Job 6 Free Bible Version
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
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!
2 “Oh that my anguish were weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances!
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.
3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas, therefore my words have been rash.
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.
4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me. My spirit drinks up their poison. The terrors of God set themselves in array against me.
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?
5 Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass? Or does the ox low over his fodder?
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?
6 Can that which has no flavor be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
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.
7 My soul refuses to touch them. They are as loathsome food to me.
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;
8 “Oh that I might have my request, that God would grant the thing that I long for,
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!
9 even that it would please God to crush me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
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.
10 Let it still be my consolation, yes, let me exult in pain that doesn’t spare, that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
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?
11 What is my strength, that I should wait? What is my end, that I should be patient?
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?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh of bronze?
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?
13 Isn’t it that I have no help in me, that wisdom is driven away from me?
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.
14 “To him who is ready to faint, kindness should be shown from his friend; even to him who forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
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,
15 My brothers have dealt deceitfully as a brook, as the channel of brooks that pass away;
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;
16 which are black by reason of the ice, in which the snow hides itself.
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;
17 In the dry season, they vanish. When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
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.
18 The caravans that travel beside them turn away. They go up into the waste, and perish.
19 Caravans from Tema looked, travelers from Sheba were confident,
19 Miraron los caminantes de Temán, los caminantes de Saba esperaron en ellas:
19 The caravans of Tema looked. The companies of Sheba waited for them.
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.
20 They were distressed because they were confident. They came there, and were confounded.
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.
21 For now you are nothing. You see a terror, and are afraid.
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;
22 Did I ever say, ‘Give to me’? or, ‘Offer a present for me from your substance’?
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?
23 or, ‘Deliver me from the adversary’s hand’? or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors’?
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.
24 “Teach me, and I will hold my peace. Cause me to understand my error.
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?
25 How forcible are words of uprightness! But your reproof, what does it reprove?
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?
26 Do you intend to reprove words, since the speeches of one who is desperate are as wind?
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.
27 Yes, you would even cast lots for the fatherless, and make merchandise of your friend.
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.
28 Now therefore be pleased to look at me, for surely I will not lie to your face.
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.
29 Please return. Let there be no injustice. Yes, return again. My cause is righteous.
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?
30 Is there injustice on my tongue? Can’t my taste discern mischievous things?
