Notes on this text (1)
- Same Septuagint text as Brenton, with modernised spelling.
1 Then Zophar the Minaean answered and said,
1 Y RESPONDIÓ Sophar Naamathita, y dijo:
2 He that speaks much, should also hear on the other side: Or does the fluent speaker think himself to be righteous? Blessed [is] the short-lived offspring of woman.
2 ¿Las muchas palabras no han de tener respuesta? ¿y el hombre parlero será justificado?
3 Be not a speaker of many words; For is there none to answer thee?
3 ¿Harán tus falacias callar á los hombres? ¿y harás escarnio, y no habrá quien te avergüence?
4 For say not, I am pure in my works, And blameless before him.
4 Tú dices: Mi conversar es puro, y yo soy limpio delante de tus ojos.
5 But oh that the Lord would speak to thee, And open his lips with thee!
5 Mas ¡oh quién diera que Dios hablara, y abriera sus labios contigo,
6 Then shall he declare to thee the power of wisdom; For it shall be double of that which is with thee: And then shalt thou know, that a just recompense of thy sins has come to thee from the Lord.
6 Y que te declarara los arcanos de la sabiduría, que [son] de doble [valor] que la hacienda! Conocerías entonces que Dios te ha castigado menos que tu iniquidad merece.
7 Wilt thou find out the traces of the Lord? Or hast thou come to the end [of that] which the Almighty has made?
7 ¿Alcanzarás tú el rastro de Dios? ¿llegarás tú á la perfección del Todopoderoso?
8 Heaven [is] high; and what wilt thou do? And there are deeper things than those in hell; what dost thou know?
8 Es más alto que los cielos: ¿qué harás? Es más profundo que el infierno: ¿cómo lo conocerás?
9 Or longer than the measure of the earth, Or the breadth of the sea.
9 Su dimensión es más larga que la tierra, y más ancha que la mar.
10 And if he should overthrow all things, who will say to him, What hast thou done?
10 Si cortare, ó encerrare, ó juntare, ¿quién podrá contrarrestarle?
11 For he knows the works of transgressors; And when he sees wickedness, he will not overlook [it].
11 Porque él conoce á los hombres vanos: ve asimismo la iniquidad, ¿y no hará caso?
12 But man vainly buoys himself up with words; And a mortal born of woman [is] like an ass of the desert.
12 El hombre vano se hará entendido, aunque nazca como el pollino del asno montés.
13 For if thou hast made thy heart pure, And liftest up [thine] hands toward him;
13 Si tú apercibieres tu corazón, y extendieres á él tus manos;
14 If there is any iniquity in thy hands, Put it far from thee, And let not unrighteousness lodge in thy habitation.
14 Si alguna iniquidad hubiere en tu mano, y la echares de ti, y no consintieres que more maldad en tus habitaciones;
15 For thus shall thy countenance shine again, as pure water; And thou shalt divest thyself of uncleanness, and shalt not fear.
15 Entonces levantarás tu rostro limpio de mancha, y serás fuerte y no temerás:
16 And thou shalt forget trouble, As a wave that has passed by; and thou shalt not be scared.
16 Y olvidarás tu trabajo, ó te acordarás de él como de aguas que pasaron:
17 And thy prayer [shall be] as the morning star, And life shall arise to thee [as] from the noonday.
17 Y en mitad de la siesta se levantará bonanza; resplandecerás, y serás como la mañana:
18 And thou shalt be confident, because thou hast hope; And peace shall dawn to thee from out of anxiety and care.
18 Y confiarás, que habrá esperanza; y cavarás, y dormirás seguro:
19 For thou shalt be at ease, and there shall be no one to fight against thee; And many shall charge, and make supplication to thee.
19 Y te acostarás, y no habrá quien te espante: y muchos te rogarán.
20 But safety shall fail them; For their hope is destruction, And the eyes of the ungodly shall waste away.
20 Mas los ojos de los malos se consumirán, y no tendrán refugio; y su esperanza será agonía del alma.
