LXX Brenton's Greek Septuagint
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Οὐ μὴν δὲ ἀλλὰ ἄκουσου Ἰὼβ τὰ ῥήματά μου, καὶ λαλιὰν ἐνωτίζου μου.
1 POR tanto, Job, oye ahora mis razones, y escucha todas mis palabras.
1 “However, Job, please hear my speech, and listen to all my words.
2 γὰρ ἤνοιξα τὸ στόμα μου, καὶ ἐλάλησεν ἡ γλῶσσά μου.
2 He aquí yo abriré ahora mi boca, y mi lengua hablará en mi garganta.
2 See now, I have opened my mouth. My tongue has spoken in my mouth.
3 Καθαρά μου ἡ καρδία ῥήμασι, σύνεσις δὲ χειλέων μου καθαρὰ νοήσει.
3 Mis razones [declararán] la rectitud de mi corazón, y mis labios proferirán pura sabiduría.
3 My words will utter the uprightness of my heart. That which my lips know they will speak sincerely.
4 Πνεῦμα θεῖον τὸ ποιῆσάν με, πνοὴ δὲ παντοκράτορος ἡ διδάσκουσά με.
4 El espíritu de Dios me hizo, y la inspiración del Omnipotente me dió vida.
4 The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
5 Ἐὰν δύνῃ, δός μοι ἀπόκρισιν, πρὸς ταῦτα ὑπόμεινον, στῆθι κατʼ ἐμὲ, καὶ ἐγὼ κατὰ σέ.
5 Si pudieres, respóndeme; dispón [tus palabras], está delante de mí.
5 If you can, answer me. Set your words in order before me, and stand up.
6 Ἐκ πηλοῦ διήρτισαι σὺ ὡς καὶ ἐγὼ, ἐκ τοῦ αὐτοῦ διηρτίσμεθα.
6 Heme aquí á mí en lugar de Dios, conforme á tu dicho: de lodo soy yo también formado.
6 Behold, I am toward God even as you are. I am also formed out of the clay.
7 Οὐχ ὁ φόβος μου σὲ στροβήσει, οὐδὲ ἡ χείρ μου βαρεῖα ἔσται ἐπὶ σοί.
7 He aquí que mi terror no te espantará, ni mi mano se agravará sobre ti.
7 Behold, my terror will not make you afraid, neither will my pressure be heavy on you.
8 Πλὴν εἶπας ἐν ὠσί μου· φωνὴν ῥημάτων σου ἀκήκοα·
8 De cierto tú dijiste á oídos míos, y yo oí la voz de tus palabras [que decían]:
8 “Surely you have spoken in my hearing, I have heard the voice of your words, saying,
9 διότι λέγεις, καθαρός εἰμι οὐχ ἁμαρτών, ἄμεμπτός εἰμι, οὐ γὰρ ἠνόμησα·
9 Yo soy limpio y sin defecto; y soy inocente, y no hay maldad en mí.
9 ‘I am clean, without disobedience. I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me.
10 Μέμψιν δὲ κατʼ ἐμοῦ εὗρεν· ἥγηται δέ με ὥσπερ ὑπεναντίον.
10 He aquí que él buscó achaques contra mí, y me tiene por su enemigo;
10 Behold, he finds occasions against me. He counts me for his enemy.
11 Ἔθετο δὲ ἐν ξύλῳ τὸν πόδα μου, ἐφύλαξε δέ μου πάσας τὰς ὁδούς.
11 Puso mis pies en el cepo, y guardó todas mis sendas.
11 He puts my feet in the stocks. He marks all my paths.’
12 Πῶς γὰρ λέγεις, δίκαιός εἰμι, καὶ οὐκ ἐπακήκοέ μου; αἰώνιος γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ἐπάνω βροτῶν.
12 He aquí en esto no has hablado justamente: yo te responderé que mayor es Dios que el hombre.
12 “Behold, I will answer you. In this you are not just, for God is greater than man.
13 Λέγεις δέ, διατί τῆς δίκης μου οὐκ ἐπακήκοέ μου πᾶν ῥῆμα;
13 ¿Por qué tomaste pleito contra él? Porque él no da cuenta de ninguna de sus razones.
13 Why do you strive against him, because he doesn’t give account of any of his matters?
14 Ἐν γὰρ τῷ ἅπαξ λαλήσαι ὁ Κύριος, ἐν δὲ τῷ δευτέρῳ.
14 Sin embargo, en una ó en dos [maneras] habla Dios; [mas el hombre] no entiende.
14 For God speaks once, yes twice, though man pays no attention.
15 ἐνύπνιον ἢ ἐν μελέτῃ νυκτερινῇ, ὡς ὅταν ἐπιπίπτῃ δεινὸς φόβος ἐπʼ ἀνθρώπους, ἐπὶ νυσταγμάτων ἐπὶ κοίτης·
15 Por sueño de visión nocturna, cuando el sueño cae sobre los hombres, cuando se adormecen sobre el lecho;
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, in slumbering on the bed,
16 Τότε ἀνακαλύπτει νοῦν ἀνθρώπων, ἐν εἴδεσι φόβου τοιούτοις αὐτοὺς ἐξεφόβησεν.
16 Entonces revela al oído de los hombres, y les señala su consejo;
16 then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,
17 Ἀποστρέψαι ἄνθρωπον ἀπὸ ἀδικίας, τὸ δὲ σῶμα αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ πτώματος ἐῤῥύσατο.
17 Para quitar al hombre de [su] obra, y apartar del varón la soberbia.
17 that he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18 Ἐφείσατο δὲ τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ θανάτου, καὶ μὴ πεσεῖν αὐτὸν ἐν πολέμῳ.
18 Detendrá su alma de corrupción, y su vida de que pase á cuchillo.
18 He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
