Job 1
1 Hubo un varón en tierra de Hus, llamado Job: y era este hombre perfecto y recto, y temeroso de Dios, y apartado de mal.
There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job, and that man was perfect and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away from evil.
2 Y naciéronle siete hijos y tres hijas.
And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
3 Y su hacienda era siete mil ovejas, y tres mil camellos, y quinientas yuntas de bueyes, y quinientas asnas, y muy grande apero: y era aquel varón grande más que todos los Orientales.
His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-donkeys, and a very great household, so that this man was the greatest of all the sons of the east.
4 E iban sus hijos, y hacían banquetes en sus casas cada uno en su día: y enviaban a llamar sus tres hermanas, para que comiesen y bebiesen con ellos.
And his sons went and held a feast in the house of each one upon his day, and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
5 Y acontecía que habiendo pasado en torno los días del convite, Job enviaba, y santificábalos, y levantábase de mañana, y ofrecía holocaustos al número de todos ellos. Porque decía Job: Quizá habrán pecado mis hijos, y habrán blasfemado de Dios en sus corazones. De esta manera hacía Job todos los días.
And it was so, when the days of their feasting were completed, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts. Thus Job did continually.
6 Y un día vinieron los hijos de Dios a presentarse delante de Jehová, entre los cuales vino también Satanás.
Now it came to pass on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, that Satan also came among them.
7 Y dijo Jehová a Satanás: ¿De dónde vienes? Y respondiendo Satanás a Jehová, dijo: De rodear la tierra, y de andar por ella.
And Jehovah said to Satan, From where do thou come? Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.
8 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?
And Jehovah said to Satan, Have thou considered my servant Job? For there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil.
9 Y respondiendo Satanás a Jehová, dijo: ¿Teme Job a Dios de balde?
Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, Does Job fear God for nothing?
10 ¿No le has tú cercado a él, y a su casa, y a todo lo que tiene en derredor? Al trabajo de sus manos has dado bendición: por tanto su hacienda ha crecido sobre la tierra.
Have thou not made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he has, on every side? Thou have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
11 Mas extiende ahora tu mano, y toca a todo lo que tiene, y verás si no te blasfema en tu rostro.
But put forth thy hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce thee to thy face.
12 Y dijo Jehová a Satanás: He aquí, todo lo que tiene está en tu mano: solamente no pongas tu mano, sobre él. Y salióse Satanás de delante de Jehová.
And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, all that he has is in thy power, only upon himself do not put forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah.
13 Y un día aconteció que sus hijos e hijas comían, y bebían vino en casa de su hermano el primogénito.
And it fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,
14 Y vino un mensajero a Job, que le dijo: Estando arando los bueyes, y las asnas paciendo donde suelen,
that there came a messenger to Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them,
15 Acometieron los Sabeos, y tomáronlos, e hirieron a los mozos a filo de espada: solamente escapé yo solo para traerte las nuevas.
and the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away. Yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword, and only I alone have escaped to tell thee.
16 Aun estaba este hablando, y vino otro que dijo: Fuego de Dios cayó del cielo, que quemó las ovejas, y los mozos, y los consumió: solamente escapé yo solo para traerte las nuevas.
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God fell from heaven, and has burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them, and only I alone have escaped to tell thee.
17 Aun estaba este hablando, y vino otro que dijo: Los Caldeos hicieron tres escuadrones, y dieron sobre los camellos y tomáronlos, e hirieron a los mozos a filo de espada: y solamente escapé yo solo para traerte las nuevas.
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have taken them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword, and only I alone have escaped to tell thee.
18 Entre tanto que este hablaba, vino otro que dijo: Tus hijos y tus hijas estaban comiendo, y bebiendo vino en casa de su hermano el primogénito.
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house.
19 Y, he aquí un gran viento que vino detrás del desierto, e hirió las cuatro esquinas de la casa, y cayó sobre los mozos, y murieron: y solamente escapé yo solo para traerte las nuevas.
And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead, and only I alone have escaped to tell thee.
20 Entonces Job se levantó, y rompió su manto, y trasquiló su cabeza, y cayendo en tierra adoró,
Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshiped.
21 Y dijo: Desnudo salí del vientre de mi madre, y desnudo tornaré allá: Jehová dió, y Jehová tomó; sea el nombre de Jehová bendito.
And he said, Naked I came out of my mother's womb, and naked I shall return there. Jehovah gave, and Jehovah has taken away, blessed be the name of Jehovah.
22 En todo esto no pecó Job, ni atribuyó locura a Dios.
In all this Job did not sin, nor foolishly accuse God.
