LSV Literal Standard Version WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos) 1 And Elihu answers and says: 1 ADEMÁS respondió Eliú, y dijo:
1 Moreover Elihu answered,
2 “Hear, O wise men, my words, || And, O knowing ones, give ear to me. 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 palate tastes to eat. 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 for ourselves, || Let us know among ourselves what [is] good. 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 have been righteous, || And God has turned aside my right, 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 Against my right do I lie? My arrow [is] mortal—without transgression. 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 Who [is] a man like Job? He drinks scoffing 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 And he has traveled for company || With workers of iniquity, || So as to go with men of wickedness. 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 he has said, It does not profit a man || When he delights himself with God. 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 Therefore, O men of heart, listen to me; Far be it from God to do wickedness, || And [from] the Mighty to do perverseness, 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 For He repays the work of man to him, || And according to the path of each He causes him to find. 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 Indeed, truly, God does not do wickedly, || And the Mighty does not pervert 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 Who has inspected for Himself the earth? And who has placed all the habitable world? 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 If He sets His heart on him, || [If] He gathers His Spirit and His breath to 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 expires together, || And man returns to dust. 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 And if [there is] understanding, hear this, || Give ear to the voice of my 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 Indeed, does one hating justice govern? Or do you condemn the Most 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 Who has said to a king, Worthless, || To princes, Wicked? 18 ¿Hase de decir al rey: Perverso; y á los príncipes: Impíos?
18 who says to a king, ‘Vile!’ or to nobles, ‘Wicked!’?
19 That has not accepted the person of princes, || Nor has known the rich before the poor, || For all of them [are] a work of His hands. 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 [In] a moment they die, || And at midnight people shake, || And they pass away, || And they remove the mighty without hand. 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 His eyes [are] on the ways of each, || And He sees all his steps. 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 There is no darkness nor death-shade, || For workers of iniquity to be hidden there; 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 does not permit man anymore, || To go to God in judgment, 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 He breaks the mighty—no searching! And He appoints others in their stead. 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 Therefore He knows their works, || And He has overturned by night, || And they are bruised. 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 As wicked He has struck them, || In the place of beholders. 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 that against right || They have turned aside from after Him, || And have considered none of His ways, 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 To cause to come to Him || The cry of the poor, || And He hears the cry of the afflicted. 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 gives rest, and who makes wrong? And hides the face, and who beholds it? And in reference to a nation and to a man, || [It is] the same. 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 From the reigning of a profane man, || From the snares of a 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 has any said to God: I have taken away, || I do not do corruptly, 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 Besides [that which] I see, You show me, || If I have done iniquity—I do not add? 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 Does He repay by you, that you have refused—That you choose, and not I? And what you have known, speak. 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 Let men of heart say to me, || And a wise man is listening to me: 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 Job—he does not speak with knowledge, || And his words [are] not with wisdom. 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 My Father! Let Job be tried—to victory, || Because of answers for men of iniquity, 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 For he adds to his sin, || He vomits transgression among us, || And multiplies his sayings to God.” 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.”
