1Then Job answered, and said:
1Y RESPONDIÓ Job, y dijo:
2Now also my words are in bitterness, and the hand of my scourge is more grievous than my mourning.
2Hoy también hablaré con amargura; que es más grave mi llaga que mi gemido.
3Who will grant me that I might know and find him, and come even to his throne?
3¡Quién me diera el saber dónde hallar á Dios! yo iría hasta su silla.
4I would set judgment before him, and would fill my mouth with complaints.
4Ordenaría juicio delante de él, y henchiría mi boca de argumentos.
5That I might know the words that he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.
5Yo sabría lo que él me respondería, y entendería lo que me dijese.
6I would not that he should contend with me with much strength, nor overwhelm me with the weight of his greatness.
6¿Pleitearía conmigo con grandeza de fuerza? No: antes él la pondría en mí.
7Let him propose equity against me, and let my judgment come to victory.
7Allí el justo razonaría con él: y escaparía para siempre de mi juez.
8But if I go to the east, he appeareth not; if to the west, I shall not understand him.
8He aquí yo iré al oriente, y no lo hallaré ; y al occidente, y no lo percibiré:
9If to the left hand, what shall I do? I shall not take hold on him: if I turn myself to the right hand, I shall not see him.
9Si al norte él obrare, yo no lo veré; al mediodía se esconderá, y no lo veré.
10But he knoweth my way, and has tried me as gold that passeth through the fire:
10Mas él conoció mi camino: probaráme, y saldré como oro.
11My foot hath followed his steps, I have kept his way, and have not declined from it.
11Mis pies tomaron su rastro; guardé su camino, y no me aparté.
12I have not departed from the commandments of his lips, and the words of his mouth I have hid in my bosom.
12Del mandamiento de sus labios nunca me separé; guardé las palabras de su boca más que mi comida.
13For he is alone, and no man can turn away his thought: and whatsoever is soul hath desired, that hath he done.
13Empero si él se determina en una cosa, ¿quién lo apartará? Su alma deseó, é hizo.
14And when he shall have fulfilled his will in me, many other like things are also at hand with him.
14El pues acabará lo que ha determinado de mí: y muchas cosas como estas hay en él.
15And therefore I am troubled at his presence, and when I consider him I am made pensive with fear.
15Por lo cual yo me espanto en su presencia: consideraré, y temerélo.
16God hath softened my heart, and the Almighty hath troubled me.
16Dios ha enervado mi corazón, y hame turbado el Omnipotente.
17For I have not perished because of the darkness that hangs over me, neither hath the mist covered my face.
17¿Por qué no fuí yo cortado delante de las tinieblas, y cubrió con oscuridad mi rostro?
