WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ἐλιφὰζ ὁ Θαιμανίτης, λέγει,

1 Y RESPONDIÓ Eliphaz Temanita, y dijo:

1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,

2 Πότερον σοφὸς ἀπόκρισιν δώσει συνέσεως πνεῦμα, καὶ ἐνέπλησε πόνον γαστρὸς,

2 ¿Si proferirá el sabio vana sabiduría, y henchirá su vientre de viento solano?

2 “Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge, and fill himself with the east wind?

3 ἐλέγχων ἐν ῥήμασιν οἷς οὐ δεῖ, καὶ ἐν λόγοις οἷς οὐδὲν ὄφελος;

3 ¿Disputará con palabras inútiles, y con razones sin provecho?

3 Should he reason with unprofitable talk, or with speeches with which he can do no good?

4 Οὐ καὶ σὺ ἀπεποιήσω φόβον, συνετελέσω δὲ ῥήματα τοιαῦτα ἔναντι τοῦ Κυρίου;

4 Tú también disipas el temor, y menoscabas la oración delante de Dios.

4 Yes, you do away with fear, and hinder devotion before God.

5 Ἔνοχος εἶ ῥήμασι στόματός σου, οὐδὲ διέκρινας ῥήματα δυναστῶν.

5 Porque tu boca declaró tu iniquidad, pues has escogido el hablar de los astutos.

5 For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the language of the crafty.

6 Ἐλέγξαι σε τὸ σὸν στόμα καὶ μὴ ἐγὼ, τὰ δὲ χείλη σου καταμαρτυρήσουσι σου.

6 Tu boca te condenará, y no yo; y tus labios testificarán contra ti.

6 Your own mouth condemns you, and not I. Yes, your own lips testify against you.

7 Τί γάρ; μὴ πρῶτος ἀνθρώπων ἐγεννήθης; ἢ πρὸ θινῶν ἐπάγης;

7 ¿Naciste tú primero que Adam? ¿ó fuiste formado antes que los collados?

7 “Are you the first man who was born? Or were you brought out before the hills?

8 Ἢ σύνταγμα Κυρίου ἀκήκοας; ἢ συμβούλῳ σοι ἐχρήσατο ὁ Θεός; εἰς δέ σε ἀφίκετο σοφία;

8 ¿Oíste tú el secreto de Dios, que detienes en ti solo la sabiduría?

8 Have you heard the secret counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?

9 Τί γὰρ οἶδας, ὃ οὐκ οἴδαμεν; ἢ τί συνίεις σὺ, ὃ οὐ καὶ ἡμεῖς;

9 ¿Qué sabes tú que no sepamos? ¿qué entiendes que no se halle en nosotros?

9 What do you know that we don’t know? What do you understand which is not in us?

10 Καί γε πρεσβύτης καί γε παλαιὸς ἐν ἡμῖν, βαρύτερος τοῦ πατρός σου ἡμέραις.

10 Entre nosotros también hay cano, también hay viejo mucho mayor en días que tu padre.

10 With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men, much older than your father.

11 Ὀλίγα ὧν ἡμάρτηκας μεμαστίγωσαι, μεγάλως ὑπερβαλλόντως λελάληκας.

11 ¿En tan poco tienes las consolaciones de Dios? ¿tienes acaso alguna cosa oculta cerca de ti?

11 Are the consolations of God too small for you, even the word that is gentle toward you?

12 Τί ἐτόλμησεν ἡ καρδία σου; ἢ τί ἐπήνεγκαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου,

12 ¿Por qué te enajena tu corazón, y por qué guiñan tus ojos,

12 Why does your heart carry you away? Why do your eyes flash,

13 ὅτι θυμὸν ἔῤῥηξας ἔναντι Κυρίου, ἐξήγαγες δὲ ἐκ στόματος ῥήματα τοιαῦτα;

13 Pues haces frente á Dios con tu espíritu, y sacas [tales] palabras de tu boca?

13 that you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth?

