1 Job went on speaking.
1 Y VOLVIÓ Job á tomar su propósito, y dijo:
1 Job again took up his parable, and said,
2 “I wish I was back in the old days when God looked after me!
2 ¡Quién me tornase como en los meses pasados, como en los días que Dios me guardaba,
2 “Oh that I were as in the months of old, as in the days when God watched over me;
3 His light shone above me and lit my way through the darkness.
3 Cuando hacía resplandecer su candela sobre mi cabeza, á la luz de la cual yo caminaba en la oscuridad;
3 when his lamp shone on my head, and by his light I walked through darkness,
4 When I was young and strong, God was my friend and spoke to me in my home.
4 Como fué en los días de mi mocedad, cuando el secreto de Dios estaba en mi tienda;
4 as I was in my prime, when the friendship of God was in my tent,
5 The Almighty was still with me and I was surrounded with my children.
5 Cuando aun el Omnipotente estaba conmigo, y mis hijos alrededor de mí;
5 when the Almighty was yet with me, and my children were around me,
6 My herds produced much milk, and oil flowed freely from my olive presses.
6 Cuando lavaba yo mis caminos con manteca, y la piedra me derramaba ríos de aceite!
6 when my steps were washed with butter, and the rock poured out streams of oil for me,
7 I went out to the city gate and took my seat in the public square.
7 Cuando salía á la puerta á juicio, y en la plaza hacía preparar mi asiento,
7 when I went out to the city gate, when I prepared my seat in the street.
8 The young men saw me and moved out of the way; the elders would stand up for me.
8 Los mozos me veían, y se escondían; y los viejos se levantaban, y estaban en pie;
8 The young men saw me and hid themselves. The aged rose up and stood.
9 The leaders remained silent and covered their mouths with their hands.
9 Los príncipes detenían sus palabras, ponían la mano sobre su boca;
9 The princes refrained from talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
10 The voices of the officials were hushed; they held their tongues in my presence.
10 La voz de los principales se ocultaba, y su lengua se pegaba á su paladar:
10 The voice of the nobles was hushed, and their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.
11 Everyone who listened to me praised me; whoever saw me commended me,
11 Cuando los oídos que me oían, me llamaban bienaventurado, y los ojos que me veían, me daban testimonio:
11 For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me, and when the eye saw me, it commended me,
12 because I gave to the poor who called out to me and the orphans who had no one to help them.
12 Porque libraba al pobre que gritaba, y al huérfano que carecía de ayudador.
12 because I delivered the poor who cried, and the fatherless also, who had no one to help him,
13 Those who were about to die blessed me; I made the widow sing for joy.
13 La bendición del que se iba á perder venía sobre mí; y al corazón de la viuda daba alegría.
13 the blessing of him who was ready to perish came on me, and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
14 Being true and acting right were what I wore for clothing.
14 Vestíame de justicia, y ella me vestía como un manto; y mi toca era juicio.
14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me. My justice was as a robe and a diadem.
15 I was like eyes for the blind and feet for the lame.
15 Yo era ojos al ciego, y pies al cojo.
15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame.
16 I was like a father to the poor, and I defended the rights of strangers.
16 A los menesterosos era padre; y de la causa que no entendía, me informaba con diligencia:
16 I was a father to the needy. I researched the cause of him whom I didn’t know.
17 I broke the jaw of the wicked and made them drop their prey from their teeth.
17 Y quebraba los colmillos del inicuo, y de sus dientes hacía soltar la presa.
17 I broke the jaws of the unrighteous and plucked the prey out of his teeth.
18 I thought I would die at home, after many years.
18 Y decía yo: En mi nido moriré, y como arena multiplicaré días.
18 Then I said, ‘I will die in my own house, I will count my days as the sand.
19 Like a tree my roots spread out to the water; the dew rests on my branches overnight.
19 Mi raíz estaba abierta junto á las aguas, y en mis ramas permanecía el rocío.
19 My root is spread out to the waters. The dew lies all night on my branch.
20 Fresh honors were always being given to me; my strength was renewed like an unfailing bow.
20 Mi honra se renovaba en mí, y mi arco se corroboraba en mi mano.
20 My glory is fresh in me. My bow is renewed in my hand.’
21 People listened carefully to what I had to say; they kept quiet as they listened to my advice.
21 Oíanme, y esperaban; y callaban á mi consejo.
21 “Men listened to me, waited, and kept silence for my counsel.
22 Once I had spoken they had nothing else to say; what I said was enough.
22 Tras mi palabra no replicaban, y mi razón destilaba sobre ellos.
22 After my words they didn’t speak again. My speech fell on them.
23 They waited for me like people waiting for rain; their mouths wide open for the spring rain.
23 Y esperábanme como á la lluvia, y abrían su boca [como] á la lluvia tardía.
23 They waited for me as for the rain. Their mouths drank as with the spring rain.
24 When I smiled at them they could hardly believe it; my approval meant all the world to them.
24 Si me reía con ellos, no lo creían: y no abatían la luz de mi rostro.
24 I smiled on them when they had no confidence. They didn’t reject the light of my face.
25 I decided the way forward as their leader, living like a king among his soldiers, and when they were sad I comforted them.”
25 Calificaba yo el camino de ellos, y sentábame en cabecera; y moraba como rey en el ejército, como el que consuela llorosos.
25 I chose out their way, and sat as chief. I lived as a king in the army, as one who comforts the mourners.
