1 Job also added, taking up his parable, and said:
1 Y VOLVIÓ Job á tomar su propósito, y dijo:
2 Who will grant me, that I might be according to the months past, according to the days in which God kept me?
2 ¡Quién me tornase como en los meses pasados, como en los días que Dios me guardaba,
3 When his lamp shined over my head, and I walked by his light in darkness?
3 Cuando hacía resplandecer su candela sobre mi cabeza, á la luz de la cual yo caminaba en la oscuridad;
4 As I was in the days of my youth, when God was secretly in my tabernacle?
4 Como fué en los días de mi mocedad, cuando el secreto de Dios estaba en mi tienda;
5 When the Almighty was with me: and my servants round about me?
5 Cuando aun el Omnipotente estaba conmigo, y mis hijos alrededor de mí;
6 When I washed my feet with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil?
6 Cuando lavaba yo mis caminos con manteca, y la piedra me derramaba ríos de aceite!
7 When I went out to the gate of the city, and in the street they prepared me a chair?
7 Cuando salía á la puerta á juicio, y en la plaza hacía preparar mi asiento,
8 The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the old men rose up and stood.
8 Los mozos me veían, y se escondían; y los viejos se levantaban, y estaban en pie;
9 The princes ceased to speak, and laid the finger on their mouth.
9 Los príncipes detenían sus palabras, ponían la mano sobre su boca;
10 The rulers held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to their throat.
10 La voz de los principales se ocultaba, y su lengua se pegaba á su paladar:
11 The ear that heard me blessed me, and the eye that saw me gave witness to me:
11 Cuando los oídos que me oían, me llamaban bienaventurado, y los ojos que me veían, me daban testimonio:
12 Because I had delivered the poor man that cried out; and the fatherless that had no helper.
12 Porque libraba al pobre que gritaba, y al huérfano que carecía de ayudador.
13 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me, and I comforted the heart of the widow.
13 La bendición del que se iba á perder venía sobre mí; y al corazón de la viuda daba alegría.
14 I was clad with justice: and I clothed myself with my judgment, as with a robe and a diadem.
14 Vestíame de justicia, y ella me vestía como un manto; y mi toca era juicio.
15 I was an eye to the blind, and a foot to the lame.
15 Yo era ojos al ciego, y pies al cojo.
16 I was the father of the poor: and the cause which I knew not, I searched out most diligently.
16 A los menesterosos era padre; y de la causa que no entendía, me informaba con diligencia:
17 I broke the jaws of the wicked man, and out of his teeth I took away the prey.
17 Y quebraba los colmillos del inicuo, y de sus dientes hacía soltar la presa.
18 And I said: I shall die in my nest, and as a palm tree shall multiply my days.
18 Y decía yo: En mi nido moriré, y como arena multiplicaré días.
19 My root is opened beside the waters, and dew shall continue in my harvest.
19 Mi raíz estaba abierta junto á las aguas, y en mis ramas permanecía el rocío.
20 My glory shall always be renewed, and my bow in my hand shall be repaired.
20 Mi honra se renovaba en mí, y mi arco se corroboraba en mi mano.
21 They that heard me, waited for my sentence, and being attentive held their peace at my counsel.
21 Oíanme, y esperaban; y callaban á mi consejo.
22 To my words they durst add nothing, and my speech dropped upon them.
22 Tras mi palabra no replicaban, y mi razón destilaba sobre ellos.
23 They waited for me as for rain, and they opened their mouth as for a latter shower.
23 Y esperábanme como á la lluvia, y abrían su boca [como] á la lluvia tardía.
24 If at any time I laughed on them, they believed not, and the light of my countenance fell not on earth.
24 Si me reía con ellos, no lo creían: y no abatían la luz de mi rostro.
25 If I had a mind to go to them, I sat first, and when I sat as a king, with his army standing about him, yet I was a comforter of them that mourned.
25 Calificaba yo el camino de ellos, y sentábame en cabecera; y moraba como rey en el ejército, como el que consuela llorosos.