14 Τίς γὰρ ὢν βροτὸς, ὅτι ἔσται ἅμεμπτος; ἢ ὡς ἐσόμενος δίκαιος γεννητὸς γυναικός;

14 ¿Qué cosa es el hombre para que sea limpio, y que se justifique el nacido de mujer?

14 What is man, that he should be clean? What is he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

15 Εἰ κατὰ ἁγίων οὐ πιστεύει, οὐρανὸς δὲ οὐ καθαρὸς ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ.

15 He aquí que en sus santos no confía, y ni los cielos son limpios delante de sus ojos:

15 Behold, he puts no trust in his holy ones. Yes, the heavens are not clean in his sight;

16 Ἔα δὲ ἐβδελυγμένος καὶ ἀκάθαρτος ἀνὴρ, πίνων ἀδικίας ἶσα ποτῷ.

16 ¿Cuánto menos el hombre abominable y vil, que bebe la iniquidad como agua?

16 how much less one who is abominable and corrupt, a man who drinks iniquity like water!

17 Ἀναγγελῶ δέ σοι, ἄκουέ μου, ἃ δὴ ἑώρακα, ἀναγγελῶ σοι,

17 Escúchame; yo te mostraré y te contaré lo que he visto:

17 “I will show you, listen to me; that which I have seen I will declare

18 ἃ σοφοὶ ἐροῦσι, καὶ οὐκ ἔκρυψαν πατέρες αὐτῶν.

18 (Lo que los sabios nos contaron de sus padres, y no lo encubrieron;

18 (which wise men have told by their fathers, and have not hidden it;

19 Αὐτοῖς μόνοις ἐδόθη ἡ γῆ, καὶ οὐκ ἐπῆλθεν ἀλλογενὴς ἐπʼ αὐτούς.

19 A los cuales solos fué dada la tierra, y no pasó extraño por medio de ellos:)

19 to whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed among them):

20 Πᾶς ὁ βίος ἀσεβοῦς ἐν φροντίδι, ἔτη δὲ ἀριθμητὰ δεδομένα δυνάστῃ.

20 Todos los días del impío, él es atormentado de dolor, y el número de años es escondido al violento.

20 the wicked man writhes in pain all his days, even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.

21 Ὁ δὲ φόβος αὐτοῦ ἐν ὠσὶν αὐτοῦ· ὅταν δοκῇ ἤδη εἰρηνεύειν, ἥξει αὐτοῦ ἡ καταστροφή.

21 Estruendos espantosos hay en sus oídos; en la paz le vendrá quien lo asuele.

21 A sound of terrors is in his ears. In prosperity the destroyer will come on him.

22 Μὴ πιστευέτω ἀποστραφῆναι ἀπὸ σκότους, ἐντέταλται γὰρ ἤδη εἰς χεῖρας σιδήρου,

22 El no creerá que ha de volver de las tinieblas, y está mirando al cuchillo.

22 He doesn’t believe that he will return out of darkness. He is waited for by the sword.

23 κατατέτακται δὲ εἰς σῖτα γυψίν· οἶδε δὲ ἐν ἑαυτῷ ὅτι μένει εἰς πτῶμα· ἡμέρα δὲ σκοτεινὴ αὐτὸν στροβήσει,

23 Desasosegado á comer siempre, sabe que le está aparejado día de tinieblas.

23 He wanders abroad for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’ He knows that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.

24 ἀνάγκη δὲ καὶ θλίψις αὐτὸν καθέξει, ὥσπερ στρατηγὸς πρωτοστάτης πίπτων·

24 Tribulación y angustia le asombrarán, y esforzaránse contra él como un rey apercibido para la batalla.

24 Distress and anguish make him afraid. They prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.

25 Ὅτι ᾖρκε χεῖρας ἐναντίον τοῦ Κυρίου, ἔναντι δὲ Κυρίου παντοκράτορος ἐτραχηλίασεν.

25 Por cuanto él extendió su mano contra Dios, y se esforzó contra el Todopoderoso,

25 Because he has stretched out his hand against God, and behaves himself proudly against the Almighty,

26 Ἔδραμε δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ὕβρει, ἐν πάχει νώτου ἀσπίδος αὐτοῦ.

