1 Job respondió:
1 Then Job answered,
2 ¡Ojalá pudieran pesar mi angustia y poner mi sufrimiento en la balanza!
2 “Oh that my anguish were weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances!
3 Pesarían más que la arena de los mares. Por eso he hablado sin control.
3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas, therefore my words have been rash.
4 Las flechas del Todopoderoso se han clavado en mí y su veneno penetra en mi espíritu. Sus terrores se forman como un ejército contra mí.
4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me. My spirit drinks up their poison. The terrors of God set themselves in array against me.
5 ¿Rebuzna el asno salvaje cuando tiene pasto? ¿Muge el buey cuando tiene alimento?
5 Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass? Or does the ox low over his fodder?
6 ¿Se come sin sal lo que no tiene sabor? ¿Tiene algún sabor el jugo de la verdolaga?
6 Can that which has no flavor be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
7 No quiero probar esas cosas; esa comida me produce asco.
7 My soul refuses to touch them. They are as loathsome food to me.
8 ¡Ojalá Dios respondiera a mi oración y me concediera lo que deseo!
8 “Oh that I might have my request, that God would grant the thing that I long for,
9 ¡Ojalá quisiera acabar conmigo, soltara su mano y me quitara la vida!
9 even that it would please God to crush me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
10 Todavía tendría este consuelo y me alegraría aun entre los dolores de la muerte: no he sido infiel a las palabras del Santo.
10 Let it still be my consolation, yes, let me exult in pain that doesn’t spare, that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
11 ¿Me quedan fuerzas para seguir esperando? ¿Qué futuro tengo que esperar?
11 What is my strength, that I should wait? What is my end, that I should be patient?
12 ¿Tengo la fuerza de las piedras? ¿Está mi cuerpo hecho de bronce?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh of bronze?
13 No tengo cómo ayudarme y he perdido toda mi sabiduría.
13 Isn’t it that I have no help in me, that wisdom is driven away from me?
14 El que le cierra el corazón a su amigo abandona el temor del Todopoderoso.
14 “To him who is ready to faint, kindness should be shown from his friend; even to him who forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
15 Mis amigos me han fallado como un arroyo, como las corrientes de los valles que se secan.
15 My brothers have dealt deceitfully as a brook, as the channel of brooks that pass away;
16 Se oscurecen por el hielo y por la nieve que cae en ellas,
16 which are black by reason of the ice, in which the snow hides itself.
17 pero desaparecen bajo el sol ardiente y el calor las seca.
17 In the dry season, they vanish. When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
18 Las caravanas de camellos se desvían de su camino; se internan en el desierto y perecen.
18 The caravans that travel beside them turn away. They go up into the waste, and perish.
19 Las caravanas de Tema buscan esos arroyos y los grupos de Seba esperan encontrarlos.
19 The caravans of Tema looked. The companies of Sheba waited for them.
20 Quedan decepcionados porque habían confiado en ellos; al llegar, pierden toda esperanza.
20 They were distressed because they were confident. They came there, and were confounded.
21 Así se han vuelto ustedes para mí: ven mi desgracia y se llenan de miedo.
21 For now you are nothing. You see a terror, and are afraid.
22 ¿Les he pedido que me den algo o que paguen por mí con sus riquezas?
22 Did I ever say, ‘Give to me’? or, ‘Offer a present for me from your substance’?
23 ¿Les he pedido que me libren del poder de mi enemigo o que paguen mi rescate de manos de los crueles?
23 or, ‘Deliver me from the adversary’s hand’? or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors’?
24 Enséñenme y guardaré silencio; muéstrenme en qué me he equivocado.
24 “Teach me, and I will hold my peace. Cause me to understand my error.
25 ¡Qué agradables son las palabras sinceras! Pero ¿qué fuerza tienen sus argumentos?
25 How forcible are words of uprightness! But your reproof, what does it reprove?
26 Mis palabras pueden parecerles equivocadas, pero las palabras del desesperado se las lleva el viento.
26 Do you intend to reprove words, since the speeches of one who is desperate are as wind?
27 Ustedes serían capaces de entregar un huérfano a sus acreedores y de sacar provecho de su propio amigo.
27 Yes, you would even cast lots for the fatherless, and make merchandise of your friend.
28 Ahora mírenme: no les mentiré en la cara.
28 Now therefore be pleased to look at me, for surely I will not lie to your face.
29 Cambien de opinión y no piensen mal de mí. Sí, cambien, porque sigo siendo justo.
29 Please return. Let there be no injustice. Yes, return again. My cause is righteous.
30 ¿He dicho algo malo? ¿Acaso no comprendo la causa de mi sufrimiento?
30 Is there injustice on my tongue? Can’t my taste discern mischievous things?
