Job 35 Free Bible Version
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 Then Elihu continued, saying,
1 Y PROCEDIENDO Eliú en su razonamiento, dijo:
1 Moreover Elihu answered,
2 “Do you think it's honest to claim you are right before God?
2 ¿Piensas ser conforme á derecho esto [que] dijiste: Más justo soy yo que Dios?
2 “Do you think this to be your right, or do you say, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s,’
3 And you ask, ‘What benefit do I get? What good has it done me by not sinning?’
3 Porque dijiste: ¿Qué ventaja sacarás tú de ello? ¿ó qué provecho tendré de mi pecado?
3 that you ask, ‘What advantage will it be to you? What profit will I have, more than if I had sinned?’
4 I'll tell you, and your friends too!
4 Yo te responderé razones, y á tus compañeros contigo.
4 I will answer you, and your companions with you.
5 Just look up at the sky and see. Observe the clouds high above you.
5 Mira á los cielos, y ve, y considera que las nubes son más altas que tú.
5 Look to the skies, and see. See the skies, which are higher than you.
6 If you sin, how does that harm God? How do your many sins affect God?
6 Si pecares, ¿qué habrás hecho contra él? y si tus rebeliones se multiplicaren, ¿qué le harás tú?
6 If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him? If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?
7 If you do what's right, what good are you doing for him?
7 Si fueres justo, ¿qué le darás á él? ¿ó qué recibirá de tu mano?
7 If you are righteous, what do you give him? Or what does he receive from your hand?
8 No—your sins only affect people like yourself, and whatever good you do only affects them too.
8 Al hombre como tú [dañará] tu impiedad, y al hijo del hombre [aprovechará] tu justicia.
8 Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are, and your righteousness may profit a son of man.
9 People cry out because of terrible persecution; they call for someone to save them from their oppressors.
9 A causa de la multitud de las violencias clamarán, y se lamentarán por el poderío de los grandes.
9 “By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out. They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.
10 But no one asks, ‘Where is the God my maker, the one who gives songs in the night,
10 Y ninguno dice: ¿Dónde está Dios mi Hacedor, que da canciones en la noche,
10 But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,
11 who teaches us more than the animals, and makes us wiser than the birds?’
11 Que nos enseña más que á las bestias de la tierra, y nos hace sabios más que las aves del cielo?
11 who teaches us more than the animals of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?’
12 When they call out for help, God doesn't answer them because they are proud and evil people.
12 Allí clamarán, y él no oirá, por la soberbia de los malos.
12 There they cry, but no one answers, because of the pride of evil men.
13 God doesn't listen to their empty cries; the Almighty doesn't pay them any attention.
13 Ciertamente Dios no oirá la vanidad, ni la mirará el Omnipotente.
13 Surely God will not hear an empty cry, neither will the Almighty regard it.
14 How much less will God hear you when you say he can't see you? Your case is before him, so you have to wait for him.
14 Aunque más digas, No lo mirará; haz juicio delante de él, y en él espera.
14 How much less when you say you don’t see him. The cause is before him, and you wait for him!
15 You're saying that God doesn't punish people in his anger and pays little attention to sin.
15 Mas ahora, porque en su ira no visita, ni conoce con rigor, por eso Job abrió su boca vanamente, y multiplica palabras sin sabiduría.
15 But now, because he has not visited in his anger, neither does he greatly regard arrogance,
16 You, Job, are talking nonsense, making long speeches when you know nothing!”
16 Not in this translation
16 therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk, and he multiplies words without knowledge.”
