1 Job volvió a tomar la palabra y dijo:
1 Job again took up his parable, and said,
2 ¡Ojalá pudiera volver a los meses pasados, a los días en que Dios me cuidaba!
2 “Oh that I were as in the months of old, as in the days when God watched over me;
3 Su luz brillaba sobre mi cabeza y con ella caminaba por la oscuridad.
3 when his lamp shone on my head, and by his light I walked through darkness,
4 ¡Ojalá volviera a mis mejores años, cuando la mano de Dios protegía mi tienda,
4 as I was in my prime, when the friendship of God was in my tent,
5 cuando el Todopoderoso aún estaba conmigo y mis hijos me rodeaban!
5 when the Almighty was yet with me, and my children were around me,
6 Mis pasos se bañaban en leche y de la roca brotaban para mí ríos de aceite.
6 when my steps were washed with butter, and the rock poured out streams of oil for me,
7 Cuando salía de mi casa para ir a la ciudad y tomaba asiento en la plaza,
7 when I went out to the city gate, when I prepared my seat in the street.
8 los jóvenes me veían y se retiraban; los ancianos se levantaban de sus asientos.
8 The young men saw me and hid themselves. The aged rose up and stood.
9 Los gobernantes guardaban silencio y se ponían la mano sobre la boca.
9 The princes refrained from talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
10 Los jefes callaban; la lengua se les pegaba al paladar.
10 The voice of the nobles was hushed, and their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.
11 Quienes me oían me llamaban dichoso y quienes me veían daban testimonio a mi favor.
11 For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me, and when the eye saw me, it commended me,
12 Porque yo rescataba al pobre que pedía ayuda, al huérfano y al que no tenía quién lo defendiera.
12 because I delivered the poor who cried, and the fatherless also, who had no one to help him,
13 El que estaba a punto de perecer me bendecía y yo llenaba de cantos de alegría el corazón de la viuda.
13 the blessing of him who was ready to perish came on me, and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
14 Me vestía de justicia y estaba lleno de ella; las decisiones justas eran mi manto y mi turbante.
14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me. My justice was as a robe and a diadem.
15 Yo era ojos para el ciego y pies para el que no podía caminar.
15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame.
16 Era un padre para los pobres y examinaba la causa del desconocido.
16 I was a father to the needy. I researched the cause of him whom I didn’t know.
17 Quebraba los grandes dientes del malvado y lo obligaba a devolver lo que había tomado por la fuerza.
17 I broke the jaws of the unrighteous and plucked the prey out of his teeth.
18 Pensaba: «Moriré rodeado de mis hijos y mis días serán tan numerosos como la arena.
18 Then I said, ‘I will die in my own house, I will count my days as the sand.
19 Mis raíces alcanzarán el agua y el rocío de la noche descansará sobre mis ramas.
19 My root is spread out to the waters. The dew lies all night on my branch.
20 Mi gloria será siempre nueva y podré tensar fácilmente el arco en mi mano».
20 My glory is fresh in me. My bow is renewed in my hand.’
21 Los hombres me escuchaban, esperaban y guardaban silencio para oír mis consejos.
21 “Men listened to me, waited, and kept silence for my counsel.
22 Después de que yo hablaba, callaban y dejaban que mis palabras penetraran en su corazón.
22 After my words they didn’t speak again. My speech fell on them.
23 Me esperaban como a la lluvia y abrían la boca como para recibir las lluvias de primavera.
23 They waited for me as for the rain. Their mouths drank as with the spring rain.
24 Les sonreía cuando no tenían esperanza y su miedo no apagaba la luz de mi rostro.
24 I smiled on them when they had no confidence. They didn’t reject the light of my face.
25 Los guiaba y ocupaba el lugar de jefe; vivía como un rey entre su ejército, como quien consuela a los que lloran.
25 I chose out their way, and sat as chief. I lived as a king in the army, as one who comforts the mourners.
