Job 1

KING JAMES BIBLE	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.	1 Havia, na terra de Hus, um homem chamado Jó, íntegro, reto, que temia a Deus e fugia do mal.
2 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.	2 Nasceram-lhe sete filhos e três filhas.
3 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.	3 Possuía sete mil ovelhas, três mil camelos, quinhentas juntas de bois, quinhentas jumentas e uma grande quantidade de escravos. Este homem era o mais considerado entre todos os homens do Oriente.
4 And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.	4 Seus filhos tinham o costume de ir à casa uns dos outros, alternadamente, para se banquetearem e convidavam suas três irmãs para comerem e beberem com eles.
5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, 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 cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.	5 Quando acabava a série dos dias de banquetes, Jó mandava chamar seus filhos para purificá-los e, na manhã do dia seguinte, oferecia um holocausto por intenção de cada um deles: porque, dizia ele, talvez meus filhos tenham pecado e amaldiçoado Deus nos seus corações. Assim fazia Jó cada vez.
6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.	6 Um dia em que os filhos de Deus se apresentaram diante do Senhor, veio também Satanás entre eles.
7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.	7 O Senhor disse-lhe: De onde vens tu? Andei dando volta pelo mundo, disse Satanás, e passeando por ele.
8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?	8 O Senhor disse-lhe: Notaste o meu servo Jó? Não há ninguém igual a ele na terra: íntegro, reto, temente a Deus, afastado do mal.
9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?	9 Mas Satanás respondeu ao Senhor: É a troco de nada que Jó teme a Deus?
10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.	10 Não cercaste como de uma muralha a sua pessoa, a sua casa e todos os seus bens? Abençoas tudo quanto ele faz e seus rebanhos cobrem toda a região.
11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.	11 Mas estende a tua mão e toca em tudo o que ele possui; juro-te que te amaldiçoará na tua face.
12 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.	12 Pois bem!, respondeu o Senhor. Tudo o que ele tem está em teu poder; mas não estendas a tua mão contra a sua pessoa. E Satanás saiu da presença do Senhor.
13 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:	13 Ora, um dia em que os filhos e filhas de Jó estavam à mesa e bebiam vinho em casa do seu irmão mais velho,
14 And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:	14 um mensageiro veio dizer a Jó: Os bois lavravam e as jumentas pastavam perto deles.
15 And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.	15 De repente, apareceram os sabeus e levaram tudo; e passaram à espada os escravos. Só eu consegui escapar para te trazer a notícia.
16 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.	16 Estando ele ainda a falar, veio outro e disse: O fogo de Deus caiu do céu; queimou, consumiu as ovelhas e os escravos. Só eu consegui escapar para te trazer a notícia.
17 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.	17 Ainda este falava, e eis que chegou outro e disse: Os caldeus, divididos em três bandos, lançaram-se sobre os camelos e os levaram. Passaram a fio de espada os escravos. Só eu consegui escapar para te trazer a notícia!
18 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:	18 Ainda este estava falando e eis que entrou outro, e disse: Teus filhos e filhas estavam comendo e bebendo vinho em casa do irmão mais velho,
19 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 I only am escaped alone to tell thee.	19 quando um furacão se levantou de repente do deserto, abalou os quatro cantos da casa e esta desabou sobre os jovens. Morreram todos. Só eu consegui escapar para te trazer a notícia.
20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,	20 Jó então se levantou, rasgou o manto e rapou a cabeça. Depois, caindo prosternado por terra,
21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.	21 disse: Nu saí do ventre de minha mãe, nu voltarei. O Senhor deu, o Senhor tirou: bendito seja o nome do Senhor!
22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.	22 Em tudo isso, Jó não cometeu pecado algum, nem proferiu contra Deus blasfêmia alguma.
