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?
1 “Why aren’t times laid up by the Almighty? Why don’t those who know him see his days?
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.
2 There are people who remove the landmarks. They violently take away flocks, and feed them.
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.
4 They turn the needy out of the way. The poor of the earth all hide themselves.
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.
5 Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert, they go out to their work, seeking diligently for food. The wilderness yields them bread for their children.
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].
6 They cut their food in the field. They glean the vineyard of the wicked.
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.
8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for lack of a shelter.
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.
9 There are those who pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor,
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.
10 so that they go around naked without clothing. Being hungry, they carry the sheaves.
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.
11 They make oil within the walls of these men. They tread wine presses, and suffer thirst.
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.
12 From out of the populous city, men groan. The soul of the wounded cries out, yet God doesn’t regard the folly.
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.
13 “These are of those who rebel against the light. They don’t know its ways, nor stay in its paths.
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.
14 The murderer rises with the light. He kills the poor and needy. In the night he is like a thief.
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.
15 The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, ‘No eye will see me.’ He disguises his face.
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.
16 In the dark they dig through houses. They shut themselves up in the daytime. They don’t know the light.
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].
17 For the morning is to all of them like thick darkness, for they know the terrors of the thick darkness.
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.
18 “They are foam on the surface of the waters. Their portion is cursed on the earth. They don’t turn into the way of the vineyards.

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.
20 The womb will forget him. The worm will feed sweetly on him. He will be no more remembered. Unrighteousness will be broken as a tree.
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.
21 He devours the barren who don’t bear. He shows no kindness to the widow.
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.
22 Yet God preserves the mighty by his power. He rises up who has no assurance of life.
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.
23 God gives them security, and they rest in it. His eyes are on their ways.
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.
24 They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone. Yes, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all others, and are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.
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?
25 If it isn’t so now, who will prove me a liar, and make my speech worth nothing?”
