Job and His Family
1 There was a man in the country of Uz(A) named Job.(B) He was a man of complete integrity,(C) who feared God and turned away from evil.(D) 2 He had seven sons and three daughters.(E) 3 His estate included seven thousand sheep and goats, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys,(F) and a very large number of servants. Job was the greatest man among all the people of the east.(G)
4 His sons used to take turns having banquets at their homes. They would send an invitation to their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5 Whenever a round of banqueting was over, Job would send for his children and purify them, rising early in the morning to offer burnt offerings for[a] all of them. For Job thought, “Perhaps my children have sinned, having cursed God in their hearts.”(H) This was Job’s regular practice.
Satan’s First Test of Job
6 One day the sons of God(I) came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan[b] also came with them. 7 The Lord asked Satan, “Where have you come from?”
“From roaming through the earth,”(J) Satan answered him, “and walking around on it.”
8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? No one else on earth is like him, a man of perfect integrity,(K) who fears God and turns away from evil.”(L)
9 Satan answered the Lord, “Does Job fear God for nothing? 10 Haven’t you placed a hedge around(M) him, his household, and everything he owns? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. 11 But stretch out your hand and strike(N) everything he owns, and he will surely curse you to your face.”
12 “Very well,” the Lord told Satan, “everything he owns is in your power. However, do not lay a hand on Job himself.” So Satan left the Lord’s presence.
13 One day when Job’s sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house, 14 a messenger came to Job and reported, “While the oxen were plowing and the donkeys grazing nearby, 15 the Sabeans(O) swooped down and took them away. They struck down the servants with the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
16 He was still speaking when another messenger came and reported, “God’s fire fell from heaven.(P) It burned the sheep and the servants and devoured them, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
17 That messenger was still speaking when yet another came and reported, “The Chaldeans formed three bands, made a raid on the camels, and took them away. They struck down the servants with the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
18 He was still speaking when another messenger came and reported, “Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house. 19 Suddenly a powerful wind swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on the young people so that they died, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
20 Then Job stood up, tore(Q) his robe, and shaved(R) his head. He fell to the ground and worshiped, 21 saying:
Naked I came from my mother’s womb,(S)
and naked I will leave this life.[c](T)
The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.(U)
22 Throughout all this Job did not sin or blame God for anything.[d](V)

Integridad y riquezas de Job
1 Hubo un hombre en la tierra de Uz(A) llamado Job(B); y era aquel hombre intachable[a], recto(C), temeroso de[b] Dios(D) y apartado del mal(E). 2 Y le nacieron siete hijos y tres hijas(F). 3 Su hacienda era de siete mil ovejas, tres mil camellos, quinientas yuntas de bueyes, quinientas asnas(G) y muchísima servidumbre; y era aquel hombre el más grande(H) de todos los hijos del oriente. 4 Sus hijos solían ir y hacer un banquete en la casa de cada uno por turno, e invitaban[c] a sus tres hermanas para que comieran y bebieran con ellos. 5 Y sucedía que cuando los días del banquete habían pasado[d], Job enviaba a buscarlos y los santificaba, y levantándose temprano, ofrecía holocaustos(I) conforme al número de todos ellos. Porque Job decía: Quizá mis hijos hayan pecado(J) y maldecido a Dios en sus corazones(K). Así hacía Job siempre. 6 Hubo un día cuando los hijos de Dios vinieron a presentarse delante del Señor(L), y Satanás[e] vino también entre ellos(M). 7 Y el Señor dijo a Satanás: ¿De dónde vienes? Entonces Satanás respondió al Señor, y dijo: De recorrer la tierra y de andar por ella(N). 8 Y el Señor dijo a Satanás: ¿Te has fijado[f] en mi siervo Job(O)? Porque no hay ninguno como él sobre la tierra, hombre intachable[g] y recto, temeroso de[h] Dios y apartado del mal(P). 9 Respondió Satanás(Q) al Señor[i]: ¿Acaso teme Job a Dios de balde? 10 ¿No has hecho tú una valla alrededor de él, de su casa y de todo lo que tiene, por todos lados(R)? Has bendecido el trabajo de sus manos(S) y sus posesiones han aumentado en la tierra(T). 11 Pero extiende ahora tu mano y toca todo lo que tiene(U), verás si no te maldice en tu misma cara(V). 12 Entonces el Señor dijo a Satanás: He aquí, todo lo que tiene está en tu poder[j]; pero no extiendas tu mano sobre él. Y Satanás salió de la presencia del Señor.