19 Πάλιν δὲ ἤλεγξεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ μαλακίᾳ ἐπὶ κοίτης, καὶ πλῆθος ὀστῶν αὐτοῦ ἐνάρκησε.
19 También sobre su cama es castigado con dolor fuerte en todos sus huesos,
19 “He is chastened also with pain on his bed, with continual strife in his bones,
20 Πᾶν δὲ βρωτὸν σίτου οὐ μὴ δύνηται προσδέξασθαι, καὶ ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ βρῶσιν ἐπιθυμήσει·
20 Que le hace que su vida aborrezca el pan, y su alma la comida suave.
20 so that his life abhors bread, and his soul dainty food.
21 ἕως ἂν σαπῶσιν αὐτοῦ αἱ σάρκες, καὶ ἀποδείξῃ τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτοῦ κένα.
21 Su carne desfallece sin verse, y sus huesos, que antes no se veían, aparecen.
21 His flesh is so consumed away that it can’t be seen. His bones that were not seen stick out.
22 Ἤγγισε δὲ εἰς θάνατον ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ, ἡ δὲ ζωὴ αὐτοῦ ἐν ᾅδῃ·
22 Y su alma se acerca al sepulcro, y su vida á los que causan la muerte.
22 Yes, his soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers.
23 Ἐὰν ὦσι χιλιοι αγγελοι θανατηφόροι, εἷς αὐτῶν οὐ μὴ τρώσῃ αὐτόν· ἐὰν νοήσῃ τῇ καρδίᾳ ἐπιστραφῆναι πρὸς Κύριον, ἀναγγείλῃ δὲ ἀνθρώπῳ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ μέμψιν, τὴν δὲ ἄνοιαν αὐτοῦ δείξῃ,
23 Si tuviera cerca de él [algún] elocuente anunciador muy escogido, que anuncie al hombre su deber;
23 “If there is beside him an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him,
24 ἀνθέξεται τοῦ μὴ πεσεῖν εἰς θάνατον· ἀνανεώσει δὲ αὐτοῦ τὸ σῶμα ὥσπερ ἀλοιφὴν ἐπὶ τοίχου, τὰ δὲ ὀστᾶ αὐτοῦ ἐμπλήσει μυελοῦ·
24 Que le diga que [Dios] tuvo de él misericordia, que lo libró de descender al sepulcro, que halló redención:
24 then God is gracious to him, and says, ‘Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.’
25 Ἁπαλυνεῖ δὲ αὐτοῦ τὰς σάρκας ὥσπερ νηπίου, ἀποκαταστήσει δὲ αὐτὸν ἀνδρωθέντα ἐν ἀνθρώποις.
25 Enterneceráse su carne más que de niño, volverá á los días de su mocedad.
25 His flesh will be fresher than a child’s. He returns to the days of his youth.
26 Εὐξάμενος δὲ πρὸς Κύριον καὶ δεκτὰ αὐτῷ ἔσται, εἰσελεύσεται προσώπῳ ἱλαρῷ σὺν ἐξηγορίᾳ· ἀποδώσει δὲ ἀνθρώποις δικαιοσύνην.
26 Orará á Dios, y le amará, y verá su faz con júbilo: y él restituirá al hombre su justicia.
26 He prays to God, and he is favorable to him, so that he sees his face with joy. He restores to man his righteousness.
27 Εἶτα τότε ἀπομέμψεται ἄνθρωπος αὐτὸς ἑαυτῷ, λέγων, οἷα συνετέλουν; καὶ οὐκ ἄξια ἤτασέ με ὧν ἥμαρτον.
27 El mira sobre los hombres; y [el que] dijere: Pequé, y pervertí lo recto, y no me ha aprovechado;
27 He sings before men, and says, ‘I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it didn’t profit me.
28 Σῶσον ψυχήν μου τοῦ μὴ ἐλθεῖν εἰς διαφθορὰν, καὶ ἡ ζωή μου φῶς ὄψεται.
28 [Dios] redimirá su alma, que no pase al sepulcro, y su vida se verá en luz.
28 He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit. My life will see the light.’
29 Ἰδοὺ ταῦτα πάντα ἐργᾶται ὁ ἰσχυρὸς ὁδοὺς τρεῖς μετὰ ἀνδρός.
29 He aquí, todas estas cosas hace Dios dos y tres veces con el hombre;
29 “Behold, God does all these things, twice, yes three times, with a man,
30 Καὶ ἐῤῥύσατο τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ θανάτου, ἵνα ἡ ζωή μου ἐν φωτὶ αἰνῇ αὐτόν.
30 Para apartar su alma del sepulcro, y para iluminarlo con la luz de los vivientes.
30 to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
31 Ἐνωτίζου Ἰὼβ καὶ ἄκουέ μου· κώφευσον, καὶ ἐγώ εἰμι λαλήσω.
31 Escucha, Job, y óyeme; calla, y yo hablaré.
31 Mark well, Job, and listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will speak.
32 Εἰ εἰσί σοι λόγοι, ἀποκρίθητί μοι· λάλησον, θέλω γὰρ δικαιωθῆναί σε.
32 Que si tuvieres razones, respóndeme: habla, porque yo te quiero justificar.
32 If you have anything to say, answer me. Speak, for I desire to justify you.
33 Εἰ μὴ, σὺ ἄκουσόν μου, κώφευσον καὶ διδάξω σε.
33 Y si no, óyeme tú á mí; calla, y enseñarte he sabiduría.
33 If not, listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom.”

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

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).

    Job, too, says, The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
