Notes on this text (1)
- Original 16th-century spelling.
1 So these three men ceased to answere Iob, because he esteemed himselfe iust.
1 Y CESARON estos tres varones de responder á Job, por cuanto él era justo en sus ojos.
1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2 Then the wrath of Elihu the sonne of Barachel the Buzite, of the familie of Ram, was kindled: his wrath, I say, was kindled against Iob, because he iustified himselfe more then 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.
2 Then the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was kindled against Job. His wrath was kindled because he justified himself rather than God.
3 Also his anger was kindled against his three friends, because they could not finde an answere, and yet condemned Iob.
3 Enojóse asimismo con furor contra sus tres amigos, porque no hallaban qué responder, aunque habían condenado á Job.
3 Also his wrath was kindled against his three friends, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
4 (Now Elihu had wayted til Iob had spoken: for they were more ancient in yeeres then he)
4 Y Eliú había esperado á Job en la disputa, porque eran más viejos de días que él.
4 Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job, because they were older than he.
5 So when Elihu saw, that there was none answere in the mouth of the three men, his wrath was kindled.
5 Empero viendo Eliú que no había respuesta en la boca de aquellos tres varones, su furor se encendió.
5 When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.
6 Therefore Elihu the sonne of Barachel, the Buzite answered, and sayd, I am yong in yeres, and ye are ancient: therefore I doubted, and was afraide to shewe you mine opinion.
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.
6 Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered, “I am young, and you are very old. Therefore I held back, and didn’t dare show you my opinion.
7 For I said, The dayes shall speake, and the multitude of yeeres shall teach wisedome.
7 Yo decía: Los días hablarán, y la muchedumbre de años declarará sabiduría.
7 I said, ‘Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.’
8 Surely there is a spirite in man, but the inspiration of the Almightie giueth vnderstanding.
8 Ciertamente espíritu hay en el hombre, é inspiración del Omnipotente los hace que entiendan.
8 But there is a spirit in man, and the Spirit of the Almighty gives them understanding.
9 Great men are not alway wise, neither doe the aged alway vnderstand iudgement.
9 No los grandes son los sabios, ni los viejos entienden el derecho.
9 It is not the great who are wise, nor the aged who understand justice.
10 Therefore I say, Heare me, and I will shew also mine opinion.
10 Por tanto yo dije: Escuchadme; declararé yo también mi sabiduría.
10 Therefore I said, ‘Listen to me; I also will show my opinion.’
11 Behold, I did waite vpon your wordes, and hearkened vnto your knowledge, whiles you sought out reasons.
11 He aquí yo he esperado á vuestras razones, he escuchado vuestros argumentos, en tanto que buscabais palabras.
11 “Behold, I waited for your words, and I listened for your reasoning, while you searched out what to say.
12 Yea, when I had considered you, lo, there was none of you that reproued Iob, nor answered his wordes:
12 Os he pues prestado atención, y he aquí que no hay de vosotros quien redarguya á Job, y responda á sus razones.
12 Yes, I gave you my full attention, but there was no one who convinced Job, or who answered his words, among you.
13 Lest ye should say, We haue found wisedome: for God hath cast him downe, and no man.
13 Porque no digáis: Nosotros hemos hallado sabiduría: lanzólo Dios, no el hombre.
13 Beware lest you say, ‘We have found wisdom. God may refute him, not man;’
14 Yet hath he not directed his words to me, neyther will I answere him by your wordes.
14 Ahora bien, Job no enderezó á mí sus palabras, ni yo le responderé con vuestras razones.
14 for he has not directed his words against me; neither will I answer him with your speeches.
15 Then they fearing, answered no more, but left off their talke.
15 Espantáronse, no respondieron más: fuéronseles los razonamientos.
15 “They are amazed. They answer no more. They don’t have a word to say.
16 When I had wayted (for they spake not, but stood still and answered no more)
16 Yo pues he esperado, porque no hablaban, antes pararon, y no respondieron más.
16 Shall I wait, because they don’t speak, because they stand still, and answer no more?
17 Then answered I in my turne, and I shewed mine opinion.
17 Por eso yo también responderé mi parte, también yo declararé mi juicio.
17 I also will answer my part, and I also will show my opinion.
18 For I am full of matter, and the spirite within me compelleth me.
18 Porque lleno estoy de palabras, y el espíritu de mi vientre me constriñe.
18 For I am full of words. The spirit within me constrains me.
19 Beholde, my belly is as the wine, which hath no vent, and like the new bottels that brast.
19 De cierto mi vientre está como el vino que no tiene respiradero, y se rompe como odres nuevos.
19 Behold, my breast is as wine which has no vent; like new wineskins it is ready to burst.
20 Therefore will I speake, that I may take breath: I will open my lippes, and will answere.
20 Hablaré pues y respiraré; abriré mis labios, y responderé.
20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed. I will open my lips and answer.
21 I will not now accept the person of man, neyther will I giue titles to man.
21 No haré ahora acepción de personas, ni usaré con hombre de lisonjeros títulos.
21 Please don’t let me respect any man’s person, neither will I give flattering titles to any man.
22 For I may not giue titles, lest my Maker should take me away suddenly.
22 Porque no sé hablar lisonjas: [de otra manera] en breve mi Hacedor me consuma.
22 For I don’t know how to give flattering titles, or else my Maker would soon take me away.
