1 Mi espíritu está quebrantado, mis días terminan y el sepulcro me espera.
1 “My spirit is consumed. My days are extinct and the grave is ready for me.
2 Estoy rodeado de burlones; mis ojos se oscurecen por su risa amarga.
2 Surely there are mockers with me. My eye dwells on their provocation.
3 Dios, responde tú mismo por mí ante ti. No hay otro que estreche mi mano para responder por mí.
3 “Now give a pledge. Be collateral for me with yourself. Who is there who will strike hands with me?
4 Has cerrado sus corazones a la sabiduría; por eso no les darás honra.
4 For you have hidden their heart from understanding, therefore you will not exalt them.
5 Al que traiciona a su amigo por una recompensa, se le apagarán los ojos de sus hijos.
5 He who denounces his friends for plunder, even the eyes of his children will fail.
6 Dios me ha convertido en motivo de vergüenza entre los pueblos; soy blanco de sus burlas.
6 “But he has made me a byword of the people. They spit in my face.
7 Mis ojos se oscurecen por el dolor y mi cuerpo se ha consumido hasta parecer una sombra.
7 My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow. All my members are as a shadow.
8 Los rectos se asombran de esto y los inocentes se indignan por los malvados.
8 Upright men will be astonished at this. The innocent will stir himself up against the godless.
9 Aun así, el justo sigue su camino y el que tiene las manos limpias cobra nuevas fuerzas.
9 Yet the righteous will hold to his way. He who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger.
10 Pero vuelvan todos ustedes, vengan. No encontraré un solo sabio entre ustedes.
10 But as for you all, come back. I will not find a wise man among you.
11 Mis días han pasado; se han roto mis planes y los deseos de mi corazón.
11 My days are past. My plans are broken off, as are the thoughts of my heart.
12 Ustedes convierten la noche en día y dicen: «La luz está cerca de la oscuridad».
12 They change the night into day, saying ‘The light is near’ in the presence of darkness.
13 Si espero que el lugar de los muertos sea mi casa y preparo mi cama en la oscuridad,
13 If I look for Sheol as my house, if I have spread my couch in the darkness,
14 si le digo a la tierra: «Tú eres mi padre», y al gusano: «Tú eres mi madre y mi hermana»,
14 if I have said to corruption, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ and ‘My sister,’
15 ¿dónde está entonces mi esperanza? ¿Quién verá cumplido mi deseo?
15 where then is my hope? As for my hope, who will see it?
16 ¿Bajarán conmigo al lugar de los muertos? ¿Bajaremos juntos al polvo?
16 Shall it go down with me to the gates of Sheol, or descend together into the dust?”
