1 Do you know at what time the wild goats have given birth among the rocks, or do you observe the deer when they go into labor?
1 ¿CAZARÁS tú la presa para el león? ¿y saciarás el hambre de los leoncillos,
2 Have you numbered the months since their conception, and do you know at what time they gave birth?
2 Cuando están echados en las cuevas, ó se están en sus guaridas para acechar?
3 They bend themselves for their offspring, and they give birth, and they emit roars.
3 ¿Quién preparó al cuervo su alimento, cuando sus pollos claman á Dios, bullendo de un lado á otro por carecer de comida?
4 Their young are weaned and go out to feed; they depart and do not return to them.
4 ¿Sabes tú el tiempo en que paren las cabras monteses? ¿ó miraste tú las ciervas cuando están pariendo?
5 Who has set the wild ass free, and who has released his bonds?
5 ¿Contaste tú los meses de su preñez, y sabes el tiempo cuando han de parir?
6 I have given a house in solitude to him, and his tabernacle is in the salted land.
6 Encórvanse, hacen salir sus hijos, pasan sus dolores.
7 He despises the crowded city; he does not pay attention to the bellow of the tax collector.
7 Sus hijos están sanos, crecen con el pasto: salen y no vuelven á ellas.
8 He looks around the mountains of his pasture, and he searches everywhere for green plants.
8 ¿Quién echó libre al asno montés, y quién soltó sus ataduras?
9 Will the rhinoceros be willing to serve you, and will he remain in your stall?
9 Al cual yo puse casa en la soledad, y sus moradas en lugares estériles.
10 Can you detain the rhinoceros with your harness to plough for you, and will he loosen the soil of the furrows behind you?
10 Búrlase de la multitud de la ciudad: no oye las voces del arriero.
11 Will you put your faith in his great strength, and delegate your labors to him?
11 Lo oculto de los montes es su pasto, y anda buscando todo lo que está verde.
12 Will you trust him to return to you the seed, and to gather it on your drying floor?
12 ¿Querrá el unicornio servirte á ti, ni quedar á tu pesebre?
13 The wing of the ostrich is like the wings of the heron, and of the hawk.
13 ¿Atarás tú al unicornio con su coyunda para el surco? ¿labrará los valles en pos de ti?
14 When she leaves eggs behind in the earth, will you perhaps warm them in the dust?
14 ¿Confiarás tú en él, por ser grande su fortaleza, y le fiarás tu labor?
15 She forgets that feet may trample them, or that the beasts of the field may shatter them.
15 ¿Fiarás de él que te tornará tu simiente, y que [la] allegará en tu era?
16 She is hardened against her young, as if they were not hers; she has labored in vain, with no fear compelling her.
16 ¿[Diste tú] hermosas alas al pavo real, ó alas y plumas al avestruz?
17 For God has deprived her of wisdom; neither has he given her understanding.
17 El cual desampara en la tierra sus huevos, y sobre el polvo los calienta,
18 Yet, when the time is right, she raises her wings on high; she ridicules the horse and his rider.
18 Y olvídase de que los pisará el pie, y que los quebrará bestia del campo.
19 Will you supply strength to the horse, or envelope his throat with neighing?
19 Endurécese para con sus hijos, como si no fuesen suyos, no temiendo que su trabajo haya sido en vano:
20 Will you alarm him as the locusts do? His panic is revealed by the display of his nostrils.
20 Porque le privó Dios de sabiduría, y no le dió inteligencia.
21 He digs at the earth with his hoof; he jumps around boldly; he advances to meet armed men.
21 Luego que se levanta en alto, búrlase del caballo y de su jinete.
22 He despises fear; he does not turn away from the sword.
22 ¿Diste tú al caballo la fortaleza? ¿vestiste tú su cerviz de relincho?
23 Above him, the quiver rattles, the spear and the shield shake.
23 ¿Le intimidarás tú como á alguna langosta? El resoplido de su nariz es formidable:
24 Seething and raging, he drinks up the earth; neither does he pause when the blast of the trumpet sounds.
24 Escarba la tierra, alégrase en su fuerza, sale al encuentro de las armas:
25 When he hears the bugle, he says, “Ha!” He smells the battle from a distance, the exhortation of the officers, and the battle cry of the soldiers.
25 Hace burla del espanto, y no teme, ni vuelve el rostro delante de la espada.
26 Does the hawk grow feathers by means of your wisdom, spreading her wings towards the south?
26 Contra él suena la aljaba, el hierro de la lanza y de la pica:
27 Will the eagle lift herself up at your command and make her nest in steep places?
27 Y él con ímpetu y furor escarba la tierra, sin importarle el sonido de la bocina;
28 She dwells among the rocks, and she lingers among broken boulders and inaccessible cliffs.
28 [Antes como] que dice entre los clarines: ¡Ea!, y desde lejos huele la batalla, el grito de los capitanes, y la vocería.
29 From there, she looks for food, and her eyes catch sight of it from far away.
29 ¿Vuela el gavilán por tu industria, y extiende hacia el mediodía sus alas?
30 Her young will drink blood, and wherever the carcass will be, she is there immediately.
30 ¿Se remonta el águila por tu mandamiento, y pone en alto su nido? Ella habita y está en la piedra, en la cumbre del peñasco y de la roca. Desde allí acecha la comida: sus ojos observan de muy lejos. Sus pollos chupan la sangre: y donde hubiere cadáveres, allí está. A más de eso respondió Jehová á Job, y dijo: ¿Es sabiduría contender con el Omnipotente? El que disputa con Dios, responda á esto. Y respondió Job á Jehová, y dijo: He aquí que yo soy vil, ¿qué te responderé? Mi mano pongo sobre mi boca. Una vez hablé, y no responderé: aun dos veces, mas no tornaré á hablar.
31 And the Lord continued, and he said to Job:

32 Will he who contends with God be so easily silenced? Certainly, he who argues with God must also respond to him.
32 Not in this translation
33 Then Job answered the Lord, saying:
33 Not in this translation
34 What could I possibly answer, since I have been speaking thoughtlessly? I will place my hand over my mouth.
34 Not in this translation
35 One thing I have spoken, which I wish I had not said; and another, to which I will add no more.
