Job 32 Free Bible Version
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 Job's three friends stopped responding to him because he kept on protesting his innocence.
1 Y CESARON estos tres varones de responder á Job, por cuanto él era justo en sus ojos.
2 Then Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, grew angry. He was angry with Job for claiming he was right rather than God.
2 Entonces Eliú hijo de Barachêl, Bucita,, de la familia de Ram, se enojó con furor contra Job: enojóse con furor, por cuanto justificaba su vida más que á Dios.
3 Elihu was also angry at Job's three friends because they made it seem that God was wrong, because they had not been able to answer Job.
3 Enojóse asimismo con furor contra sus tres amigos, porque no hallaban qué responder, aunque habían condenado á Job.
4 Elihu had waited for the other three to speak with Job since they were older than he was.
4 Y Eliú había esperado á Job en la disputa, porque eran más viejos de días que él.
5 But when he saw that they could not answer Job, he grew very angry.
5 Empero viendo Eliú que no había respuesta en la boca de aquellos tres varones, su furor se encendió.
6 Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, said, “I am young, and you are old, which is why I was reluctant to tell you what I know.
6 Y respondió Eliú hijo de Barachêl, Bucita, y dijo: Yo soy menor de días, y vosotros viejos; he tenido por tanto miedo, y temido declararos mi opinión.
7 I told myself, ‘Those who are older should speak—those who are elderly should teach wisdom.’
7 Yo decía: Los días hablarán, y la muchedumbre de años declarará sabiduría.
8 However, there is a spirit in human beings, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding.
8 Ciertamente espíritu hay en el hombre, é inspiración del Omnipotente los hace que entiendan.
9 It is not the old who are wise, or the elderly who know what is right.
9 No los grandes son los sabios, ni los viejos entienden el derecho.
10 That's why I'm telling you to listen to me now—let me tell you what I know.
10 Por tanto yo dije: Escuchadme; declararé yo también mi sabiduría.
11 Well, I waited to hear what you had to say, listening for your insights as you looked for the right words to speak.
11 He aquí yo he esperado á vuestras razones, he escuchado vuestros argumentos, en tanto que buscabais palabras.
12 I paid close attention to all of you, and none of you have proved Job wrong or answered his arguments.
12 Os he pues prestado atención, y he aquí que no hay de vosotros quien redarguya á Job, y responda á sus razones.
13 Don't say to yourselves, ‘We are so wise,’ for God will prove him wrong, not a human being.
13 Porque no digáis: Nosotros hemos hallado sabiduría: lanzólo Dios, no el hombre.
14 Job didn't line up his arguments against me, and I won't answer him the way you did.
14 Ahora bien, Job no enderezó á mí sus palabras, ni yo le responderé con vuestras razones.
15 You sit there speechless with nothing left to say.
15 Espantáronse, no respondieron más: fuéronseles los razonamientos.
16 Should I continue to wait since you're no longer talking, just standing there saying nothing?
16 Yo pues he esperado, porque no hablaban, antes pararon, y no respondieron más.
17 No—now I'll give my answer too. I'll tell you what I know.
17 Por eso yo también responderé mi parte, también yo declararé mi juicio.
18 I have so much to say I can't hold the words back!
18 Porque lleno estoy de palabras, y el espíritu de mi vientre me constriñe.
19 Inside I'm like fermenting wine all bottled up; like new wineskins ready to explode!
19 De cierto mi vientre está como el vino que no tiene respiradero, y se rompe como odres nuevos.
20 I have to speak before I burst; I will open my lips to answer him.
20 Hablaré pues y respiraré; abriré mis labios, y responderé.
21 I will not take sides, and I'm not going to flatter anyone.
21 No haré ahora acepción de personas, ni usaré con hombre de lisonjeros títulos.
22 I don't know how to flatter, and if I did my Creator would soon destroy me.”
22 Porque no sé hablar lisonjas: [de otra manera] en breve mi Hacedor me consuma.
