1Y RESPONDIÓ Job, y dijo:
1Then Job answered,
2Muchas veces he oído cosas como estas: consoladores molestos sois todos vosotros.
2“I have heard many such things. You are all miserable comforters!
3¿Tendrán fin las palabras ventosas? ó ¿qué te animará á responder?
3Shall vain words have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer?
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 you do. If your soul were in my soul’s place, 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 .
5but I would strengthen you with my mouth. The solace of my lips would relieve you.
6Si hablo, mi dolor no cesa; y si dejo de hablar , no se aparta de mí.
6“Though I speak, my grief is not subsided. Though I forbear, what am I eased?
7Empero ahora me ha fatigado: has tú asolado toda mi compañía.
7But now, God, you have surely worn me out. You have made all my company desolate.
8Tú me has arrugado; testigo es mi flacura, que se levanta contra mí para testificar en mi rostro.
8You have shriveled me up. This is a witness against me. My leanness rises up against me. It testifies 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 has torn me in his wrath and persecuted me. He has gnashed on me with his teeth. My adversary sharpens his eyes on me.
10Abrieron contra mí su boca; hirieron mis mejillas con afrenta; contra mí se juntaron todos.
10They have gaped on me with their mouth. They have struck me on the cheek reproachfully. They gather themselves together against me.
11Hame entregado Dios al mentiroso, y en las manos de los impíos me hizo estremecer
11God delivers me to the ungodly, and casts 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 apart. Yes, he has taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces. He has also set me up for his target.
13Cercáronme sus flecheros, partió mis riñones, y no perdonó: mi hiel derramó por tierra.
13His archers surround me. He splits my kidneys apart, and does not spare. He pours out my bile on the ground.
14Quebrantóme de quebranto sobre quebranto; corrió contra mí como un gigante.
14He breaks me with breach on breach. He runs at me like a giant.
15Yo cosí saco sobre mi piel, y cargué mi cabeza de polvo.
15I have sewed sackcloth on my skin, and have thrust my horn in the dust.
16Mi rostro está enlodado con lloro, y mis párpados entenebrecidos:
16My face is red with weeping. Deep darkness is on my eyelids,
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.
18“Earth, don’t cover my blood. Let my cry have no place to rest.
19Mas he aquí que en los cielos está mi testigo, y mi testimonio en las alturas.
19Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven. He who vouches for me is on high.
20Disputadores son mis amigos: mas á Dios destilarán mis ojos.
20My friends scoff at me. My eyes pour out tears to God,
21¡Ojalá pudiese disputar el hombre con Dios, como con su prójimo!
21that he would maintain the right of a man with God, of a son of man with his neighbor!
22Mas los años contados vendrán, y yo iré el camino por donde no volveré.
22For when a few years have come, I will go the way of no return.
