1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
1 Y RESPONDIÓ Sophar Naamathita, y dijo:
2 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
2 ¿Las muchas palabras no han de tener respuesta? ¿y el hombre parlero será justificado?
3 Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
3 ¿Harán tus falacias callar á los hombres? ¿y harás escarnio, y no habrá quien te avergüence?
4 For thou hast said, My doctrine [is] pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
4 Tú dices: Mi conversar es puro, y yo soy limpio delante de tus ojos.
5 But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
5 Mas ¡oh quién diera que Dios hablara, y abriera sus labios contigo,
6 And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that [they are] double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee [less] than thine iniquity [deserveth].
6 Y que te declarara los arcanos de la sabiduría, que [son] de doble [valor] que la hacienda! Conocerías entonces que Dios te ha castigado menos que tu iniquidad merece.
7 Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
7 ¿Alcanzarás tú el rastro de Dios? ¿llegarás tú á la perfección del Todopoderoso?
8 [It is] as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
8 Es más alto que los cielos: ¿qué harás? Es más profundo que el infierno: ¿cómo lo conocerás?
9 The measure thereof [is] longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
9 Su dimensión es más larga que la tierra, y más ancha que la mar.
10 If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
10 Si cortare, ó encerrare, ó juntare, ¿quién podrá contrarrestarle?
11 For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider [it]?
11 Porque él conoce á los hombres vanos: ve asimismo la iniquidad, ¿y no hará caso?
12 For vain man would be wise, though man be born [like] a wild ass’s colt.
12 El hombre vano se hará entendido, aunque nazca como el pollino del asno montés.
13 If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
13 Si tú apercibieres tu corazón, y extendieres á él tus manos;
14 If iniquity [be] in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
14 Si alguna iniquidad hubiere en tu mano, y la echares de ti, y no consintieres que more maldad en tus habitaciones;
15 For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
15 Entonces levantarás tu rostro limpio de mancha, y serás fuerte y no temerás:
16 Because thou shalt forget [thy] misery, [and] remember [it] as waters [that] pass away:
16 Y olvidarás tu trabajo, ó te acordarás de él como de aguas que pasaron:
17 And [thine] age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
17 Y en mitad de la siesta se levantará bonanza; resplandecerás, y serás como la mañana:
18 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig [about thee, and] thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
18 Y confiarás, que habrá esperanza; y cavarás, y dormirás seguro:
19 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make [thee] afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
19 Y te acostarás, y no habrá quien te espante: y muchos te rogarán.
20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope [shall be as] the giving up of the ghost.
20 Mas los ojos de los malos se consumirán, y no tendrán refugio; y su esperanza será agonía del alma.
