Jó 1
1 Havia um homem na terra de Uz, cujo nome era Jó; e este homem era íntegro e correto, temente a Deus, e que se afastava do mal.
There was a man in the land of Uz named Job, and he was a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil.
2 E nasceram-lhe sete filhos e três filhas.
And there had been born to him seven sons and three daughters.
3 E seu patrimônio era sete mil ovelhas, três mil camelos, quinhentas juntas de bois, e quinhentas jumentas; ele também tinha muitíssimos servos, de maneira que este homem era o maior de todos do oriente.
And his possession was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, along with five hundred pairs of oxen and five hundred she-donkeys, and also a very large family. And this man was great among all the people of the east.
4 E seus filhos iam nas casas uns dos outros para fazerem banquetes, cada um em seu dia; e mandavam convidar as suas três irmãs, para que comessem e bebessem com eles.
And his sons went and made a feast by houses, each one on his day. And sending, they called their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
5 E acontecia que, acabando-se o revezamento dos dias de banquetes, Jó enviava e os santificava, e se levantava de madrugada para apresentar holocaustos[conforme] o número de todos eles. Pois Jó dizia: Talvez meus filhos tenham pecado, e tenham amaldiçoado a Deus em seus corações. Assim Jó fazia todos aqueles dias.
And when the days of their feasting had been completed, Job sent to them and sanctified them, and, getting up at dawn, he offered holocausts for each one. For he said, “Perhaps my sons have sinned and have not praised God in their hearts.” So Job did all the days.
6 E em certo dia, os filhos de Deus vieram para se apresentarem diante do SENHOR, e Satanás também veio entre eles.
But on a certain day, when the sons of God came to attend in the presence of the Lord, Satan also arrived among them.
7 Então o SENHOR disse a Satanás: De onde vens? E Satanás respondeu ao SENHOR, dizendo: De rodear a terra, e de passear por ela.
The Lord said to him, “Where do you come from?” Answering, he said, “I have circled the land, and walked around in it.”
8 E o SENHOR disse a Satanás: Tendes visto meu servo Jó? Pois ninguém há na terra semelhante a ele, homem íntegro e correto, temente a Deus, e que se afasta de mal.
And the Lord said to him, “Have you not considered my servant, Job? For there is no one like him in the land, a simple and honest man, fearing God and withdrawing from evil.”
9 Então Satanás respondeu ao SENHOR, dizendo: Por acaso Jó teme a Deus em troca de nada?
Answering him, Satan said, “Does Job fear God to no purpose?
10 Por acaso tu não puseste uma cerca ao redor dele, de sua casa, e de tudo quanto ele tem? Tu abençoaste o trabalho de suas mãos, e seu patrimônio tem crescido sobre a terra.
Have you not fortified him, as well as his house and every one of his belongings around him, blessed the works of his hands, and his possession has increased in the land?
11 Mas estende agora tua mão, e toca em tudo quanto ele tem; e [verás] se ele não te amaldiçoa em tua face.
But extend your hand a little, and touch all that he possesses, and see if he still praises you to your face.”
12 E o SENHOR disse a Satanás: Eis que tudo quanto ele tem está em tua mão; somente não estendas tua mão contra ele. E Satanás saiu de diante do SENHOR.
Therefore, the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, everything that he has is in your hand, only do not extend your hand against him.” And Satan departed from the face of the Lord.
13 E sucedeu um dia que seus filhos e filhas estavam comendo e bebendo vinho na casa de seu irmão primogênito,
So, on a certain day, when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine, in the house of their first-born brother,
14 Que veio um mensageiro a Jó, que disse: Enquanto os bois estavam arando, e as jumentas se alimentando perto deles,
a messenger came to Job, who said, “The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys were grazing beside them,
15 Eis que os sabeus atacaram, e os tomaram, e feriram os servos a fio de espada; somente eu escapei para te trazer a notícia.
and the Sabeans rushed in and carried away everything, and they struck the servants with the sword; and I alone evaded them to tell you.”
16 Enquanto este ainda estava falando, veio outro que disse: Fogo de Deus caiu do céu, que incendiou as ovelhas entre os servos, e os consumiu; somente eu escapei para te trazer-te a notícia.
And while he was still speaking, another arrived, and he said, “The fire of God fell from heaven, and, having struck the sheep and the servants, it consumed them; and I alone escaped to tell you.”
17 Enquanto este ainda estava falando, veio outro que disse: Os caldeus formaram três tropas, e atacaram os camelos, e os tomaram, e feriram os servos a fio de espada; somente eu escapei para te trazer a notícia.
And while he also was still speaking, another arrived, and he said, “The Chaldeans organized three attacks, and advanced on the camels and took them; and not only that, but they have struck the servants with the sword; and I alone fled to tell you.”
18 Enquanto este ainda estava falando, veio outro que disse: Teus filhos e tuas filhas estavam comendo e bebendo vinho em casa de seu irmão primogênito,
He was still speaking, and behold, another entered, and he said, “Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine in the house of their first-born brother,
19 E eis que veio um grande vento do deserto, e atingiu os quatro cantos da casa, que caiu sobre os jovens, e morreram; somente eu escapei para te trazer a notícia.
when suddenly a severe wind rushed forth from a region of the desert and shook the four corners of the house, which collapsed and crushed your children, and they are dead; and I alone escaped to tell you.”
20 Então Jó se levantou, rasgou sua capa, rapou sua cabeça, e caindo na terra, adorou,
Then Job got up and tore his garments, and, having shaved his head, he collapsed on the ground, and worshipped,
21 E disse: Nu saí do ventre de minha mãe, e nu para lá voltarei. O SENHOR deu, e o SENHOR tomou; bendito seja o nome do SENHOR.
and he said, “Naked I departed from my mother’s womb, and naked I shall return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away. Just as it pleased the Lord, so has it been done. Blessed be the name of the Lord.”
22 Em tudo isto Jó não pecou, nem atribuiu a Deus falta alguma.
In all this, Job did not sin by his lips, nor did he speak any foolish thing against God.
