1Y RESPONDIÓ Eliphaz Temanita, y dijo:
1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
2¿Si proferirá el sabio vana sabiduría, y henchirá su vientre de viento solano?
2“Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge, and fill himself with the east wind?
3¿Disputará con palabras inútiles, y con razones sin provecho?
3Should he reason with unprofitable talk, or with speeches with which he can do no good?
4Tú también disipas el temor, y menoscabas la oración delante de Dios.
4Yes, you do away with fear, and hinder devotion before God.
5Porque tu boca declaró tu iniquidad, pues has escogido el hablar de los astutos.
5For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the language of the crafty.
6Tu boca te condenará, y no yo; y tus labios testificarán contra ti.
6Your own mouth condemns you, and not I. Yes, your own lips testify against you.
7¿Naciste tú primero que Adam? ¿ó fuiste formado antes que los collados?
7“Are you the first man who was born? Or were you brought out before the hills?
8¿Oíste tú el secreto de Dios, que detienes en ti solo la sabiduría?
8Have you heard the secret counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?
9¿Qué sabes tú que no sepamos? ¿qué entiendes que no se halle en nosotros?
9What do you know that we don’t know? What do you understand which is not in us?
10Entre nosotros también hay cano, también hay viejo mucho mayor en días que tu padre.
10With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men, much older than your father.
11¿En tan poco tienes las consolaciones de Dios? ¿tienes acaso alguna cosa oculta cerca de ti?
11Are the consolations of God too small for you, even the word that is gentle toward you?
12¿Por qué te enajena tu corazón, y por qué guiñan tus ojos,
12Why does your heart carry you away? Why do your eyes flash,
13Pues haces frente á Dios con tu espíritu, y sacas tales palabras de tu boca?
13that you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth?
14¿Qué cosa es el hombre para que sea limpio, y que se justifique el nacido de mujer?
14What is man, that he should be clean? What is he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
15He aquí que en sus santos no confía, y ni los cielos son limpios delante de sus ojos:
15Behold, he puts no trust in his holy ones. Yes, the heavens are not clean in his sight;
16¿Cuánto menos el hombre abominable y vil, que bebe la iniquidad como agua?
16how much less one who is abominable and corrupt, a man who drinks iniquity like water!
17Escúchame; yo te mostraré y te contaré lo que he visto:
17“I will show you, listen to me; that which I have seen I will declare
18(Lo que los sabios nos contaron de sus padres, y no lo encubrieron;
18(which wise men have told by their fathers, and have not hidden it;
19A los cuales solos fué dada la tierra, y no pasó extraño por medio de ellos:)
19to whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed among them):
20Todos los días del impío, él es atormentado de dolor, y el número de años es escondido al violento.
20the wicked man writhes in pain all his days, even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.
21Estruendos espantosos hay en sus oídos; en la paz le vendrá quien lo asuele.
21A sound of terrors is in his ears. In prosperity the destroyer will come on him.
22El no creerá que ha de volver de las tinieblas, y está mirando al cuchillo.
22He doesn’t believe that he will return out of darkness. He is waited for by the sword.
23Desasosegado á comer siempre, sabe que le está aparejado día de tinieblas.
23He wanders abroad for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’ He knows that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
24Tribulación y angustia le asombrarán, y esforzaránse contra él como un rey apercibido para la batalla.
24Distress and anguish make him afraid. They prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
25Por cuanto él extendió su mano contra Dios, y se esforzó contra el Todopoderoso,
25Because he has stretched out his hand against God, and behaves himself proudly against the Almighty,
26El le acometerá en la cerviz, en lo grueso de las hombreras de sus escudos:
26he runs at him with a stiff neck, with the thick shields of his bucklers,
27Porque cubrió su rostro con su gordura, é hizo pliegues sobre los ijares;
27because he has covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat on his thighs.
28Y habitó las ciudades asoladas, las casas inhabitadas, que estaban puestas en montones.
28He has lived in desolate cities, in houses which no one inhabited, which were ready to become heaps.
29No enriquecerá, ni será firme su potencia, ni extenderá por la tierra su hermosura.
29He will not be rich, neither will his substance continue, neither will their possessions be extended on the earth.
30No se escapará de las tinieblas: la llama secará sus ramos, y con el aliento de su boca perecerá.
30He will not depart out of darkness. The flame will dry up his branches. He will go away by the breath of God’s mouth.
31No confíe el iluso en la vanidad; porque ella será su recompensa.
31Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself, for emptiness will be his reward.
32El será cortado antes de su tiempo, y sus renuevos no reverdecerán.
32It will be accomplished before his time. His branch will not be green.
33El perderá su agraz como la vid, y derramará su flor como la oliva.
33He will shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and will cast off his flower as the olive tree.
34Porque la sociedad de los hipócritas será asolada, y fuego consumirá las tiendas de soborno.
34For the company of the godless will be barren, and fire will consume the tents of bribery.
35Concibieron dolor, y parieron iniquidad; y las entrañas de ellos meditan engaño.
35They conceive mischief and produce iniquity. Their heart prepares deceit.”
