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.
También el día en que los hijos de Dios vinieron a presentarse ante Yahvé, Satanás vino también entre ellos para presentarse ante Yahvé.
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.
Yahvé dijo a Satanás: “¿De dónde vienes?” Satanás respondió a Yahvé, y dijo: “De ir y venir por la tierra, y de andar arriba y abajo en ella”.
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.
Yahvé dijo a Satanás: “¿Has considerado a mi siervo Job? Porque no hay nadie como él en la tierra, un hombre intachable y recto, que teme a Dios y se aparta del mal. Todavía mantiene su integridad, aunque tú me incitaste contra él, para arruinarlo sin 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.
Satanás respondió a Yahvé y dijo: “Piel por piel. Sí, todo lo que el hombre tiene lo dará por su 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.
Pero extiende ahora tu mano y toca su hueso y su carne, y te denunciará en tu cara.”
6 Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Behold, he is in thy hand: only take care of his life.
Yahvé dijo a Satanás: “Mira, está en tu mano. Sólo perdona su 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.
Entonces Satanás salió de la presencia de Yahvé, e hirió a Job con llagas dolorosas desde la planta del pie hasta la cabeza.
8 And [Job] took himself a potsherd to scrape himself there with, while he was sitting down among the ashes.
Tomó para sí un tiesto para rasparse, y se sentó entre las cenizas.
9 Then said his wife unto him, Art thou still holding fast to thy integrity? renounce God, and die.
Entonces su mujer le dijo: “¿Aún mantienes tu integridad? Renuncia a Dios y muere”.
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.
Pero él le dijo: “Hablas como una de las mujeres necias. ¿Qué? ¿Recibiremos el bien de la mano de Dios, y no recibiremos el mal?” En todo esto Job no pecó con sus labios.
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.
Cuando los tres amigos de Job se enteraron de todo este mal que le había sobrevenido, vinieron cada uno de su lugar: Elifaz el temanita, Bildad el suhita y Zofar el naamatita; y se citaron juntos para venir a compadecerse de él y a consolarlo.
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.
Cuando alzaron los ojos desde lejos y no lo reconocieron, alzaron la voz y lloraron; cada uno de ellos rasgó su manto y esparció polvo sobre sus cabezas hacia el cielo.
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.
Y se sentaron con él en el suelo durante siete días y siete noches, sin que nadie le dirigiera la palabra, porque veían que su dolor era muy grande.
