1 And Job adds to lift up his allegory and says:
1 Y VOLVIÓ Job á tomar su propósito, y dijo:
1 Job again took up his parable, and said,
2 “Who makes me as [in] months past, || As [in] the days of God’s preserving me?
2 ¡Quién me tornase como en los meses pasados, como en los días que Dios me guardaba,
2 “Oh that I were as in the months of old, as in the days when God watched over me;
3 In His causing His lamp to shine on my head, || By His light I walk [through] darkness.
3 Cuando hacía resplandecer su candela sobre mi cabeza, á la luz de la cual yo caminaba en la oscuridad;
3 when his lamp shone on my head, and by his light I walked through darkness,
4 As I have been in days of my maturity, || And the counsel of God on my tent.
4 Como fué en los días de mi mocedad, cuando el secreto de Dios estaba en mi tienda;
4 as I was in my prime, when the friendship of God was in my tent,
5 When yet the Mighty One [is] with me. Around me—my young ones,
5 Cuando aun el Omnipotente estaba conmigo, y mis hijos alrededor de mí;
5 when the Almighty was yet with me, and my children were around me,
6 When washing my goings with butter, || And the firm rock [is] with me—streams of oil.
6 Cuando lavaba yo mis caminos con manteca, y la piedra me derramaba ríos de aceite!
6 when my steps were washed with butter, and the rock poured out streams of oil for me,
7 When I go out to the gate by the city, || In a broad place I prepare my seat.
7 Cuando salía á la puerta á juicio, y en la plaza hacía preparar mi asiento,
7 when I went out to the city gate, when I prepared my seat in the street.
8 Youths have seen me, and they have been hidden, || And the aged have risen—they stood up.
8 Los mozos me veían, y se escondían; y los viejos se levantaban, y estaban en pie;
8 The young men saw me and hid themselves. The aged rose up and stood.
9 Princes have kept in words, || And they place a hand on their mouth.
9 Los príncipes detenían sus palabras, ponían la mano sobre su boca;
9 The princes refrained from talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
10 The voice of leaders has been hidden, || And their tongue has cleaved to the palate.
10 La voz de los principales se ocultaba, y su lengua se pegaba á su paladar:
10 The voice of the nobles was hushed, and their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.
11 For the ear heard, and declares me blessed, || And the eye has seen, and testifies [to] me.
11 Cuando los oídos que me oían, me llamaban bienaventurado, y los ojos que me veían, me daban testimonio:
11 For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me, and when the eye saw me, it commended me,
12 For I deliver the afflicted who is crying, || And the fatherless who has no helper.
12 Porque libraba al pobre que gritaba, y al huérfano que carecía de ayudador.
12 because I delivered the poor who cried, and the fatherless also, who had no one to help him,
13 The blessing of the perishing comes on me, || And I cause the heart of the widow to sing.
13 La bendición del que se iba á perder venía sobre mí; y al corazón de la viuda daba alegría.
13 the blessing of him who was ready to perish came on me, and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
14 I have put on righteousness, and it clothes me, || My justice as a robe and a crown.
14 Vestíame de justicia, y ella me vestía como un manto; y mi toca era juicio.
14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me. My justice was as a robe and a diadem.
15 I have been eyes to the blind, || And I [am] feet to the lame.
15 Yo era ojos al ciego, y pies al cojo.
15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame.
16 I [am] a father to the needy, || And the cause I have not known I search out.
16 A los menesterosos era padre; y de la causa que no entendía, me informaba con diligencia:
16 I was a father to the needy. I researched the cause of him whom I didn’t know.
17 And I break the jaw-teeth of the perverse, || And from his teeth I cast away prey.
17 Y quebraba los colmillos del inicuo, y de sus dientes hacía soltar la presa.
17 I broke the jaws of the unrighteous and plucked the prey out of his teeth.
18 And I say, I expire with my nest, || And I multiply days as the sand.
18 Y decía yo: En mi nido moriré, y como arena multiplicaré días.
18 Then I said, ‘I will die in my own house, I will count my days as the sand.
19 My root is open to the waters, || And dew lodges on my branch.
19 Mi raíz estaba abierta junto á las aguas, y en mis ramas permanecía el rocío.
19 My root is spread out to the waters. The dew lies all night on my branch.
20 My glory [is] fresh with me, || And my bow is renewed in my hand.
20 Mi honra se renovaba en mí, y mi arco se corroboraba en mi mano.
20 My glory is fresh in me. My bow is renewed in my hand.’
21 They have listened to me, || Indeed, they wait, and are silent for my counsel.
21 Oíanme, y esperaban; y callaban á mi consejo.
21 “Men listened to me, waited, and kept silence for my counsel.
22 After my word they do not change, || And my speech drops on them,
22 Tras mi palabra no replicaban, y mi razón destilaba sobre ellos.
22 After my words they didn’t speak again. My speech fell on them.
23 And they wait for me as [for] rain, || And they have opened wide their mouth || [As] for the spring rain.
23 Y esperábanme como á la lluvia, y abrían su boca [como] á la lluvia tardía.
23 They waited for me as for the rain. Their mouths drank as with the spring rain.
24 I laugh at them—they give no credence, || And do not cause the light of my face to fall.
24 Si me reía con ellos, no lo creían: y no abatían la luz de mi rostro.
24 I smiled on them when they had no confidence. They didn’t reject the light of my face.
25 I choose their way, and sit [as] head, || And I dwell as a king in a troop, || When he comforts mourners.”
25 Calificaba yo el camino de ellos, y sentábame en cabecera; y moraba como rey en el ejército, como el que consuela llorosos.
25 I chose out their way, and sat as chief. I lived as a king in the army, as one who comforts the mourners.
