Reina-Valera 1909
1Then Zophar the Naamathite replied:
1Y RESPONDIÓ Sophar Naamathita, y dijo:
2“So my anxious thoughts compel me to answer, because of the turmoil within me.
2Por cierto mis pensamientos me hacen responder, y por tanto me apresuro.
3I have heard a rebuke that insults me, and my understanding prompts a reply.
3La reprensión de mi censura he oído, y háceme responder el espíritu de mi inteligencia.
4Do you not know that from antiquity, since man was placed on the earth,
4¿No sabes esto que fué siempre, desde el tiempo que fué puesto el hombre sobre la tierra,
5the triumph of the wicked has been brief and the joy of the godless momentary?
5Que la alegría de los impíos es breve, y el gozo del hipócrita por un momento?
6Though his arrogance reaches the heavens, and his head touches the clouds,
6Si subiere su altivez hasta el cielo, y su cabeza tocare en las nubes,
7he will perish forever, like his own dung; those who had seen him will ask, ‘Where is he?’
7Con su estiércol perecerá para siempre: los que le hubieren visto, dirán: ¿Qué es de él?
8He will fly away like a dream, never to be found; he will be chased away like a vision in the night.
8Como sueño volará, y no será hallado: y disiparáse como visión nocturna.
9The eye that saw him will see him no more, and his place will no longer behold him.
9El ojo que le habrá visto, nunca más le verá; ni su lugar le echará más de ver.
10His sons will seek the favor of the poor, for his own hands must return his wealth.
10Sus hijos pobres andarán rogando; y sus manos tornarán lo que él robó.
11The youthful vigor that fills his bones will lie down with him in the dust.
11Sus huesos están llenos de sus mocedades, y con él serán sepultados en el polvo.
12Though evil is sweet in his mouth and he conceals it under his tongue,
12Si el mal se endulzó en su boca, si lo ocultaba debajo de su lengua;
13though he cannot bear to let it go and keeps it in his mouth,
13Si le parecía bien, y no lo dejaba, mas antes lo detenía entre su paladar;
14yet in his stomach his food sours into the venom of cobras within him.
14Su comida se mudará en sus entrañas, hiel de áspides será dentro de él.
15He swallows wealth but vomits it out; God will force it from his stomach.
15Devoró riquezas, mas vomitarálas; de su vientre las sacará Dios.
16He will suck the poison of cobras; the fangs of a viper will kill him.
16Veneno de áspides chupará; matarálo lengua de víbora.
17He will not enjoy the streams, the rivers flowing with honey and cream.
17No verá los arroyos, los ríos, los torrentes de miel y de manteca.
18He must return the fruit of his labor without consuming it; he cannot enjoy the profits of his trading.
18Restituirá el trabajo conforme á la hacienda que tomó; y no tragará, ni gozará.
19For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor; he has seized houses he did not build.
19Por cuanto quebrantó y desamparó á los pobres, robó casas, y no las edificó;
20Because his appetite is never satisfied, he cannot escape with his treasure.
20Por tanto, no sentirá él sosiego en su vientre, ni salvará nada de lo que codiciaba.
21Nothing is left for him to consume; thus his prosperity will not endure.
21No quedó nada que no comiese: por tanto su bien no será durable.
22In the midst of his plenty, he will be distressed; the full force of misery will come upon him.
22Cuando fuere lleno su bastimento, tendrá angustia: las manos todas de los malvados vendrán sobre él.
23When he has filled his stomach, God will vent His fury upon him, raining it down on him as he eats.
23Cuando se pusiere á henchir su vientre, Dios enviará sobre él el furor de su ira, y harála llover sobre él y sobre su comida.
24Though he flees from an iron weapon, a bronze-tipped arrow will pierce him.
24Huirá de las armas de hierro, y el arco de acero le atravesará.
25It is drawn out of his back, the gleaming point from his liver. Terrors come over him.
25Desenvainará y sacará saeta de su aljaba, y relumbrante pasará por su hiel: sobre él vendrán terrores.
26Total darkness is reserved for his treasures. A fire unfanned will consume him and devour what is left in his tent.
26Todas tinieblas están guardadas para sus secretos: fuego no soplado lo devorará; su sucesor será quebrantado en su tienda.
27The heavens will expose his iniquity, and the earth will rise up against him.
27Los cielos descubrirán su iniquidad, y la tierra se levantará contra él.
28The possessions of his house will be removed, flowing away on the day of God’s wrath.
28Los renuevos de su casa serán trasportados; serán derramados en el día de su furor.
29This is the wicked man’s portion from God, the inheritance God has appointed him.”
29Esta es la parte que Dios apareja al hombre impío, y la heredad que Dios le señala por su palabra.
