Job 6 Free Bible Version
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 Then Job responded:
1 Y RESPONDIÓ Job y dijo:
2 “If my grief could be weighed and my troubles placed on the scales
2 ¡Oh si pesasen al justo mi queja y mi tormento, y se alzasen igualmente en balanza!
3 they would be heavier than the sand of the sea. That's why I spoke so rashly.
3 Porque pesaría aquél más que la arena del mar: y por tanto mis palabras son cortadas.
4 For the arrows of the Almighty are in me; their poison saps my spirit. God's terrors are lined up against me.
4 Porque las saetas del Todopoderoso están en mí, cuyo veneno bebe mi espíritu; y terrores de Dios me combaten.
5 Don't wild donkeys bray when their grass is gone? Don't cattle groan when they don't have food!
5 ¿Acaso gime el asno montés junto á la hierba? ¿muge el buey junto á su pasto?
6 Can something that's tasteless be eaten without salt? Is there any taste in the white of an egg?
6 ¿Comeráse lo desabrido sin sal? ¿ó habrá gusto en la clara del huevo?
7 I just can't touch any food—even the thought makes me feel sick!
7 Las cosas que mi alma no quería tocar, por los dolores son mi comida.
8 Oh, if only I could have what I really want, that God would give me what I most desire—
8 ¡Quién me diera que viniese mi petición, y que Dios [me] otorgase lo que espero;
9 that God would be willing to crush me to death, that he would just let me die!
9 Y que pluguiera á Dios quebrantarme; que soltara su mano, y me deshiciera!
10 But it still comforts me to know, making me happy through the never-ending pain, that I have never rejected the words of God.
10 Y sería aún mi consuelo, si me asaltase con dolor sin dar más tregua, que yo no he escondido las palabras del Santo.
11 Why should I go on waiting when I don't have the strength? Why should I keep going when I don't know what is going to happen to me?
11 ¿Cuál es mi fortaleza para esperar aún? ¿y cuál mi fin para dilatar mi vida?
12 Am I as strong as rock? Am I made out of bronze?
12 ¿Es mi fortaleza la de las piedras? ¿ó mi carne, es de acero?
13 How can I help myself now that any chance of success is ripped away from me?
13 ¿No me ayudo cuanto puedo, y el poder me falta del todo?
14 Anyone who isn't kind to a friend has given up respecting the Almighty.
14 El atribulado es consolado de su compañero: mas hase abandonado el temor del Omnipotente.
15 My brothers have acted as deceptively as a desert stream, rushing waters in the desert that vanish.
15 Mis hermanos han mentido cual arroyo: pasáronse como corrientes impetuosas,
16 The stream floods when it is full of dark ice and melting snow,
16 Que están escondidas por la helada, y encubiertas con nieve;
17 but in the heat it dries up and disappears, vanishing from where it once was.
17 Que al tiempo del calor son deshechas, y en calentándose, desaparecen de su lugar;
18 Camel caravans turn aside to look for water, but don't find any and they die.
18 Apártanse de la senda de su rumbo, van menguando y piérdense.
19 Caravans from Tema looked, travelers from Sheba were confident,
19 Miraron los caminantes de Temán, los caminantes de Saba esperaron en ellas:
20 but their hopes were dashed—they came and found nothing.
20 [Mas] fueron avergonzados por su esperanza; porque vinieron hasta ellas, y halláronse confusos.
21 Now you are no help, just like that—you see my trouble and you're afraid.
21 Ahora ciertamente como ellas sois vosotros: que habéis visto el tormento, y teméis.
22 Have I asked you for anything? Have I told you to bribe anyone for me from your wealth?
22 ¿Os he dicho yo: Traedme, y pagad por mí de vuestra hacienda;
23 Have I asked you to rescue me from an enemy? Have I told you to save me from my oppressors?
23 Y libradme de la mano del opresor, y redimidme del poder de los violentos?
24 Explain this to me, and I'll be quiet. Show me where I'm wrong.
24 Enseñadme, y yo callaré: y hacedme entender en qué he errado.
25 Honest words are painful, but what do your arguments prove?
25 ¡Cuán fuertes son las palabras de rectitud! Mas ¿qué reprende el que reprende de vosotros?
26 Are you going to argue over what I said, when the words of someone in despair should be left to blow away in the wind?
26 ¿Pensáis censurar palabras, y los discursos de un desesperado, que son como el viento?
27 You would play dice to win an orphan; you would bargain away your friend!
27 También os arrojáis sobre el huérfano, y hacéis hoyo delante de vuestro amigo.
28 Look me in the eye and see if I'm lying to your face!
28 Ahora pues, si queréis, mirad en mí, y [ved] si miento delante de vosotros.
29 Don't talk like this! Don't be unjust! What I'm saying is right.
29 Tornad ahora, y no haya iniquidad; volved aún [á considerar] mi justicia en esto.
30 I'm not telling lies—don't you think I wouldn't know if I was wrong?”
30 ¿Hay iniquidad en mi lengua? ¿no puede mi paladar discernir las cosas depravadas?
