WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
2 Ακούσατε τους λόγους μου, ω σοφοί· και δότε ακρόασιν εις εμέ, οι νοήμονες·
2 Oid, sabios, mis palabras; y vosotros, doctos, estadme atentos.
2 “Hear my words, you wise men. Give ear to me, you who have knowledge.
3 Διότι το ωτίον δοκιμάζει τους λόγους, ο δε ουρανίσκος γεύεται το φαγητόν.
3 Porque el oído prueba las palabras, como el paladar gusta para comer.
3 For the ear tries words, as the palate tastes food.
4 Ας εκλέξωμεν εις εαυτούς κρίσιν· ας γνωρίσωμεν μεταξύ ημών τι το καλόν.
4 Escojamos para nosotros el juicio, conozcamos entre nosotros cuál [sea] lo bueno:
4 Let us choose for us that which is right. Let us know among ourselves what is good.
5 Διότι ο Ιώβ είπεν, Είμαι δίκαιος· και ο Θεός αφήρεσε την κρίσιν μου·
5 Porque Job ha dicho: Yo soy justo, y Dios me ha quitado mi derecho.
5 For Job has said, ‘I am righteous, God has taken away my right.
6 εψεύσθην εις την κρίσιν μου· η πληγή μου είναι ανίατος, άνευ παραβάσεως.
6 ¿He de mentir yo contra mi razón? Mi saeta es gravosa sin [haber yo] prevaricado.
6 Notwithstanding my right I am considered a liar. My wound is incurable, though I am without disobedience.’
7 Τις άνθρωπος ως ο Ιώβ, όστις καταπίνει τον χλευασμόν ως ύδωρ·
7 ¿Qué hombre hay como Job, que bebe el escarnio como agua?
7 What man is like Job, who drinks scorn like water,
8 και υπάγει εν συνοδία μετά των εργατών της ανομίας, και περιπατεί μετά ανθρώπων ασεβών;
8 Y va en compañía con los que obran iniquidad, y anda con los hombres maliciosos.
8 who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked men?
9 Διότι είπεν, ουδέν ωφελεί τον άνθρωπον το να ευαρεστή εις τον Θεόν.
9 Porque ha dicho: De nada servirá al hombre el conformar su voluntad con Dios.
9 For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.’
10 Διά τούτο ακούσατέ μου, άνδρες συνετοί· μη γένοιτο να υπάρχη εις τον Θεόν αδικία, και εις τον Παντοδύναμον ανομία.
10 Por tanto, varones de seso, oidme: Lejos esté de Dios la impiedad, y del Omnipotente la iniquidad.
10 “Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
11 Επειδή κατά το έργον του ανθρώπου θέλει αποδώσει εις αυτόν, και θέλει κάμει έκαστον να εύρη κατά την οδόν αυτού.
11 Porque él pagará al hombre según su obra, y él le hará hallar conforme á su camino.
11 For the work of a man he will give to him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
12 Ναι, βεβαίως ο Θεός δεν θέλει πράξει ασεβώς, ουδέ θέλει διαστρέψει ο Παντοδύναμος την κρίσιν.
12 Sí, por cierto, Dios no hará injusticia, y el Omnipotente no pervertirá el derecho.
12 Yes surely, God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert justice.
13 Τις κατέστησεν αυτόν επιτηρητήν της γης; ή τις διέταξε πάσαν την οικουμένην;
13 ¿Quién visitó por él la tierra? ¿y quién puso en orden todo el mundo?
13 Who put him in charge of the earth? Or who has appointed him over the whole world?
14 Εάν βάλη την καρδίαν αυτού επί τον άνθρωπον, θέλει σύρει εις εαυτόν το πνεύμα αυτού και την πνοήν αυτού·
14 Si él pusiese sobre el [hombre] su corazón, y recogiese así su espíritu y su aliento,
14 If he set his heart on himself, if he gathered to himself his spirit and his breath,
15 πάσα σαρξ θέλει εκπνεύσει ομού, και ο άνθρωπος θέλει επιστρέψει εις το χώμα.
