CPDV Catholic Public Domain Version
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Therefore, hear my speeches, Job, and listen to all my words.
1 POR tanto, Job, oye ahora mis razones, y escucha todas mis palabras.
2 Behold, I have opened my mouth; let my tongue speak along with my throat.
2 He aquí yo abriré ahora mi boca, y mi lengua hablará en mi garganta.
3 My words are from my simple heart, and my lips will speak a pure judgment.
3 Mis razones [declararán] la rectitud de mi corazón, y mis labios proferirán pura sabiduría.
4 The Spirit of God made me, and the breath of the Almighty gave me life.
4 El espíritu de Dios me hizo, y la inspiración del Omnipotente me dió vida.
5 If you can, answer me, and oppose me to my face.
5 Si pudieres, respóndeme; dispón [tus palabras], está delante de mí.
6 Behold, God has made me, just as he also has made you, and I, likewise, have been formed of the same clay.
6 Heme aquí á mí en lugar de Dios, conforme á tu dicho: de lodo soy yo también formado.
7 So, truly, do not let my wonders terrify you, and do not let my eloquence be burdensome to you.
7 He aquí que mi terror no te espantará, ni mi mano se agravará sobre ti.
8 For you have spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of your words, saying:
8 De cierto tú dijiste á oídos míos, y yo oí la voz de tus palabras [que decían]:
9 “I am clean and without sin; I am immaculate, and there is no iniquity in me.
9 Yo soy limpio y sin defecto; y soy inocente, y no hay maldad en mí.
10 Yet he has discovered blame in me, and so he has treated me like his enemy.
10 He aquí que él buscó achaques contra mí, y me tiene por su enemigo;
11 He has put my feet in fetters; he has kept watch over all my ways.”
11 Puso mis pies en el cepo, y guardó todas mis sendas.
12 Therefore, it is for this reason that you have not been justified. For I tell you that God is greater than man.
12 He aquí en esto no has hablado justamente: yo te responderé que mayor es Dios que el hombre.
13 Do you contend against him because he has not responded to all of your words?
13 ¿Por qué tomaste pleito contra él? Porque él no da cuenta de ninguna de sus razones.
14 God speaks once, and he does not repeat the same thing a second time.
14 Sin embargo, en una ó en dos [maneras] habla Dios; [mas el hombre] no entiende.
15 Through a dream in a vision of the night, when a deep sleep falls over men, and they are sleeping in their beds,
15 Por sueño de visión nocturna, cuando el sueño cae sobre los hombres, cuando se adormecen sobre el lecho;
16 then, he opens the ears of men, and, educating them, he teaches discipline,
16 Entonces revela al oído de los hombres, y les señala su consejo;
17 so that he may divert a man from the things that he is doing, and may free him from pride,
17 Para quitar al hombre de [su] obra, y apartar del varón la soberbia.
18 rescuing his soul from corruption and his life from passing away by the sword.
18 Detendrá su alma de corrupción, y su vida de que pase á cuchillo.
19 Likewise, he rebukes by sorrow in bed, and he causes all of his bones to become weak.
19 También sobre su cama es castigado con dolor fuerte en todos sus huesos,
20 Bread becomes abominable to him in his life, and, to his soul, the meat which before he desired.
20 Que le hace que su vida aborrezca el pan, y su alma la comida suave.
21 His body will waste away, and his bones, which had been covered, will be revealed.
21 Su carne desfallece sin verse, y sus huesos, que antes no se veían, aparecen.
22 His soul has approached corruption, and his life has drawn near to what is deadly.
22 Y su alma se acerca al sepulcro, y su vida á los que causan la muerte.
23 If there were an angel speaking for him, one among thousands, to declare the fairness of the man,
23 Si tuviera cerca de él [algún] elocuente anunciador muy escogido, que anuncie al hombre su deber;
24 he will have mercy on him, and he will say, “Free him, so that he will not descend to destruction. I have found a reason to be favorable to him.
24 Que le diga que [Dios] tuvo de él misericordia, que lo libró de descender al sepulcro, que halló redención:
25 His body is consumed by suffering. Let him return to the days of his youth.”
25 Enterneceráse su carne más que de niño, volverá á los días de su mocedad.
26 He will beg pardon from God, and he will be soothing to him; and he will look upon his face in jubilation, and he will restore his justice to man.
26 Orará á Dios, y le amará, y verá su faz con júbilo: y él restituirá al hombre su justicia.
27 He will consider mankind, and he will say: “I have sinned and truly I have offended, yet I was not treated as I deserved.”
27 El mira sobre los hombres; y [el que] dijere: Pequé, y pervertí lo recto, y no me ha aprovechado;
28 He has freed his soul from continuing into destruction, so that, in living, it may see the light.
28 [Dios] redimirá su alma, que no pase al sepulcro, y su vida se verá en luz.
29 Behold, all these things God works three times within each one,
29 He aquí, todas estas cosas hace Dios dos y tres veces con el hombre;
30 so that he may revive their souls from corruption and enlighten them with the light of life.
30 Para apartar su alma del sepulcro, y para iluminarlo con la luz de los vivientes.
31 Pay attention Job, and listen to me; and remain silent, while I speak.
31 Escucha, Job, y óyeme; calla, y yo hablaré.
32 Yet, if you have anything to say, answer me and speak, for I want you to be treated justly.
32 Que si tuvieres razones, respóndeme: habla, porque yo te quiero justificar.
33 But if you do not have anything to say, then listen to me. Be quiet and I will teach you wisdom.
33 Y si no, óyeme tú á mí; calla, y enseñarte he sabiduría.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

    Job, too, says, The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
