RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 But now, those younger in years scorn me, whose fathers I would not have seen fit to place with the dogs of my flock,

1 MAS ahora los más mozos de días que yo, se ríen de mí; cuyos padres yo desdeñara ponerlos con los perros de mi ganado.

2 the strength of whose hands was nothing to me, and they were considered unworthy of life itself.

2 Porque ¿para qué yo habría menester la fuerza de sus manos, en los cuales había perecido con el tiempo?

3 They were barren from poverty and hunger; they gnawed in solitude, layered with misfortune and misery.

3 Por causa de la pobreza y del hambre [andaban] solos; huían á la soledad, á lugar tenebroso, asolado y desierto.

4 And they chewed grass and the bark from trees, and the root of junipers was their food.

4 Que cogían malvas entre los arbustos, y raíces de enebro para calentarse.

5 They took these things from the steep valleys, and when they discovered one of these things, they rushed to the others with a cry.

5 Eran echados de entre [las gentes], y todos les daban grita como al ladrón.

6 They lived in the parched desert and in caves underground or above the rocks.

6 Habitaban en las barrancas de los arroyos, en las cavernas de la tierra, y en las rocas.

7 They rejoiced among these kinds of things, and they considered it delightful to be under thorns.

7 Bramaban entre las matas, y se reunían debajo de las espinas.

8 These are the sons of foolish and base men, not even paying any attention to the land.

8 Hijos de viles, y hombres sin nombre, más bajos que la misma tierra.

9 Now I become their song, and I have been made into their proverb.

9 Y ahora yo soy su canción, y he sido hecho su refrán.

10 They loathe me, and so they flee far from me, and they are not reluctant to spit in my face.

10 Abomínanme, aléjanse de mí, y aun de mi rostro no detuvieron su saliva.

11 For he has opened his quiver and has afflicted me, and he has placed a bridle in my mouth.

11 Porque [Dios] desató mi cuerda, y me afligió, por eso se desenfrenaron delante de mi rostro.

12 Immediately, upon rising, my calamities rise up to the right. They have overturned my feet and have pressed me down along their way like waves.

12 A la mano derecha se levantaron los jóvenes; empujaron mis pies, y sentaron contra mí las vías de su ruina.

13 They have diverted my journeys; they have waited to ambush me, and they have prevailed, and there was no one who might bring help.

13 Mi senda desbarataron, aprovecháronse de mi quebrantamiento, contra los cuales no hubo ayudador.

14 They have rushed upon me, as when a wall is broken or a gate opened, and they have been pulled down into my miseries.

14 Vinieron como por portillo ancho, revolviéronse á [mi] calamidad.

15 I have been reduced to nothing. You have taken away my desire like a wind, and my health has passed by like a cloud.

15 Hanse revuelto turbaciones sobre mí; combatieron como viento mi alma, y mi salud pasó como nube.

16 But now my soul withers within myself, and the days of affliction take hold of me.

16 Y ahora mi alma está derramada en mí; días de aflicción me han aprehendido.

17 At night, my bone is pierced with sorrows, and those who feed on me, do not sleep.

17 De noche taladra sobre mí mis huesos, y mis pulsos no reposan.

18 By the sheer number of them my clothing is worn away, and they have closed in on me like the collar of my coat.

18 Con la grande copia [de materia] mi vestidura está demudada; cíñeme como el cuello de mi túnica.

19 I have been treated like dirt, and I have been turned into embers and ashes.

19 Derribóme en el lodo, y soy semejante al polvo y á la ceniza.

20 I cry to you, and you do not heed me. I stand up, and you do not look back at me.

20 Clamo á ti, y no me oyes; preséntome, y no me atiendes.

21 You have changed me into hardness, and, with the hardness of your hand, you oppose me.

21 Haste tornado cruel para mí: con la fortaleza de tu mano me amenazas.

22 You have lifted me up, and, placing me as if on the wind, you have thrown me down powerfully.

22 Levantásteme, é hicísteme cabalgar sobre el viento, y disolviste mi sustancia.

23 I know that you will hand me over to death, where a home has been established for all the living.

23 Porque yo conozco que me reduces á la muerte; y á la casa determinada á todo viviente.

24 Truly, then, you do not extend your hand in order to consume them, and if they fall down, you will save them.

24 Mas él no extenderá la mano contra el sepulcro; ¿clamarán [los sepultados] cuando él los quebrantare?

25 Once, I wept over him who was afflicted, and my soul had compassion on the poor.

25 ¿No lloré yo al afligido? Y mi alma ¿no se entristeció sobre el menesteroso?

26 I expected good things, but evil things have come to me. I stood ready for light, yet darkness burst forth.

26 Cuando esperaba yo el bien, entonces vino el mal; y cuando esperaba luz, la oscuridad vino.

27 My insides have seethed, without any rest, for the days of affliction have prevented it.

27 Mis entrañas hierven, y no reposan; días de aflicción me han sobrecogido.

28 I went forth mourning, without anger, and rising up, I cried out in confusion.

28 Denegrido ando, y no por el sol: levantádome he en la congregación, y clamado.

29 I was the brother of snakes, and the companion of ostriches.

29 He venido á ser hermano de los dragones, y compañero de los buhos.

30 My skin has become blackened over me, and my bones have dried up because of the heat.

30 Mi piel está denegrida sobre mí, y mis huesos se secaron con ardentía.

31 My harp has been turned into mourning, and my pipes have been turned into a voice of weeping.

31 Y hase tornado mi arpa en luto, y mi órgano en voz de lamentadores.
