Notes on this text (1)
- Same Septuagint text as Brenton, with modernised spelling.
1 But why have the seasons been hidden from the Lord,
1 PUESTO que no son ocultos los tiempos al Todopoderoso, ¿por qué los que le conocen no ven sus días?
2 While the ungodly have passed over the bound, Carrying off the flock with the shepherd?
2 Traspasan los términos, roban los ganados, y apaciéntanlos.
3 They have led away the ass of the fatherless, And taken the widow’s ox for a pledge.
3 Llévanse el asno de los huérfanos; prenden el buey de la viuda.
4 They have turned aside the weak from the right way: And the meek of the earth have hidden themselves together.
4 Hacen apartar del camino á los menesterosos: y todos los pobres de la tierra se esconden.
5 And they have departed like asses in the field, Having gone forth on my account according to their own order: His bread is sweet to [his] little ones.
5 He aquí, como asnos monteses en el desierto, salen á su obra madrugando para robar; el desierto es mantenimiento de sus hijos.
6 They have reaped a field that was not their own before the time: The poor have labored in the vineyards of the ungodly without pay and without food.
6 En el campo siegan su pasto, y los impíos vendimian la viña [ajena].
7 They have caused many naked to sleep without clothes, And they have taken away the covering of their body.
7 Al desnudo hacen dormir sin ropa, y que en el frío no tenga cobertura.
8 They are wet with the drops of the mountains: They have embraced the rock, because they had no shelter.
8 Con las avenidas de los montes se mojan, y abrazan las peñas sin tener abrigo.
9 They have snatched the fatherless from the breast, And have afflicted the outcast.
9 Quitan el pecho á los huérfanos, y de sobre el pobre toman la prenda.
10 And they have wrongfully caused [others] to sleep without clothing, And taken away the morsel of the hungry.
10 Al desnudo hacen andar sin vestido, y á los hambrientos quitan los hacecillos.
11 They have unrighteously laid wait in narrow places, And have not known the righteous way.
11 De dentro de sus paredes exprimen el aceite, pisan los lagares, y mueren de sed.
12 Who have cast forth [the] poor from the city and their own houses, And the soul of the children has groaned aloud.
12 De la ciudad gimen los hombres, y claman las almas de los heridos de muerte: mas Dios no puso estorbo.
13 Why then has he not visited these? Forasmuch as they were upon the earth, and took no notice, And they knew not the way of righteousness, Neither have they walked in their [appointed] paths?
13 Ellos son los que, rebeldes á la luz, nunca conocieron sus caminos, ni estuvieron en sus veredas.
14 But having known their works, he delivered them into darkness: And in the night one will be as a thief:
14 A la luz se levanta el matador, mata al pobre y al necesitado, y de noche es como ladrón.
15 And the eye of the adulterer has watched [for] the darkness, Saying, Eye shall not perceive me, and he puts a covering on his face.
15 El ojo del adúltero está aguardando la noche, diciendo: No me verá nadie: y esconde su rostro.
16 In darkness he digs through houses: By day they conceal themselves securely: They know not the light.
16 En las tinieblas minan las casas, que de día para sí señalaron; no conocen la luz.
17 For the morning is to them all [as] the shadow of death, For [each] will be conscious of the terror of the shadow of death.
17 Porque la mañana es á todos ellos como sombra de muerte; si son conocidos, terrores de sombra de muerte [los toman].
18 He is swift on the face of the water: Let his portion be cursed on the earth; And let their plants be laid bare.
18 Son instables más que la superficie de las aguas; su porción es maldita en la tierra; no andarán por el camino de las viñas.
19 [Let them be] withered upon the earth; For they have plundered the sheaves of the fatherless.
19 La sequía y el calor arrebatan las aguas de la nieve; y el sepulcro á los pecadores.
20 Then is his sin brought to remembrance, And he vanishes like a vapor of dew: But let what he has done be recompensed to him, And let every unrighteous one be crushed like rotten wood.
20 Olvidaráse de ellos el seno materno; de ellos sentirán los gusanos dulzura; nunca más habrá de ellos memoria, y como un árbol serán los impíos quebrantados.
21 For he has not treated the barren woman well, And has had no pity on a feeble woman.
21 A la mujer estéril que no paría, afligió; y á la viuda nunca hizo bien.
22 And in wrath he has overthrown the helpless: Therefore when he has arisen, [a man] will not feel secure of his own life.
22 Mas á los fuertes adelantó con su poder: levantóse, y no se da por segura la vida.
23 When he has fallen sick, let him not hope to recover: but let him perish by disease.
23 Le dieron á crédito, y se afirmó: sus ojos están sobre los caminos de ellos.
24 For his exaltation has hurt many; But he has withered as mallows in the heat, Or as an ear of corn falling off of itself from the stalk.
24 Fueron ensalzados por un poco, mas desaparecen, y son abatidos como cada cual: serán encerrados, y cortados como cabezas de espigas.
25 But if not, who is he that says I speak falsely, And will make my words of no account?
25 Y si no, ¿quién me desmentirá ahora, ó reducirá á nada mis palabras?
