1 Job respondió:
1 Then Job answered,
2 Escuchen con cuidado mis palabras; al menos así podrán consolarme.
2 “Listen diligently to my speech. Let this be your consolation.
3 Déjenme hablar y después sigan burlándose.
3 Allow me, and I also will speak. After I have spoken, mock on.
4 ¿Acaso mi queja va dirigida a un hombre? Entonces, ¿por qué extrañarse de mi angustia?
4 As for me, is my complaint to man? Why shouldn’t I be impatient?
5 Mírenme y queden asombrados; pónganse la mano sobre la boca.
5 Look at me, and be astonished. Lay your hand on your mouth.
6 Con solo pensarlo, mi cuerpo tiembla de miedo.
6 When I remember, I am troubled. Horror takes hold of my flesh.
7 ¿Por qué siguen vivos los malvados, llegan a viejos y aumentan su poder?
7 “Why do the wicked live, become old, yes, and grow mighty in power?
8 Sus hijos siempre están con ellos y ven crecer a sus descendientes.
8 Their child is established with them in their sight, their offspring before their eyes.
9 Sus casas están libres de temor y la vara de Dios no los castiga.
9 Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.
10 Sus toros siempre engendran; sus vacas paren sin perder las crías.
10 Their bulls breed without fail. Their cows calve, and don’t miscarry.
11 Dejan salir a sus pequeños como un rebaño y sus hijos disfrutan del baile.
11 They send out their little ones like a flock. Their children dance.
12 Cantan al son de los instrumentos y se alegran con la música de la flauta.
12 They sing to the tambourine and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the pipe.
13 Sus días transcurren sin problemas y de pronto bajan al lugar de los muertos.
13 They spend their days in prosperity. In an instant they go down to Sheol.
14 Y eso que le dicen a Dios: «Aléjate de nosotros; no queremos conocer tus caminos.
14 They tell God, ‘Depart from us, for we don’t want to know about your ways.
15 ¿Quién es el Todopoderoso para que lo adoremos? ¿Qué ganamos con orarle?».
15 What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? What profit should we have, if we pray to him?’
16 ¿Acaso no está su bienestar en sus propias manos? ¡Pero los planes de los malvados están lejos de mí!
16 Behold, their prosperity is not in their hand. The counsel of the wicked is far from me.
17 ¿Cuántas veces se apaga la luz de los malvados? ¿Cuántas veces les llega la desgracia o los atrapa Dios en su ira?
17 “How often is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out, that their calamity comes on them, that God distributes sorrows in his anger?
18 ¿Cuántas veces son como paja ante el viento, como hierba que se lleva la tormenta?
18 How often is it that they are as stubble before the wind, as chaff that the storm carries away?
19 Ustedes dicen: «Dios guarda el castigo para sus hijos». ¡Que castigue al hombre mismo, para que lo sienta!
19 You say, ‘God lays up his iniquity for his children.’ Let him recompense it to himself, that he may know it.
20 ¡Que vea su propia desgracia y beba la ira del Todopoderoso!
20 Let his own eyes see his destruction. Let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
21 ¿Qué le importa lo que ocurra con su familia después de él, cuando termine su vida?
21 For what does he care for his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off?
22 ¿Puede alguien enseñar a Dios, que juzga aun a los que están en lo alto?
22 “Shall any teach God knowledge, since he judges those who are high?
23 Uno muere en pleno bienestar, tranquilo y en paz.
23 One dies in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.
24 Sus recipientes están llenos de leche y sus huesos conservan toda su fuerza.
24 His pails are full of milk. The marrow of his bones is moistened.
25 Otro muere lleno de amargura, sin haber disfrutado jamás del bien.
25 Another dies in bitterness of soul, and never tastes of good.
26 Ambos bajan al polvo y los cubren los gusanos.
26 They lie down alike in the dust. The worm covers them.
27 Conozco sus pensamientos y sus planes violentos contra mí.
27 “Behold, I know your thoughts, the plans with which you would wrong me.
28 Ustedes preguntan: «¿Dónde está la casa del gobernante? ¿Dónde está la tienda del malvado?».
28 For you say, ‘Where is the house of the prince? Where is the tent in which the wicked lived?’
29 ¿No han preguntado a los viajeros? ¿No han prestado atención a lo que han visto?
29 Haven’t you asked wayfaring men? Don’t you know their evidences,
30 El malvado queda a salvo en el día de la desgracia y escapa en el día de la ira.
30 that the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity, that they are led out to the day of wrath?
31 ¿Quién le reprocha su conducta en la cara? ¿Quién lo castiga por lo que hace?
31 Who will declare his way to his face? Who will repay him what he has done?
32 Lo llevan al sepulcro, donde permanece vigilante.
32 Yet he will be borne to the grave. Men will keep watch over the tomb.
33 La tierra del valle que cubre sus huesos le resulta dulce. Todos los hombres lo siguen, así como innumerables hombres fueron antes que él.
33 The clods of the valley will be sweet to him. All men will draw after him, as there were innumerable before him.
34 ¿Para qué intentan consolarme con palabras inútiles? ¡Sus respuestas no son más que engaño!
34 So how can you comfort me with nonsense, because in your answers there remains only falsehood?”
