1 Elifaz el temanita respondió:
1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
2 ¿Puede un hombre serle útil a Dios? No; su sabiduría solo le sirve a él mismo.
2 “Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.
3 ¿Le importa al Todopoderoso que seas justo? ¿Gana algo con que tu conducta esté libre de pecado?
3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous? Or does it benefit him that you make your ways perfect?
4 ¿Acaso te castiga y te juzga porque lo honras?
4 Is it for your piety that he reproves you, that he enters with you into judgment?
5 ¿No es grande tu maldad? ¡Tus pecados no tienen fin!
5 Isn’t your wickedness great? Neither is there any end to your iniquities.
6 Has tomado los bienes de tu hermano sin que te debiera nada y has quitado la ropa a quienes la necesitan.
6 For you have taken pledges from your brother for nothing, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
7 No das agua al viajero cansado y le niegas pan al hambriento.
7 You haven’t given water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.
8 La tierra era del poderoso y en ella vivía el hombre de buena reputación.
8 But as for the mighty man, he had the earth. The honorable man, he lived in it.
9 Has despedido a las viudas sin escuchar su causa y has quitado su apoyo al huérfano.
9 You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
10 Por eso hay trampas alrededor de tus pies y te invade un terror repentino.
10 Therefore snares are around you. Sudden fear troubles you,
11 Tu luz se vuelve oscuridad y no puedes ver; un torrente de agua te cubre.
11 or darkness, so that you can not see, and floods of waters cover you.
12 ¿No está Dios en lo alto del cielo? ¡Mira lo altas que están las estrellas!
12 “Isn’t God in the heights of heaven? See the height of the stars, how high they are!
13 Tú dices: «¿Qué sabe Dios? ¿Puede juzgar a través de la oscuridad espesa?
13 You say, ‘What does God know? Can he judge through the thick darkness?
14 Las nubes lo cubren y le impiden ver; él camina por la bóveda del cielo».
14 Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he doesn’t see. He walks on the vault of the sky.’
15 ¿Vas a seguir el antiguo camino que recorrieron los malvados,
15 Will you keep the old way, which wicked men have trodden,
16 los que fueron arrebatados antes de tiempo y arrastrados por un torrente de agua?
16 who were snatched away before their time, whose foundation was poured out as a stream,
17 Le decían a Dios: «Aléjate de nosotros. ¿Qué puede hacernos el Todopoderoso?».
17 who said to God, ‘Depart from us!’ and, ‘What can the Almighty do for us?’
18 Sin embargo, él llenaba sus casas de cosas buenas. ¡Pero los planes de los malvados están lejos de mí!
18 Yet he filled their houses with good things, but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
19 Los justos vieron su caída y se alegraron; los inocentes se burlaron de ellos,
19 The righteous see it, and are glad. The innocent ridicule them,
20 diciendo: «Sus bienes han desaparecido y el fuego consume sus riquezas».
20 saying, ‘Surely those who rose up against us are cut off. The fire has consumed their remnant.’
21 Ponte en buena relación con Dios y vive en paz; así te irá bien en lo que emprendas.
21 “Acquaint yourself with him now, and be at peace. By it, good will come to you.
22 Acepta su enseñanza y guarda sus palabras en tu corazón.
22 Please receive instruction from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart.
23 Si vuelves al Todopoderoso y te humillas ante él, si alejas la maldad de tus tiendas,
23 If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up, if you put away unrighteousness far from your tents.
24 si pones tu oro en el polvo, el oro de Ofir entre las piedras de los valles,
24 Lay your treasure in the dust, the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks.
25 entonces el Todopoderoso será tu oro y su enseñanza será tu plata.
25 The Almighty will be your treasure, and precious silver to you.
26 Te deleitarás en el Todopoderoso y levantarás el rostro hacia Dios.
26 For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, and will lift up your face to God.
27 Le orarás y él te responderá; cumplirás tus juramentos.
27 You will make your prayer to him, and he will hear you. You will pay your vows.
28 Tus planes se realizarán y la luz brillará en tus caminos.
28 You will also decree a thing, and it will be established to you. Light will shine on your ways.
29 Dios humilla a los orgullosos, pero salva a los humildes de espíritu.
29 When they cast down, you will say, ‘be lifted up.’ He will save the humble person.
30 Protege al que está libre de pecado, y si tus manos están limpias, te salvará.
30 He will even deliver him who is not innocent. Yes, he will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”
