1Y RESPONDIÓ Job, y dijo:
1Then Job answered and said:
2Muchas veces he oído cosas como estas: consoladores molestos sois todos vosotros.
2I have heard many such things; sorry comforters are ye all.
3¿Tendrán fin las palabras ventosas? ó ¿qué te animará á responder?
3Shall windy words have an end? Or what provoketh thee that thou answerest?
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.
4I also could speak as ye do; if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could join words together against you, and shake my head at you.
5Mas yo os alentaría con mis palabras, y la consolación de mis labios apaciguaría el dolor vuestro .
5I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips would assuage your grief.
6Si hablo, mi dolor no cesa; y si dejo de hablar , no se aparta de mí.
6Though I speak, my pain is not assuaged; and though I forbear, what am I eased?
7Empero ahora me ha fatigado: has tú asolado toda mi compañía.
7But now He hath made me weary; Thou hast made desolate all my company.
8Tú me has arrugado; testigo es mi flacura, que se levanta contra mí para testificar en mi rostro.
8And Thou hast shrivelled me up, which is a witness against me; and my leanness riseth up against me, it testifieth to my face.
9Su furor me destrizó, y me ha sido contrario: crujió sus dientes contra mí; contra mí aguzó sus ojos mi enemigo.
9He hath torn me in His wrath, and hated me; He hath gnashed upon me with His teeth; mine adversary sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
10Abrieron contra mí su boca; hirieron mis mejillas con afrenta; contra mí se juntaron todos.
10They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek scornfully; they gather themselves together against me.
11Hame entregado Dios al mentiroso, y en las manos de los impíos me hizo estremecer
11God delivereth me to the ungodly, and casteth me into the hands of the wicked.
12Próspero estaba, y desmenuzóme: y arrebatóme por la cerviz, y despedazóme, y púsome por blanco suyo.
12I was at ease, and He broke me asunder; yea, He hath taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces; He hath also set me up for His mark.
13Cercáronme sus flecheros, partió mis riñones, y no perdonó: mi hiel derramó por tierra.
13His archers compass me round about, He cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; He poureth out my gall upon the ground.
14Quebrantóme de quebranto sobre quebranto; corrió contra mí como un gigante.
14He breaketh me with breach upon breach; He runneth upon me like a giant.
15Yo cosí saco sobre mi piel, y cargué mi cabeza de polvo.
15I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and have laid my horn in the dust.
16Mi rostro está enlodado con lloro, y mis párpados entenebrecidos:
16My face is reddened with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
17A pesar de no haber iniquidad en mis manos, y de haber sido mi oración pura.
17Although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.
18¡Oh tierra! no cubras mi sangre, y no haya lugar á mi clamor.
18O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no resting-place.
19Mas he aquí que en los cielos está mi testigo, y mi testimonio en las alturas.
19Even now, behold, my Witness is in heaven, and He that testifieth of me is on high.
20Disputadores son mis amigos: mas á Dios destilarán mis ojos.
20Mine inward thoughts are my intercessors, mine eye poureth out tears unto God;
21¡Ojalá pudiese disputar el hombre con Dios, como con su prójimo!
21That He would set aright a man contending with God, as a son of man setteth aright his neighbour!
22Mas los años contados vendrán, y yo iré el camino por donde no volveré.
22For the years that are few are coming on, and I shall go the way whence I shall not return.
