Job 24 Literal Standard Version
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 “For this reason from the Mighty One || Times have not been hidden, || And those knowing Him have not seen His days.
1 PUESTO que no son ocultos los tiempos al Todopoderoso, ¿por qué los que le conocen no ven sus días?
2 They reach the borders, || They have taken a drove away violently, || Indeed, they do evil.
2 Traspasan los términos, roban los ganados, y apaciéntanlos.
3 They lead away the donkey of the fatherless, || They take in pledge the ox of the widow,
3 Llévanse el asno de los huérfanos; prenden el buey de la viuda.
4 They turn aside the needy from the way, || Together have hid the poor of the earth.
4 Hacen apartar del camino á los menesterosos: y todos los pobres de la tierra se esconden.
5 Behold, wild donkeys in a wilderness, || They have gone out about their work, || Seeking early for prey, || A mixture for himself—food for young ones.
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 reap his provender in a field, || And they glean the vineyard of the wicked.
6 En el campo siegan su pasto, y los impíos vendimian la viña [ajena].
7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing. And there is no covering in the cold.
7 Al desnudo hacen dormir sin ropa, y que en el frío no tenga cobertura.
8 From the inundation of hills they are wet, || And without a refuge—have embraced a rock.
8 Con las avenidas de los montes se mojan, y abrazan las peñas sin tener abrigo.
9 They take away violently || The orphan from the breast, || And they lay a pledge on the poor.
9 Quitan el pecho á los huérfanos, y de sobre el pobre toman la prenda.
10 Naked, they have gone without clothing, || And hungry—have taken away a sheaf.
10 Al desnudo hacen andar sin vestido, y á los hambrientos quitan los hacecillos.
11 They make oil between their walls, || They have trodden winepresses, and thirst.
11 De dentro de sus paredes exprimen el aceite, pisan los lagares, y mueren de sed.
12 Men groan because of enmity, || And the soul of pierced ones cries, || And God does not give praise.
12 De la ciudad gimen los hombres, y claman las almas de los heridos de muerte: mas Dios no puso estorbo.
13 They have been those rebelling against light, || They have not discerned His ways, || Nor abided in His paths.
13 Ellos son los que, rebeldes á la luz, nunca conocieron sus caminos, ni estuvieron en sus veredas.
14 The murderer rises at the light, || He slays 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 And the eye of an adulterer || Has observed the twilight, || Saying, No eye beholds me. And he puts the face in secret.
15 El ojo del adúltero está aguardando la noche, diciendo: No me verá nadie: y esconde su rostro.
16 He has dug in the darkness—houses; By day they shut themselves up, || They have not known light.
16 En las tinieblas minan las casas, que de día para sí señalaron; no conocen la luz.
17 When together, morning [is] death-shade to them, || When he discerns the terrors of death-shade.
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] light on the face of the waters, || Their portion is vilified in the earth, || He does not turn the way of 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—also heat—consume snow-waters, || Sheol—[those who] have sinned.
19 La sequía y el calor arrebatan las aguas de la nieve; y el sepulcro á los pecadores.
20 The womb forgets him, || The worm sweetens [on] him, || He is remembered no more, || And wickedness 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 Treating evil the barren [who] does not bear, || And he does no good [to] the widow,
21 A la mujer estéril que no paría, afligió; y á la viuda nunca hizo bien.
22 And [God] has drawn the mighty by His power, || He rises, and none believes in life.
22 Mas á los fuertes adelantó con su poder: levantóse, y no se da por segura la vida.
23 He gives to him confidence, and he is supported, || And His eyes [are] on their ways.
23 Le dieron á crédito, y se afirmó: sus ojos están sobre los caminos de ellos.
24 They were high [for] a little, and they are not, || And they have been brought low. They are shut up as all [others], || And cut off as the head of an ear of grain.
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 not now, who proves me a liar, || And makes my word of nothing?”
25 Y si no, ¿quién me desmentirá ahora, ó reducirá á nada mis palabras?
