RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)

1 “I vowed to myself never to look with desire at young women.

1 HICE pacto con mis ojos: ¿cómo pues había yo de pensar en virgen?

1 “I made a covenant with my eyes; how then should I look lustfully at a young woman?

2 What should people expect to receive from God? What reward should the Almighty on high give them?

2 Porque ¿qué galardón [me daría] de arriba Dios, y qué heredad el Omnipotente de las alturas?

2 For what is the portion from God above, and the heritage from the Almighty on high?

3 Isn't it disaster for the wicked and destruction for those who do wrong?

3 ¿No hay quebrantamiento para el impío, y extrañamiento para los que obran iniquidad?

3 Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, and disaster to the workers of iniquity?

4 Doesn't God see everything I do—even count every step I take?

4 ¿No ve él mis caminos, y cuenta todos mis pasos?

4 Doesn’t he see my ways, and count all my steps?

5 Have I lived a deceitful life? Have I been eager to tell lies?

5 Si anduve con mentira, y si mi pie se apresuró á engaño,

5 “If I have walked with falsehood, and my foot has hurried to deceit

6 No! Let God weigh me on the scales of his justice and let him discover my integrity.

6 Péseme Dios en balanzas de justicia, y conocerá mi integridad.

6 (let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know my integrity);

7 If I have wandered from God's way, if I have let what I see become my desires, if there's any stain of sin on my hands,

7 Si mis pasos se apartaron del camino, y si mi corazón se fué tras mis ojos, y si algo se apegó á mis manos,

7 if my step has turned out of the way, if my heart walked after my eyes, if any defilement has stuck to my hands,

8 then let someone else eat what I have sown, and all that I have grown be uprooted.

8 Siembre yo, y otro coma, y mis verduras sean arrancadas.

8 then let me sow, and let another eat. Yes, let the produce of my field be rooted out.

9 If a woman has seduced me, or if I have looked for an opportunity to sleep with my neighbor's wife,

9 Si fué mi corazón engañado acerca de mujer, y si estuve acechando á la puerta de mi prójimo:

9 “If my heart has been enticed to a woman, and I have laid wait at my neighbor’s door,

10 then let my wife serve another, let other men sleep with her.

10 Muela para otro mi mujer, y sobre ella otros se encorven.

10 then let my wife grind for another, and let others sleep with her.

11 For that would be wicked, a sin deserving punishment,

11 Porque es maldad é iniquidad, que han de castigar los jueces.

11 For that would be a heinous crime. Yes, it would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges,

12 for this sin is like a fire that leads to destruction, destroying everything I have.

12 Porque es fuego que devoraría hasta el sepulcro, y desarraigaría toda mi hacienda.

12 for it is a fire that consumes to destruction, and would root out all my increase.

13 If I had refused to listen to my menservants or maidservants when they brought their complaints to me,

13 Si hubiera tenido en poco el derecho de mi siervo y de mi sierva, cuando ellos pleitearan conmigo,

13 “If I have despised the cause of my male servant or of my female servant, when they contended with me,

14 what would I do when God came to judge me? How would I reply if he investigated me?

14 ¿Qué haría yo cuando Dios se levantase? y cuando él visitara, ¿qué le respondería yo?

14 what then will I do when God rises up? When he visits, what will I answer him?

15 Didn't the same God make all of us?

15 El que en el vientre me hizo á mí, ¿no lo hizo á él? ¿y no nos dispuso uno mismo en la matriz?

15 Didn’t he who made me in the womb make him? Didn’t one fashion us in the womb?

16 Have I refused to give the poor what they needed, or caused widows to despair?

16 Si estorbé el contento de los pobres, é hice desfallecer los ojos de la viuda;

16 “If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,

17 Have I even eaten just a piece of bread by myself? Haven't I always shared my food with orphans?

17 Y si comí mi bocado solo, y no comió de él el huérfano;

17 or have eaten my morsel alone, and the fatherless has not eaten of it

18 From when I was young I was a father to orphans and took care of widows.

18 (Porque desde mi mocedad creció conmigo como con padre, y desde el vientre de mi madre fuí guía de la viuda;)

18 (no, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, I have guided her from my mother’s womb);

19 If ever I saw someone needing clothes, the poor without anything to wear,

19 Si he visto que pereciera alguno sin vestido, y al menesteroso sin cobertura;

19 if I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or that the needy had no covering;

20 they always thanked me for the wool clothing that kept them warm.

20 Si no me bendijeron sus lomos, y del vellón de mis ovejas se calentaron;

20 if his heart hasn’t blessed me, if he hasn’t been warmed with my sheep’s fleece;

21 If I raised my hand to hit an orphan, confident that if it came to court the judges would be on my side,

21 Si alcé contra el huérfano mi mano, aunque viese que me ayudarían en la puerta;

21 if I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, because I saw my help in the gate;

22 then let my shoulder be pulled from its joint, my arm wrenched out of its socket.

