WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 A Maskil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my instruction; listen to the words of my mouth.
1 Masquil de Asaph. ESCUCHA, pueblo mío, mi ley: inclinad vuestro oído á las palabras de mi boca.
1 A contemplation by Asaph. Hear my teaching, my people. Turn your ears to the words of my mouth.
2 I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the beginning,
2 Abriré mi boca en parábola; hablaré cosas reservadas de antiguo:
2 I will open my mouth in a parable. I will utter dark sayings of old,
3 that we have heard and known and our fathers have relayed to us.
3 Las cuales hemos oído y entendido; que nuestros padres nos [las] contaron.
3 which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
4 We will not hide them from their children, but will declare to the next generation the praises of the LORD and His might, and the wonders He has performed.
4 No las encubriremos á sus hijos, contando á la generación venidera las alabanzas de Jehová, y su fortaleza, y sus maravillas que hizo.
4 We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of Yahweh, his strength, and his wondrous deeds that he has done.
5 For He established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers to teach to their children,
5 El estableció testimonio en Jacob, y pusó ley en Israel; la cual mandó á nuestros padres que la notificasen á sus hijos;
5 For he established a covenant in Jacob, and appointed a teaching in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children;
6 that the coming generation would know them— even children yet to be born— to arise and tell their own children
6 Para que [lo] sepa la generación venidera, y los hijos que nacerán; y [los que] se levantarán, [lo] cuenten á sus hijos;
6 that the generation to come might know, even the children who should be born; who should arise and tell their children,
7 that they should put their confidence in God, not forgetting His works, but keeping His commandments.
7 A fin de que pongan en Dios su confianza, y no se olviden de las obras de Dios, y guarden sus mandamientos:
7 that they might set their hope in God, and not forget God’s deeds, but keep his commandments,
8 Then they will not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose heart was not loyal, whose spirit was not faithful to God.
8 Y no sean como sus padres, generación contumaz y rebelde; generación que no apercibió su corazón, ni fué fiel para con Dios su espíritu.
8 and might not be as their fathers— a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that didn’t make their hearts loyal, whose spirit was not steadfast with God.
9 The archers of Ephraim turned back on the day of battle.
9 Los hijos de Ephraim armados, flecheros, volvieron [las espaldas] el día de la batalla.
9 The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
10 They failed to keep God’s covenant and refused to live by His law.
10 No guardaron el pacto de Dios, ni quisieron andar en su ley:
10 They didn’t keep God’s covenant, and refused to walk in his law.
11 They forgot what He had done, the wonders He had shown them.
11 Antes se olvidaron de sus obras, y de sus maravillas que les había mostrado.
11 They forgot his doings, his wondrous deeds that he had shown them.
12 He worked wonders before their fathers in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan.
12 Delante de sus padres hizo maravillas en la tierra de Egipto, en el campo de Zoán.
12 He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
13 He split the sea and brought them through; He set the waters upright like a wall.
13 Rompió la mar, é hízolos pasar; é hizo estar las aguas como en un montón.
13 He split the sea, and caused them to pass through. He made the waters stand as a heap.
14 He led them with a cloud by day and with a light of fire all night.
14 Y llevólos de día con nube, y toda la noche con resplandor de fuego.
14 In the daytime he also led them with a cloud, and all night with a light of fire.
15 He split the rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink as abundant as the seas.
15 Hendió las peñas en el desierto: y dióles á beber como de grandes abismos;
15 He split rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.
16 He brought streams from the stone and made water flow down like rivers.
16 Pues sacó de la peña corrientes, é hizo descender aguas como ríos.
16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
17 But they continued to sin against Him, rebelling in the desert against the Most High.
17 Empero aun tornaron á pecar contra él, enojando en la soledad al Altísimo.
17 Yet they still went on to sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.
18 They willfully tested God by demanding the food they craved.
18 Pues tentaron á Dios en su corazón, pidiendo comida á su gusto.
18 They tempted God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.
19 They spoke against God, saying, “Can God really prepare a table in the wilderness?
19 Y hablaron contra Dios, diciendo: ¿Podrá poner mesa en el desierto?
19 Yes, they spoke against God. They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
20 When He struck the rock, water gushed out and torrents raged. But can He also give bread or supply His people with meat?”
20 He aquí ha herido la peña, y corrieron aguas, y arroyos salieron ondeando: ¿podrá también dar pan? ¿aparejará carne á su pueblo?
20 Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide meat for his people?”
21 Therefore the LORD heard and was filled with wrath; so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and His anger flared against Israel,
21 Por tanto oyó Jehová, é indignóse: y encendióse el fuego contra Jacob, y el furor subió también contra Israel;
21 Therefore Yahweh heard, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, anger also went up against Israel,
22 because they did not believe God or rely on His salvation.
22 Por cuanto no habían creído á Dios, ni habían confiado en su salud:
22 because they didn’t believe in God, and didn’t trust in his salvation.
23 Yet He commanded the clouds above and opened the doors of the heavens.
23 A pesar de que mandó á las nubes de arriba, y abrió las puertas de los cielos,
23 Yet he commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven.
24 He rained down manna for them to eat; He gave them grain from heaven.
24 E hizo llover sobre ellos maná para comer, y dióles trigo de los cielos.
24 He rained down manna on them to eat, and gave them food from the sky.
25 Man ate the bread of angels; He sent them food in abundance.
25 Pan de nobles comió el hombre: envióles comida á hartura.
25 Man ate the bread of angels. He sent them food to the full.
26 He stirred the east wind from the heavens and drove the south wind by His might.
26 Movió el solano en el cielo, y trajo con su fortaleza el austro.
26 He caused the east wind to blow in the sky. By his power he guided the south wind.
27 He rained meat on them like dust, and winged birds like the sand of the sea.
27 E hizo llover sobre ellos carne como polvo, y aves de alas como arena de la mar.
27 He also rained meat on them as the dust, winged birds as the sand of the seas.
28 He felled them in the midst of their camp, all around their dwellings.
28 E hízolas caer en medio de su campo, alrededor de sus tiendas.
28 He let them fall in the middle of their camp, around their habitations.
29 So they ate and were well filled, for He gave them what they craved.
29 Y comieron, y hartáronse mucho: cumplióles pues su deseo.
29 So they ate, and were well filled. He gave them their own desire.
30 Yet before they had filled their desire, with the food still in their mouths,
30 No habían quitado de sí su deseo, aun estaba su vianda en su boca,
30 They didn’t turn from their cravings. Their food was yet in their mouths,
31 God’s anger flared against them, and He put to death their strongest and subdued the young men of Israel.
31 Cuando vino sobre ellos el furor de Dios, y mató los más robustos de ellos, y derribó los escogidos de Israel.
31 when the anger of God went up against them, killed some of their strongest, and struck down the young men of Israel.
32 In spite of all this, they kept on sinning; despite His wonderful works, they did not believe.
32 Con todo esto pecaron aún, y no dieron crédito á sus maravillas.
32 For all this they still sinned, and didn’t believe in his wondrous works.
33 So He ended their days in futility, and their years in sudden terror.
33 Consumió por tanto en nada sus días, y sus años en la tribulación.
33 Therefore he consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror.
34 When He slew them, they would seek Him; they repented and searched for God.
34 Si los mataba, entonces buscaban á Dios; entonces se volvían solícitos en busca suya.
34 When he killed them, then they inquired after him. They returned and sought God earnestly.
35 And they remembered that God was their Rock, that God Most High was their Redeemer.
35 Y acordábanse que Dios era su refugio, y el Dios Alto su redentor.
35 They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High God, their redeemer.
36 But they deceived Him with their mouths, and lied to Him with their tongues.
36 Mas le lisonjeaban con su boca, y con su lengua le mentían:
36 But they flattered him with their mouth, and lied to him with their tongue.
37 Their hearts were disloyal to Him, and they were unfaithful to His covenant.
37 Pues sus corazones no eran rectos con él, ni estuvieron firmes en su pacto.
37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they faithful in his covenant.
38 And yet He was compassionate; He forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them. He often restrained His anger and did not unleash His full wrath.
38 Empero él misericordioso, perdonaba la maldad, y no [los] destruía: y abundó para apartar su ira, y no despertó todo su enojo.
38 But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn’t destroy them. Yes, many times he turned his anger away, and didn’t stir up all his wrath.
39 He remembered that they were but flesh, a passing breeze that does not return.
39 Y acordóse que eran carne; soplo que va y no vuelve.
39 He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes away, and doesn’t come again.
40 How often they disobeyed Him in the wilderness and grieved Him in the desert!
40 ¡Cuántas veces lo ensañaron en el desierto, lo enojaron en la soledad!
40 How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, and grieved him in the desert!
41 Again and again they tested God and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
41 Y volvían, y tentaban á Dios, y ponían límite al Santo de Israel.
41 They turned again and tempted God, and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
42 They did not remember His power — the day He redeemed them from the adversary,
42 No se acordaron de su mano, del día que los redimió de angustia;
42 They didn’t remember his hand, nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;
43 when He performed His signs in Egypt and His wonders in the fields of Zoan.
43 Cuando puso en Egipto sus señales, y sus maravillas en el campo de Zoán;
43 how he set his signs in Egypt, his wonders in the field of Zoan,
44 He turned their rivers to blood, and from their streams they could not drink.
44 Y volvió sus ríos en sangre, y sus corrientes, porque no bebiesen.
44 he turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, so that they could not drink.
45 He sent swarms of flies that devoured them, and frogs that devastated them.

