1Y RESPONDIÓ Sophar Naamathita, y dijo:
1Then Sophar the Naamathite answered, and said:
2Por cierto mis pensamientos me hacen responder, y por tanto me apresuro.
2Therefore various thoughts succeed one another in me, and my mind is hurried away to different things.
3La reprensión de mi censura he oído, y háceme responder el espíritu de mi inteligencia.
3The doctrine with which thou reprovest me, I will hear, and the spirit of my understanding shall answer for me.
4¿No sabes esto que fué siempre, desde el tiempo que fué puesto el hombre sobre la tierra,
4This I know from the beginning, since man was placed upon the earth,
5Que la alegría de los impíos es breve, y el gozo del hipócrita por un momento?
5That the praise of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment.
6Si subiere su altivez hasta el cielo, y su cabeza tocare en las nubes,
6If his pride mount up even to heaven, and his head touch the clouds:
7Con su estiércol perecerá para siempre: los que le hubieren visto, dirán: ¿Qué es de él?
7In the end he shall be destroyed like a dunghill, and they that has seen him shall say: Where is he?
8Como sueño volará, y no será hallado: y disiparáse como visión nocturna.
8As a dream that fleeth away he shall not be found, he shall pass as a vision of the night:
9El ojo que le habrá visto, nunca más le verá; ni su lugar le echará más de ver.
9The eyes that had seen him, shall see him no more, neither shall his place any more behold him.
10Sus hijos pobres andarán rogando; y sus manos tornarán lo que él robó.
10His children shall be oppressed with want, and his hands shall render him his sorrow.
11Sus huesos están llenos de sus mocedades, y con él serán sepultados en el polvo.
11His bones shall be filled with the vices of his youth, and they shall sleep with him in the dust.
12Si el mal se endulzó en su boca, si lo ocultaba debajo de su lengua;
12For when evil shall be sweet in his mouth, he will hide it under his tongue.
13Si le parecía bien, y no lo dejaba, mas antes lo detenía entre su paladar;
13He will spare it, and not leave it, and will hide it in his throat.
14Su comida se mudará en sus entrañas, hiel de áspides será dentro de él.
14His bread in his belly shall be turned into the gall of asps within him.
15Devoró riquezas, mas vomitarálas; de su vientre las sacará Dios.
15The riches which he hath swallowed; he shall vomit up, and God shall draw them out of his belly.
16Veneno de áspides chupará; matarálo lengua de víbora.
16He shall suck the head of asps, and the viper’s tongue shall kill him.
17No verá los arroyos, los ríos, los torrentes de miel y de manteca.
17(Let him not see the streams of the river, the brooks of honey and of butter.)
18Restituirá el trabajo conforme á la hacienda que tomó; y no tragará, ni gozará.
18He shall be punished for all that he did, and yet shall not be consumed: according to the multitude of his devices so also shall he suffer.
19Por cuanto quebrantó y desamparó á los pobres, robó casas, y no las edificó;
19Because he broke in and stripped the poor: he hath violently taken away a house which he did not build.
20Por tanto, no sentirá él sosiego en su vientre, ni salvará nada de lo que codiciaba.
20And yet his belly was not filled: and when he hath the things he coveted, he shall not be able to possess them.
21No quedó nada que no comiese: por tanto su bien no será durable.
21There was nothing left of his meat, and therefore nothing shall continue of his goods:
22Cuando fuere lleno su bastimento, tendrá angustia: las manos todas de los malvados vendrán sobre él.
22When he shall be filled, he shall be straitened, he shall burn, and every sorrow shall fall upon him.
23Cuando se pusiere á henchir su vientre, Dios enviará sobre él el furor de su ira, y harála llover sobre él y sobre su comida.
23May his belly be filled, that God may send forth the wrath of his indignation upon him, and rain down his war upon him.
24Huirá de las armas de hierro, y el arco de acero le atravesará.
24He shall flee from weapons of iron, and shall fall upon a bow of brass.
25Desenvainará y sacará saeta de su aljaba, y relumbrante pasará por su hiel: sobre él vendrán terrores.
25The sword is drawn out, and cometh forth from its scabbard, and glittereth in his bitterness: the terrible ones shall go and come upon him.
26Todas tinieblas están guardadas para sus secretos: fuego no soplado lo devorará; su sucesor será quebrantado en su tienda.
26All darkness is hid in his secret places: a fire that is not kindled shall devour him, he shall be afflicted when left in his tabernacle.
27Los cielos descubrirán su iniquidad, y la tierra se levantará contra él.
27The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, and the earth shall rise up against him.
28Los renuevos de su casa serán trasportados; serán derramados en el día de su furor.
28The offspring of his house shall be exposed, he shall be pulled down in the day of God’s wrath.
29Esta es la parte que Dios apareja al hombre impío, y la heredad que Dios le señala por su palabra.
29This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the inheritance of his doings from the Lord.
