1 But Zophar the Naamathite, responding, said:
1 Y RESPONDIÓ Sophar Naamathita, y dijo:
2 Will he who speaks much, not also listen? Or will a talkative man be justified?
2 ¿Las muchas palabras no han de tener respuesta? ¿y el hombre parlero será justificado?
3 Will men be silent only for you? And when you have mocked others, will no one refute you?
3 ¿Harán tus falacias callar á los hombres? ¿y harás escarnio, y no habrá quien te avergüence?
4 For you said: “My word is pure, and I am clean in your sight.”
4 Tú dices: Mi conversar es puro, y yo soy limpio delante de tus ojos.
5 Yet I wish that God would speak with you, and would open his lips to you,
5 Mas ¡oh quién diera que Dios hablara, y abriera sus labios contigo,
6 so that he might reveal to you the secrets of wisdom, and how intricate his law is, and that you would understand how much less he requires of you than your iniquity deserves.
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 By chance, will you comprehend the footsteps of God and reach all the way to the perfection of the Almighty?
7 ¿Alcanzarás tú el rastro de Dios? ¿llegarás tú á la perfección del Todopoderoso?
8 He is higher than heaven, and what will you do? He is deeper than hell, but how will you know?
8 Es más alto que los cielos: ¿qué harás? Es más profundo que el infierno: ¿cómo lo conocerás?
9 His measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea.
9 Su dimensión es más larga que la tierra, y más ancha que la mar.
10 If he overturns all things, or packs them together, who will contradict him?
10 Si cortare, ó encerrare, ó juntare, ¿quién podrá contrarrestarle?
11 For he knows the vanity of men, and when he sees iniquity, does he not evaluate it?
11 Porque él conoce á los hombres vanos: ve asimismo la iniquidad, ¿y no hará caso?
12 A vain man is lifted up in arrogance, and he thinks that he is born free like a wild ass’s colt.
12 El hombre vano se hará entendido, aunque nazca como el pollino del asno montés.
13 But you have fortified your heart and extended your hands to him.
13 Si tú apercibieres tu corazón, y extendieres á él tus manos;
14 If you would send away from you the iniquity that is in your hand, and not let injustice remain in your tabernacle,
14 Si alguna iniquidad hubiere en tu mano, y la echares de ti, y no consintieres que more maldad en tus habitaciones;
15 then you would be able to lift up your face without blemish, and you would be steadfast and unafraid.
15 Entonces levantarás tu rostro limpio de mancha, y serás fuerte y no temerás:
16 Misery, likewise, you would forget, or would remember only like waters that have passed by.
16 Y olvidarás tu trabajo, ó te acordarás de él como de aguas que pasaron:
17 And brightness, like that of midday, will rise upon you until evening, and when you would think yourself consumed, you will rise up like the morning star.
17 Y en mitad de la siesta se levantará bonanza; resplandecerás, y serás como la mañana:
18 And, when hope has been set before you, you will have faith, and, when buried, you will sleep secure.
18 Y confiarás, que habrá esperanza; y cavarás, y dormirás seguro:
19 You will rest, and there will be nothing to make you afraid, and many will make requests before your face.
19 Y te acostarás, y no habrá quien te espante: y muchos te rogarán.
20 But the eyes of the impious will fade away, and the path to escape will perish before them, for the abomination of the soul is their hope.
20 Mas los ojos de los malos se consumirán, y no tendrán refugio; y su esperanza será agonía del alma.
