WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 And Job further continued and said in his parable,

1 Y REASUMIÓ Job su discurso, y dijo:

1 Job again took up his parable, and said,

2 [As] God lives, who has thus judged me; and the Almighty, who has embittered my soul;

2 Vive Dios, el cual ha apartado mi causa, y el Omnipotente, que amargó el alma mía,

2 “As God lives, who has taken away my right, the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter

3 verily, while my breath is yet in [me], and the breath of God which remains to me is in my nostrils,

3 Que todo el tiempo que mi alma estuviere en mí, y [hubiere] hálito de Dios en mis narices,

3 (for the length of my life is still in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils);

4 my lips shall not speak evil words, neither shall my soul meditate unrighteous thoughts.

4 Mis labios no hablarán iniquidad, ni mi lengua pronunciará engaño.

4 surely my lips will not speak unrighteousness, neither will my tongue utter deceit.

5 Far be it from me that I should justify you till I die; for I will not let go my innocence,

5 Nunca tal acontezca que yo os justifique: hasta morir no quitaré de mí mi integridad.

5 Far be it from me that I should justify you. Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.

6 but keeping fast to [my] righteousness I will by no means let it go: for I am not conscious to myself of having done any thing amiss.

6 Mi justicia tengo asida, y no la cederé: no [me] reprochará mi corazón en el tiempo de mi vida.

6 I hold fast to my righteousness, and will not let it go. My heart will not reproach me so long as I live.

7 Nay rather, but let mine enemies be as the overthrow of the ungodly, and they that rise up against me, as the destruction of transgressors.

7 Sea como el impío mi enemigo, y como el inicuo mi adversario.

7 “Let my enemy be as the wicked. Let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.

8 For what is the hope of the ungodly, that he holds to it? will he indeed trust in the Lord [and] be saved?

8 Porque ¿cuál es la esperanza del hipócrita, por mucho que hubiere robado, cuando Dios arrebatare su alma?

8 For what is the hope of the godless, when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?

9 Will God hear his prayer? or, when distress has come upon him,

9 ¿Oirá Dios su clamor cuando la tribulación sobre él viniere?

9 Will God hear his cry when trouble comes on him?

10 has he any confidence before him? or will [God] hear him as he calls upon him?

10 ¿Deleitaráse en el Omnipotente? ¿invocará á Dios en todo tiempo?

10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call on God at all times?

11 Yet now I will tell you what is in the hand of the Lord: I will not lie concerning the things which are with the Almighty.

11 Yo os enseñaré en orden á la mano de Dios: no esconderé lo que hay para con el Omnipotente.

11 I will teach you about the hand of God. I will not conceal that which is with the Almighty.

12 Behold, ye all know that ye are adding vanity to vanity.

12 He aquí que todos vosotros lo habéis visto: ¿por qué pues os desvanecéis con fantasía?

12 Behold, all of you have seen it yourselves; why then have you become altogether vain?

13 This is the portion of an ungodly man from the Lord, and the possession of oppressors shall come upon them from the Almighty.

13 Esta es para con Dios la suerte del hombre impío, y la herencia que los violentos han de recibir del Omnipotente.

13 “This is the portion of a wicked man with God, the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.

14 And if their children be many, they shall be for slaughter: and if they grow up, they shall beg.

14 Si sus hijos fueren multiplicados, serán para el cuchillo; y sus pequeños no se hartarán de pan;

14 If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword. His offspring will not be satisfied with bread.

15 And they that survive of him shall utterly perish, and no one shall pity their widows.

15 Los que le quedaren, en muerte serán sepultados; y no llorarán sus viudas.

15 Those who remain of him will be buried in death. His widows will make no lamentation.

16 Even if he should gather silver as earth, and prepare gold as clay;

16 Si amontonare plata como polvo, y si preparare ropa como lodo;

16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay;

17 all these things shall the righteous gain, and the truehearted shall possess his wealth.

17 Habrála él preparado, mas el justo se vestirá, y el inocente repartirá la plata.

17 he may prepare it, but the just will put it on, and the innocent will divide the silver.

18 And his house is gone like moths, and like a spider's web.

18 Edificó su casa como la polilla, y cual cabaña que el guarda hizo.

18 He builds his house as the moth, as a booth which the watchman makes.

19 The rich man shall lie down, and shall not continue: he has opened his eyes, and he is not.

19 El rico dormirá, mas no será recogido: abrirá sus ojos, mas él no será.

19 He lies down rich, but he will not do so again. He opens his eyes, and he is not.

20 Pains have come upon him as water, and darkness has carried him away by night.

20 Asirán de él terrores como aguas: torbellino lo arrebatará de noche.

20 Terrors overtake him like waters. A storm steals him away in the night.

21 And a burning wind shall catch him, and he shall depart, and it shall utterly drive him out of his place.

21 Lo antecogerá el solano, y partirá; y tempestad lo arrebatará del lugar suyo.

21 The east wind carries him away, and he departs. It sweeps him out of his place.

22 And [God] shall cast [trouble] upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.

22 [Dios] pues descargará sobre él, y no perdonará: hará él por huir de su mano.

22 For it hurls at him, and does not spare, as he flees away from his hand.

23 He shall cause [men] to clap their hands against them, and shall hiss him out of his place.

23 Batirán sus manos sobre él, y desde su lugar le silbarán.

23 Men will clap their hands at him, and will hiss him out of his place.
