1 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
1 DESPUÉS de esto abrió Job su boca, y maldijo su día.
1 After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed the day of his birth.
3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, And the night which said, There is a man-child conceived.
3 Perezca el día en que yo nací, y la noche que se dijo: Varón es concebido.
3 “Let the day perish in which I was born, the night which said, ‘There is a boy conceived.’
4 Let that day be darkness; Let not God from above seek for it, Neither let the light shine upon it.
4 Sea aquel día sombrío, y Dios no cuide de él desde arriba, ni claridad sobre él resplandezca.
4 Let that day be darkness. Don’t let God from above seek for it, neither let the light shine on it.
5 Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own; Let a cloud dwell upon it; Let all that maketh black the day terrify it.
5 Aféenlo tinieblas y sombra de muerte; repose sobre él nublado, que lo haga horrible como caliginoso día.
5 Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own. Let a cloud dwell on it. Let all that makes the day black terrify it.
6 As for that night, let thick darkness seize upon it: Let it not rejoice among the days of the year; Let it not come into the number of the months.
6 Ocupe la oscuridad aquella noche; no sea contada entre los días del año, ni venga en el número de los meses.
6 As for that night, let thick darkness seize on it. Let it not rejoice among the days of the year. Let it not come into the number of the months.
7 Lo, let that night be barren; Let no joyful voice come therein.
7 ¡Oh si fuere aquella noche solitaria, que no viniera canción alguna en ella!
7 Behold, let that night be barren. Let no joyful voice come therein.
8 Let them curse it that curse the day, Who are ready to rouse up leviathan.
8 Maldíganla los que maldicen al día, los que se aprestan para levantar su llanto.
8 Let them curse it who curse the day, who are ready to rouse up leviathan.
9 Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark: Let it look for light, but have none; Neither let it behold the eyelids of the morning:
9 Oscurézcanse las estrellas de su alba; espere la luz, y no venga, ni vea los párpados de la mañana:
9 Let the stars of its twilight be dark. Let it look for light, but have none, neither let it see the eyelids of the morning,
10 Because it shut not up the doors of my [mother’s] womb, Nor hid trouble from mine eyes.
10 Por cuanto no cerró las puertas del vientre donde yo estaba, ni escondió de mis ojos la miseria.
10 because it didn’t shut up the doors of my mother’s womb, nor did it hide trouble from my eyes.
11 Why died I not from the womb? Why did I not give up the ghost when my mother bare me?
11 ¿Por qué no morí yo desde la matriz, o fuí traspasado en saliendo del vientre?
11 “Why didn’t I die from the womb? Why didn’t I give up the spirit when my mother bore me?
12 Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breasts, that I should suck?
12 ¿Por qué me previnieron las rodillas? ¿y para qué las tetas que mamase?
12 Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should nurse?
13 For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept; then had I been at rest,
13 Pues que ahora yaciera yo, y reposara; durmiera, y entonces tuviera reposo,
13 For now I should have lain down and been quiet. I should have slept, then I would have been at rest,
14 With kings and counsellors of the earth, Who built up waste places for themselves;
14 Con los reyes y con los consejeros de la tierra, que edifican para sí los desiertos;
14 with kings and counselors of the earth, who built up waste places for themselves;
15 Or with princes that had gold, Who filled their houses with silver:
15 O con los príncipes que poseían el oro, que henchían sus casas de plata.
15 or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver;
16 Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, As infants that never saw light.
16 O ¿por qué no fuí escondido como aborto, como los pequeñitos que nunca vieron luz?
16 or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, as infants who never saw light.
17 There the wicked cease from troubling; And there the weary are at rest.
17 Allí los impíos dejan el perturbar, y allí descansan los de cansadas fuerzas.
17 There the wicked cease from troubling. There the weary are at rest.
18 There the prisoners are at ease together; They hear not the voice of the taskmaster.
18 Allí asimismo reposan los cautivos; no oyen la voz del exactor.
18 There the prisoners are at ease together. They don’t hear the voice of the taskmaster.
19 The small and the great are there: And the servant is free from his master.
19 Allí están el chico y el grande; y el siervo libre de su señor.
19 The small and the great are there. The servant is free from his master.
20 Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, And life unto the bitter in soul;
20 ¿Por qué se da luz al trabajado, y vida á los de ánimo en amargura,
20 “Why is light given to him who is in misery, life to the bitter in soul,
21 Who long for death, but it cometh not, And dig for it more than for hid treasures;
21 Que esperan la muerte, y ella no llega, aunque la buscan más que tesoros;
21 who long for death, but it doesn’t come; and dig for it more than for hidden treasures,
22 Who rejoice exceedingly, And are glad, when they can find the grave?
22 Que se alegran sobremanera, y se gozan, cuando hallan el sepulcro?
22 who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
23 [Why is light given] to a man whose way is hid, And whom God hath hedged in?
23 ¿[Por qué] al hombre que no sabe por donde vaya, y al cual Dios ha encerrado?
23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?
24 For my sighing cometh before I eat, And my groanings are poured out like water.
24 Pues antes que mi pan viene mi suspiro; y mis gemidos corren como aguas.
24 For my sighing comes before I eat. My groanings are poured out like water.
25 For the thing which I fear cometh upon me, And that which I am afraid of cometh unto me.
25 Porque el temor que me espantaba me ha venido, y hame acontecido lo que temía.
25 For the thing which I fear comes on me, that which I am afraid of comes to me.
26 I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest; But trouble cometh.
26 No he tenido paz, no me aseguré, ni me estuve reposado; vínome no obstante turbación.
26 I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither do I have rest; but trouble comes.”

Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
And this he declared, when he said, "For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me; and that which I was afraid of is come unto me."
