WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 My spirit shall be wasted, my days shall be shortened, and only the grave remaineth for me.
1 MI ALIENTO está corrompido, acórtanse mis días, y me está aparejado el sepulcro.
1 “My spirit is consumed. My days are extinct and the grave is ready for me.
2 I have not sinned, and my eye abideth in bitterness.
2 No hay conmigo sino escarnecedores, en cuya acrimonia se detienen mis ojos.
2 Surely there are mockers with me. My eye dwells on their provocation.
3 Deliver me O Lord, and set me beside thee, and let any man’s hand fight against me.
3 Pon ahora, dame fianza para [litigar] contigo: ¿quién tocará ahora mi mano?
3 “Now give a pledge. Be collateral for me with yourself. Who is there who will strike hands with me?
4 Thou hast set their heart far from understanding, therefore they shall not be exalted.
4 Porque [á éstos] has tú escondido su corazón de inteligencia: por tanto, no [los] ensalzarás.
4 For you have hidden their heart from understanding, therefore you will not exalt them.
5 He promiseth a prey to his companions, and the eyes of his children shall fail.
5 El que denuncia lisonjas á sus prójimos, los ojos de sus hijos desfallezcan.
5 He who denounces his friends for plunder, even the eyes of his children will fail.
6 He hath made me as it were a byword of the people, and I am an example before them.
6 El me ha puesto por parábola de pueblos, y delante [de ellos] he sido como tamboril.
6 “But he has made me a byword of the people. They spit in my face.
7 My eye is dim through indignation, and my limbs are brought as it were to nothing.
7 Y mis ojos se oscurecieron de desabrimiento, y mis pensamientos todos son como sombra.
7 My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow. All my members are as a shadow.
8 The just shall be astonished at this, and the innocent shall be raised up against the hypocrite.
8 Los rectos se maravillarán de esto, y el inocente se levantará contra el hipócrita.
8 Upright men will be astonished at this. The innocent will stir himself up against the godless.
9 And the just man shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
9 No obstante, proseguirá el justo su camino, y el limpio de manos aumentará la fuerza.
9 Yet the righteous will hold to his way. He who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger.
10 Wherefore be you all converted, and come, and I shall not find among you any wise man.
10 Mas volved todos vosotros, y venid ahora, que no hallaré entre vosotros sabio.
10 But as for you all, come back. I will not find a wise man among you.
11 My days have passed away, my thoughts are dissipated, tormenting my heart.
11 Pasáronse mis días, fueron arrancados mis pensamientos, los designios de mi corazón.
11 My days are past. My plans are broken off, as are the thoughts of my heart.
12 They have turned night into day, and after darkness I hope for light again.
12 Pusieron la noche por día, y la luz se acorta delante de las tinieblas.
12 They change the night into day, saying ‘The light is near’ in the presence of darkness.
13 If I wait hell is my house, and I have made my bed in darkness.
13 Si yo espero, el sepulcro es mi casa: haré mi cama en las tinieblas.
13 If I look for Sheol as my house, if I have spread my couch in the darkness,
14 If I have said to rottenness: Thou art my father; to worms, my mother and my sister.
14 A la huesa tengo dicho: Mi padre eres tú; á los gusanos: Mi madre y mi hermana.
14 if I have said to corruption, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ and ‘My sister,’
15 Where is now then my expectation, and who considereth my patience?
15 ¿Dónde pues estará ahora mi esperanza? y mi esperanza ¿quién la verá?
15 where then is my hope? As for my hope, who will see it?
16 All that I have shall go down into the deepest pit: thinkest thou that there at least I shall have rest?
16 A los rincones de la huesa descenderán, y juntamente descansarán en el polvo.
16 Shall it go down with me to the gates of Sheol, or descend together into the dust?”