15 Toda carne perecería juntamente, y el hombre se tornaría en polvo.
15 all flesh would perish together, and man would turn again to dust.
16 Εάν τώρα έχης σύνεσιν· άκουσον τούτο· ακροάθητι της φωνής των λόγων μου.
16 Si pues [hay en ti] entendimiento, oye esto: escucha la voz de mis palabras.
16 “If now you have understanding, hear this. Listen to the voice of my words.
17 Μήπως κυβερνά ο μισών την ευθύτητα; και θέλεις καταδικάσει τον κατ' εξοχήν δίκαιον;
17 ¿Enseñorearáse el que aborrece juicio? ¿y condenarás tú al que es tan justo?
17 Should even one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn him who is righteous and mighty,
18 όστις λέγει προς βασιλέα, Είσαι ασεβής, προς άρχοντας, Είσθε κακοί;
18 ¿Hase de decir al rey: Perverso; y á los príncipes: Impíos?
18 who says to a king, ‘Vile!’ or to nobles, ‘Wicked!’?
19 Όστις δεν προσωποληπτεί εις άρχοντας ουδέ αποβλέπει εις τον πλούσιον μάλλον παρά εις τον πτωχόν; επειδή πάντες ούτοι είναι έργον των χειρών αυτού.
19 ¿[Cuánto menos á] aquel que no hace acepción de personas de príncipes, ni el rico es de él más respetado que el pobre? porque todos son obras de sus manos.
19 He doesn’t respect the persons of princes, nor respect the rich more than the poor, for they all are the work of his hands.
20 Εν μιά στιγμή θέλουσιν αποθάνει, και το μεσονύκτιον ο λαός θέλει ταραχθή και θέλει παρέλθει· και ο ισχυρός θέλει αναρπαχθή, ουχί υπό χειρός.
20 En un momento morirán, y á media noche se alborotarán los pueblos, y pasarán, y sin mano será quitado el poderoso.
20 In a moment they die, even at midnight. The people are shaken and pass away. The mighty are taken away without a hand.
21 Διότι οι οφθαλμοί αυτού είναι επί τας οδούς του ανθρώπου, Και βλέπει πάντα τα βήματα αυτού.
21 Porque sus ojos están sobre los caminos del hombre, y ve todos sus pasos.
21 “For his eyes are on the ways of a man. He sees all his goings.
22 Δεν είναι σκότος ουδέ σκιά θανάτου, όπου οι εργάται της ανομίας να κρυφθώσιν.
22 No hay tinieblas ni sombra de muerte donde se encubran los que obran maldad.
22 There is no darkness, nor thick gloom, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
23 Επειδή δεν θέλει αφήσει πλέον τον άνθρωπον να έλθη εις κρίσιν μετά του Θεού.
23 No carga pues él al hombre más [de lo justo], para que vaya con Dios á juicio.
23 For he doesn’t need to consider a man further, that he should go before God in judgment.
24 Θέλει συντρίψει αναριθμήτους ισχυρούς και βάλει άλλους αντ' αυτών
24 El quebrantará á los fuertes sin pesquisa, y hará estar otros en su lugar.
24 He breaks mighty men in pieces in ways past finding out, and sets others in their place.
25 διότι γνωρίζει τα έργα αυτών, και ανατρέπει αυτούς την νύκτα, και συντρίβονται.
25 Por tanto él hará notorias las obras de ellos, cuando los trastornará en la noche, y serán quebrantados.
25 Therefore he takes knowledge of their works. He overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
26 Κτυπά αυτούς ως ασεβείς εν τω τόπω των θεατών·
26 Como á malos los herirá en lugar donde sean vistos:
26 He strikes them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
27 επειδή εξέκλιναν απ' αυτού και δεν εθεώρησαν ουδεμίαν των οδών αυτού·
27 Por cuanto así se apartaron de él, y no consideraron todos sus caminos;
27 because they turned away from following him, and wouldn’t pay attention to any of his ways,
28 και έκαμον να έλθη προς αυτόν η κραυγή των πτωχών, και ήκουσε την φωνήν των τεθλιμμένων.
