Job 2
1 And it happened [again] on a certain day, when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, that the Accuser also came in the midst of them to present himself before the Lord.
E, vindo outro dia, em que os filhos de Deus vieram apresentar-se perante o Senhor, veio também Satanás entre eles, apresentar-se perante o Senhor.
2 Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Whence comest thou now? And the Accuser answered the Lord, and said, From roaming over the earth, and from wandering through it.
Então o Senhor disse a Satanás: de onde vens? E respondeu Satanás ao Senhor, e disse: De rodeiar a terra, e passeiar por ela.
3 Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Hast thou directed thy attention toward my servant Job: for there is none like him on the earth, a man perfect and upright, who feareth God, and escheweth evil? and he is still holding fast to his integrity, and thou hast incited me against him, to destroy him without cause.
E disse o Senhor a Satanás: Consideraste ao meu servo Job? porque ninguém há na terra semelhante a ele, homem sincero e reto, temente a Deus, e desviando-se do mal, e que ainda retém a sua sinceridade; havendo-me tu incitado contra ele, para o consumir sem causa.
4 Then answered the Accuser the Lord, and said, Skin for skin: yea, all that a man hath will he give in behalf of his life.
Então Satanás respondeu ao Senhor, e disse: pele por pele, e tudo quanto o homem tem dará pela sua vida.
5 But stretch only forth thy hand, and touch his bone and his flesh, and [see] whether he will not renounce thee to thy face.
Porém estende a tua mão, e toca-lhe nos ossos, e na carne, e verás se te não amaldiçoa na tua face
6 Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Behold, he is in thy hand: only take care of his life.
E disse o Senhor a Satanás: eis que ele está na tua mão; porém guarda a sua vida.
7 Thereupon went the Accuser forth from the presence of the Lord, and he smote Job with a sore inflammation, from the sole of his foot unto the crown of his head.
Então saiu Satanás da presença do Senhor, e feriu a Job de uma chaga maligna, desde a planta do pé até ao alto da cabeça.
8 And [Job] took himself a potsherd to scrape himself there with, while he was sitting down among the ashes.
E tomou um caco para se raspar com ele: e estava assentado no meio da cinza.
9 Then said his wife unto him, Art thou still holding fast to thy integrity? renounce God, and die.
Então sua mulher lhe disse: Ainda retens a tua sinceridade? amaldiçoa a Deus, e morre.
10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the worthless women would speak. What? should we accept the good alone, from God, and the evil we should not accept? With all this did Job not sin with his lips.
Porém ele lhe disse: Como fala qualquer das doidas, falas tu; receberemos o bem de Deus, e não receberiamos o mal? Em tudo isto não pecou Job com os seus lábios.
11 When now the three friends of Job had heard of all this evil that was come over him, they came every one from his own place, Eliphaz the Themanite, and Bildad the Shuchite, and Zophar the Na'amthite; and they met together to come to condole with him and to comfort him.
Ouvindo pois três amigos de Job todo este mal que tinha vindo sobre ele, vieram cada um do seu lugar; Eliphaz o temanita, e Bildad o suhita, e Sofar o naamathita; e concertaram juntamente de virem condoer-se dele, e para o consolarem.
12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and they recognised him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his robe, and strewed dust upon their heads toward heaven.
E, levantando de longe os seus olhos, não o conheceram: e levantaram a sua voz e choraram; e rasgaram cada um o seu manto, e sobre as suas cabeças lançaram pó ao ar.
13 They likewise sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights; but no one spoke a word unto him; for they saw that his pain was very great.
E se assentaram juntamente com ele na terra, sete dias e sete noites: e nenhum lhe dizia palavra alguma, porque viam que a dor era mui grande.
