Jó 2
1 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.
But it happened that, on a certain day, when the sons of God had arrived and they stood before the Lord, Satan likewise arrived among them, and he stood in his sight.
2 Então o Senhor disse a Satanás: de onde vens? E respondeu Satanás ao Senhor, e disse: De rodeiar a terra, e passeiar por ela.
So the Lord said to Satan, “Where do you come from?” Answering, he said, “I have circled the land, and walked around in it.”
3 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.
And the Lord said to Satan, “Have you not considered my servant, Job, that there is no one like him in the land, a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil, and still retaining his innocence? Yet you have stirred me against him, so that I would afflict him to no purpose.”
4 Então Satanás respondeu ao Senhor, e disse: pele por pele, e tudo quanto o homem tem dará pela sua vida.
Answering him, Satan said, “Skin for skin; and everything that a man has, he will give for his life.
5 Porém estende a tua mão, e toca-lhe nos ossos, e na carne, e verás se te não amaldiçoa na tua face
Yet send your hand and touch his bone and his flesh, and then you will see whether or not he blesses you to your face.”
6 E disse o Senhor a Satanás: eis que ele está na tua mão; porém guarda a sua vida.
Therefore, the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, but even so, spare his life.”
7 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.
And so, Satan departed from the face of the Lord and he struck Job with a very serious ulcer from the sole of the foot all the way to the crown of his head.
8 E tomou um caco para se raspar com ele: e estava assentado no meio da cinza.
So he took a shard of earthenware and scraped the discharge, while sitting on a heap of refuse.
9 Então sua mulher lhe disse: Ainda retens a tua sinceridade? amaldiçoa a Deus, e morre.
But his wife said to him, “Do you still continue in your simplicity? Bless God and die.”
10 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.
He said to her, “You have spoken like one of the foolish wives. If we accepted good things from the hand of God, why should we not accept bad things?” In all this, Job did not sin with his lips.
11 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.
And so, three friends of Job, hearing about all the evil that had befallen him, arrived, each one from his own place, Eliphaz the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had agreed to come together to visit and console him.
12 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.
And when they had raised up their eyes from a distance, they did not recognize him, and, crying out, they wept, and, tearing their garments, they scattered dust over their heads into the sky.
13 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.
And they sat with him on the ground for seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his sorrow was very great.
