Job 2
1 Again it happened on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, that Satan came also among them to present himself before Jehovah.
Sucedió que un día se presentaron los hijos de Dios delante de Yahvé, y en medio de ellos vino también Satanás a ponerse en su presencia.
2 Jehovah said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Satan answered Jehovah, and said, "From going back and forth on the earth, and from walking up and down on it."
Dijo Yahvé a Satanás: “¿De dónde vienes?” Satanás respondió a Yahvé y dijo: “Acabo de dar una vuelta por la tierra y pasearme por ella.”
3 Jehovah said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. And he still holds firmly to his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause."
Preguntó Yahvé a Satanás: “¿Has reparado en mi siervo Job?, pues no hay ninguno como él en la tierra, varón perfecto y recto, temeroso de Dios y apartado del mal, que persevera en su integridad, aunque tú me has incitado contra él, para perderle sin causa.”
4 Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, "Skin for skin. Indeed, all that a man has he will give for his life.
Respondió Satanás a Yahvé y dijo: “Piel por piel; porque todo cuanto tiene el hombre lo da por su vida.
5 But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face."
Pero anda, extiende tu mano y toca su hueso y carne, y verás cómo te maldice en la cara.”
6 Jehovah said to Satan, "Look, he is in your power. Only preserve his life."
Dijo, pues, Yahvé a Satanás: “He aquí que en tu mano está, pero consérvale la vida.”
7 So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the top of his head.
Salió Satanás de la presencia de Yahvé, e hirió a Job con una úlcera maligna desde la planta de los pies hasta la coronilla de la cabeza.
8 And he took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with while he sat among the ashes.
Entonces este sentado sobre ceniza, tomó un casco de teja para rasparse con él (la podredumbre).
9 Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold firmly to your integrity? Curse God, and die."
Su mujer le dijo: “¿Todavía perseveras en tu rectitud? ¡Maldice a Dios, y muérete!”
10 But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we indeed accept good at the hand of God, and shall we not accept adversity?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
Mas él le dijo: “Hablas como una mujer necia. Si hemos aceptado el bien de parte de Dios, ¿no hemos de aceptar también el mal?” En todo esto no pecó Job con sus labios.
11 Now when Job's three friends heard of all this adversity that had come on him, they each came from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, and they made an appointment together to come to sympathize with him and to comfort him.
Cuando los tres amigos de Job, Elifaz lemanita, Bildad suhita y Sofar naamatita, supieron toda esta calamidad que le había sobrevenido, vinieron cada uno de su lugar, porque habían concertado ir a darle el pésame y consolarlo.
12 When they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and did not recognize him, they raised their voices, and wept; and they each tore his robe, and threw dust in the air over their heads.
Mas cuando desde lejos alzaron los ojos no lo reconocieron; por lo cual levantaron su voz y lloraron; y rasgando cada uno su manto, esparcieron polvo por el aire sobre sus cabezas;
13 So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spoke a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great.
y quedaron con él sentados en tierra siete días y siete noches, sin hablarle palabra, pues veían que su dolor era muy grande.
