Job 30 Unlocked Literal Bible
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 Now those who are younger than I have nothing but mockery for me— these young men whose fathers I would have refused to allow to work beside the dogs of my flock.
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 Indeed, the strength of their fathers' hands, how could it have helped me— men in whom the strength of their mature age had perished?
2 Porque ¿para qué yo habría menester la fuerza de sus manos, en los cuales había perecido con el tiempo?
3 They were thin from poverty and hunger; they gnawed at the dry ground in the darkness of wilderness and desolation.
3 Por causa de la pobreza y del hambre [andaban] solos; huían á la soledad, á lugar tenebroso, asolado y desierto.
4 They plucked saltwort and bushes' leaves; 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 driven out from among people who shouted after them as one would shout after a thief.
5 Eran echados de entre [las gentes], y todos les daban grita como al ladrón.
6 So they had to live in river valleys, in holes of the earth and of the rocks.
6 Habitaban en las barrancas de los arroyos, en las cavernas de la tierra, y en las rocas.
7 Among the bushes they brayed like donkeys and they gathered together under the nettles.
7 Bramaban entre las matas, y se reunían debajo de las espinas.
8 They were the sons of fools, indeed, sons of nameless people! They were driven out of the land with whips.
8 Hijos de viles, y hombres sin nombre, más bajos que la misma tierra.
9 But now I have become the subject of their taunting song; I have become a byword for them.
9 Y ahora yo soy su canción, y he sido hecho su refrán.
10 They abhor me and stand far off from me; they do not refrain from spitting in my face.
10 Abomínanme, aléjanse de mí, y aun de mi rostro no detuvieron su saliva.
11 For God has unstrung the string to my bow and afflicted me, and those who taunt me cast off restraint before my face.
11 Porque [Dios] desató mi cuerda, y me afligió, por eso se desenfrenaron delante de mi rostro.
12 Upon my right hand rise the rabble; they drive me away and pile up against me their siege mounds.
12 A la mano derecha se levantaron los jóvenes; empujaron mis pies, y sentaron contra mí las vías de su ruina.
13 They destroy my path; they push forward disaster for me, men who have no one to hold them back.
13 Mi senda desbarataron, aprovecháronse de mi quebrantamiento, contra los cuales no hubo ayudador.
14 They come against me like an army through a wide hole in a city wall; in the midst of the destruction they roll themselves in on me.
14 Vinieron como por portillo ancho, revolviéronse á [mi] calamidad.
15 Terrors are turned upon me; my honor is driven away as if by the wind; my prosperity passes away as a cloud.
15 Hanse revuelto turbaciones sobre mí; combatieron como viento mi alma, y mi salud pasó como nube.
16 Now my life is pouring out from within me; many days of suffering have laid hold on me.
16 Y ahora mi alma está derramada en mí; días de aflicción me han aprehendido.
17 In the night my bones in me are pierced; the pains that gnaw at me take no rest.
17 De noche taladra sobre mí mis huesos, y mis pulsos no reposan.
18 God's great force has seized my clothing; it wraps around me like 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 has thrown me into the mud; I have become like dust and ashes.
19 Derribóme en el lodo, y soy semejante al polvo y á la ceniza.
20 I cry to you, God, but you do not answer me; I stand up, and you merely look at me.
20 Clamo á ti, y no me oyes; preséntome, y no me atiendes.
21 You have changed and become cruel to me; with the strength of your hand you persecute me.
21 Haste tornado cruel para mí: con la fortaleza de tu mano me amenazas.
22 You lift me up to the wind and cause it to drive me along; you throw me back and forth in a storm.
22 Levantásteme, é hicísteme cabalgar sobre el viento, y disolviste mi sustancia.
23 For I know that you will bring me to death, to the house appointed for all the living.
23 Porque yo conozco que me reduces á la muerte; y á la casa determinada á todo viviente.
24 However, does no one reach out with his hand to beg for help when he falls? Does no one in trouble call out for help?
24 Mas él no extenderá la mano contra el sepulcro; ¿clamarán [los sepultados] cuando él los quebrantare?
25 Did not I weep for him who was in trouble? Did I not grieve for the needy man?
25 ¿No lloré yo al afligido? Y mi alma ¿no se entristeció sobre el menesteroso?
26 When I hoped for good, then evil came; when I waited for light, darkness came instead.
26 Cuando esperaba yo el bien, entonces vino el mal; y cuando esperaba luz, la oscuridad vino.
27 My heart is troubled and does not rest; days of affliction have come on me.
27 Mis entrañas hierven, y no reposan; días de aflicción me han sobrecogido.
28 I have gone about like one who was living in the dark, but not because of 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 am a brother to jackals, a companion of ostriches.
29 He venido á ser hermano de los dragones, y compañero de los buhos.
30 My skin is black and falls away from me; my bones are burned with heat.
30 Mi piel está denegrida sobre mí, y mis huesos se secaron con ardentía.
31 Therefore my harp is tuned for songs of mourning, my flute for the singing of those who wail.
31 Y hase tornado mi arpa en luto, y mi órgano en voz de lamentadores.
