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.
There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and Job was blameless and upright, one who feared God and turned from evil.
2 E nasceram-lhe sete filhos e três filhas.
There were born to him 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 possessed seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred pairs of oxen, and five hundred donkeys and a great many servants. He was the man who was the greatest of all the people of the East.
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.
On each son's assigned day, he would give a feast in his house. They would send and call for their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
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 the days of the feast were over, Job would send for them and he would consecrate them. He would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings for each of his children, for he would say, “It may be that my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” Job always did this.
6 E vindo um dia em que os filhos de Deus vieram apresentar-se perante o Senhor, veio também Satanás entre eles.
Then it was the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Yahweh. Satan also came with them.
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 said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Then Satan answered Yahweh and said, “From wandering on the earth, from going back and forth on it.”
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 considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and turns from evil.”
9 Então respondeu Satanás ao Senhor, e disse: Porventura teme Job a Deus debalde?
Then Satan answered Yahweh and said, “Does Job fear God without reason?
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.
Have you not put a barrier around him, around his house, and around all that is his from every side? You have blessed the deeds of his hands, and his cattle have burst forth in the land.
11 Mas estende a tua mão, e toca-lhe em tudo quanto tem, e verás se te não amaldiçoa na tua face!
But now stretch out your hand and touch all that he has, and see if he does not curse you to your face.”
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 said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your hand. Only against him himself do not stretch out your hand.” Then Satan went away from the presence of Yahweh.
13 E sucedeu um dia, em que seus filhos e suas filhas comiam, e bebiam vinho, na casa de seu irmão primogênito,
It came about that on a certain day, his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house.
14 Que veio um mensageiro a Job, e lhe disse: Os bois lavravam, e as jumentas pasciam junto a eles;
A messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were feeding beside them.
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.
Then the Sabeans fell on them and took them away. As for the servants, they have struck them with the edge of the sword. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
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 speaking, another also came and said, “The fire of God fell from the heavens and burned up the sheep and the servants. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
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 speaking, another also came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three groups, attacked the camels, and have taken them away. As for the servants, they have struck them with the edge of the sword. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
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 yet speaking, another also came and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house.
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.
A strong wind came from the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house. It fell on the young people, and they died. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
20 Então Job se levantou, e rasgou o seu manto, e tosquiou a sua cabeça, e se lançou em terra, e adorou,
Then Job rose, tore his robe, shaved his head, lay facedown on the ground, and worshiped 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, “I was naked when I came out of my mother's womb, and I will be naked when I will return there. It is Yahweh who gave, and it is Yahweh who has taken away. May the name of Yahweh be blessed.”
22 Em tudo isto Job não pecou, nem atribuiu a Deus falta alguma.
In all this matter, Job did not sin, nor did he accuse God of wrongdoing.
