WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Respuesta de Zofar de Namat:
1 Then Zophar the Naamathite answered,
2 «Me apresuro a responder, pues tengo la contestación para ti:
2 “Therefore my thoughts answer me, even by reason of my haste that is in me.
3 Has tratado de hacerme avergonzar de mí mismo por llamarte pecador, pero mi espíritu no me permite detenerme.
3 I have heard the reproof which puts me to shame. The spirit of my understanding answers me.
4 »Bien sabes tú que desde antaño, desde que Dios puso al hombre en la tierra,
4 Don’t you know this from old time, since man was placed on earth,
5 el triunfo del malvado ha sido breve, y efímero el gozo del impío.
5 that the triumphing of the wicked is short, the joy of the godless but for a moment?
6 Aunque el impío sea altivo como los cielos y ande con la nariz levantada,
6 Though his height mount up to the heavens, and his head reach to the clouds,
7 perecerá para siempre, arrojado como su propio excremento. Quienes lo conocieron se preguntarán adónde habrá ido a parar.
7 yet he will perish forever like his own dung. Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’
8 Se esfumará como un sueño.
8 He will fly away as a dream, and will not be found. Yes, he will be chased away like a vision of the night.
9 Ni sus amigos ni su familia lo volverán a ver jamás.
9 The eye which saw him will see him no more, neither will his place see him any more.
10 Sus hijos tendrán que resarcir a los pobres; con duro trabajo pagarán ellos lo que él robó.
10 His children will seek the favor of the poor. His hands will give back his wealth.
11 En plena juventud, sus huesos irán al polvo.
11 His bones are full of his youth, but youth will lie down with him in the dust.
12 »Disfrutó la delicia de su maldad derritiéndola en su boca,
12 “Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue,
13 sorbiéndola lentamente para que no se consumiera.
13 though he spare it, and will not let it go, but keep it still within his mouth,
14 Pero repentinamente los manjares que ha comido se le agrian en su interior.
14 yet his food in his bowels is turned. It is cobra venom within him.
15 Vomitará los despojos que tragó, Dios no le permitirá que los retenga.
15 He has swallowed down riches, and he will vomit them up again. God will cast them out of his belly.
16 Para él son veneno y muerte.
16 He will suck cobra venom. The viper’s tongue will kill him.
17 No disfrutará de los arroyos de aceite y los torrentes de miel y requesón que robó.
17 He will not look at the rivers, the flowing streams of honey and butter.
18 Sus esfuerzos no tendrán recompensa; la riqueza no le dará dicha.
18 He will restore that for which he labored, and will not swallow it down. He will not rejoice according to the substance that he has gotten.
19 Por cuanto ha oprimido a los pobres y se robó la casa que no construyó, jamás se repondrá.
19 For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor. He has violently taken away a house, and he will not build it up.
20 »Aunque siempre fue codicioso, ahora no tiene nada; de todo cuanto soñó, nada le queda.
20 “Because he knew no quietness within him, he will not save anything of that in which he delights.
21 Por cuanto nada escapó de su voracidad, su bienestar no será duradero.
21 There was nothing left that he didn’t devour, therefore his prosperity will not endure.
22 »Cuando esté en la cumbre de su poderío, se meterá en dificultades; todos los malvados lo destruirán.
22 In the fullness of his sufficiency, distress will overtake him. The hand of everyone who is in misery will come on him.
23 Cuando esté a punto de llenarse el estómago, Dios derramará su ira sobre él,
23 When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath on him. It will rain on him while he is eating.
24 será perseguido y derribado.
24 He will flee from the iron weapon. The bronze arrow will strike him through.
25 Le sacarán del cuerpo la flecha, cuya punta reluciente goteará bilis. Terrores de muerte lo asaltarán.
25 He draws it out, and it comes out of his body. Yes, the glittering point comes out of his liver. Terrors are on him.
26 Sus tesoros se perderán en la más profunda oscuridad. Un fuego rugiente tragará sus bienes, consumiendo cuanto ha dejado.
26 All darkness is laid up for his treasures. An unfanned fire will devour him. It will consume that which is left in his tent.
27 Los cielos revelarán sus pecados y la tierra dará testimonio en su contra.
27 The heavens will reveal his iniquity. The earth will rise up against him.
28 Su riqueza desaparecerá bajo la ira de Dios.
28 The increase of his house will depart. They will rush away in the day of his wrath.
29 Este es el fin que Dios reserva al malvado, tal es la herencia que le asignó».
29 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, the heritage appointed to him by God.”
