1 And Job again took up the word and said,
1 Y REASUMIÓ Job su discurso, y dijo:
1 Job again took up his parable, and said,
2 By the life of God, who has taken away my right; and of the Ruler of all, who has made my soul bitter;
2 Vive Dios, el cual ha apartado mi causa, y el Omnipotente, que amargó el alma mía,
2 “As God lives, who has taken away my right, the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter
3 (For all my breath is still in me, and the spirit of God is my life;)
3 Que todo el tiempo que mi alma estuviere en mí, y [hubiere] hálito de Dios en mis narices,
3 (for the length of my life is still in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils);
4 Truly, there is no deceit in my lips, and my tongue does not say what is false.
4 Mis labios no hablarán iniquidad, ni mi lengua pronunciará engaño.
4 surely my lips will not speak unrighteousness, neither will my tongue utter deceit.
5 Let it be far from me! I will certainly not say that you are right! I will come to death before I give up my righteousness.
5 Nunca tal acontezca que yo os justifique: hasta morir no quitaré de mí mi integridad.
5 Far be it from me that I should justify you. Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
6 I will keep it safe, and will not let it go: my heart has nothing to say against any part of my life.
6 Mi justicia tengo asida, y no la cederé: no [me] reprochará mi corazón en el tiempo de mi vida.
6 I hold fast to my righteousness, and will not let it go. My heart will not reproach me so long as I live.
7 Let my hater be like the evil man, and let him who comes against me be as the sinner.
7 Sea como el impío mi enemigo, y como el inicuo mi adversario.
7 “Let my enemy be as the wicked. Let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.
8 For what is the hope of the sinner when he is cut off, when God takes back his soul?
8 Porque ¿cuál es la esperanza del hipócrita, por mucho que hubiere robado, cuando Dios arrebatare su alma?
8 For what is the hope of the godless, when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
9 Will his cry come to the ears of God when he is in trouble?
9 ¿Oirá Dios su clamor cuando la tribulación sobre él viniere?
9 Will God hear his cry when trouble comes on him?
10 Will he take delight in the Ruler of all, and make his prayer to God at all times?
10 ¿Deleitaráse en el Omnipotente? ¿invocará á Dios en todo tiempo?
10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call on God at all times?
11 I will give you teaching about the hand of God; I will not keep secret from you what is in the mind of the Ruler of all.
11 Yo os enseñaré en orden á la mano de Dios: no esconderé lo que hay para con el Omnipotente.
11 I will teach you about the hand of God. I will not conceal that which is with the Almighty.
12 Truly, you have all seen it yourselves; why then have you become completely foolish?
12 He aquí que todos vosotros lo habéis visto: ¿por qué pues os desvanecéis con fantasía?
12 Behold, all of you have seen it yourselves; why then have you become altogether vain?
13 This is the punishment of the evil-doer from God, and the heritage given to the cruel by the Ruler of all.
13 Esta es para con Dios la suerte del hombre impío, y la herencia que los violentos han de recibir del Omnipotente.
13 “This is the portion of a wicked man with God, the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.
14 If his children are increased, it is for the sword; and his offspring have not enough bread.
14 Si sus hijos fueren multiplicados, serán para el cuchillo; y sus pequeños no se hartarán de pan;
14 If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword. His offspring will not be satisfied with bread.
15 When those of his house who are still living come to their end by disease, they are not put into the earth, and their widows are not weeping for them.
15 Los que le quedaren, en muerte serán sepultados; y no llorarán sus viudas.
15 Those who remain of him will be buried in death. His widows will make no lamentation.
16 Though he may get silver together like dust, and make ready great stores of clothing;
16 Si amontonare plata como polvo, y si preparare ropa como lodo;
16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay;
17 He may get them ready, but the upright will put them on, and he who is free from sin will take the silver for a heritage.
17 Habrála él preparado, mas el justo se vestirá, y el inocente repartirá la plata.
17 he may prepare it, but the just will put it on, and the innocent will divide the silver.
18 His house has no more strength than a spider's thread, or a watchman's tent.
18 Edificó su casa como la polilla, y cual cabaña que el guarda hizo.
18 He builds his house as the moth, as a booth which the watchman makes.
19 He goes to rest full of wealth, but does so for the last time: on opening his eyes, he sees it there no longer.
19 El rico dormirá, mas no será recogido: abrirá sus ojos, mas él no será.
19 He lies down rich, but he will not do so again. He opens his eyes, and he is not.
20 Fears overtake him like rushing waters; in the night the storm-wind takes him away.
20 Asirán de él terrores como aguas: torbellino lo arrebatará de noche.
20 Terrors overtake him like waters. A storm steals him away in the night.
21 The east wind takes him up and he is gone; he is forced violently out of his place.
21 Lo antecogerá el solano, y partirá; y tempestad lo arrebatará del lugar suyo.
21 The east wind carries him away, and he departs. It sweeps him out of his place.
22 God sends his arrows against him without mercy; he goes in flight before his hand.
22 [Dios] pues descargará sobre él, y no perdonará: hará él por huir de su mano.
22 For it hurls at him, and does not spare, as he flees away from his hand.
23 Men make signs of joy because of him, driving him from his place with sounds of hissing.
23 Batirán sus manos sobre él, y desde su lugar le silbarán.
23 Men will clap their hands at him, and will hiss him out of his place.
