1 Respuesta de Job:
1 Then Job answered,
2 «Todo eso lo había escuchado antes. ¡Qué lastimosos consoladores son ustedes!
2 “I have heard many such things. You are all miserable comforters!
3 ¿Nunca van a detener la corriente de sus necias palabras? ¿Qué he dicho para provocar ese hablar interminable?
3 Shall vain words have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer?
4 Pero quizá yo podría hablar del mismo modo que ustedes si estuvieran ustedes en mi lugar. Lanzaría mis críticas contra ustedes y menearía la cabeza al mirarlos.
4 I also could speak as you do. If your soul were in my soul’s place, I could join words together against you, and shake my head at you,
5 ¡Pero no! Hablaría de modo que los ayudara. Procuraría alejar su dolor.
5 but I would strengthen you with my mouth. The solace of my lips would relieve you.
6 »Sin embargo, yo he de seguir sufriendo por mucho que me defienda, y de nada sirve negarme a hablar,
6 “Though I speak, my grief is not subsided. Though I forbear, what am I eased?
7 porque Dios me ha molido y me ha quitado mi familia.
7 But now, God, you have surely worn me out. You have made all my company desolate.
8 ¡Ay Dios, me has reducido a huesos y pellejo, según dicen, como prueba de mis pecados!
8 You have shriveled me up. This is a witness against me. My leanness rises up against me. It testifies to my face.
9 »Dios me aborrece y airadamente rasga mi carne; me ha desgarrado con sus dientes, y ha acechado para extinguir en mí toda señal de vida.
9 He has torn me in his wrath and persecuted me. He has gnashed on me with his teeth. My adversary sharpens his eyes on me.
10 La gente se mofa de mí abiertamente; burlones, me dan de bofetadas, y todos juntos se ponen en mi contra.
10 They have gaped on me with their mouth. They have struck me on the cheek reproachfully. They gather themselves together against me.
11 Y Dios me ha entregado en manos de los pecadores, en poder de los inicuos.
11 God delivers me to the ungodly, and casts me into the hands of the wicked.
12 Yo vivía tranquilo hasta que él me quebrantó. Me tomó por el cuello y me despedazó, y luego me colgó en alto para servirle de blanco.
12 I was at ease, and he broke me apart. Yes, he has taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces. He has also set me up for his target.
13 Sus arqueros me rodean y me lanzan sus flechas hasta que la sangre de mis heridas empapa la tierra.
13 His archers surround me. He splits my kidneys apart, and does not spare. He pours out my bile on the ground.
14 Me ataca sin tregua, embistiéndome como gigante.
14 He breaks me with breach on breach. He runs at me like a giant.
15 »Aquí me siento vestido con ropa de penitencia, y al polvo he arrojado toda esperanza.
15 I have sewed sackcloth on my skin, and have thrust my horn in the dust.
16 El llanto enrojece mis ojos, y en mis párpados hay sombra de muerte.
16 My face is red with weeping. Deep darkness is on my eyelids,
17 Pero soy inocente y mi plegaria es pura.
17 although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.
18 »¡Oh tierra, no ocultes mi sangre! ¡Déjala que proteste en mi nombre!
18 “Earth, don’t cover my blood. Let my cry have no place to rest.
19 Pero aun ahora el testigo de mi inocencia está allá en el cielo; mi abogado está allá en lo alto.
19 Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven. He who vouches for me is on high.
20 Mi intercesor es mi amigo, y ante él me deshago en lágrimas
20 My friends scoff at me. My eyes pour out tears to God,
21 para que interceda ante Dios a favor mío, como quien apela por su amigo.
21 that he would maintain the right of a man with God, of a son of man with his neighbor!
22 Pasarán sólo unos cuantos años antes de que yo emprenda el viaje sin regreso.
22 For when a few years have come, I will go the way of no return.
