1 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
1 Y RESPONDIÓ Eliphaz el Temanita, y dijo:
2 If one assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?
2 Si probáremos á hablarte, serte ha molesto; mas ¿quién podrá detener las palabras?
3 Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.
3 He aquí, tú enseñabas á muchos, y las manos flacas corroborabas;
4 Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast confirmed the feeble knees.
4 Al que vacilaba, enderezaban tus palabras, y esforzabas las rodillas que decaían.
5 But now it is come unto thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
5 Mas ahora que [el mal] sobre ti ha venido, te es duro; y cuando ha llegado hasta ti, te turbas.
6 Is not thy fear [of God ]thy confidence, [and ]thy hope the integrity of thy ways?
6 ¿Es este tu temor, tu confianza, tu esperanza, y la perfección de tus caminos?
7 Remember, I pray thee, who [ever ]perished, being innocent? or where were the upright cut off?
7 Recapacita ahora, ¿quién que fuera inocente se perdiera? y ¿en dónde los rectos fueron cortados?
8 According as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow trouble, reap the same.
8 Como yo he visto, los que aran iniquidad y siembran injuria, la siegan.
9 By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of his anger are they consumed.
9 Perecen por el aliento de Dios, y por el espíritu de su furor son consumidos.
10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
10 El bramido del león, y la voz del león, y los dientes de los leoncillos son quebrantados.
11 The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the whelps of the lioness are scattered abroad.
11 El león viejo perece por falta de presa, y los hijos del león son esparcidos.
12 Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a whisper thereof.
12 El negocio también me era á mí oculto; mas mi oído ha percibido algo de ello.
13 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,
13 En imaginaciones de visiones nocturnas, cuando el sueño cae sobre los hombres,
14 Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
14 Sobrevínome un espanto y un temblor, que estremeció todos mis huesos:
15 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up.
15 Y un espíritu pasó por delante de mí, que hizo se erizara el pelo de mi carne.
16 It stood still, but I could not discern the appearance thereof; a form was before mine eyes: [there was ]silence, and I heard a voice, [saying],
16 Paróse un fantasma delante de mis ojos, cuyo rostro yo no conocí, y quedo, oí que decía:
17 Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his Maker?
17 ¿Si será el hombre más justo que Dios? ¿si será el varón más limpio que el que lo hizo?
18 Behold, he putteth no trust in his servants; and his angels he chargeth with folly:
18 He aquí que en sus siervos no confía, y notó necedad en sus ángeles;
19 How much more them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth!
19 ¡Cuánto más en los que habitan en casas de lodo, cuyo fundamento está en el polvo, y que serán quebrantados de la polilla!
20 Betwixt morning and evening they are destroyed: they perish for ever without any regarding it.
20 De la mañana á la tarde son quebrantados, y se pierden para siempre, sin haber quien lo considere.
21 Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them? they die, and that without wisdom.
21 ¿Su hermosura, no se pierde con ellos mismos? Mueren, y sin sabiduría.
