1And Eliphaz the Themanite, answered, and said:
1Y RESPONDIÓ Eliphaz Temanita, y dijo:
2Will a wise man answer as if he were speaking in the wind, and fill his stomach with burning heat?
2¿Si proferirá el sabio vana sabiduría, y henchirá su vientre de viento solano?
3Thou reprovest him by words, who is not equal to thee, and thou speakest that which is not good for thee.
3¿Disputará con palabras inútiles, y con razones sin provecho?
4As much as is in thee, thou hast made void fear, and hast taken away prayers from before God.
4Tú también disipas el temor, y menoscabas la oración delante de Dios.
5For thy iniquity hath taught thy mouth, and thou imitatest the tongue of blasphemers.
5Porque tu boca declaró tu iniquidad, pues has escogido el hablar de los astutos.
6Thy own mouth shall condemn thee, and not I: and thy own lips shall answer thee.
6Tu boca te condenará, y no yo; y tus labios testificarán contra ti.
7Art thou the first man that was born, or wast thou made before the hills?
7¿Naciste tú primero que Adam? ¿ó fuiste formado antes que los collados?
8Hast thou heard God’s counsel, and shall his wisdom be inferior to thee?
8¿Oíste tú el secreto de Dios, que detienes en ti solo la sabiduría?
9What knowest thou that we are ignorant of? what dost thou understand that we know not?
9¿Qué sabes tú que no sepamos? ¿qué entiendes que no se halle en nosotros?
10There are with us also aged and ancient men, much elder than thy fathers.
10Entre nosotros también hay cano, también hay viejo mucho mayor en días que tu padre.
11Is it a great matter that God should comfort thee? but thy wicked words hinder this.
11¿En tan poco tienes las consolaciones de Dios? ¿tienes acaso alguna cosa oculta cerca de ti?
12Why doth thy heart elevate thee, and why dost thou stare with thy eyes, as if they were thinking great things?
12¿Por qué te enajena tu corazón, y por qué guiñan tus ojos,
13Why doth thy spirit swell against God, to utter such words out of thy mouth?
13Pues haces frente á Dios con tu espíritu, y sacas tales palabras de tu boca?
14What is man that he should be without spot, and he that is born of a woman that he should appear just?
14¿Qué cosa es el hombre para que sea limpio, y que se justifique el nacido de mujer?
15Behold among his saints none is unchangeable, and the heavens are not pure in his sight.
15He aquí que en sus santos no confía, y ni los cielos son limpios delante de sus ojos:
16How much more is man abominable, and unprofitable, who drinketh iniquity like water?
16¿Cuánto menos el hombre abominable y vil, que bebe la iniquidad como agua?
17I will shew thee, hear me: and I will tell thee what I have seen.
17Escúchame; yo te mostraré y te contaré lo que he visto:
18Wise men confess and hide not their fathers.
18(Lo que los sabios nos contaron de sus padres, y no lo encubrieron;
19To whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger hath passed among them.
19A los cuales solos fué dada la tierra, y no pasó extraño por medio de ellos:)
20The wicked man is proud all his days, and the number of the years of his tyranny is uncertain.
20Todos los días del impío, él es atormentado de dolor, y el número de años es escondido al violento.
21The sound of dread is always in his ears: and when there is peace, he always suspecteth treason.
21Estruendos espantosos hay en sus oídos; en la paz le vendrá quien lo asuele.
22He believeth not that he may return from darkness to light, looking round about for the sword on every side.
22El no creerá que ha de volver de las tinieblas, y está mirando al cuchillo.
23When he moveth himself to seek bread, he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
23Desasosegado á comer siempre, sabe que le está aparejado día de tinieblas.
24Tribulation shall terrify him, and distress shall surround him, as a king that is prepared for the battle.
24Tribulación y angustia le asombrarán, y esforzaránse contra él como un rey apercibido para la batalla.
25For he hath stretched out his hand against God, and hath strengthened himself against the Almighty.
25Por cuanto él extendió su mano contra Dios, y se esforzó contra el Todopoderoso,
26He hath run against him with his neck raised up, and is armed with a fat neck.
26El le acometerá en la cerviz, en lo grueso de las hombreras de sus escudos:
27Fatness hath covered his face, and the fat hangeth down on his sides.
27Porque cubrió su rostro con su gordura, é hizo pliegues sobre los ijares;
28He hath dwelt in desolate cities, and in desert houses that are reduced into heaps.
28Y habitó las ciudades asoladas, las casas inhabitadas, que estaban puestas en montones.
29He shall not be enriched, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he push his root in the earth.
29No enriquecerá, ni será firme su potencia, ni extenderá por la tierra su hermosura.
30He shall not depart out of darkness: the flame shall dry up his branches, and he shall be taken away by the breath of his own month.
30No se escapará de las tinieblas: la llama secará sus ramos, y con el aliento de su boca perecerá.
31He shall not believe, being vainly deceived by error, that he may be redeemed with any price.
31No confíe el iluso en la vanidad; porque ella será su recompensa.
32Before his days be full he shall perish: and his hands shall wither away.
32El será cortado antes de su tiempo, y sus renuevos no reverdecerán.
33He shall be blasted as a vine when its grapes are in the first flower, and as an olive tree that casteth its flower.
33El perderá su agraz como la vid, y derramará su flor como la oliva.
34For the congregation of the hypocrite is barren, and fire shall devour their tabernacles, who love to take bribes.
34Porque la sociedad de los hipócritas será asolada, y fuego consumirá las tiendas de soborno.
35He hath conceived sorrow, and hath brought forth iniquity, and his womb prepareth deceits.
35Concibieron dolor, y parieron iniquidad; y las entrañas de ellos meditan engaño.
