New International Version NIV
1 Havia um homem na terra de Uz, cujo nome era Jó. Era homem íntegro e reto, que temia a Deus e se desviava do mal.
1
In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil.
2 Nasceram-lhe sete filhos e três filhas.
2
He had seven sons and three daughters,
3 Possuía ele sete mil ovelhas, três mil camelos, quinhentas juntas de bois e quinhentas jumentas, tendo também muitíssima gente ao seu serviço; de modo que este homem era o maior de todos os do Oriente.
3
and he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys, and had a large number of servants. He was the greatest man among all the people of the East.
4 Iam seus filhos � casa uns dos outros e faziam banquetes cada um por sua vez; e mandavam convidar as suas três irmãs para comerem e beberem com eles.
4
His sons used to hold feasts in their homes on their birthdays, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
5 E sucedia que, tendo decorrido o turno de dias de seus banquetes, enviava Jó e os santificava; e, levantando-se de madrugada, oferecia holocaustos segundo o número de todos eles; pois dizia Jó: Talvez meus filhos tenham pecado, e blasfemado de Deus no seu coração. Assim o fazia Jó continuamente.
5
When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would make arrangements for them to be purified. Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering for each of them, thinking, “Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular custom.
6 Ora, chegado o dia em que os filhos de Deus vieram apresentar-se perante o Senhor, veio também Satanás entre eles.
6
One day the angels came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them.
7 O Senhor perguntou a Satanás: Donde vens? E Satanás respondeu ao Senhor, dizendo: De rodear a terra, e de passear por ela.
7
The LORD said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan answered the LORD, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.”
8 Disse o Senhor a Satanás: Notaste porventura o meu servo Jó, que ninguém há na terra semelhante a ele, homem íntegro e reto, que teme a Deus e se desvia do mal?
8
Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.”
9 Então respondeu Satanás ao Senhor, e disse: Porventura Jó teme a Deus debalde?
9
“Does Job fear God for nothing?” Satan replied.
10 Não o tens protegido de todo lado a ele, a sua casa e a tudo quanto tem? Tens abençoado a obra de suas mãos, e os seus bens se multiplicam na terra.
10
“Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land.
11 Mas estende agora a tua mão, e toca-lhe em tudo quanto tem, e ele blasfemará de ti na tua face!
11
But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face.”
12 Ao que disse o Senhor a Satanás: Eis que tudo o que ele tem está no teu poder; somente contra ele não estendas a tua mão. E Satanás saiu da presença do Senhor.
12
The LORD said to Satan, “Very well, then, everything he has is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.” Then Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.
13 Certo dia, quando seus filhos e suas filhas comiam e bebiam vinho em casa do irmão mais velho,
13
One day when Job’s sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house,
14 veio um mensageiro a Jó e lhe disse: Os bois lavravam, e as jumentas pasciam junto a eles;
14
a messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing nearby,
15 e deram sobre eles os sabeus, e os tomaram; mataram os moços ao fio da espada, e só eu escapei para trazer-te a nova.
15
and the Sabeans attacked and made off with them. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
16 Enquanto este ainda falava, veio outro e disse: Fogo de Deus caiu do céu e queimou as ovelhas e os moços, e os consumiu; e so eu escapei para trazer-te a nova.
16
While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “The fire of God fell from the heavens and burned up the sheep and the servants, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
17 Enquanto este ainda falava, veio outro e disse: Os caldeus, dividindo-se em três bandos, deram sobre os camelos e os tomaram; e mataram os moços ao fio da espada; e só eu escapei para trazer-te a nova.
17
While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three raiding parties and swept down on your camels and made off with them. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
18 Enquanto este ainda falava, veio outro e disse: Teus filhos e tuas filhas estavam comendo e bebendo vinho em casa do irmão mais velho;
18
While he was still speaking, yet another messenger came and said, “Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house,
19 e eis que sobrevindo um grande vento de além do deserto, deu nos quatro cantos da casa, e ela caiu sobre os mancebos, de sorte que morreram; e só eu escapei para trazer-te a nova.
19
when suddenly a mighty wind swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on them and they are dead, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
20 Então Jó se levantou, rasgou o seu manto, rapou a sua cabeça e, lançando-se em terra, adorou;
20
At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship
21 e disse: Nu saí do ventre de minha mãe, e nu tornarei para lá. O Senhor deu, e o Senhor tirou; bendito seja o nome do Senhor.
21
and said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart.The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised.”
22 Em tudo isso Jó não pecou, nem atribuiu a Deus falta alguma.
22
In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.
