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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 em certo dia, os filhos de Deus vieram para se apresentarem diante do SENHOR, e Satanás também veio 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, dizendo: De rodear a terra, e de passear 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 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.
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 Satanás respondeu ao SENHOR, dizendo: Por acaso Jó teme a Deus em troca de nada?
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 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.
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 agora tua mão, e toca em tudo quanto ele tem; e [verás] se ele não te amaldiçoa em tua face.
But if you take away [MTY] everything that he has, he will curse you openly. [IDM]”
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.
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 que seus filhos e filhas estavam comendo e bebendo 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 Jó, que disse: Enquanto os bois estavam arando, e as jumentas se alimentando perto deles,
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 Eis que os sabeus atacaram, e os tomaram, e feriram os servos a fio de espada; somente eu escapei para te trazer a notícia.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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,
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 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.
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 Jó se levantou, rasgou sua capa, rapou sua cabeça, e caindo na terra, 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 para lá voltarei. O SENHOR deu, e o SENHOR 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 Jó 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.
