Job 30 Free Bible Version
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 But now people much younger than me laugh at me; people whose fathers I would not put to work with my sheepdogs.
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 They are too weak to be any use to me; they're all worn-out.
2 Porque ¿para qué yo habría menester la fuerza de sus manos, en los cuales había perecido con el tiempo?
3 Thin through hunger and want, they try to eat the dry ground in the dark, desolate wilderness.
3 Por causa de la pobreza y del hambre [andaban] solos; huían á la soledad, á lugar tenebroso, asolado y desierto.
4 There they pick desert herbs and the leaves of bushes, and eat the roots of broom trees.
4 Que cogían malvas entre los arbustos, y raíces de enebro para calentarse.
5 They were driven out of the community.
5 Eran echados de entre [las gentes], y todos les daban grita como al ladrón.
6 People shouted after them as if they were thieves. They have to live in dangerous ravines, in caves and among the rocks.
6 Habitaban en las barrancas de los arroyos, en las cavernas de la tierra, y en las rocas.
7 They shout out like animals among the bushes; they huddle together in the weeds for shelter.
7 Bramaban entre las matas, y se reunían debajo de las espinas.
8 They are foolish, nameless people that have been driven from the land.
8 Hijos de viles, y hombres sin nombre, más bajos que la misma tierra.
9 Yet now they mock me in their songs; I have become a joke to them!
9 Y ahora yo soy su canción, y he sido hecho su refrán.
10 They despise and shun me; they don't hesitate to spit in my face.
10 Abomínanme, aléjanse de mí, y aun de mi rostro no detuvieron su saliva.
11 God has made my bowstring loose and humbled me.
11 Porque [Dios] desató mi cuerda, y me afligió, por eso se desenfrenaron delante de mi rostro.
12 The rabble rise up against me, they send me running; like a city under siege they devise ways to destroy me.
12 A la mano derecha se levantaron los jóvenes; empujaron mis pies, y sentaron contra mí las vías de su ruina.
13 They cut off my way of escape; they bring about my downfall and do this without anyone's help.
13 Mi senda desbarataron, aprovecháronse de mi quebrantamiento, contra los cuales no hubo ayudador.
14 They come in through a wide breach; they rush in as the wall comes tumbling down.
14 Vinieron como por portillo ancho, revolviéronse á [mi] calamidad.
15 Terrors overcome me; my honor is blown away by the wind; my salvation vanishes like a cloud.
15 Hanse revuelto turbaciones sobre mí; combatieron como viento mi alma, y mi salud pasó como nube.
16 And now my life is ebbing away; every day despair grips me.
16 Y ahora mi alma está derramada en mí; días de aflicción me han aprehendido.
17 At night my bones are in agony; the pain gnaws at me and never stops.
17 De noche taladra sobre mí mis huesos, y mis pulsos no reposan.
18 God grabs me roughly by my clothes; he pulls me by the collar of my shirt.
18 Con la grande copia [de materia] mi vestidura está demudada; cíñeme como el cuello de mi túnica.
19 He has thrown me in the mud; he has humbled me like dust and ashes.
19 Derribóme en el lodo, y soy semejante al polvo y á la ceniza.
20 God, I cry to you but you don't answer; I stand before you, but you don't even notice me.
20 Clamo á ti, y no me oyes; preséntome, y no me atiendes.
21 You have turned cruel to me; you use your power to make me suffer.
21 Haste tornado cruel para mí: con la fortaleza de tu mano me amenazas.
22 You pick me up and blow me along in the wind; tossing me about in the whirlwind.
22 Levantásteme, é hicísteme cabalgar sobre el viento, y disolviste mi sustancia.
23 I know you're taking me to my death, to the place where all the living go.
23 Porque yo conozco que me reduces á la muerte; y á la casa determinada á todo viviente.
24 Who would want to kick a man when he is down, when they cry for help in their time of trouble?
24 Mas él no extenderá la mano contra el sepulcro; ¿clamarán [los sepultados] cuando él los quebrantare?
25 Didn't I weep for those having hard times? Didn't I grieve at what the poor suffered?
25 ¿No lloré yo al afligido? Y mi alma ¿no se entristeció sobre el menesteroso?
26 But when I looked for good, only evil came, and when I waited for the light, all that came was darkness.
26 Cuando esperaba yo el bien, entonces vino el mal; y cuando esperaba luz, la oscuridad vino.
27 Inside I am in turmoil, it never stops; I face days of despair.
27 Mis entrañas hierven, y no reposan; días de aflicción me han sobrecogido.
28 I am so depressed; seeing the sun doesn't help. I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.
28 Denegrido ando, y no por el sol: levantádome he en la congregación, y clamado.
29 I am like a brother to the jackals, a companion to owls.
29 He venido á ser hermano de los dragones, y compañero de los buhos.
30 My skin turns black on me; and my bones burn within me.
30 Mi piel está denegrida sobre mí, y mis huesos se secaron con ardentía.
31 My lyre only plays sad songs, and my pipe is the voice of those who weep.
31 Y hase tornado mi arpa en luto, y mi órgano en voz de lamentadores.
