Job 30 Majority Standard Bible
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 “But now they mock me, men younger than I am, whose fathers I would have refused to put with my sheep dogs.
1 MAS ahora los más mozos de días que yo, se ríen de mí; cuyos padres yo desdeñara ponerlos con los perros de mi ganado.
2 What use to me was the strength of their hands, since their vigor had left them?
2 Porque ¿para qué yo habría menester la fuerza de sus manos, en los cuales había perecido con el tiempo?
3 Gaunt from poverty and hunger, they gnawed the dry land, and the desolate wasteland by night.
3 Por causa de la pobreza y del hambre [andaban] solos; huían á la soledad, á lugar tenebroso, asolado y desierto.
4 They plucked mallow among the shrubs, and the roots of the broom tree were their food.
4 Que cogían malvas entre los arbustos, y raíces de enebro para calentarse.
5 They were banished from among men, shouted at like thieves,
5 Eran echados de entre [las gentes], y todos les daban grita como al ladrón.
6 so that they lived on the slopes of the wadis, among the rocks and in holes in the ground.
6 Habitaban en las barrancas de los arroyos, en las cavernas de la tierra, y en las rocas.
7 They cried out among the shrubs and huddled beneath the nettles.
7 Bramaban entre las matas, y se reunían debajo de las espinas.
8 A senseless and nameless brood, they were driven off the land.
8 Hijos de viles, y hombres sin nombre, más bajos que la misma tierra.
9 And now they mock me in song; I have become a byword among them.
9 Y ahora yo soy su canción, y he sido hecho su refrán.
10 They abhor me and keep far from me; they do not hesitate to spit in my face.
10 Abomínanme, aléjanse de mí, y aun de mi rostro no detuvieron su saliva.
11 Because God has unstrung my bow and afflicted me, they have cast off restraint in my presence.
11 Porque [Dios] desató mi cuerda, y me afligió, por eso se desenfrenaron delante de mi rostro.
12 The rabble arises at my right; they lay snares for my feet and build siege ramps against me.
12 A la mano derecha se levantaron los jóvenes; empujaron mis pies, y sentaron contra mí las vías de su ruina.
13 They tear up my path; they profit from my destruction, with no one to restrain them.
13 Mi senda desbarataron, aprovecháronse de mi quebrantamiento, contra los cuales no hubo ayudador.
14 They advance as through a wide breach; through the ruins they keep rolling in.
14 Vinieron como por portillo ancho, revolviéronse á [mi] calamidad.
15 Terrors are turned loose against me; they drive away my dignity as by the wind, and my prosperity has passed like a cloud.
15 Hanse revuelto turbaciones sobre mí; combatieron como viento mi alma, y mi salud pasó como nube.
16 And now my soul is poured out within me; days of affliction grip me.
16 Y ahora mi alma está derramada en mí; días de aflicción me han aprehendido.
17 Night pierces my bones, and my gnawing pains never rest.
17 De noche taladra sobre mí mis huesos, y mis pulsos no reposan.
18 With great force He grasps my garment; He seizes me by the collar of my tunic.
18 Con la grande copia [de materia] mi vestidura está demudada; cíñeme como el cuello de mi túnica.
19 He throws me into the mud, and I have become like dust and ashes.
19 Derribóme en el lodo, y soy semejante al polvo y á la ceniza.
20 I cry out to You for help, but You do not answer; when I stand up, You merely look at me.
20 Clamo á ti, y no me oyes; preséntome, y no me atiendes.
21 You have ruthlessly turned on me; You oppose me with Your strong hand.
21 Haste tornado cruel para mí: con la fortaleza de tu mano me amenazas.
22 You snatch me up into the wind and drive me before it; You toss me about in the storm.
22 Levantásteme, é hicísteme cabalgar sobre el viento, y disolviste mi sustancia.
23 Yes, I know that You will bring me down to death, to the place appointed for all the living.
23 Porque yo conozco que me reduces á la muerte; y á la casa determinada á todo viviente.
24 Yet no one stretches out his hand against a ruined man when he cries for help in his distress.
24 Mas él no extenderá la mano contra el sepulcro; ¿clamarán [los sepultados] cuando él los quebrantare?
25 Have I not wept for those in trouble? Has my soul not grieved for the needy?
25 ¿No lloré yo al afligido? Y mi alma ¿no se entristeció sobre el menesteroso?
26 But when I hoped for good, evil came; when I looked for light, darkness fell.
26 Cuando esperaba yo el bien, entonces vino el mal; y cuando esperaba luz, la oscuridad vino.
27 I am churning within and cannot rest; days of affliction confront me.
27 Mis entrañas hierven, y no reposan; días de aflicción me han sobrecogido.
28 I go about blackened, but not by the sun. I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.
28 Denegrido ando, y no por el sol: levantádome he en la congregación, y clamado.
29 I have become a brother of jackals, a companion of ostriches.
29 He venido á ser hermano de los dragones, y compañero de los buhos.
30 My skin grows black and peels, and my bones burn with fever.
30 Mi piel está denegrida sobre mí, y mis huesos se secaron con ardentía.
31 My harp is tuned to mourning and my flute to the sound of weeping.
31 Y hase tornado mi arpa en luto, y mi órgano en voz de lamentadores.
