WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 “Ahora escúchame, Job. Presta atención a todo lo que tengo que decir.
1 “However, Job, please hear my speech, and listen to all my words.
2 Mira, estoy a punto de hablar; mi boca está lista para hablar.
2 See now, I have opened my mouth. My tongue has spoken in my mouth.
3 Mis palabras salen de mi corazón recto; mis labios hablan con sinceridad de lo que sé.
3 My words will utter the uprightness of my heart. That which my lips know they will speak sincerely.
4 El espíritu de Dios me hizo, y el aliento del Todopoderoso me da vida.
4 The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
5 Contéstame, si puedes. Ponte delante de mí y prepárate para defenderte:
5 If you can, answer me. Set your words in order before me, and stand up.
6 Ante Dios los dos somos iguales. Yo también fui hecho de un pedazo de arcilla.
6 Behold, I am toward God even as you are. I am also formed out of the clay.
7 No tienes que tener miedo de mí, pues no seré demasiado duro contigo.
7 Behold, my terror will not make you afraid, neither will my pressure be heavy on you.
8 Has hablado en mi oído y he escuchado todo lo que tenías que decir.
8 “Surely you have spoken in my hearing, I have heard the voice of your words, saying,
9 Dices: ‘Estoy limpio, no he hecho nada malo; soy puro, no he pecado.
9 ‘I am clean, without disobedience. I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me.
10 Mira cómo Dios encuentra faltas en mí y me trata como su enemigo.
10 Behold, he finds occasions against me. He counts me for his enemy.
11 Pone mis pies en el cepo y vigila todo lo que hago’.
11 He puts my feet in the stocks. He marks all my paths.’
12 Pero te equivocas. Déjame explicarte: Dios es más grande que cualquier ser humano.
12 “Behold, I will answer you. In this you are not just, for God is greater than man.
13 ¿Por qué luchas contra él, quejándote de que Dios no responde a tus preguntas?
13 Why do you strive against him, because he doesn’t give account of any of his matters?
14 Dios habla una y otra vez, pero la gente no se da cuenta.
14 For God speaks once, yes twice, though man pays no attention.
15 A través de sueños y visiones en la noche, cuando la gente cae en el sueño profundo, descansando en sus camas,
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, in slumbering on the bed,
16 Dios les habla con advertencias solemnes
16 then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,
17 para alejarlos de hacer el mal y evitar que se vuelvan orgullosos.
17 that he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18 Los salva de la tumba y los libra de la muerte violenta.
18 He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
19 La gente también es disciplinada en un lecho de dolor, con un dolor constante en sus huesos.
19 “He is chastened also with pain on his bed, with continual strife in his bones,
20 No tienen deseos de comer; ni siquiera quieren sus platos favoritos.
20 so that his life abhors bread, and his soul dainty food.
21 Su carne se desgasta hasta quedar en nada; todo lo que queda es piel y huesos.
21 His flesh is so consumed away that it can’t be seen. His bones that were not seen stick out.
22 Están a punto de morir; su vida se acerca al verdugo.
22 Yes, his soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers.
23 “Pero si aparece un ángel, un mediador, uno de los miles de ángeles de Dios, para indicarle a alguien el camino correcto para ellos,
23 “If there is beside him an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him,
24 tendrá gracia con ellos. Les dirá: ‘Sálvenlos de bajar a la tumba, porque he encontrado un camino para liberarlos’.
24 then God is gracious to him, and says, ‘Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.’
25 Entonces sus cuerpos se renovarán como si fueran jóvenes de nuevo; serán tan fuertes como cuando estaban en la flor de la vida.
25 His flesh will be fresher than a child’s. He returns to the days of his youth.
26 Orarán a Dios, y él los aceptará; llegarán a la presencia de Dios con alegría, y él les arreglará las cosas.
26 He prays to God, and he is favorable to him, so that he sees his face with joy. He restores to man his righteousness.
27 Cantarán y dirán a los demás: ‘He pecado, he desvirtuado lo que es justo, pero no me ha servido de nada.
27 He sings before men, and says, ‘I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it didn’t profit me.
28 Me salvó de bajar al sepulcro y viviré en la luz’.
28 He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit. My life will see the light.’
29 Mira, Dios hace esto una y otra vez para la gente;
29 “Behold, God does all these things, twice, yes three times, with a man,
30 los salva de la tumba para que vean la luz de la vida.
30 to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
31 “Presta atención, Job, y escúchame. Calla y déjame hablar.
31 Mark well, Job, and listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will speak.
32 Pero si tienes algo que decir, habla.
32 If you have anything to say, answer me. Speak, for I desire to justify you.
33 Si no, escúchame. Calla y te enseñaré la sabiduría”.
33 If not, listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom.”

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).

    Job, too, says, The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
