Notes on this text (1)
- Same Septuagint text as Brenton, with modernised spelling.
1 I perish, carried away by the wind, And I seek for burial, and obtain [it] not.
1 MI ALIENTO está corrompido, acórtanse mis días, y me está aparejado el sepulcro.
2 Weary I entreat; and what have I done? And strangers have stolen my goods.
2 No hay conmigo sino escarnecedores, en cuya acrimonia se detienen mis ojos.
3 Who is this? let him join hands with me.
3 Pon ahora, dame fianza para [litigar] contigo: ¿quién tocará ahora mi mano?
4 For thou hast hidden their heart from wisdom; Therefore thou shalt not exalt them.
4 Porque [á éstos] has tú escondido su corazón de inteligencia: por tanto, no [los] ensalzarás.
5 He shall promise mischief to [his] companions: But [their] eyes have failed for [their] children.
5 El que denuncia lisonjas á sus prójimos, los ojos de sus hijos desfallezcan.
6 But thou hast made me a byword among the nations, And I am become a scorn to them.
6 El me ha puesto por parábola de pueblos, y delante [de ellos] he sido como tamboril.
7 For my eyes are dimmed through pain; I have been grievously beset by all.
7 Y mis ojos se oscurecieron de desabrimiento, y mis pensamientos todos son como sombra.
8 Wonder has seized true men upon this; And let the just rise up against the transgressor.
8 Los rectos se maravillarán de esto, y el inocente se levantará contra el hipócrita.
9 But let the faithful hold on his own way, And let him that is pure of hands take courage.
9 No obstante, proseguirá el justo su camino, y el limpio de manos aumentará la fuerza.
10 Howbeit, do ye all strengthen [yourselves] and come now, For I do not find truth in you.
10 Mas volved todos vosotros, y venid ahora, que no hallaré entre vosotros sabio.
11 My days have passed in groaning, And my heartstrings are broken.
11 Pasáronse mis días, fueron arrancados mis pensamientos, los designios de mi corazón.
12 I have turned the night into day: The light is short because of darkness.
12 Pusieron la noche por día, y la luz se acorta delante de las tinieblas.
13 For if I remain, Hades is my habitation: And my bed has been made in darkness.
13 Si yo espero, el sepulcro es mi casa: haré mi cama en las tinieblas.
14 I have called upon death to be my father, And corruption [to be] my mother and sister.
14 A la huesa tengo dicho: Mi padre eres tú; á los gusanos: Mi madre y mi hermana.
15 Where then is yet my hope? Or [where] shall I see my good?
15 ¿Dónde pues estará ahora mi esperanza? y mi esperanza ¿quién la verá?
16 Will they go down with me to Hades, Or shall we go down together to the tomb?
16 A los rincones de la huesa descenderán, y juntamente descansarán en el polvo.
