1Then Job answered, and said:
1Y RESPONDIÓ Job, y dijo:
2I have often heard such things as these: you are all troublesome comforters.
2Muchas veces he oído cosas como estas: consoladores molestos sois todos vosotros.
3Shall windy words have no end? or is it any trouble to thee to speak?
3¿Tendrán fin las palabras ventosas? ó ¿qué te animará á responder?
4I also could speak like you: and would God your soul were for my soul.
4También yo hablaría como vosotros. Ojalá vuestra alma estuviera en lugar de la mía, que yo os tendría compañía en las palabras, y sobre vosotros movería mi cabeza.
5I would comfort you also with words, and would wag my head over you.
5Mas yo os alentaría con mis palabras, y la consolación de mis labios apaciguaría el dolor vuestro .
6I would strengthen you with my mouth, and would move my lips, as sparing you.
6Si hablo, mi dolor no cesa; y si dejo de hablar , no se aparta de mí.
7But what shall I do? If I speak, my pain will not rest: and if I hold my peace, it will not depart from me.
7Empero ahora me ha fatigado: has tú asolado toda mi compañía.
8But now my sorrow hath oppressed me, and all my limbs are brought to nothing.
8Tú me has arrugado; testigo es mi flacura, que se levanta contra mí para testificar en mi rostro.
9My wrinkles bear witness against me, and a false speaker riseth up against my face, contradicting me.
9Su furor me destrizó, y me ha sido contrario: crujió sus dientes contra mí; contra mí aguzó sus ojos mi enemigo.
10He hath gathered together his fury against me, and threatening me he hath gnashed with his teeth upon me: my enemy hath beheld me with terrible eyes.
10Abrieron contra mí su boca; hirieron mis mejillas con afrenta; contra mí se juntaron todos.
11They have opened their mouths upon me, and reproaching me they have struck me on the cheek, they are filled with my pains.
11Hame entregado Dios al mentiroso, y en las manos de los impíos me hizo estremecer
12God hath shut me up with the unjust man, and hath delivered me into the hands of the wicked.
12Próspero estaba, y desmenuzóme: y arrebatóme por la cerviz, y despedazóme, y púsome por blanco suyo.
13I that was formerly so wealthy, am all on a sudden broken to pieces: he hath taken me by my neck, he hath broken me, and hath set me up to be his mark.
13Cercáronme sus flecheros, partió mis riñones, y no perdonó: mi hiel derramó por tierra.
14He hath compassed me round about with his lances, he hath wounded my loins, he hath not spared, and hath poured out my bowels on the earth.
14Quebrantóme de quebranto sobre quebranto; corrió contra mí como un gigante.
15He hath torn me with wound upon wound, he hath rushed in upon me like a giant.
15Yo cosí saco sobre mi piel, y cargué mi cabeza de polvo.
16I have sowed sackcloth upon my skin, and have covered my flesh with ashes.
16Mi rostro está enlodado con lloro, y mis párpados entenebrecidos:
17My face is swollen with weeping, and my eyelids are dim.
17A pesar de no haber iniquidad en mis manos, y de haber sido mi oración pura.
18These things have I suffered without the iniquity of my hand, when I offered pure prayers to God.
18¡Oh tierra! no cubras mi sangre, y no haya lugar á mi clamor.
19O earth, cover not thou my blood, neither let my cry find a hiding place in thee.
19Mas he aquí que en los cielos está mi testigo, y mi testimonio en las alturas.
20For behold my witness is in heaven, and he that knoweth my conscience is on high.
20Disputadores son mis amigos: mas á Dios destilarán mis ojos.
21My friends are full of words: my eye poureth out tears to God.
21¡Ojalá pudiese disputar el hombre con Dios, como con su prójimo!
22And O that a man might so be judged with God, as the son of man is judged with his companion!
22Mas los años contados vendrán, y yo iré el camino por donde no volveré.
23For behold short years pass away and I am walking in a path by which I shall not return.
