2 How long will you make my life bitter, crushing me with words?
2 ¿Hasta cuándo angustiaréis mi alma, y me moleréis con palabras?
2 “How long will you torment me, and crush me with words?
3 Ten times now you have made sport of me; it gives you no sense of shame to do me wrong.
3 Ya me habéis vituperado diez veces: ¿no os avergonzáis de descomediros delante de mí?
3 You have reproached me ten times. You aren’t ashamed that you attack me.
4 And, truly, if I have been in error, the effect of my error is only on myself.
4 Sea así que realmente haya yo errado, conmigo se quedará mi yerro.
4 If it is true that I have erred, my error remains with myself.
5 If you make yourselves great against me, using my punishment as an argument against me,
5 Mas si vosotros os engrandeciereis contra mí, y adujereis contra mí mi oprobio,
5 If indeed you will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach,
6 Be certain that it is God who has done me wrong, and has taken me in his net.
6 Sabed ahora que Dios me ha trastornado, y traído en derredor su red sobre mí.
6 know now that God has subverted me, and has surrounded me with his net.
7 Truly, I make an outcry against the violent man, but there is no answer: I give a cry for help, but no one takes up my cause.
7 He aquí yo clamaré agravio, y no seré oído: daré voces, y no habrá juicio.
7 “Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard. I cry for help, but there is no justice.
8 My way is walled up by him so that I may not go by: he has made my roads dark.
8 Cercó de vallado mi camino, y no pasaré; y sobre mis veredas puso tinieblas.
8 He has walled up my way so that I can’t pass, and has set darkness in my paths.
9 He has put off my glory from me, and taken the crown from my head.
9 Hame despojado de mi gloria, y quitado la corona de mi cabeza.
9 He has stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
10 I am broken down by him on every side, and I am gone; my hope is uprooted like a tree.
10 Arruinóme por todos lados, y perezco; y ha hecho pasar mi esperanza como árbol [arrancado].
10 He has broken me down on every side, and I am gone. He has plucked my hope up like a tree.
11 His wrath is burning against me, and I am to him as one of his haters.
11 E hizo inflamar contra mí su furor, y contóme para sí entre sus enemigos.
11 He has also kindled his wrath against me. He counts me among his adversaries.
12 His armies come on together, they make their road high against me, and put up their tents round mine.
12 Vinieron sus ejércitos á una, y trillaron sobre mí su camino, y asentaron campo en derredor de mi tienda.
12 His troops come on together, build a siege ramp against me, and encamp around my tent.
13 He has taken my brothers far away from me; they have seen my fate and have become strange to me.
13 Hizo alejar de mí mis hermanos, y positivamente se extrañaron de mí mis conocidos.
13 “He has put my brothers far from me. My acquaintances are wholly estranged from me.

14 Mis parientes se detuvieron, y mis conocidos se olvidaron de mí.
14 My relatives have gone away. My familiar friends have forgotten me.
15 I am strange to my women-servants, and seem to them as one from another country.
15 Los moradores de mi casa y mis criadas me tuvieron por extraño: forastero fuí yo en sus ojos.
15 Those who dwell in my house and my maids consider me a stranger. I am an alien in their sight.
16 At my cry my servant gives me no answer, and I have to make a prayer to him.
16 Llamé á mi siervo, y no respondió; de mi propia boca le suplicaba.
16 I call to my servant, and he gives me no answer. I beg him with my mouth.
17 My breath is strange to my wife, and I am disgusting to the offspring of my mother's body.
17 Mi aliento vino á ser extraño á mi mujer, aunque por los hijos de mis entrañas [le] rogaba.
17 My breath is offensive to my wife. I am loathsome to the children of my own mother.
18 Even young children have no respect for me; when I get up their backs are turned on me.
18 Aun los muchachos me menospreciaron: en levantándome, hablaban contra mí.
18 Even young children despise me. If I arise, they speak against me.
19 All the men of my circle keep away from me; and those dear to me are turned against me.
19 Todos mis confidentes me aborrecieron; y los que yo amaba, se tornaron contra mí.
19 All my familiar friends abhor me. They whom I loved have turned against me.
20 My bones are joined to my skin, and I have got away with my flesh in my teeth.
20 Mi cuero y mi carne se pegaron á mis huesos; y he escapado con la piel de mis dientes.
20 My bones stick to my skin and to my flesh. I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
21 Have pity on me, have pity on me, O my friends! for the hand of God is on me.
21 Oh vosotros mis amigos, tened compasión de mí, tened compasión de mí; porque la mano de Dios me ha tocado.
21 “Have pity on me. Have pity on me, you my friends, for the hand of God has touched me.
22 Why are you cruel to me, like God, for ever saying evil against me?
22 ¿Por qué me perseguís como Dios, y no os hartáis de mis carnes?
22 Why do you persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
23 If only my words might be recorded! if they might be put in writing in a book!
23 ¡Quién diese ahora que mis palabras fuesen escritas! ¡quién diese que se escribieran en un libro!
23 “Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
24 And with an iron pen and lead be cut into the rock for ever!
24 ¡Que con cincel de hierro y con plomo fuesen en piedra esculpidas para siempre!
24 That with an iron pen and lead they were engraved in the rock forever!
25 But I am certain that he who will take up my cause is living, and that in time to come he will take his place on the dust;
25 Yo sé que mi Redentor vive, y al fin se levantará sobre el polvo:
25 But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives. In the end, he will stand upon the earth.
26 And ... without my flesh I will see God;
26 Y después de deshecha esta mi piel, aun he de ver en mi carne á Dios;
26 After my skin is destroyed, then I will see God in my flesh,
27 Whom I will see on my side, and not as one strange to me. My heart is broken with desire.
27 Al cual yo tengo de ver por mí, y mis ojos lo verán, y no otro, [aunque] mis riñones se consuman dentro de mí.
27 whom I, even I, will see on my side. My eyes will see, and not as a stranger. “My heart is consumed within me.
28 If you say, How cruel we will be to him! because the root of sin is clearly in him:
28 Mas debierais decir: ¿Por qué lo perseguimos? ya que la raíz del negocio en mí se halla.
28 If you say, ‘How we will persecute him!’ because the root of the matter is found in me,
29 Be in fear of the sword, for the sword is the punishment for such things, so that you may be certain that there is a judge.
29 Temed vosotros delante de la espada; porque [sobreviene] el furor de la espada [á causa] de las injusticias, para que sepáis que hay un juicio.
29 be afraid of the sword, for wrath brings the punishments of the sword, that you may know there is a judgment.”
