RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Then Eliphaz the Themanite responded by saying:
1 Y RESPONDIÓ Eliphaz Temanita, y dijo:
1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
2 Can man be compared with God, even if he were perfect in knowledge?
2 ¿Traerá el hombre provecho á Dios, porque el sabio sea provechoso á sí mismo?
2 “Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.
3 What advantage is it to God, if you were just? Or what do you provide for him, if your way should be immaculate?
3 ¿Tiene su contentamiento el Omnipotente en que tú seas justificado, ó provecho de que tú hagas perfectos tus caminos?
3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous? Or does it benefit him that you make your ways perfect?
4 Will he reprove you and take you to judgment for being afraid,
4 ¿Castigaráte acaso, ó vendrá contigo á juicio porque te teme?
4 Is it for your piety that he reproves you, that he enters with you into judgment?
5 and not because of your many evil deeds and your infinite unfairness?
5 Por cierto tu malicia es grande, y tus maldades no tienen fin.
5 Isn’t your wickedness great? Neither is there any end to your iniquities.
6 For you have taken away the collateral of your brothers without cause, and stripped them naked of their clothing.
6 Porque sacaste prenda á tus hermanos sin causa, é hiciste desnudar las ropas de los desnudos.
6 For you have taken pledges from your brother for nothing, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
7 You have not given water to the weary; you have taken bread away from the hungry.
7 No diste de beber agua al cansado, y detuviste el pan al hambriento.
7 You haven’t given water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.
8 By the strength of your arm, you took possession of the land, and you retain it by being the strongest.
8 Empero el hombre pudiente tuvo la tierra; y habitó en ella el distinguido.
8 But as for the mighty man, he had the earth. The honorable man, he lived in it.
9 You have sent widows away empty, and you have crushed the shoulders of orphans.
9 Las viudas enviaste vacías, y los brazos de los huérfanos fueron quebrados.
9 You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
10 Because of this, you are surrounded by traps, and unexpected fears will disturb you.
10 Por tanto hay lazos alrededor de ti, y te turba espanto repentino;
10 Therefore snares are around you. Sudden fear troubles you,
11 And did you think that you would not see darkness and that you were not to be overwhelmed by the onrush of overflowing waters?
11 O tinieblas, porque no veas; y abundancia de agua te cubre.
11 or darkness, so that you can not see, and floods of waters cover you.
12 Have you not considered that God is higher than the heavens and is lifted above the height of the stars?
12 ¿No está Dios en la altura de los cielos? Mira lo encumbrado de las estrellas, cuán elevadas están.
12 “Isn’t God in the heights of heaven? See the height of the stars, how high they are!
13 And you say: “Well, what does God know?” and, “He judges, as if through a fog,”
13 ¿Y dirás tú: Qué sabe Dios? ¿cómo juzgará por medio de la oscuridad?
13 You say, ‘What does God know? Can he judge through the thick darkness?
14 and, “The clouds are his hiding-place,” and, “He does not examine us closely,” and, “He makes his rounds at the limits of the heavens.”
14 Las nubes son su escondedero, y no ve; y por el circuito del cielo se pasea.
14 Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he doesn’t see. He walks on the vault of the sky.’
15 Do you not want to tend the path of the ages, which wicked men have spurned?
15 ¿Quieres tú guardar la senda antigua, que pisaron los hombres perversos?
15 Will you keep the old way, which wicked men have trodden,
16 These were taken away before their time, and a flood overthrew their foundation.
16 Los cuales fueron cortados antes de tiempo, cuyo fundamento fué como un río derramado:
16 who were snatched away before their time, whose foundation was poured out as a stream,
17 They said to God, “Withdraw from us,” and they treated the Almighty as if he could do nothing,
17 Que decían á Dios: Apártate de nosotros. ¿Y qué les había hecho el Omnipotente?
17 who said to God, ‘Depart from us!’ and, ‘What can the Almighty do for us?’
18 though he had filled their houses with good things. May their way of thinking be far from me.
18 Habíales él henchido sus casas de bienes. Sea empero el consejo de ellos lejos de mí.
18 Yet he filled their houses with good things, but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
19 The just will see and will rejoice, and the innocent will mock them.
19 Verán los justos y se gozarán; y el inocente los escarnecerá, [diciendo]:
19 The righteous see it, and are glad. The innocent ridicule them,
20 Has not their haughtiness been cut down, and has not fire devoured the remnants of them?
20 Fué cortada nuestra sustancia, habiendo consumido el fuego el resto de ellos.
20 saying, ‘Surely those who rose up against us are cut off. The fire has consumed their remnant.’
21 So, repose yourself with him and be at peace, and, in this way, you will have the best fruits.
21 Amístate ahora con él, y tendrás paz; y por ello te vendrá bien.
21 “Acquaint yourself with him now, and be at peace. By it, good will come to you.
22 Accept the law from his mouth, and place his words in your heart.
22 Toma ahora la ley de su boca, y pon sus palabras en tu corazón.
22 Please receive instruction from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart.
23 If you will return to the Almighty, you will be rebuilt, and you will put sinfulness far from your tabernacle.
23 Si te tornares al Omnipotente, serás edificado; alejarás de tu tienda la aflicción;
23 If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up, if you put away unrighteousness far from your tents.
24 He will give you stone in place of dirt, and torrents of gold in place of stone.
24 Y tendrás más oro que tierra, y como piedras de arroyos oro de Ophir;
24 Lay your treasure in the dust, the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks.
25 And the Almighty will be against your enemies, and silver will be gathered together for you.
25 Y el Todopoderoso será tu defensa, y tendrás plata á montones.
25 The Almighty will be your treasure, and precious silver to you.
26 Then will you flock together in delight over the Almighty, and you will lift up your face to God.
26 Porque entonces te deleitarás en el Omnipotente, y alzarás á Dios tu rostro.
26 For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, and will lift up your face to God.
27 You will plead with him, and he will listen to you, and you will pay your vows.
27 Orarás á él, y él te oirá; y tú pagarás tus votos.
27 You will make your prayer to him, and he will hear you. You will pay your vows.
28 You will decide on something, and it will come to you, and the light will shine in your ways.
28 Determinarás asimismo una cosa, y serte ha firme; y sobre tus caminos resplandecerá luz.
28 You will also decree a thing, and it will be established to you. Light will shine on your ways.
29 For he who had been humbled, will be in glory; and he who will lower his eyes, will be the one saved.
29 Cuando fueren abatidos, dirás tú: Ensalzamiento [habrá]: y [Dios] salvará al humilde de ojos.
29 When they cast down, you will say, ‘be lifted up.’ He will save the humble person.
30 The innocent will be saved, and he will be saved with purity in his hands.
30 El libertará la isla del inocente; y por la limpieza de tus manos será librada.
30 He will even deliver him who is not innocent. Yes, he will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”
