1 “Life is short and full of trouble,
1 EL HOMBRE nacido de mujer, corto de días, y harto de sinsabores:
1 “Man, who is born of a woman, is of few days, and full of trouble.
2 like a flower that blooms and withers, like a passing shadow that soon disappears.
2 Que sale como una flor y es cortado; y huye como la sombra, y no permanece.
2 He grows up like a flower, and is cut down. He also flees like a shadow, and doesn’t continue.
3 Do you even notice me, God, and why do you have to drag me to court?
3 ¿Y sobre éste abres tus ojos, y me traes á juicio contigo?
3 Do you open your eyes on such a one, and bring me into judgment with you?
4 Who can bring something clean of what is unclean? No one.
4 ¿Quién hará limpio de inmundo? Nadie.
4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one.
5 You have determined how long we shall live—the number of months, a time limit on our lives.
5 Ciertamente sus días están determinados, y el número de sus meses está cerca de ti: tú le pusiste términos, de los cuales no pasará.
5 Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months is with you, and you have appointed his bounds that he can’t pass.
6 So leave us alone and give us some peace—so like a laborer we could enjoy a few hours of rest at the end of the day.
6 Si tú lo dejares, él dejará [de ser]: entre tanto deseará, como el jornalero, su día.
6 Look away from him, that he may rest, until he accomplishes, as a hireling, his day.
7 Even a tree that's cut down has the hope of sprouting again, of sending up shoots and continuing to live.
7 Porque si el árbol fuere cortado, aun queda de él esperanza; retoñecerá aún, y sus renuevos no faltarán.
7 “For there is hope for a tree if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, that the tender branch of it will not cease.
8 Even though its roots grow old in the earth, and its stump dies in the ground,
8 Si se envejeciere en la tierra su raíz, y su tronco fuere muerto en el polvo,
8 Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stock dies in the ground,
9 just a trickle of water will make it bud and grow branches like a young plant.
9 Al percibir el agua reverdecerá, y hará copa como planta.
9 yet through the scent of water it will bud, and sprout boughs like a plant.
10 But human beings die, their strength dwindles away; they perish, and where are they then?
10 Mas el hombre morirá, y será cortado; y perecerá el hombre, ¿y dónde estará él?
10 But man dies, and is laid low. Yes, man gives up the spirit, and where is he?
11 Like water evaporating from a lake and a river that dries up and disappears,
11 Las aguas de la mar se fueron, y agotóse el río, secóse.
11 As the waters fail from the sea, and the river wastes and dries up,
12 so human beings lie down and don't get up again. Until the heavens cease to exist they will not awake from their sleep.
12 Así el hombre yace, y no se tornará á levantar: hasta que no haya cielo no despertarán, ni se levantarán de su sueño.
12 so man lies down and doesn’t rise. Until the heavens are no more, they will not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.
13 I wish you would hide me in Sheol; conceal me there until your anger is gone. Set a definite time for me there, and remember me!
13 ¡Oh quién me diera que me escondieses en el sepulcro, que me encubrieras hasta apaciguarse tu ira, que me pusieses plazo, y de mí te acordaras!
13 “Oh that you would hide me in Sheol, that you would keep me secret until your wrath is past, that you would appoint me a set time and remember me!
14 Will the dead live again? Then I would have hope through all my time of trouble until my release comes.
14 Si el hombre muriere, ¿[volverá] á vivir? Todos los días de mi edad esperaré, hasta que venga mi mutación.
14 If a man dies, will he live again? I would wait all the days of my warfare, until my release should come.
15 You would call and I would answer you; you would long for me, the being that you made.
15 Aficionado á la obra de tus manos, llamarás, y yo te responderé.
15 You would call, and I would answer you. You would have a desire for the work of your hands.
16 Then you would look after me and wouldn't be watching me to see if I sinned.
16 Pues ahora me cuentas los pasos, y no das tregua á mi pecado.
16 But now you count my steps. Don’t you watch over my sin?
17 My sins would be sealed up in a bag and you would cover my guilt.
17 Tienes sellada en saco mi prevaricación, y coacervas mi iniquidad.
17 My disobedience is sealed up in a bag. You fasten up my iniquity.
18 But just as the mountains crumble and fall, and the rocks tumble down;
18 Y ciertamente el monte que cae se deshace, y las peñas son traspasadas de su lugar;
18 “But the mountain falling comes to nothing. The rock is removed out of its place.
19 as water wears away the stones, as floods wash away the soil, so you destroy the hope people have.
19 Las piedras son desgastadas con el agua impetuosa, que se lleva el polvo de la tierra: de tal manera haces tú perecer la esperanza del hombre.
19 The waters wear the stones. The torrents of it wash away the dust of the earth. So you destroy the hope of man.
20 You continually overpower them and they pass away; you distort their faces in death and send them away.
20 Para siempre serás más fuerte que él, y él se va; demudarás su rostro, y enviaráslo.
20 You forever prevail against him, and he departs. You change his face, and send him away.
21 Their children may become important or fall from their positions, but they don't know or see any of this.
21 Sus hijos serán honrados, y él no lo sabrá; ó serán humillados, y no entenderá de ellos.
21 His sons come to honor, and he doesn’t know it. They are brought low, but he doesn’t perceive it of them.
22 As people die they only know their own pain and are sad for themselves.”
22 Mas su carne sobre él se dolerá, y entristecerse ha en él su alma.
22 But his flesh on him has pain, and his soul within him mourns.”

Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
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).
For it comes from the righteous anger of God, whereof the Scriptures say, "Man, that is born of woman, is of few days and full of anger:" for the anger of God is not like that of man, the disturbance of an excited man, but the calm fixing of righteous punishment.

Again, the rod of Aaron, though cut off and dead, budded, without the scent of waters, and though under a roof, sprouted forth into blossoms as in the fields; and though set in dry places, yielded in one night the flowers and fruit of plants watered for many years.

he says, For if a man die, he shall live again; and immediately he adds, I will wait till I be made again; and again elsewhere, Who shall raise up on the earth my skin, which endures these things.
