Job 1
1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
Havia um homem na terra de Uz, cujo nome era Job: e era este homem sincero, reto 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 três filhas.
3 His substance also was 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 três mil camelos, e quinhentas juntas de bois, e quinhentas jumentas; era também muitíssima a gente ao seu serviço, de maneira que era este homem maior do que todos os do oriente.
4 And his sons went and held a feast in the house of each one upon his day; and they sent and called for 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 três irmãs a comerem e beberem com eles.
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 burn offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
Sucedeu pois que, tendo decorrido o turno de dias de seus banquetes, enviava Job, e os santificava, e se levantava de madrugada, e oferecia holocaustos segundo o número de todos eles; porque dizia Job: Porventura pecaram meus filhos, e amaldiçoaram a Deus no seu coração. Assim o fazia Job continuamente.
6 Now there was a day when 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, veio também Satanás entre eles.
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 Satanás: de onde vens? E Satanás respondeu ao Senhor, e disse: De rodeiar a terra, e passeiar por ela.
8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil.
E disse o Senhor a Satanás: Consideraste tu a meu servo Job? porque ninguém há na terra semelhante a ele, homem sincero e reto, temente a Deus, e desviando-se do mal.
9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
Então respondeu Satanás ao Senhor, e disse: Porventura teme Job a Deus debalde?
10 Hast not thou made an 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 substance is increased in the land.
Porventura não o circunvalaste tu a ele, e a sua casa, e a tudo quanto tem? A obra de suas mãos abençoaste e o seu gado está aumentado na terra.
11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will renounce 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 thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
E disse o Senhor a Satanás: eis que tudo quanto tem está na tua mão; somente contra ele não estendas a tua mão. E Satanás 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 sucedeu um dia, em que seus filhos e suas filhas comiam, e bebiam vinho, na casa de seu irmão primogênito,
14 that there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
Que veio um mensageiro a Job, e lhe disse: Os bois lavravam, e as jumentas pasciam junto a eles;
15 and the Sabeans fell [upon them], 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 eles os sabeus, e os tomaram, e aos moços feriram ao fio da espada: e só eu escapei tão somente, para te trazer a nova.
16 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The 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 falando, veio outro e disse: Fogo de Deus caiu do céu, e queimou as ovelhas e os moços, e os consumiu, e só eu escapei tão somente para te trazer a nova
17 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made 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 falando, veio outro, e disse: Ordenando os caldeus três tropas, deram sobre os camelos, e os tomaram, e aos moços feriram ao fio da espada: e só eu escapei tão somente 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 falando, veio outro, e disse: Estando teus filhos tuas filhas comendo e bebendo vinho, em casa de seu irmão primogênito,
19 and, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, 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 sobreveio de além do deserto, e deu nos quatro cantos da casa, e caiu sobre os mancebos, e morreram: e só eu escapei tão somente, 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 saí do ventre de minha mãe, e nu tornarei para lá; o Senhor o deu, e o Senhor o tomou: bendito seja o nome do Senhor.
22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God with foolishness.
Em tudo isto Job não pecou, nem atribuiu a Deus falta alguma.
