Brenton Septuaginta inglesa de Brenton WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos) 1 And Elius continued, and said, 1 ADEMÁS respondió Eliú, y dijo:
1 Moreover Elihu answered,
2 Hear me, ye wise men; hearken, ye that have knowledge. 2 Oid, sabios, mis palabras; y vosotros, doctos, estadme atentos.
2 “Hear my words, you wise men. Give ear to me, you who have knowledge.
3 For the ear tries words, and the mouth tastes meat. 3 Porque el oído prueba las palabras, como el paladar gusta para comer.
3 For the ear tries words, as the palate tastes food.
4 Let us choose judgment to ourselves: let us know among ourselves what is right. 4 Escojamos para nosotros el juicio, conozcamos entre nosotros cuál [sea] lo bueno:
4 Let us choose for us that which is right. Let us know among ourselves what is good.
5 For Job has said, I am righteous: the Lord has removed my judgment. 5 Porque Job ha dicho: Yo soy justo, y Dios me ha quitado mi derecho.
5 For Job has said, ‘I am righteous, God has taken away my right.
6 And he has erred in my judgment: my wound is severe without unrighteousness [of mine]. 6 ¿He de mentir yo contra mi razón? Mi saeta es gravosa sin [haber yo] prevaricado.
6 Notwithstanding my right I am considered a liar. My wound is incurable, though I am without disobedience.’
7 What man is as Job, drinking scorning like water? 7 ¿Qué hombre hay como Job, que bebe el escarnio como agua?
7 What man is like Job, who drinks scorn like water,
8 [saying], I have not sinned, nor committed ungodliness, nor had fellowship with workers of iniquity, to go with the ungodly. 8 Y va en compañía con los que obran iniquidad, y anda con los hombres maliciosos.
8 who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked men?
9 For thou shouldest not say, There shall be no visitation of a man, whereas [there is] a visitation on him from the Lord. 9 Porque ha dicho: De nada servirá al hombre el conformar su voluntad con Dios.
9 For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.’
10 Wherefore hear me, ye that are wise in heart: far be it from me to sin before the Lord, and to pervert righteousness before the Almighty. 10 Por tanto, varones de seso, oidme: Lejos esté de Dios la impiedad, y del Omnipotente la iniquidad.
10 “Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
11 Yea, he renders to a man accordingly as each of them does, and in a man's path he will find him. 11 Porque él pagará al hombre según su obra, y él le hará hallar conforme á su camino.
11 For the work of a man he will give to him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
12 And thinkest thou that the Lord will do wrong, or will the Almighty who made the earth wrest judgment? 12 Sí, por cierto, Dios no hará injusticia, y el Omnipotente no pervertirá el derecho.
12 Yes surely, God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert justice.
13 And who is he that made [the whole world] under heaven, and all things therein? 13 ¿Quién visitó por él la tierra? ¿y quién puso en orden todo el mundo?
13 Who put him in charge of the earth? Or who has appointed him over the whole world?
14 For if he would confine, and restrain his spirit with himself; 14 Si él pusiese sobre el [hombre] su corazón, y recogiese así su espíritu y su aliento,
14 If he set his heart on himself, if he gathered to himself his spirit and his breath,
15 all flesh would die together, and every mortal would return to the earth, whence also he was formed. 15 Toda carne perecería juntamente, y el hombre se tornaría en polvo.
15 all flesh would perish together, and man would turn again to dust.
16 Take heed lest he rebuke [thee]: hear this, hearken to the voice of words. 16 Si pues [hay en ti] entendimiento, oye esto: escucha la voz de mis palabras.
16 “If now you have understanding, hear this. Listen to the voice of my words.
17 Behold then the one that hates iniquities, and that destroys the wicked, who is for ever just. 17 ¿Enseñorearáse el que aborrece juicio? ¿y condenarás tú al que es tan justo?
17 Should even one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn him who is righteous and mighty,
18 [He is] ungodly that says to a king, Thou art a transgressor, [that says] to princes, O most ungodly one. 18 ¿Hase de decir al rey: Perverso; y á los príncipes: Impíos?
18 who says to a king, ‘Vile!’ or to nobles, ‘Wicked!’?
19 [Such a one] as would not reverence the face of an honourable man, neither knows how to give honour to the great, so as that their persons should be respected. 19 ¿[Cuánto menos á] aquel que no hace acepción de personas de príncipes, ni el rico es de él más respetado que el pobre? porque todos son obras de sus manos.
19 He doesn’t respect the persons of princes, nor respect the rich more than the poor, for they all are the work of his hands.
