1 Había en la tierra de Uz un hombre llamado Job. Era íntegro y recto, temía a Dios y se apartaba del mal.
1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job. That man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away from evil.
2 Tenía siete hijos y tres hijas.
2 There were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
3 Poseía siete mil ovejas y cabras, tres mil camellos, mil bueyes, quinientas asnas y muchísimos sirvientes. Era el hombre más importante de todo el oriente.
3 His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east.
4 Sus hijos acostumbraban reunirse para celebrar banquetes en sus casas, cada uno en su turno. Invitaban también a sus tres hermanas a compartir los banquetes.
4 His sons went and held a feast in the house of each one on his birthday; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
5 Al terminar los días de banquete, Job mandaba llamar a sus hijos y los purificaba. Se levantaba temprano y ofrecía un holocausto por cada uno, pues pensaba: «Tal vez mis hijos hayan pecado y hayan hablado mal de Dios en su corazón». Job hacía esto cada vez que se celebraban los banquetes.
5 It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, 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.” Job did so continually.
6 Un día, los hijos de Dios se presentaron ante el Señor, y Satanás llegó entre ellos.
6 Now on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before Yahweh, Satan also came among them.
7 El Señor le preguntó a Satanás: «¿De dónde vienes?». Satanás respondió: «De recorrer la tierra y andar por ella».
7 Yahweh said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, “From going back and forth on the earth, and from walking up and down in it.”
8 El Señor le dijo: «¿Te has fijado en mi siervo Job? No hay nadie como él en la tierra. Es íntegro y recto, teme a Dios y se aparta del mal».
8 Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil.”
9 Satanás respondió al Señor: «¿Acaso Job teme a Dios sin recibir nada a cambio?
9 Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing?
10 ¿No lo has rodeado de un muro protector, a él, a su familia y a todo lo que tiene? Has bendecido su trabajo y has multiplicado su ganado por toda la tierra.
10 Haven’t you made a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
11 Pero extiende la mano y ataca todo lo que tiene. ¡Verás cómo te maldice en la cara!».
11 But stretch out your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce you to your face.”
12 El Señor le dijo a Satanás: «Todo lo que tiene queda en tus manos, pero a él no lo toques». Entonces Satanás salió de la presencia del Señor.
12 Yahweh said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power. Only on himself don’t stretch out your hand.” So Satan went out from the presence of Yahweh.
13 Un día, los hijos y las hijas de Job celebraban un banquete en casa del hermano mayor.
13 It fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,
14 Un mensajero llegó a Job y le dijo: «Los bueyes estaban arando y las asnas pastaban cerca de ellos.
14 that a messenger came to Job, and said, “The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them,
15 Los hombres de Seba nos atacaron, se llevaron los animales y mataron a los sirvientes a filo de espada. Solo yo escapé para traerte la noticia».
15 and the Sabeans attacked, and took them away. Yes, they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
16 Todavía estaba hablando cuando llegó otro y dijo: «Cayó del cielo fuego de Dios y consumió las ovejas, las cabras y los sirvientes. Solo yo escapé para traerte la noticia».
16 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The fire of God has fallen from the sky, and has burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
17 Todavía estaba hablando cuando llegó otro y dijo: «Los caldeos formaron tres grupos, atacaron a los camellos y se los llevaron. Mataron a los sirvientes a filo de espada. Solo yo escapé para traerte la noticia».
17 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The Chaldeans made three bands, and swept down on the camels, and have taken them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
18 Todavía estaba hablando cuando llegó otro y dijo: «Tus hijos y tus hijas celebraban un banquete en casa del hermano mayor.
18 While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,
19 De pronto vino del desierto un viento muy fuerte. Golpeó los cuatro lados de la casa, que cayó sobre los jóvenes, y todos murieron. Solo yo escapé para traerte la noticia».
19 and behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young men, and they are dead. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
20 Entonces Job se levantó, se rasgó la ropa y se cortó el cabello. Se inclinó hasta el suelo para adorar y dijo:
20 Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshiped.
21 «Sin nada salí del vientre de mi madre y sin nada volveré allí. El Señor dio y el Señor quitó. ¡Alabado sea el nombre del Señor!».
21 He said, “Naked I came out of my mother’s womb, and naked will I return there. Yahweh gave, and Yahweh has taken away. Blessed be Yahweh’s name.”
22 En todo esto, Job no pecó ni acusó a Dios de actuar sin sentido.
22 In all this, Job didn’t sin, nor charge God with wrongdoing.

… and all who worship Thee when they hear these things shall say: "Blessed be the Lord in heaven and earth, great and wonderful is His name." Thy words had stuck fast into my breast, and I was hedged round about by Thee on every side. Of Thy eternal life I was now certain, although I had seen it "through a …

In this way Paul became clean; therefore also he said, "For if we judged ourselves, we should not be judged." Thus did Job cleanse his sons. For he that offered sacrifices for secret sins, much more did he require an account of such as were manifest.

… tried, but not overcome: "Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; as it pleased the Lord, so has it come to pass: blessed be the name of the Lord." Like a good servant, Job counted the will of his Lord his great possession, by …

For he said, "The Lord gave, the Lord hath taken away; as it seemed good to the Lord, so is it done, blessed be the Name of the Lord." The fire of temptation approached him; but it found him gold, not stubble; it cleared away the dross from it, but did not reduce it to ashes.
