Jó 1
1 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.
In the land named Uz, there was a man named Job. He was a very godly/righteous [DOU] man, who greatly respected/revered God and always avoided doing evil things.
2 E nasceram-lhe sete filhos e três filhas.
He had seven sons and three daughters.
3 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.
He owned 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 1,000 oxen, and 500 female donkeys. He also had many servants. He was the richest man in all the area east [of the Jordan River].
4 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.
Each year, Job’s sons made feasts [in their houses] to celebrate their birthdays. Whenever each one made a feast, he would invite [all his brothers and] his three sisters to come and eat together.
5 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.
When each celebration ended, Job would summon them. He would get up early in the morning and kill animals and burn them on the altar as sacrifices, one for each of his children. He said to himself, “Perhaps [one of] my sons has sinned and said something evil about God in his heart.”
6 E vindo um dia em que os filhos de Deus vieram apresentar-se perante o Senhor, veio também Satanás entre eles.
One day, the angels came and gathered together in front of Yahweh, and Satan came too.
7 Então o Senhor disse a Satanás: de onde vens? E Satanás respondeu ao Senhor, e disse: De rodeiar a terra, e passeiar por ela.
Yahweh asked Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan replied, “I have come from the earth, where I been traveling back and forth, seeing what is happening.”
8 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.
Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you (noticed/thought about) my [faithful] servant Job? He is very godly/righteous [DOU], he greatly respects/reveres me, and he always avoids doing evil things. There is no one else on the earth like him.”
9 Então respondeu Satanás ao Senhor, e disse: Porventura teme Job a Deus debalde?
Satan replied to Yahweh, “[What you say is true], but Job greatly respects you [only] because of what [you have done for him] [RHQ].
10 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.
You have always [RHQ] protected [MET] him and his family and everything that he owns. You have made him very prosperous/rich. He has livestock all over this land.
11 Mas estende a tua mão, e toca-lhe em tudo quanto tem, e verás se te não amaldiçoa na tua face!
But if you take away [MTY] everything that he has, he will curse you openly. [IDM]”
12 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.
Yahweh replied to Satan, “(All right/Okay), I will permit you to take away everything that he has. But do not harm him.” Then Satan left, [and he prepared to cause many disastrous things to happen to Job].
13 E sucedeu um dia, em que seus filhos e suas filhas comiam, e bebiam vinho, na casa de seu irmão primogênito,
One day [after that], Job’s sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the home of their oldest brother.
14 Que veio um mensageiro a Job, e lhe disse: Os bois lavravam, e as jumentas pasciam junto a eles;
While they were doing that, a messenger arrived at Job’s home and said to him, “While your oxen were plowing [the fields] and the donkeys were grazing nearby,
15 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.
a group of men from [the] Sheba [area] came and attacked us. They killed all your servants [who were working in the fields] and took away all the oxen and donkeys! I am the only one who escaped to [come and] tell you what happened.”
16 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
While he was still talking to Job, another messenger arrived. He said to Job, “Lightning from the sky [MTY] struck and killed all the sheep and all the men who were taking care of the sheep! I am the only one who escaped to [come and] tell you [what happened].”
17 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.
While he was still talking to Job, another messenger arrived. He said to Job, “Three groups [of robbers/bandits] from Chaldea [land] came and attacked us. They stole all the camels and killed all the men who were taking care of them. I am the only one who escaped to [come and] tell you [what happened].”
18 Estando ainda este falando, veio outro, e disse: Estando teus filhos tuas filhas comendo e bebendo vinho, em casa de seu irmão primogênito,
While he was still talking to Job, another messenger arrived and reported this to Job: “Your sons and daughters were feasting in the home of their oldest brother.
19 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.
Suddenly a (very strong wind/tornado) came from the desert and struck the house. The house collapsed on your sons and daughters and killed them all! I am the only one who escaped to [come and] tell you [what happened].”
20 Então Job se levantou, e rasgou o seu manto, e tosquiou a sua cabeça, e se lançou em terra, e adorou,
Job stood up, and tore his robe and shaved his head [because he was very sad/grieved]. Then he prostrated himself on the ground [to worship God].
21 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.
He said, “When I was born, I had no clothes on. When I die, I will not take any clothes with me. Yahweh gave me [everything that I possessed], and [now] he has taken it all away. But (we should/I will) always praise Yahweh [anyway]! [MTY]”
22 Em tudo isto Job não pecou, nem atribuiu a Deus falta alguma.
In spite of all these [things that happened to] Job, [he] did not sin by saying that what God had done was wrong.
