Job 17

Reina-Valera 1909

World English Bible

1MI ALIENTO está corrompido, acórtanse mis días, y me está aparejado el sepulcro.

1“My spirit is consumed. My days are extinct and the grave is ready for me.

2No hay conmigo sino escarnecedores, en cuya acrimonia se detienen mis ojos.

2Surely there are mockers with me. My eye dwells on their provocation.

3Pon ahora, dame fianza para litigar contigo: ¿quién tocará ahora mi mano?

3“Now give a pledge. Be collateral for me with yourself. Who is there who will strike hands with me?

4Porque á éstos has tú escondido su corazón de inteligencia: por tanto, no los ensalzarás.

4For you have hidden their heart from understanding, therefore you will not exalt them.

5El que denuncia lisonjas á sus prójimos, los ojos de sus hijos desfallezcan.

5He who denounces his friends for plunder, even the eyes of his children will fail.

6El me ha puesto por parábola de pueblos, y delante de ellos he sido como tamboril.

6“But he has made me a byword of the people. They spit in my face.

7Y mis ojos se oscurecieron de desabrimiento, y mis pensamientos todos son como sombra.

7My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow. All my members are as a shadow.

8Los rectos se maravillarán de esto, y el inocente se levantará contra el hipócrita.

8Upright men will be astonished at this. The innocent will stir himself up against the godless.

9No obstante, proseguirá el justo su camino, y el limpio de manos aumentará la fuerza.

9Yet the righteous will hold to his way. He who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger.

10Mas volved todos vosotros, y venid ahora, que no hallaré entre vosotros sabio.

10But as for you all, come back. I will not find a wise man among you.

11Pasáronse mis días, fueron arrancados mis pensamientos, los designios de mi corazón.

11My days are past. My plans are broken off, as are the thoughts of my heart.

12Pusieron la noche por día, y la luz se acorta delante de las tinieblas.

12They change the night into day, saying ‘The light is near’ in the presence of darkness.

13Si yo espero, el sepulcro es mi casa: haré mi cama en las tinieblas.

13If I look for Sheol as my house, if I have spread my couch in the darkness,

14A la huesa tengo dicho: Mi padre eres tú; á los gusanos: Mi madre y mi hermana.

14if I have said to corruption, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ and ‘My sister,’

15¿Dónde pues estará ahora mi esperanza? y mi esperanza ¿quién la verá?

15where then is my hope? As for my hope, who will see it?

16A los rincones de la huesa descenderán, y juntamente descansarán en el polvo.

16Shall it go down with me to the gates of Sheol, or descend together into the dust?”
