WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Job respondió:
1 Then Job answered,
2 He oído muchas veces esas cosas. ¡Ustedes son consoladores que solo aumentan el sufrimiento!
2 “I have heard many such things. You are all miserable comforters!
3 ¿No acabarán esas palabras vacías como el viento? ¿Qué te molesta tanto que sigues respondiendo?
3 Shall vain words have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer?
4 Yo también podría hablar así si ustedes estuvieran en mi lugar. Podría acumular palabras contra ustedes y sacudir la cabeza en señal de burla.
4 I also could speak as you do. If your soul were in my soul’s place, I could join words together against you, and shake my head at you,
5 Pero podría animarlos con mis palabras y no negarles el consuelo de mis labios.
5 but I would strengthen you with my mouth. The solace of my lips would relieve you.
6 Si hablo, mi dolor no disminuye; y si callo, ¿cuánto dolor se me quita?
6 “Though I speak, my grief is not subsided. Though I forbear, what am I eased?
7 Ahora Dios me ha vencido con el cansancio y el miedo; estoy atrapado en todo mi sufrimiento.
7 But now, God, you have surely worn me out. You have made all my company desolate.
8 Ese sufrimiento se levanta como testigo contra mí; mi cuerpo consumido me acusa en la cara.
8 You have shriveled me up. This is a witness against me. My leanness rises up against me. It testifies to my face.
9 Su ira me destroza y su odio me persigue; afila sus dientes contra mí. Mis enemigos me miran con crueldad.
9 He has torn me in his wrath and persecuted me. He has gnashed on me with his teeth. My adversary sharpens his eyes on me.
10 Abren la boca contra mí y sus palabras amargas me golpean el rostro. Todos se juntan contra mí.
10 They have gaped on me with their mouth. They have struck me on the cheek reproachfully. They gather themselves together against me.
11 Dios me entrega al poder de los pecadores y me arroja en manos de los malvados.
11 God delivers me to the ungodly, and casts me into the hands of the wicked.
12 Vivía tranquilo, pero sus manos me destrozaron. Me tomó por el cuello y me sacudió hasta hacerme pedazos. Me puso como blanco de sus flechas.
12 I was at ease, and he broke me apart. Yes, he has taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces. He has also set me up for his target.
13 Sus arqueros me rodean; sus flechas atraviesan mi cuerpo sin piedad y mi vida se derrama por tierra.
13 His archers surround me. He splits my kidneys apart, and does not spare. He pours out my bile on the ground.
14 Me causa una herida tras otra; se lanza contra mí como un guerrero.
14 He breaks me with breach on breach. He runs at me like a giant.
15 Me he cubierto la piel con ropa de tela áspera y he hundido mi fuerza en el polvo.
15 I have sewed sackcloth on my skin, and have thrust my horn in the dust.
16 Tengo el rostro enrojecido de tanto llorar y los ojos se me oscurecen,
16 My face is red with weeping. Deep darkness is on my eyelids,
17 aunque mis manos no han cometido violencia y mi oración es pura.
17 although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.
18 ¡Tierra, no cubras mi sangre! ¡Que mi clamor no encuentre descanso!
18 “Earth, don’t cover my blood. Let my cry have no place to rest.
19 Aun ahora tengo un testigo en el cielo; en lo alto está quien apoya mi causa.
19 Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven. He who vouches for me is on high.
20 Mis amigos se burlan de mí; mis ojos derraman lágrimas ante Dios,
20 My friends scoff at me. My eyes pour out tears to God,
21 para que él resuelva la causa de un hombre ante Dios y la de un hombre ante su prójimo.
21 that he would maintain the right of a man with God, of a son of man with his neighbor!
22 Pronto emprenderé el viaje del que no regresaré.
22 For when a few years have come, I will go the way of no return.
