Job 2
1 Y otro día aconteció que vinieron los hijos de Dios para presentarse delante de Jehová, y vino también entre ellos Satanás, pareciendo delante de Jehová.
Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
2 Y dijo Jehová a Satanás: ¿De dónde vienes? Respondió Satanás a Jehová, y dijo: De rodear la tierra, y de andar por ella.
And the LORD said to Satan, From where come you? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
3 Y Jehová dijo a Satanás: ¿No has considerado a mi siervo Job, que no hay otro como él en la tierra, varón perfecto y recto, temeroso de Dios, y apartado de mal, y que aun retiene su perfección, habiéndome tú incitado contra él, para que le echase a perder sin causa?
And the LORD said to Satan, Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that fears God, and eschews evil? and still he holds fast his integrity, although you moved me against him, to destroy him without cause.
4 Y respondiendo Satanás dijo a Jehová: Piel por piel, todo lo que el hombre tiene dará por su vida.
And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yes, all that a man has will he give for his life.
5 Mas extiende ahora tu mano, y toca a su hueso, y a su carne, y verás si no te blasfema en tu rostro.
But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face.
6 Y Jehová dijo a Satanás: He aquí, él está en tu mano; mas guarda su vida.
And the LORD said to Satan, Behold, he is in your hand; but save his life.
7 Y salió Satanás de delante de Jehová, e hirió a Job de una mala sarna desde la planta de su pie, hasta la mollera de su cabeza.
So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot to his crown.
8 Y tomaba una teja para rascarse con ella, y estaba sentado en medio de ceniza.
And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself with; and he sat down among the ashes.
9 Y su mujer le decía: ¿Aun tú retienes tu simplicidad? Maldice a Dios, y muérete.
Then said his wife to him, Do you still retain your integrity? curse God, and die.
10 Y él le dijo: Como suele hablar cualquiera de las mujeres insensatas, hablas tú. Está bien: recibimos el bien de Dios, ¿y el mal no recibiremos? En todo esto no pecó Job con sus labios.
But he said to her, You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
11 Y oyeron tres amigos de Job todo este mal que había venido sobre él: y vinieron cada uno de su lugar, Elifaz Temanita, y Baldad Suita, y Sofar Naamatita: porque habían concertado de venir juntos a condolecerse de él, y a consolarle.
Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that was come on him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.
12 Los cuales alzando los ojos desde lejos, no le conocieron, y lloraron a alta voz, y cada uno de ellos rompió su manto, y esparcieron polvo sobre sus cabezas hacia el cielo.
And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust on their heads toward heaven.
13 Y asentáronse con él en tierra siete días y siete noches, y ninguno le hablaba palabra, porque veían que el dolor era grande mucho.
So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spoke a word to him: for they saw that his grief was very great.
