Job 2
1 También el día en que los hijos de Dios vinieron a presentarse ante Yahvé, Satanás vino también entre ellos para presentarse ante Yahvé.
On another day, the angels came again and gathered together in front of Yahweh, and Satan came too.
2 Yahvé dijo a Satanás: “¿De dónde vienes?” Satanás respondió a Yahvé, y dijo: “De ir y venir por la tierra, y de andar arriba y abajo en ella”.
Yahweh asked Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan replied, “I have come from the earth, where I have been traveling back and forth, seeing what is happening.”
3 Yahvé dijo a Satanás: “¿Has considerado a mi siervo Job? Porque no hay nadie como él en la tierra, un hombre intachable y recto, que teme a Dios y se aparta del mal. Todavía mantiene su integridad, aunque tú me incitaste contra él, para arruinarlo sin causa”.
Yahweh asked 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. And he still acts in a very godly/righteous manner, even though you persuaded me to [let you] cause disastrous things to happen to him for no reason.”
4 Satanás respondió a Yahvé y dijo: “Piel por piel. Sí, todo lo que el hombre tiene lo dará por su vida.
Satan replied to Yahweh, “He praises you only because you bless him [IDM]. People will give up everything they have to save their own lives.
5 Pero extiende ahora tu mano y toca su hueso y su carne, y te denunciará en tu cara.”
But if you harm his body [MTY], he will surely curse you openly [IDM]!”
6 Yahvé dijo a Satanás: “Mira, está en tu mano. Sólo perdona su vida”.
Yahweh replied to Satan, “(All right/Okay), you may do to him whatever you want to do, but do not cause him to die.”
7 Entonces Satanás salió de la presencia de Yahvé, e hirió a Job con llagas dolorosas desde la planta del pie hasta la cabeza.
So Satan left, and he caused Job to be afflicted with very painful boils, from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.
8 Tomó para sí un tiesto para rasparse, y se sentó entre las cenizas.
Job took a piece of broken pottery and scraped the boils on his skin, and he sat in ashes [as people did when they were mourning for those who had died].
9 Entonces su mujer le dijo: “¿Aún mantienes tu integridad? Renuncia a Dios y muere”.
His wife said to him, “Are you still trying to (be loyal to/faithfully trust in) God? You should curse God, and then you will die.”
10 Pero él le dijo: “Hablas como una de las mujeres necias. ¿Qué? ¿Recibiremos el bien de la mano de Dios, y no recibiremos el mal?” En todo esto Job no pecó con sus labios.
But Job replied, “You talk like people who do not know God talk. (Should we accept only the good things that God [does for us]?/We should not accept only the good things that God [does for us].) [RHQ] We should also accept bad things.” So in spite of all these [things that happened to] Job, [he] did not say anything against God.
11 Cuando los tres amigos de Job se enteraron de todo este mal que le había sobrevenido, vinieron cada uno de su lugar: Elifaz el temanita, Bildad el suhita y Zofar el naamatita; y se citaron juntos para venir a compadecerse de él y a consolarlo.
Among Job’s friends were Eliphaz from Teman [town], Bildad from Shuah [land] and Zophar from Naamah [land]. When they heard about all the terrible things that had happened to Job, they left their home areas and went together to Job to console/comfort him [DOU].
12 Cuando alzaron los ojos desde lejos y no lo reconocieron, alzaron la voz y lloraron; cada uno de ellos rasgó su manto y esparció polvo sobre sus cabezas hacia el cielo.
When they saw Job from a distance, they almost did not recognize him. They wailed loudly, they tore their robes, and they threw dust over their heads [to show how sorry they were because of what had happened to Job].
13 Y se sentaron con él en el suelo durante siete días y siete noches, sin que nadie le dirigiera la palabra, porque veían que su dolor era muy grande.
Then they sat on the ground with Job for seven days. None of them said anything to Job, because they saw that he was suffering greatly, [and they did not think that anything that they said would lessen his pain].