46 Dió también al pulgón sus frutos, y sus trabajos á la langosta.
46 He also gave their increase to the caterpillar, and their labor to the locust.
47 He killed their vines with hailstones and their sycamore-figs with sleet.

47 He destroyed their vines with hail, their sycamore fig trees with frost.
48 He abandoned their cattle to the hail and their livestock to bolts of lightning.
48 Y entregó al pedrisco sus bestias, y al fuego sus ganados.
48 He also gave over their livestock to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
49 He unleashed His fury against them, wrath, indignation, and calamity— a band of destroying angels.

49 He threw on them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, indignation, and trouble, and a band of angels of evil.
50 He cleared a path for His anger; He did not spare them from death but delivered their lives to the plague.
50 Dispuso el camino á su furor; no eximió la vida de ellos de la muerte, sino que entregó su vida á la mortandad.
50 He made a path for his anger. He didn’t spare their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence,

53 He led them safely, so that they weren’t afraid, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
54 He brought them to His holy land, to the mountain His right hand had acquired.
54 Metiólos después en los términos de su santuario, en este monte que ganó su mano derecha.
54 He brought them to the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain, which his right hand had taken.

55 He also drove out the nations before them, allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
56 But they tested and disobeyed God Most High, for they did not keep His decrees.
56 Mas tentaron y enojaron al Dios Altísimo, y no guardaron sus testimonios;
56 Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, and didn’t keep his testimonies,
57 They turned back and were faithless like their fathers, twisted like a faulty bow.
57 Sino que se volvieron, y se rebelaron como sus padres: volviéronse como arco engañoso.

60 He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent He had pitched among men.
60 Dejó por tanto el tabernáculo de Silo, la tienda [en que] habitó entre los hombres;
