1 But Job answered and said,
1 Y RESPONDIÓ Job y dijo:
2 Oh that my grief were thoroughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!
2 ¡Oh si pesasen al justo mi queja y mi tormento, y se alzasen igualmente en balanza!
3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.
3 Porque pesaría aquél más que la arena del mar: y por tanto mis palabras son cortadas.
4 For the arrows of the Almighty [are] within me, the poison of which drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God set themselves in array against me.
4 Porque las saetas del Todopoderoso están en mí, cuyo veneno bebe mi espíritu; y terrores de Dios me combaten.
5 Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?
5 ¿Acaso gime el asno montés junto á la hierba? ¿muge el buey junto á su pasto?
6 Can that which is unsavory be eaten without salt? or is there [any] taste in the white of an egg?
6 ¿Comeráse lo desabrido sin sal? ¿ó habrá gusto en la clara del huevo?
7 The things [that] my soul refused to touch [are] as my sorrowful food.
7 Las cosas que mi alma no quería tocar, por los dolores son mi comida.
8 Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant [me] the thing that I long for!
8 ¡Quién me diera que viniese mi petición, y que Dios [me] otorgase lo que espero;
9 Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
9 Y que pluguiera á Dios quebrantarme; que soltara su mano, y me deshiciera!
10 Then should I yet have comfort; yes, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.
10 Y sería aún mi consuelo, si me asaltase con dolor sin dar más tregua, que yo no he escondido las palabras del Santo.
11 What [is] my strength, that I should hope? and what [is] my end, that I should prolong my life?
11 ¿Cuál es mi fortaleza para esperar aún? ¿y cuál mi fin para dilatar mi vida?
12 [Is] my strength the strength of stones? or [is] my flesh of brass?
12 ¿Es mi fortaleza la de las piedras? ¿ó mi carne, es de acero?
13 [Is] not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?
13 ¿No me ayudo cuanto puedo, y el poder me falta del todo?
14 To him that is afflicted pity [should be shown] from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
14 El atribulado es consolado de su compañero: mas hase abandonado el temor del Omnipotente.
15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, [and] as the stream of brooks they pass away;
15 Mis hermanos han mentido cual arroyo: pasáronse como corrientes impetuosas,
16 Which are blackish by reason of the ice, [and] in which the snow is hid:
16 Que están escondidas por la helada, y encubiertas con nieve;
17 In the time when they become warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
17 Que al tiempo del calor son deshechas, y en calentándose, desaparecen de su lugar;
18 The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.
18 Apártanse de la senda de su rumbo, van menguando y piérdense.
19 The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.
19 Miraron los caminantes de Temán, los caminantes de Saba esperaron en ellas:
20 They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.
20 [Mas] fueron avergonzados por su esperanza; porque vinieron hasta ellas, y halláronse confusos.
21 For now ye are nothing: ye see [my] casting down, and are afraid.
21 Ahora ciertamente como ellas sois vosotros: que habéis visto el tormento, y teméis.
22 Did I say, Bring to me? or Give a reward for me of your substance?
22 ¿Os he dicho yo: Traedme, y pagad por mí de vuestra hacienda;
23 Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
23 Y libradme de la mano del opresor, y redimidme del poder de los violentos?
24 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand in what I have erred.
24 Enseñadme, y yo callaré: y hacedme entender en qué he errado.
25 How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?
25 ¡Cuán fuertes son las palabras de rectitud! Mas ¿qué reprende el que reprende de vosotros?
26 Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, [which are] as wind?
26 ¿Pensáis censurar palabras, y los discursos de un desesperado, que son como el viento?
27 Yes, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig [a pit] for your friend.
27 También os arrojáis sobre el huérfano, y hacéis hoyo delante de vuestro amigo.
28 Now therefore be content, look upon me; for [it is] evident to you if I lie.
28 Ahora pues, si queréis, mirad en mí, y [ved] si miento delante de vosotros.
29 Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yes, return again, my righteousness [is] in it.
29 Tornad ahora, y no haya iniquidad; volved aún [á considerar] mi justicia en esto.
30 Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?
30 ¿Hay iniquidad en mi lengua? ¿no puede mi paladar discernir las cosas depravadas?