28 Haciendo venir delante de él el clamor del pobre, y que oiga el clamor de los necesitados.
28 so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him. He heard the cry of the afflicted.
29 Και όταν αυτός δίδη ησυχίαν, τις θέλει διαταράξει αυτήν; και όταν κρύπτη το πρόσωπον αυτού, τις δύναται να ίδη αυτόν; είτε επί έθνος είτε επί άνθρωπον ομού·
29 Y si él diere reposo, ¿quién inquietará? si escondiere el rostro, ¿quién lo mirará? [Esto] sobre una nación, y lo mismo sobre un hombre;
29 When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? When he hides his face, who then can see him? He is over a nation or a man alike,
30 ώστε να μη βασιλεύη υποκριτής, διά να μη παγιδεύηται ο λαός.
30 Haciendo que no reine el hombre hipócrita para vejaciones del pueblo.
30 that the godless man may not reign, that there be no one to ensnare the people.
31 Βεβαίως πρέπει να λέγη τις προς τον Θεόν, Έπαθον, δεν θέλω πλέον πράξει κακώς·
31 De seguro conviene se diga á Dios: Llevado he ya [castigo], no [más] ofenderé:
31 “For has any said to God, ‘I am guilty, but I will not offend any more.
32 ό,τι δεν βλέπω, συ δίδαξόν με· εάν έπραξα ανομίαν, δεν θέλω πράξει πλέον.
32 Enséñame tú lo que yo no veo: que si hice mal, no lo haré más.
32 Teach me that which I don’t see. If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more’?
33 Αλλά μήπως θέλει γείνει κατά τον στοχασμόν σου; είτε συ αποβάλης είτε εκλέξης, αυτός θέλει ανταποδώσει, και ουχί εγώ· λέγε λοιπόν ό,τι εξεύρεις.
33 ¿[Ha de ser eso] según tu mente? El te retribuirá, ora rehuses, ora aceptes, y no yo: di si no, lo que tú sabes.
33 Shall his recompense be as you desire, that you refuse it? For you must choose, and not I. Therefore speak what you know.
34 Άνδρες συνετοί θέλουσιν ειπεί προς εμέ, και ο σοφός άνθρωπος όστις με ακούει,
34 Los hombres de seso dirán conmigo, y el hombre sabio me oirá:
34 Men of understanding will tell me, yes, every wise man who hears me:
35 Ο Ιώβ δεν ελάλησεν εν γνώσει, και οι λόγοι αυτού δεν ήσαν μετά συνέσεως.
35 Que Job no habla con sabiduría, y que sus palabras no son con entendimiento.
35 ‘Job speaks without knowledge. His words are without wisdom.’
36 Η επιθυμία μου είναι, ο Ιώβ να εξετασθή έως τέλους· επειδή απεκρίθη ως οι άνθρωποι οι ασεβείς.
36 Deseo yo que Job sea probado ampliamente, á causa de sus respuestas por los hombres inicuos.
36 I wish that Job were tried to the end, because of his answering like wicked men.
37 Διότι εις την αμαρτίαν αυτού προσθέτει ασέβειαν· καυχάται μεταξύ ημών, και πολλαπλασιάζει τους λόγους αυτού εναντίον του Θεού.
37 Porque á su pecado añadió impiedad: bate las manos entre nosotros, y contra Dios multiplica sus palabras.
37 For he adds rebellion to his sin. He claps his hands among us, and multiplies his words against God.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
in another place it is most unambiguously said of God, that He "maketh the man who is an hypocrite to reign on account of the perver sity of the people." Wherefore, though I have, according to my ability, shown for what reason God, who alone is true and just, helped forward the Romans, who were good according to a certain …