26 El le acometerá en la cerviz, en lo grueso de las hombreras de sus escudos:

26 he runs at him with a stiff neck, with the thick shields of his bucklers,

27 Ὅτι ἐκάλυψε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐν στέατι αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐποίησε περιστόμιον ἐπὶ τῶν μηρίων.

27 Porque cubrió su rostro con su gordura, é hizo pliegues sobre los ijares;

27 because he has covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat on his thighs.

28 Αὐλισθείη δὲ πόλεις ἐρήμους, εἰσέλθοι δὲ εἰς οἴκους ἀοικήτους· ἃ δὲ ἐκεῖνοι ἡτοίμασαν, ἄλλοι ἀποίσονται.

28 Y habitó las ciudades asoladas, las casas inhabitadas, que estaban puestas en montones.

28 He has lived in desolate cities, in houses which no one inhabited, which were ready to become heaps.

29 Οὔτε μὴ πλουτισθῇ, οὔτε μὴ μείνῃ αὐτοῦ τὰ ὑπάρχοντα· οὐ μὴ βάλῃ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν σκιὰν,

29 No enriquecerá, ni será firme su potencia, ni extenderá por la tierra su hermosura.

29 He will not be rich, neither will his substance continue, neither will their possessions be extended on the earth.

30 οὐδὲ μὴ ἐκφύγῃ τὸ σκότος· τὸν βλαστὸν αὐτοῦ μαράναι ἄνεμος, ἐκπέσοι δὲ αὐτοῦ τὸ ἄνθος.

30 No se escapará de las tinieblas: la llama secará sus ramos, y con el aliento de su boca perecerá.

30 He will not depart out of darkness. The flame will dry up his branches. He will go away by the breath of God’s mouth.

31 Μὴ πιστευέτω ὅτι ὑπομενεῖ, κενὰ γὰρ ἀποβήσεται αὐτῷ.

31 No confíe el iluso en la vanidad; porque ella será su recompensa.

31 Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself, for emptiness will be his reward.

32 Ἡ τομὴ αὐτοῦ πρὸ ὥρας φθαρήσεται, καὶ ὁ ῥάδαμνος αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ πυκάσῃ.

32 El será cortado antes de su tiempo, y sus renuevos no reverdecerán.

32 It will be accomplished before his time. His branch will not be green.

33 Τρυγηθείη δὲ ὡς ὄμφαξ πρὸ ὥρας, ἐκπέσοι δὲ ὡς ἄνθος ἐλαίας.

33 El perderá su agraz como la vid, y derramará su flor como la oliva.

33 He will shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and will cast off his flower as the olive tree.

34 Μαρτύριον γὰρ ἀσεβοῦς θάνατος· πῦρ δὲ καύσει οἴκους δωροδεκτῶν·

34 Porque la sociedad de los hipócritas será asolada, y fuego consumirá las tiendas de soborno.

34 For the company of the godless will be barren, and fire will consume the tents of bribery.

35 Ἐν γαστρὶ δὲ λήψεται ὀδύνας, ἀποβήσεται δὲ αὐτῷ κενὰ, ἡ δὲ κοιλία αὐτοῦ ὑποίσει δόλον.

35 Concibieron dolor, y parieron iniquidad; y las entrañas de ellos meditan engaño.

35 They conceive mischief and produce iniquity. Their heart prepares deceit.”

What the Fathers said

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

Quotes verse 15:26 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book VII, Chapters VII–IX)
But when I lifted myself proudly against Thee, and "ran against the Lord, even on His neck, with the thick bosses" of my buckler, even these inferior things were placed above me, and pressed upon me, and nowhere was there alleviation or breathing space.

… the Lord;" for enantion means both "before" and "against." In the Psalm this word is rendered, "Let us weep before the Lord our Maker." The same word occurs in the book of Job, where it is written, "Thou hast broken into fury against the Lord." And so this giant is to be recognized as a "hunter against the Lord." And …
