Job 2
1 Otra vez hubo un día cuando los hijos de ʼElohim se presentaron ante Yavé, y Satán llegó con ellos a presentarse delante de Yavé.
And it happened [again] on a certain day, when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, that the Accuser also came in the midst of them to present himself before the Lord.
2 Yavé preguntó a Satán: ¿De dónde vienes? Y Satán respondió a Yavé: De rodear la tierra y andar por ella.
Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Whence comest thou now? And the Accuser answered the Lord, and said, From roaming over the earth, and from wandering through it.
3 Yavé preguntó a Satán: ¿No has considerado a mi esclavo Job, que no hay otro como él en la tierra, varón intachable, recto, temeroso de ʼElohim y apartado del mal, quien aún se aferra a su integridad a pesar de que me incitaste contra él para arruinarlo sin causa?
Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Hast thou directed thy attention toward my servant Job: for there is none like him on the earth, a man perfect and upright, who feareth God, and escheweth evil? and he is still holding fast to his integrity, and thou hast incited me against him, to destroy him without cause.
4 Satán respondió a Yavé: ¡Piel por piel! Todo lo que el hombre tiene lo dará por su vida.
Then answered the Accuser the Lord, and said, Skin for skin: yea, all that a man hath will he give in behalf of his life.
5 Pero extiende ahora tu mano y toca sus huesos y su carne, y verás cómo te maldice en tu propia Presencia.
But stretch only forth thy hand, and touch his bone and his flesh, and [see] whether he will not renounce thee to thy face.
6 Yavé respondió a Satán: Ahí está en tu mano. Pero no toques su vida.
Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Behold, he is in thy hand: only take care of his life.
7 Satán salió de la Presencia de Yavé e hirió a Job con una úlcera maligna desde la planta del pie hasta la coronilla.
Thereupon went the Accuser forth from the presence of the Lord, and he smote Job with a sore inflammation, from the sole of his foot unto the crown of his head.
8 Estaba sentado en ceniza. Tomó un pedazo de vasija de barro y se rascaba con él.
And [Job] took himself a potsherd to scrape himself there with, while he was sitting down among the ashes.
9 Entonces su esposa le dijo: ¿Aún te aferras a tu integridad? ¡Maldice a ʼElohim y muérete!
Then said his wife unto him, Art thou still holding fast to thy integrity? renounce God, and die.
10 Pero él le respondió: Tú hablaste como suelen hablar las mujeres insensatas. Si recibimos el bien de ʼElohim, ¿no debemos aceptar también el mal? En todo esto Job no pecó con sus labios.
But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the worthless women would speak. What? should we accept the good alone, from God, and the evil we should not accept? With all this did Job not sin with his lips.
11 Entonces tres amigos de Job, Elifaz temanita, Bildad suhita y Sofar naamatita, cuando oyeron acerca de todo este mal que le llegó, convinieron en ir juntos a él, cada uno de su lugar, para condolerse de él y consolarlo.
When now the three friends of Job had heard of all this evil that was come over him, they came every one from his own place, Eliphaz the Themanite, and Bildad the Shuchite, and Zophar the Na'amthite; and they met together to come to condole with him and to comfort him.
12 Pero cuando levantaron los ojos desde lejos y no pudieron reconocerlo, lloraron a gritos. Cada uno de ellos rasgó su ropa, y lanzaron polvo hacia el cielo sobre sus cabezas.
And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and they recognised him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his robe, and strewed dust upon their heads toward heaven.
13 Estuvieron sentados con él en el suelo durante siete días y siete noches, sin hablarle una palabra, porque veían que su dolor era muy grande.
They likewise sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights; but no one spoke a word unto him; for they saw that his pain was very great.