Dios permite las pruebas de Job
13 Y aconteció que un[k] día en que sus hijos y sus hijas estaban comiendo y bebiendo vino en la casa del hermano mayor, 14 vino un mensajero a Job y dijo: Los bueyes estaban arando y las asnas paciendo junto a ellos, 15 y los sabeos[l](W) atacaron[m] y se los llevaron. También mataron[n] a los criados a filo de espada; solo yo[o] escapé para contártelo. 16 Mientras estaba este hablando, vino otro y dijo: Fuego de Dios cayó del cielo y quemó las ovejas y a los criados y los consumió(X); solo yo escapé para contártelo. 17 Mientras estaba este hablando, vino otro y dijo: Los caldeos(Y) formaron tres cuadrillas y atacaron los camellos y se los llevaron, y mataron[p] a los criados a filo de espada; solo yo escapé para contártelo. 18 Mientras estaba este hablando, vino otro y dijo: Tus hijos y tus hijas estaban comiendo y bebiendo vino en la casa de su hermano mayor, 19 y he aquí, vino un gran viento del otro lado del desierto y azotó las cuatro esquinas de la casa, y esta cayó sobre los jóvenes y murieron; solo yo escapé para contártelo.
20 Entonces Job se levantó, rasgó su manto, se rasuró la cabeza, y postrándose en tierra(Z), adoró, 21 y dijo:
Desnudo salí del vientre de mi madre
y desnudo volveré allá(AA).
El Señor dio y el Señor quitó(AB);
bendito sea el nombre del Señor.
22 En todo esto Job no pecó ni culpó[q] a Dios(AC).

Prologue
1 In the land of Uz(A) there lived a man whose name was Job.(B) This man was blameless(C) and upright;(D) he feared God(E) and shunned evil.(F) 2 He had seven sons(G) and three daughters,(H) 3 and he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys,(I) and had a large number of servants.(J) He was the greatest man(K) among all the people of the East.(L)
4 His sons used to hold feasts(M) in their homes on their birthdays, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5 When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would make arrangements for them to be purified.(N) Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering(O) for each of them, thinking, “Perhaps my children have sinned(P) and cursed God(Q) in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular custom.
6 One day the angels[a](R) came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan[b](S) also came with them.(T) 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.”(U)
8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job?(V) There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God(W) and shuns evil.”(X)
9 “Does Job fear God for nothing?”(Y) Satan replied. 10 “Have you not put a hedge(Z) around him and his household and everything he has?(AA) You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land.(AB) 11 But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has,(AC) and he will surely curse you to your face.”(AD)
12 The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, everything he has(AE) is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.”(AF)
Then Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.
13 One day when Job’s sons and daughters(AG) were feasting(AH) and drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house, 14 a messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing(AI) nearby, 15 and the Sabeans(AJ) 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 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “The fire of God fell from the heavens(AK) and burned up the sheep and the servants,(AL) and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
17 While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “The Chaldeans(AM) 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 While he was still speaking, yet another messenger came and said, “Your sons and daughters(AN) were feasting(AO) and drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house, 19 when suddenly a mighty wind(AP) swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on them and they are dead,(AQ) and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!(AR)”
20 At this, Job got up and tore his robe(AS) and shaved his head.(AT) Then he fell to the ground in worship(AU) 21 and said:
“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
and naked I will depart.[c](AV)
The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away;(AW)
may the name of the Lord be praised.”(AX)
22 In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.(AY)
