Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 Respondens autem Sophar Naamathites, dixit:
1 Y RESPONDIÓ Sophar Naamathita, y dijo:
1 Then Zophar, the Naamathite, answered,
2 [Numquid qui multa loquitur, non et audiet? aut vir verbosus justificabitur?
2 ¿Las muchas palabras no han de tener respuesta? ¿y el hombre parlero será justificado?
2 “Shouldn’t the multitude of words be answered? Should a man full of talk be justified?
3 Tibi soli tacebunt homines? et cum ceteros irriseris, a nullo confutaberis?
3 ¿Harán tus falacias callar á los hombres? ¿y harás escarnio, y no habrá quien te avergüence?
3 Should your boastings make men hold their peace? When you mock, will no man make you ashamed?
4 Dixisti enim: Purus est sermo meus, et mundus sum in conspectu tuo.
4 Tú dices: Mi conversar es puro, y yo soy limpio delante de tus ojos.
4 For you say, ‘My doctrine is pure. I am clean in your eyes.’
5 Atque utinam Deus loqueretur tecum, et aperiret labia sua tibi,
5 Mas ¡oh quién diera que Dios hablara, y abriera sus labios contigo,
5 But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against you,
6 ut ostenderet tibi secreta sapientiæ, et quod multiplex esset lex ejus: et intelligeres quod multo minora exigaris ab eo quam meretur iniquitas tua !
6 Y que te declarara los arcanos de la sabiduría, que [son] de doble [valor] que la hacienda! Conocerías entonces que Dios te ha castigado menos que tu iniquidad merece.
6 that he would show you the secrets of wisdom! For true wisdom has two sides. Know therefore that God exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves.
7 Forsitan vestigia Dei comprehendes, et usque ad perfectum Omnipotentem reperies?
7 ¿Alcanzarás tú el rastro de Dios? ¿llegarás tú á la perfección del Todopoderoso?
7 “Can you fathom the mystery of God? Or can you probe the limits of the Almighty?
8 Excelsior cælo est, et quid facies? profundior inferno, et unde cognosces?
8 Es más alto que los cielos: ¿qué harás? Es más profundo que el infierno: ¿cómo lo conocerás?
8 They are high as heaven. What can you do? They are deeper than Sheol. What can you know?
9 Longior terra mensura ejus, et latior mari.
9 Su dimensión es más larga que la tierra, y más ancha que la mar.
9 Its measure is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
10 Si subverterit omnia, vel in unum coarctaverit, quis contradicet ei?
10 Si cortare, ó encerrare, ó juntare, ¿quién podrá contrarrestarle?
10 If he passes by, or confines, or convenes a court, then who can oppose him?
11 Ipse enim novit hominum vanitatem; et videns iniquitatem, nonne considerat?
11 Porque él conoce á los hombres vanos: ve asimismo la iniquidad, ¿y no hará caso?
11 For he knows false men. He sees iniquity also, even though he doesn’t consider it.
12 Vir vanus in superbiam erigitur, et tamquam pullum onagri se liberum natum putat.
12 El hombre vano se hará entendido, aunque nazca como el pollino del asno montés.
12 An empty-headed man becomes wise when a man is born as a wild donkey’s colt.
13 Tu autem firmasti cor tuum, et expandisti ad eum manus tuas.
13 Si tú apercibieres tu corazón, y extendieres á él tus manos;
13 “If you set your heart aright, stretch out your hands toward him.
14 Si iniquitatem quæ est in manu tua abstuleris a te, et non manserit in tabernaculo tuo injustitia,
14 Si alguna iniquidad hubiere en tu mano, y la echares de ti, y no consintieres que more maldad en tus habitaciones;
14 If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away. Don’t let unrighteousness dwell in your tents.
15 tunc levare poteris faciem tuam absque macula; et eris stabilis, et non timebis.
15 Entonces levantarás tu rostro limpio de mancha, y serás fuerte y no temerás:
15 Surely then you will lift up your face without spot. Yes, you will be steadfast, and will not fear,
16 Miseriæ quoque oblivisceris, et quasi aquarum quæ præterierunt recordaberis.
16 Y olvidarás tu trabajo, ó te acordarás de él como de aguas que pasaron:
16 for you will forget your misery. You will remember it like waters that have passed away.
17 Et quasi meridianus fulgor consurget tibi ad vesperam; et cum te consumptum putaveris, orieris ut lucifer.
17 Y en mitad de la siesta se levantará bonanza; resplandecerás, y serás como la mañana:
17 Life will be clearer than the noonday. Though there is darkness, it will be as the morning.
18 Et habebis fiduciam, proposita tibi spe: et defossus securus dormies.
18 Y confiarás, que habrá esperanza; y cavarás, y dormirás seguro:
18 You will be secure, because there is hope. Yes, you will search, and will take your rest in safety.
19 Requiesces, et non erit qui te exterreat; et deprecabuntur faciem tuam plurimi.
19 Y te acostarás, y no habrá quien te espante: y muchos te rogarán.
19 Also you will lie down, and no one will make you afraid. Yes, many will court your favor.
20 Oculi autem impiorum deficient, et effugium peribit ab eis: et spes illorum abominatio animæ.]
20 Mas los ojos de los malos se consumirán, y no tendrán refugio; y su esperanza será agonía del alma.
20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail. They will have no way to flee. Their hope will be the giving up of the spirit.”
