Job 30 Bible in Basic English
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 But now those who are younger than I make sport of me; those whose fathers I would not have put with the dogs of my flocks.
1 MAS ahora los más mozos de días que yo, se ríen de mí; cuyos padres yo desdeñara ponerlos con los perros de mi ganado.
2 Of what use is the strength of their hands to me? all force is gone from them.
2 Porque ¿para qué yo habría menester la fuerza de sus manos, en los cuales había perecido con el tiempo?
3 They are wasted for need of food, biting the dry earth; their only hope of life is in the waste land.
3 Por causa de la pobreza y del hambre [andaban] solos; huían á la soledad, á lugar tenebroso, asolado y desierto.
4 They are pulling off the salt leaves from the brushwood, and making a meal of roots.
4 Que cogían malvas entre los arbustos, y raíces de enebro para calentarse.
5 They are sent out from among their townsmen, men are crying after them as thieves
5 Eran echados de entre [las gentes], y todos les daban grita como al ladrón.
6 They have to get a resting-place in the hollows of the valleys, in holes of the earth and rocks.
6 Habitaban en las barrancas de los arroyos, en las cavernas de la tierra, y en las rocas.
7 They make noises like asses among the brushwood; they get together under the thorns.
7 Bramaban entre las matas, y se reunían debajo de las espinas.
8 They are sons of shame, and of men without a name, who have been forced out of the land.
8 Hijos de viles, y hombres sin nombre, más bajos que la misma tierra.
9 And now I have become their song, and I am a word of shame to them.
9 Y ahora yo soy su canción, y he sido hecho su refrán.
10 I am disgusting to them; they keep away from me, and put marks of shame on me.
10 Abomínanme, aléjanse de mí, y aun de mi rostro no detuvieron su saliva.
11 For he has made loose the cord of my bow, and put me to shame; he has sent down my flag to the earth before me.
11 Porque [Dios] desató mi cuerda, y me afligió, por eso se desenfrenaron delante de mi rostro.
12 The lines of his men of war put themselves in order, and make high their ways of destruction against me:
12 A la mano derecha se levantaron los jóvenes; empujaron mis pies, y sentaron contra mí las vías de su ruina.
13 They have made waste my roads, with a view to my destruction; his bowmen come round about me;
13 Mi senda desbarataron, aprovecháronse de mi quebrantamiento, contra los cuales no hubo ayudador.
14 As through a wide broken place in the wall they come on, I am overturned by the shock of their attack.
14 Vinieron como por portillo ancho, revolviéronse á [mi] calamidad.
15 Fears have come on me; my hope is gone like the wind, and my well-being like a cloud.
15 Hanse revuelto turbaciones sobre mí; combatieron como viento mi alma, y mi salud pasó como nube.
16 But now my soul is turned to water in me, days of trouble overtake me:
16 Y ahora mi alma está derramada en mí; días de aflicción me han aprehendido.
17 The flesh is gone from my bones, and they give me no rest; there is no end to my pains.
17 De noche taladra sobre mí mis huesos, y mis pulsos no reposan.
18 With great force he takes a grip of my clothing, pulling me by the neck of my coat.
18 Con la grande copia [de materia] mi vestidura está demudada; cíñeme como el cuello de mi túnica.
19 Truly God has made me low, even to the earth, and I have become like dust.
19 Derribóme en el lodo, y soy semejante al polvo y á la ceniza.
20 You give no answer to my cry, and take no note of my prayer.
20 Clamo á ti, y no me oyes; preséntome, y no me atiendes.
21 You have become cruel to me; the strength of your hand is hard on me.
21 Haste tornado cruel para mí: con la fortaleza de tu mano me amenazas.
22 Lifting me up, you make me go on the wings of the wind; I am broken up by the storm.
22 Levantásteme, é hicísteme cabalgar sobre el viento, y disolviste mi sustancia.
23 For I am certain that you will send me back to death, and to the meeting-place ordered for all living.
23 Porque yo conozco que me reduces á la muerte; y á la casa determinada á todo viviente.
24 Has not my hand been stretched out in help to the poor? have I not been a saviour to him in his trouble?
24 Mas él no extenderá la mano contra el sepulcro; ¿clamarán [los sepultados] cuando él los quebrantare?
25 Have I not been weeping for the crushed? and was not my soul sad for him who was in need?
25 ¿No lloré yo al afligido? Y mi alma ¿no se entristeció sobre el menesteroso?
26 For I was looking for good, and evil came; I was waiting for light, and it became dark.
26 Cuando esperaba yo el bien, entonces vino el mal; y cuando esperaba luz, la oscuridad vino.
27 My feelings are strongly moved, and give me no rest; days of trouble have overtaken me.
27 Mis entrañas hierven, y no reposan; días de aflicción me han sobrecogido.
28 I go about in dark clothing, uncomforted; I get up in the public place, crying out for help.
28 Denegrido ando, y no por el sol: levantádome he en la congregación, y clamado.
29 I have become a brother to the jackals, and go about in the company of ostriches.
29 He venido á ser hermano de los dragones, y compañero de los buhos.
30 My skin is black and dropping off me; and my bones are burning with the heat of my disease.
30 Mi piel está denegrida sobre mí, y mis huesos se secaron con ardentía.
31 And my music has been turned to sorrow, and the sound of my pipe into the noise of weeping.
31 Y hase tornado mi arpa en luto, y mi órgano en voz de lamentadores.
