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.
Again, on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before the LORD, Satan came also amongst them to present himself before the LORD.
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.
The LORD said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan answered the LORD, and said, “From going back and forth in the earth, and from walking up and down 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.
The LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause.”
4 Então Satanás respondeu ao Senhor, e disse: pele por pele, e tudo quanto o homem tem dará pela sua vida.
Satan answered the LORD, and said, “Skin for skin. Yes, all 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
But stretch out your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face.”
6 E disse o Senhor a Satanás: eis que ele está na tua mão; porém guarda a sua vida.
The LORD said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand. Only 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.
So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD, and struck Job with painful sores from the sole of his foot to his head.
8 E tomou um caco para se raspar com ele: e estava assentado no meio da cinza.
He took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with, and he sat amongst the ashes.
9 Então sua mulher lhe disse: Ainda retens a tua sinceridade? amaldiçoa a Deus, e morre.
Then his wife said to him, “Do you still maintain your integrity? Renounce 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.
But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?” In all this Job didn’t 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.
Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil 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 sympathise with him and to comfort 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.
When they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and didn’t recognise him, they raised their voices, and wept; and they each tore his robe, and sprinkled dust on their heads towards 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.
So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.
