1 And Job addeth to lift up his simile, and saith: —
1 Y VOLVIÓ Job á tomar su propósito, y dijo:
2 Who doth make me as [in] months past, As [in] the days of God's preserving me?
2 ¡Quién me tornase como en los meses pasados, como en los días que Dios me guardaba,
3 In His causing His lamp to shine on my head, By His light I walk [through] darkness.
3 Cuando hacía resplandecer su candela sobre mi cabeza, á la luz de la cual yo caminaba en la oscuridad;
4 As I have been in days of my maturity, And the counsel of God upon my tent.
4 Como fué en los días de mi mocedad, cuando el secreto de Dios estaba en mi tienda;
5 When yet the Mighty One [is] with me. Round about me — my young ones,
5 Cuando aun el Omnipotente estaba conmigo, y mis hijos alrededor de mí;
6 When washing my goings with butter, And the firm rock [is] with me rivulets of oil.
6 Cuando lavaba yo mis caminos con manteca, y la piedra me derramaba ríos de aceite!
7 When I go out to the gate by the city, In a broad place I prepare my seat.
7 Cuando salía á la puerta á juicio, y en la plaza hacía preparar mi asiento,
8 Seen me have youths, and they, been hidden, And the aged have risen — they stood up.
8 Los mozos me veían, y se escondían; y los viejos se levantaban, y estaban en pie;
9 Princes have kept in words, And a hand they place on their mouth.
9 Los príncipes detenían sus palabras, ponían la mano sobre su boca;
10 The voice of leaders hath been hidden, And their tongue to the palate hath cleaved.
10 La voz de los principales se ocultaba, y su lengua se pegaba á su paladar:
11 For the ear heard, and declareth me happy, And the eye hath seen, and testifieth [to] me.
11 Cuando los oídos que me oían, me llamaban bienaventurado, y los ojos que me veían, me daban testimonio:
12 For I deliver the afflicted who is crying, And the fatherless who hath no helper.
12 Porque libraba al pobre que gritaba, y al huérfano que carecía de ayudador.
13 The blessing of the perishing cometh on me, And the heart of the widow I cause to sing.
13 La bendición del que se iba á perder venía sobre mí; y al corazón de la viuda daba alegría.
14 Righteousness I have put on, and it clotheth me, As a robe and a diadem my justice.
14 Vestíame de justicia, y ella me vestía como un manto; y mi toca era juicio.
15 Eyes I have been to the blind, And feet to the lame [am] I.
15 Yo era ojos al ciego, y pies al cojo.
16 A father I [am] to the needy, And the cause I have not known I search out.
16 A los menesterosos era padre; y de la causa que no entendía, me informaba con diligencia:
17 And I break the jaw-teeth of the perverse, And from his teeth I cast away prey.
17 Y quebraba los colmillos del inicuo, y de sus dientes hacía soltar la presa.
18 And I say, 'With my nest I expire, And as the sand I multiply days.'
18 Y decía yo: En mi nido moriré, y como arena multiplicaré días.
19 My root is open unto the waters, And dew doth lodge on my branch.
19 Mi raíz estaba abierta junto á las aguas, y en mis ramas permanecía el rocío.
20 My honour [is] fresh with me, And my bow in my hand is renewed.
20 Mi honra se renovaba en mí, y mi arco se corroboraba en mi mano.
21 To me they have hearkened, Yea, they wait, and are silent for my counsel.
21 Oíanme, y esperaban; y callaban á mi consejo.
22 After my word they change not, And on them doth my speech drop,
22 Tras mi palabra no replicaban, y mi razón destilaba sobre ellos.
23 And they wait as [for] rain for me, And their mouth they have opened wide [As] for the latter rain.
23 Y esperábanme como á la lluvia, y abrían su boca [como] á la lluvia tardía.
24 I laugh unto them — they give no credence, And the light of my face cause not to fall.
24 Si me reía con ellos, no lo creían: y no abatían la luz de mi rostro.
25 I choose their way, and sit head, And I dwell as a king in a troop, When mourners he doth comfort.
25 Calificaba yo el camino de ellos, y sentábame en cabecera; y moraba como rey en el ejército, como el que consuela llorosos.