20 But it shall turn out vanity to them, to cry and beseech a man; for they dealt unlawfully, the poor being turned aside [from their right]. 20 En un momento morirán, y á media noche se alborotarán los pueblos, y pasarán, y sin mano será quitado el poderoso.
20 In a moment they die, even at midnight. The people are shaken and pass away. The mighty are taken away without a hand.
21 For he surveys the works of men, and nothing of what they do has escaped him. 21 Porque sus ojos están sobre los caminos del hombre, y ve todos sus pasos.
21 “For his eyes are on the ways of a man. He sees all his goings.
22 Neither shall there be a place for the workers of iniquity to hide themselves. 22 No hay tinieblas ni sombra de muerte donde se encubran los que obran maldad.
22 There is no darkness, nor thick gloom, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
23 For he will not lay upon a man more [than right]. 23 No carga pues él al hombre más [de lo justo], para que vaya con Dios á juicio.
23 For he doesn’t need to consider a man further, that he should go before God in judgment.
24 For the Lord looks down upon all men, who comprehends unsearchable things, glorious also and excellent things without number. 24 El quebrantará á los fuertes sin pesquisa, y hará estar otros en su lugar.
24 He breaks mighty men in pieces in ways past finding out, and sets others in their place.
25 Who discovers their works, and will bring night about [upon them], and they shall be brought low. 25 Por tanto él hará notorias las obras de ellos, cuando los trastornará en la noche, y serán quebrantados.
25 Therefore he takes knowledge of their works. He overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
26 And he quite destroys the ungodly, for they are seen before him. 26 Como á malos los herirá en lugar donde sean vistos:
26 He strikes them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
27 Because they turned aside from the law of God, and did not regard his ordinances, 27 Por cuanto así se apartaron de él, y no consideraron todos sus caminos;
27 because they turned away from following him, and wouldn’t pay attention to any of his ways,
28 so as to bring before him the cry of the needy; for he will hear the cry of the poor. 28 Haciendo venir delante de él el clamor del pobre, y que oiga el clamor de los necesitados.
28 so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him. He heard the cry of the afflicted.
29 And he will give quiet, and who will condemn? and he will hide his face, and who shall see him? whether [it be done] against a nation, or against a man also: 29 Y si él diere reposo, ¿quién inquietará? si escondiere el rostro, ¿quién lo mirará? [Esto] sobre una nación, y lo mismo sobre un hombre;
29 When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? When he hides his face, who then can see him? He is over a nation or a man alike,
30 causing a hypocrite to be king, because of the waywardness of the people. 30 Haciendo que no reine el hombre hipócrita para vejaciones del pueblo.
30 that the godless man may not reign, that there be no one to ensnare the people.
31 For [there is] one that says to the Mighty One, I have received [blessings]; I will not take a pledge: 31 De seguro conviene se diga á Dios: Llevado he ya [castigo], no [más] ofenderé:
31 “For has any said to God, ‘I am guilty, but I will not offend any more.
32 I will see apart from myself: do thou shew me if I have done unrighteousness; I will not do [so] any more. 32 Enséñame tú lo que yo no veo: que si hice mal, no lo haré más.
32 Teach me that which I don’t see. If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more’?
33 Will he take vengeance for it on thee, whereas thou wilt put [it] far [from thee]? for thou shalt choose, and not I; and what thou knowest, speak thou. 33 ¿[Ha de ser eso] según tu mente? El te retribuirá, ora rehuses, ora aceptes, y no yo: di si no, lo que tú sabes.
33 Shall his recompense be as you desire, that you refuse it? For you must choose, and not I. Therefore speak what you know.
34 Because the wise in heart shall say this, and a wise man listens to my word. 34 Los hombres de seso dirán conmigo, y el hombre sabio me oirá:
34 Men of understanding will tell me, yes, every wise man who hears me:
35 But Job has not spoken with understanding, his words are not [uttered] with knowledge. 35 Que Job no habla con sabiduría, y que sus palabras no son con entendimiento.
35 ‘Job speaks without knowledge. His words are without wisdom.’
36 Howbeit do thou learn, Job: no longer make answer as the foolish: 36 Deseo yo que Job sea probado ampliamente, á causa de sus respuestas por los hombres inicuos.
36 I wish that Job were tried to the end, because of his answering like wicked men.
37 that we add not to our sins: for iniquity will be reckoned against us, if [we] speak many words before the Lord. 37 Porque á su pecado añadió impiedad: bate las manos entre nosotros, y contra Dios multiplica sus palabras.
37 For he adds rebellion to his sin. He claps his hands among us, and multiplies his words against God.”
