentas jumentas; era tambem muitissima a gente ao seu serviço, de maneira que era este homem maior do que todos os do oriente.
4 And his sons used to go and hold a feast in the house of each one upon his day; and they would send and invite their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
E iam seus filhos, e faziam banquetes em casa de cada um no seu dia; e enviavam, e convidavam as suas tres irmãs a comerem e beberem com elles.
5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt-offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said: 'It may be that my sons have sinned, and blasphemed God in their hearts.' Thus did Job continually.
Succedeu pois que, tendo decorrido o turno de dias de seus banquetes, enviava Job, e os sanctificava, e se levantava de madrugada, e offerecia holocaustos segundo o numero de todos elles; porque dizia Job: Porventura peccaram meus filhos, e amaldiçoaram a Deus no seu coração. Assim o fazia Job continuamente.
6 Now it fell upon a day, that the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
E vindo um dia em que os filhos de Deus vieram apresentar-se perante o Senhor, veiu tambem Satanaz entre elles.
7 And the LORD said unto Satan: 'Whence comest thou?' Then Satan answered the LORD, and said: 'From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.'
Então o Senhor disse a Satanaz: D'onde vens? E Satanaz respondeu ao Senhor, e disse: De rodeiar a terra, e passeiar por ella.
8 And the LORD said unto Satan: 'Hast thou considered My servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a whole-hearted and an upright man, one that feareth God, and shunneth evil?'
E disse o Senhor a Satanaz: Consideraste tu a meu servo Job? porque ninguem ha na terra similhante a elle, homem sincero e recto, temente a Deus, e desviando-se do mal.
9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said: 'Doth Job fear God for nought?
Então respondeu Satanaz ao Senhor, e disse: Porventura teme Job a Deus debalde?
10 Hast not Thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath, on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions are increased in the land.
Porventura não o circumvallaste tu a elle, e a sua casa, e a tudo quanto tem? A obra de suas mãos abençoaste e o seu gado está augmentado na terra.
11 But put forth Thy hand now, and touch all that he hath, surely he will blaspheme Thee to Thy face.'
Mas estende a tua mão, e toca-lhe em tudo quanto tem, e verás se te não amaldiçoa na tua face!
12 And the LORD said unto Satan: 'Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thy hand.' So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
E disse o Senhor a Satanaz: Eis-que tudo quanto tem está na tua mão; sómente contra elle não estendas a tua mão. E Satanaz saiu da presença do Senhor.
13 And it fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,
E succedeu um dia, em que seus filhos e suas filhas comiam, e bebiam vinho, na casa de seu irmão primogenito,
14 that there came a messenger unto Job, and said: 'The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them;
Que veiu um mensageiro a Job, e lhe disse: Os bois lavravam, e as jumentas pasciam junto a elles;
15 and the Sabeans made a raid, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.'
E deram sobre elles os sabeos, e os tomaram, e aos moços feriram ao fio da espada: e só eu escapei tão sómente, para te trazer a nova.
16 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said: 'A fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.'
Estando este ainda fallando, veiu outro e disse: Fogo de Deus caiu do céu, e queimou as ovelhas e os moços, e os consumiu, e só eu escapei tão sómente para te trazer a nova
17 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said: 'The Chaldeans set themselves in three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have taken them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.'
Estando ainda este fallando, veiu outro, e disse: Ordenando os chaldeos tres tropas, deram sobre os camelos, e os tomaram, e aos moços feriram ao fio da espada: e só eu escapei tão sómente para te trazer a nova.
18 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said: 'Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house;
Estando ainda este fallando, veiu outro, e disse: Estando teus filhos tuas filhas comendo e bebendo vinho, em casa de seu irmão primogenito,
19 And, behold, there came a great wind from across the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young people, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.'
Eis que um grande vento sobreveiu d'além do deserto, e deu nos quatro cantos da casa, e caiu sobre os mancebos, e morreram: e só eu escapei tão sómente, para te trazer a nova.
20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped;
Então Job se levantou, e rasgou o seu manto, e tosquiou a sua cabeça, e se lançou em terra, e adorou,
21 And he said; naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither; the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
E disse: Nu sahi do ventre de minha mãe, e nu tornarei para lá; o Senhor o deu, e o Senhor o tomou: bemdito seja o nome do Senhor.
22 For all this Job sinned not, nor ascribed aught unseemly to God.
Em tudo isto Job não peccou, nem attribuiu a Deus falta alguma.
