Job 1
1 In the land of Uz lived a man whose name was Job. He was an upright and good man, fearing God and departing from 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 He had seven sons and three daughters.
E nasceram-lhe sete filhos e tres filhas.
3 His substance was seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred she-asses, and a great number of servants; so that he was the greatest of all the inhabitants 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 Now it was the custom of his sons to make a feast in their houses, each on his day, and to 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 when the days of their feasting had gone round, Job used to send for them and sanctify them, and to rise up early in the morning and offer burnt-offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and have renounced 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 on a certain day the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, and Satan also came 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 Jehovah said to Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From wandering over the earth, and 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 Jehovah said to Satan, Hast thou observed my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, an upright and good man, fearing God and departing from 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 Jehovah, Is it for nought that Job feareth God?
Então respondeu Satanaz ao Senhor, e disse: Porventura teme Job a Deus debalde?
10 Hast thou not placed a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all his possessions? Thou hast prospered the work of his hands, and his herds are greatly 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 only put forth thy hand, and touch whatever he possesseth, and to thy face will he renounce thee.
Mas estende a tua mão, e toca-lhe em tudo quanto tem, e verás se te não amaldiçoa na tua face!
12 And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; but upon him lay not thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah.
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 Now on a certain day the sons and daughters of Job 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 when a messenger came to Job, and said, The oxen were ploughing, 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 Sabaeans fell upon them, and took them away; the servants also they slew 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, The fire of God hath 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 Chaldaeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and carried them away; the servants also they slew 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, lo! there came a great wind from the desert, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, 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 said, Naked came I forth from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither. Jehovah gave, and Jehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah!
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 In all this Job sinned not, nor uttered vain words against God.
Em tudo isto Job não peccou, nem attribuiu a Deus falta alguma.
