JPS JPS Tanakh (1917)
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Why are times not laid up by the Almighty? And why do not they that know Him see His days?
1 PUESTO que no son ocultos los tiempos al Todopoderoso, ¿por qué los que le conocen no ven sus días?
2 There are that remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed them.
2 Traspasan los términos, roban los ganados, y apaciéntanlos.
3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge.
3 Llévanse el asno de los huérfanos; prenden el buey de la viuda.
4 They turn the needy out of the way; the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
4 Hacen apartar del camino á los menesterosos: y todos los pobres de la tierra se esconden.
5 Behold, as wild asses in the wilderness they go forth to their work, seeking diligently for food; the desert yieldeth them bread for their children.
5 He aquí, como asnos monteses en el desierto, salen á su obra madrugando para robar; el desierto es mantenimiento de sus hijos.
6 They cut his provender in the field; and they despoil the vineyard of the wicked.
6 En el campo siegan su pasto, y los impíos vendimian la viña [ajena].
7 They lie all night naked without clothing, and have no covering in the cold.
7 Al desnudo hacen dormir sin ropa, y que en el frío no tenga cobertura.
8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
8 Con las avenidas de los montes se mojan, y abrazan las peñas sin tener abrigo.
9 There are that pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor;
9 Quitan el pecho á los huérfanos, y de sobre el pobre toman la prenda.
10 So that they go about naked without clothing, and being hungry they carry the sheaves;
10 Al desnudo hacen andar sin vestido, y á los hambrientos quitan los hacecillos.
11 They make oil within the rows of these men; they tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
11 De dentro de sus paredes exprimen el aceite, pisan los lagares, y mueren de sed.
12 From out of the populous city men groan, and the soul of the wounded crieth out; yet God imputeth it not for unseemliness.
12 De la ciudad gimen los hombres, y claman las almas de los heridos de muerte: mas Dios no puso estorbo.
13 These are of them that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
13 Ellos son los que, rebeldes á la luz, nunca conocieron sus caminos, ni estuvieron en sus veredas.
14 The murderer riseth with the light, to kill the poor and needy; and in the night he is as a thief.
14 A la luz se levanta el matador, mata al pobre y al necesitado, y de noche es como ladrón.
15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying: 'No eye shall see me'; and he putteth a covering on his face.
15 El ojo del adúltero está aguardando la noche, diciendo: No me verá nadie: y esconde su rostro.
16 In the dark they dig through houses; they shut themselves up in the day-time; they know not the light.
16 En las tinieblas minan las casas, que de día para sí señalaron; no conocen la luz.
17 For the shadow of death is to all of them as the morning; for they know the terrors of the shadow of death.
17 Porque la mañana es á todos ellos como sombra de muerte; si son conocidos, terrores de sombra de muerte [los toman].
18 He is swift upon the face of the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth; he turneth not by the way of the vineyards.
18 Son instables más que la superficie de las aguas; su porción es maldita en la tierra; no andarán por el camino de las viñas.
19 Drought and heat consume the snow waters; so doth the nether-world those that have sinned.
19 La sequía y el calor arrebatan las aguas de la nieve; y el sepulcro á los pecadores.
20 The womb forgetteth him; the worm feedeth sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and unrighteousness is broken as a tree.
20 Olvidaráse de ellos el seno materno; de ellos sentirán los gusanos dulzura; nunca más habrá de ellos memoria, y como un árbol serán los impíos quebrantados.
21 He devoureth the barren that beareth not; and doeth not good to the widow.
21 A la mujer estéril que no paría, afligió; y á la viuda nunca hizo bien.
22 He draweth away the mighty also by his power; he riseth up, and he trusteth not his own life.
22 Mas á los fuertes adelantó con su poder: levantóse, y no se da por segura la vida.
23 Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth, yet His eyes are upon their ways.
23 Le dieron á crédito, y se afirmó: sus ojos están sobre los caminos de ellos.
24 They are exalted for a little while, and they are gone; yea, they are brought low, they are gathered in as all others, and wither as the tops of the ears of corn.
24 Fueron ensalzados por un poco, mas desaparecen, y son abatidos como cada cual: serán encerrados, y cortados como cabezas de espigas.
25 And if it be not so now, who will prove me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
25 Y si no, ¿quién me desmentirá ahora, ó reducirá á nada mis palabras?
