1 Is there not an appointed time to man vpon earth? and are not his dayes as the dayes of an hyreling?
1 CIERTAMENTE tiempo [limitado] tiene el hombre sobre la tierra, y sus días son como los días del jornalero.
1 “Isn’t a man forced to labor on earth? Aren’t his days like the days of a hired hand?
2 As a seruant longeth for the shadowe, and as an hyreling looketh for the ende of his worke,
2 Como el siervo anhela la sombra, y como el jornalero espera [el reposo] de su trabajo:
2 As a servant who earnestly desires the shadow, as a hireling who looks for his wages,
3 So haue I had as an inheritance the moneths of vanitie, and painefull nights haue bene appointed vnto me.
3 Así poseo yo meses de vanidad, y noches de trabajo me dieron por cuenta.
3 so I am made to possess months of misery, wearisome nights are appointed to me.
4 If I layed me downe, I sayde, When shall I arise? and measuring the euening I am euen full with tossing to and from vnto the dawning of the day.
4 Cuando estoy acostado, digo: ¿Cuándo me levantaré? Y mide [mi corazón] la noche, y estoy harto de devaneos hasta el alba.
4 When I lie down, I say, ‘When will I arise, and the night be gone?’ I toss and turn until the dawning of the day.
5 My flesh is clothed with wormes and filthinesse of the dust: my skinne is rent, and become horrible.
5 Mi carne está vestida de gusanos, y de costras de polvo; mi piel hendida y abominable.
5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust. My skin closes up, and breaks out afresh.
6 My dayes are swifter then a weauers shittle, and they are spent without hope.
6 Y mis días fueron más ligeros que la lanzadera del tejedor, y fenecieron sin esperanza.
6 My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope.
7 Remember that my life is but a wind, and that mine eye shall not returne to see pleasure.
7 Acuérdate que mi vida es viento, y que mis ojos no volverán á ver el bien.
7 Oh remember that my life is a breath. My eye will no more see good.
8 The eye that hath seene me, shall see me no more: thine eyes are vpon me, and I shall be no longer.
8 Los ojos de los que me ven, no me verán más: tus ojos sobre mí, y dejaré de ser.
8 The eye of him who sees me will see me no more. Your eyes will be on me, but I will not be.
9 As the cloude vanisheth and goeth away, so he that goeth downe to the graue, shall come vp no more.
9 La nube se consume, y se va: así el que desciende al sepulcro no subirá;
9 As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away, so he who goes down to Sheol will come up no more.
10 He shall returne no more to his house, neither shall his place knowe him any more.
10 No tornará más á su casa, ni su lugar le conocerá más.
10 He will return no more to his house, neither will his place know him any more.
11 Therefore I will not spare my mouth, but will speake in the trouble of my spirite, and muse in the bitternesse of my minde.
11 Por tanto yo no reprimiré mi boca; hablaré en la angustia de mi espíritu, y quejaréme con la amargura de mi alma.
11 “Therefore I will not keep silent. I will speak in the anguish of my spirit. I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12 Am I a sea or a whalefish, that thou keepest me in warde?
12 ¿Soy yo la mar, ó ballena, que me pongas guarda?
12 Am I a sea, or a sea monster, that you put a guard over me?
13 When I say, My couch shall relieue me, and my bed shall bring comfort in my meditation,
13 Cuando digo: Mi cama me consolará, mi cama atenuará mis quejas;
13 When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me. My couch will ease my complaint,’
14 Then fearest thou me with dreames, and astonishest me with visions.
14 Entonces me quebrantarás con sueños, y me turbarás con visiones.
14 then you scare me with dreams and terrify me through visions,
15 Therefore my soule chuseth rather to be strangled and to die, then to be in my bones.
15 Y así mi alma tuvo por mejor el ahogamiento, y [quiso] la muerte más que mis huesos.
15 so that my soul chooses strangling, death rather than my bones.
16 I abhorre it, I shall not liue alway: spare me then, for my dayes are but vanitie.
16 Aburríme: no he de vivir yo para siempre; déjame, pues que mis días son vanidad.
16 I loathe my life. I don’t want to live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
17 What is man, that thou doest magnifie him, and that thou settest thine heart vpon him?
17 ¿Qué es el hombre, para que lo engrandezcas, y que pongas sobre él tu corazón,
17 What is man, that you should magnify him, that you should set your mind on him,
18 And doest visite him euery morning, and tryest him euery moment?
18 Y lo visites todas las mañanas, y todos los momentos lo pruebes?
18 that you should visit him every morning, and test him every moment?
19 Howe long will it be yer thou depart from me? thou wilt not let me alone whiles I may swallowe my spettle.
19 ¿Hasta cuándo no me dejarás, ni me soltarás hasta que trague mi saliva?
19 How long will you not look away from me, nor leave me alone until I swallow down my spittle?
20 I haue sinned, what shall I do vnto thee? O thou preseruer of me, why hast thou set me as a marke against thee, so that I am a burden vnto my selfe?
20 Pequé, ¿qué te haré, oh Guarda de los hombres? ¿por qué me has puesto contrario á ti, y que á mí mismo sea pesado?
20 If I have sinned, what do I do to you, you watcher of men? Why have you set me as a mark for you, so that I am a burden to myself?
21 And why doest thou not pardon my trespasse? and take away mine iniquitie? for nowe shall I sleepe in the dust, and if thou seekest me in the morning, I shall not be found.
21 ¿Y por qué no quitas mi rebelión, y perdonas mi iniquidad? porque ahora dormiré en el polvo, y si me buscares de mañana, ya no seré.
21 Why do you not pardon my disobedience, and take away my iniquity? For now will I lie down in the dust. You will seek me diligently, but I will not be.”
