Reina-Valera 1909
1But now the younger in time scorn me, whose fathers I would not have set with the dogs of my flock:
1MAS ahora los más mozos de días que yo, se ríen de mí; cuyos padres yo desdeñara ponerlos con los perros de mi ganado.
2The strength of whose hands was to me as nothing, and they were thought unworthy of life itself.
2Porque ¿para qué yo habría menester la fuerza de sus manos, en los cuales había perecido con el tiempo?
3Barren with want and hunger, who gnawed in the wilderness, disfigured with calamity and misery.
3Por causa de la pobreza y del hambre andaban solos; huían á la soledad, á lugar tenebroso, asolado y desierto.
4And they ate grass, and barks of trees, and the root of junipers was their food.
4Que cogían malvas entre los arbustos, y raíces de enebro para calentarse.
5Who snatched up these things out of the valleys, and when they had found any of them, they ran to them with a cry.
5Eran echados de entre las gentes , y todos les daban grita como al ladrón.
6They dwelt in the desert places of torrents, and in caves of earth, or upon the gravel.
6Habitaban en las barrancas de los arroyos, en las cavernas de la tierra, y en las rocas.
7They pleased themselves among these kind of things, and counted it delightful to be under the briers.
7Bramaban entre las matas, y se reunían debajo de las espinas.
8The children of foolish and base men, and not appearing at all upon the earth.
8Hijos de viles, y hombres sin nombre, más bajos que la misma tierra.
9Now I am turned into their song, and am become their byword.
9Y ahora yo soy su canción, y he sido hecho su refrán.
10They abhor me, and flee far from me, and are not afraid to spit in my face.
10Abomínanme, aléjanse de mí, y aun de mi rostro no detuvieron su saliva.
11For he hath opened his quiver, and hath afflicted me, and hath put a bridle into my mouth.
11Porque Dios desató mi cuerda, y me afligió, por eso se desenfrenaron delante de mi rostro.
12At the right hand of my rising, my calamities forthwith arose: they have overthrown my feet, and have overwhelmed me with their paths as with waves.
12A la mano derecha se levantaron los jóvenes; empujaron mis pies, y sentaron contra mí las vías de su ruina.
13They have destroyed my ways, they have lain in wait against me, and they have prevailed, and there was none to help.
13Mi senda desbarataron, aprovecháronse de mi quebrantamiento, contra los cuales no hubo ayudador.
14They have rushed in upon me, as when a wall is broken, and a gate opened, and have rolled themselves down to my miseries.
14Vinieron como por portillo ancho, revolviéronse á mi calamidad.
15I am brought to nothing: as a wind thou hast taken away my desire: and my prosperity hath passed away like a cloud.
15Hanse revuelto turbaciones sobre mí; combatieron como viento mi alma, y mi salud pasó como nube.
16And now my soul fadeth within myself, and the days of affliction possess me.
16Y ahora mi alma está derramada en mí; días de aflicción me han aprehendido.
17In the night my bone is pierced with sorrows: and they that feed upon me, do not sleep.
17De noche taladra sobre mí mis huesos, y mis pulsos no reposan.
18With the multitude of them my garment is consumed, and they have girded me about, as with the collar of my coat.
18Con la grande copia de materia mi vestidura está demudada; cíñeme como el cuello de mi túnica.
19I am compared to dirt, and am likened to embers and ashes.
19Derribóme en el lodo, y soy semejante al polvo y á la ceniza.
20I cry to thee, and thou hearest me not: I stand up, and thou dost not regard me.
20Clamo á ti, y no me oyes; preséntome, y no me atiendes.
21Thou art changed to be cruel toward me, and in the hardness of thy hand thou art against me.
21Haste tornado cruel para mí: con la fortaleza de tu mano me amenazas.
22Thou hast lifted me up, and set me as it were upon the wind, and thou hast mightily dashed me.
22Levantásteme, é hicísteme cabalgar sobre el viento, y disolviste mi sustancia.
23I know that thou wilt deliver me to death, where a house is appointed for every one that liveth.
23Porque yo conozco que me reduces á la muerte; y á la casa determinada á todo viviente.
24But yet thou stretchest not forth thy hand to their consumption: and if they shall fall down thou wilt save.
24Mas él no extenderá la mano contra el sepulcro; ¿clamarán los sepultados cuando él los quebrantare?
25I wept heretofore for him that was afflicted, and my soul had compassion on the poor.
25¿No lloré yo al afligido? Y mi alma ¿no se entristeció sobre el menesteroso?
26I expected good things, and evils are come upon me: I waited for light, and darkness broke out.
26Cuando esperaba yo el bien, entonces vino el mal; y cuando esperaba luz, la oscuridad vino.
27My inner parts have boiled without any rest, the days of affliction have prevented me.
27Mis entrañas hierven, y no reposan; días de aflicción me han sobrecogido.
28I went mourning without indignation; I rose up, and cried in the crowd.
28Denegrido ando, y no por el sol: levantádome he en la congregación, y clamado.
29I was the brother of dragons, and companion of ostriches.
29He venido á ser hermano de los dragones, y compañero de los buhos.
30My skin is become black upon me, and my bones are dried up with heat.
30Mi piel está denegrida sobre mí, y mis huesos se secaron con ardentía.
31My harp is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of those that weep.
31Y hase tornado mi arpa en luto, y mi órgano en voz de lamentadores.