22 Mi espalda se caiga de mi hombro, y mi brazo sea quebrado de mi canilla.

22 then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder blade, and my arm be broken from the bone.

23 Since I'm terrified of what punishment God may have in store for me, and because of his majesty, I could never do this.

23 Porque temí el castigo de Dios, contra cuya alteza yo no tendría poder.

23 For calamity from God is a terror to me. Because of his majesty, I can do nothing.

24 Have I put my trust in gold, calling fine gold, ‘My security’?

24 Si puse en oro mi esperanza, y dije al oro: Mi confianza [eres] tú;

24 “If I have made gold my hope, and have said to the fine gold, ‘You are my confidence;’

25 Have I delighted in being rich, happy at all my wealth I had gained?

25 Si me alegré de que mi hacienda se multiplicase, y de que mi mano hallase mucho;

25 If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because my hand had gotten much;

26 Have I looked at the sun shining so brilliantly or the moon moving in majesty across the sky

26 Si he mirado al sol cuando resplandecía, y á la luna cuando iba hermosa,

26 if I have seen the sun when it shined, or the moon moving in splendor,

27 and been tempted to secretly worship them by kissing my hand to them in devotion?

27 Y mi corazón se engañó en secreto, y mi boca besó mi mano:

27 and my heart has been secretly enticed, and my hand threw a kiss from my mouth;

28 This too would be a sin deserving punishment for it would mean I had denied God above.

28 Esto también fuera maldad juzgada; porque habría negado al Dios soberano.

28 this also would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges, for I would have denied the God who is above.

29 Have I ever been happy when disaster destroyed those who hated me, or celebrated when evil took them down?

29 Si me alegré en el quebrantamiento del que me aborrecía, y me regocijé cuando le halló el mal;

29 “If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him who hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him

30 I have never allowed my mouth to sin by putting a curse on someone's life.

30 (Que ni aun entregué al pecado mi paladar, pidiendo maldición para su alma;)

30 (I have certainly not allowed my mouth to sin by asking his life with a curse);

31 Haven't my family asked, ‘Is there anyone who has not eaten as much as they wanted of his food?’

31 Cuando mis domésticos decían: ¡Quién nos diese de su carne! nunca nos hartaríamos.

31 if the men of my tent have not said, ‘Who can find one who has not been filled with his meat?’

32 I have never let strangers sleep in the street; I have opened my doors to travelers.

32 El extranjero no tenía fuera la noche; mis puertas abría al caminante.

32 (the foreigner has not camped in the street, but I have opened my doors to the traveler);

33 Have I concealed my sins from others, hiding my wrongdoing deep inside me?

33 Si encubrí, como los hombres mis prevaricaciones, escondiendo en mi seno mi iniquidad;

33 if like Adam I have covered my transgressions, by hiding my iniquity in my heart,

34 Was I afraid of what everybody else would think, scared of the contempt families would show me, so that I kept quiet and didn't go outside?

34 Porque quebrantaba á la gran multitud, y el menosprecio de las familias me atemorizó, y callé, y no salí de mi puerta:

34 because I feared the great multitude, and the contempt of families terrified me, so that I kept silence, and didn’t go out of the door—

35 Why won't anyone listen to what I'm saying! I'm signing my name to endorse everything I've said. Let the Almighty answer me. Let my accuser write down what he is charging me with.

35 ¡Quién me diera quien me oyese! He aquí mi impresión [es] que el Omnipotente testificaría por mí, aunque mi adversario me hiciera el proceso.

35 oh that I had one to hear me! Behold, here is my signature! Let the Almighty answer me! Let the accuser write my indictment!

36 I would hold them up high; I would wear them on my head like a crown.

36 Ciertamente yo lo llevaría sobre mi hombro, y me lo ataría en lugar de corona.

36 Surely I would carry it on my shoulder, and I would bind it to me as a crown.

37 I would explain to him everything I'd done; I would hold my head high before him.

37 Yo le contaría el número de mis pasos, y como príncipe me llegaría á él.

37 I would declare to him the number of my steps. I would go near to him like a prince.

38 If my land has cried out against me; if her furrows have wept over me;

38 Si mi tierra clama contra mí, y lloran todos sus surcos;

38 If my land cries out against me, and its furrows weep together;

39 if I have taken its crops without payment or if I have caused harm to the farmers;

39 Si comí su sustancia sin dinero, ó afligí el alma de sus dueños;

39 if I have eaten its fruits without money, or have caused its owners to lose their life,

40 then let thorns grow instead of wheat, and weeds instead of barley.” The words of Job are ended.

40 En lugar de trigo me nazcan abrojos, y espinas en lugar de cebada. Acábanse las palabras de Job.

40 let briers grow instead of wheat, and stinkweed instead of barley.” The words of Job are ended.

Cita 31:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXXIII)
And if thou wouldest also hear of his strivings after continence, hearken to him when he saith, "I made a covenant with mine eyes, that I should not think upon a maid." For this cause his wife did not break his spirit, for he loved her even before this, not however immoderately, but as is due to a wife.
