The Martyrdom of Job

O Martírio de Jó

In the land of Uz, there was a man whose name was JobExistia na terra de Uz, um certo homem chamado Jó
Obedient and God-fearing, he served the Lord with his childrenObediente e temente a Deus, com os filhos seus servia ao Senhor
At home, everything was wonderful, but one day everything changedEm sua casa era maravilha, mas um certo dia tudo mudou
Job lost his house, lost his family, his beloved home crumbledJó perdeu casa, perdeu a família, o lar querido desmoronou

Job suffered great pain and great disappointmentJó sofreu grande dor, grande decepção
He was wounded by sores, it also coversFoi ferido por chagas, cobre também
The beloved woman, whom he loved so muchA mulher querida, que tanto amava
She got tired of suffering, she became desperateCansou de sofrer, ficou desesperada

Job, Job, we are lost!Jó, Jó estamos perdidos!
Our children have already diedNossos filhos já morreram
All of them! Our sheep!Todos eles! As nossas ovelhas!
Our cattle too!O nosso gado também!
Job, we lost our farmsJó, perdemos nossas fazendas
And you, what do you say, Job?E tu, o que dizes, Jó?
Curse your GodAmaldiçoa teu Deus
And die, man!E morra, homem!

Like a madwoman, that's what you'll do, woman!Como uma doida, assim farás tu, mulher!
I was born naked, today I am clothedEu nasci nu, hoje estou vestido
Oh, Great God, Great God, Great God!Oh, grande Deus, grande Deus, grande Deus!

Job was humiliated, but he did not blasphemeJó foi humilhado, mas não blasfemou
He was always faithful, serving the LordFoi sempre fiel, servindo ao Senhor
We will be faithful, in struggle, in painSeremos fiéis, na luta, na dor
Following the example that Job left usSeguindo o exemplo que Jó nos deixou
