1 Respuesta de Job:
1 Then Job answered,
2 «Escúchenme; déjenme hablar, y luego sigan con sus burlas.
2 “Listen diligently to my speech. Let this be your consolation.
3 Not in this translation
3 Allow me, and I also will speak. After I have spoken, mock on.
4 »De Dios me quejo, y no del hombre. Con razón tengo el espíritu tan atribulado:
4 As for me, is my complaint to man? Why shouldn’t I be impatient?
5 Mírenme horrorizados y tápense la boca con la mano.
5 Look at me, and be astonished. Lay your hand on your mouth.
6 Hasta yo me asusto al verme, el horror se apodera de mí, y me estremezco.
6 When I remember, I am troubled. Horror takes hold of my flesh.
7 La verdad es que los malos llegan a una agradable ancianidad, se engrandecen y se hacen poderosos.
7 “Why do the wicked live, become old, yes, and grow mighty in power?
8 Alcanzan a ver a sus hijos convertidos en hombres en torno suyo, así como a sus nietos.
8 Their child is established with them in their sight, their offspring before their eyes.
9 Sus casas están a salvo de todo temor, y Dios no los castiga.
9 Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.
10 Su ganado se reproduce,
10 Their bulls breed without fail. Their cows calve, and don’t miscarry.
11 tienen muchos hijos felices
11 They send out their little ones like a flock. Their children dance.
12 y pasan el tiempo entre cantos y danzas. Nadan en riquezas y de nada tienen que privarse; son afortunados hasta el final.
12 They sing to the tambourine and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the pipe.
13 Not in this translation
13 They spend their days in prosperity. In an instant they go down to Sheol.
14 Todo esto no obstante que han expulsado a Dios de su vida, y no quieren nada con él ni con lo que manda.
14 They tell God, ‘Depart from us, for we don’t want to know about your ways.
15 “¿Quién es el Dios Todopoderoso?”, dicen burlándose. “¿Por qué tenemos que obedecerlo? ¿Qué ganaremos con eso?”.
15 What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? What profit should we have, if we pray to him?’
16 Miren, ¡cuanto el rico toca se convierte en oro! Pero yo me niego a tratar siquiera con gente así.
16 Behold, their prosperity is not in their hand. The counsel of the wicked is far from me.
17 »Sin embargo, los ricos se quedan tan campantes como siempre. Jamás tienen tribulaciones, y Dios se olvida de ellos al distribuir sus dolores y su ira.
17 “How often is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out, that their calamity comes on them, that God distributes sorrows in his anger?
18 ¿Son arrastrados como paja por el viento? ¿Los arrasa la tormenta? ¡Jamás!
18 How often is it that they are as stubble before the wind, as chaff that the storm carries away?
19 “Bueno”, dirán ustedes, “por lo menos a sus hijos los castiga Dios”. ¡Pero yo digo que Dios debe castigar al que peca y no a los hijos de este! Que sienta el castigo en su propia carne.
19 You say, ‘God lays up his iniquity for his children.’ Let him recompense it to himself, that he may know it.
20 Sí, que sea destruido por su maldad. Que beba bastante de la ira del Todopoderoso,
20 Let his own eyes see his destruction. Let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
21 porque cuando esté muerto, ¿qué más le da lo que le pase a su familia?
21 For what does he care for his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off?
22 »Pero, ¿quién podrá reprender a Dios, el supremo juez?
22 “Shall any teach God knowledge, since he judges those who are high?
23 Él destruye a los sanos, ricos, y prósperos.
23 One dies in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.
24 Not in this translation
24 His pails are full of milk. The marrow of his bones is moistened.
25 Dios destruye también a los que padecen espantosa miseria y jamás poseyeron bien alguno.
25 Another dies in bitterness of soul, and never tastes of good.
26 Unos y otros son sepultados en el mismo polvo; devorados por los mismos gusanos.
26 They lie down alike in the dust. The worm covers them.
27 »Sé muy bien lo que están pensando, y los planes que tienen de hacerme daño.
27 “Behold, I know your thoughts, the plans with which you would wrong me.
28 También sé que se preguntan: “¿Dónde está la mansión del potentado? ¿Dónde están las moradas de los inicuos?”.
28 For you say, ‘Where is the house of the prince? Where is the tent in which the wicked lived?’
29 Pero yo respondo: pregúntenle a cualquiera que tenga experiencia y él les dirá la verdad:
29 Haven’t you asked wayfaring men? Don’t you know their evidences,
30 que al malvado suele eximírsele en el día de la calamidad, y permitírsele que huya. Nadie lo reprende en público. Nadie le da su merecido. Y una guardia de honor le rinde homenaje en su tumba.
30 that the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity, that they are led out to the day of wrath?
31 Not in this translation
31 Who will declare his way to his face? Who will repay him what he has done?
32 Not in this translation
32 Yet he will be borne to the grave. Men will keep watch over the tomb.
33 Un gran cortejo fúnebre lo precede y lo sigue cuando lo conducen a la mullida tierra que lo ha de cubrir.
33 The clods of the valley will be sweet to him. All men will draw after him, as there were innumerable before him.
34 »¿Cómo pueden ustedes consolarme con palabras tan faltas de fundamento?».
34 So how can you comfort me with nonsense, because in your answers there remains only falsehood?”
