1Y RESPONDIÓ Eliphaz Temanita, y dijo:
1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
2¿Traerá el hombre provecho á Dios, porque el sabio sea provechoso á sí mismo?
2“Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.
3¿Tiene su contentamiento el Omnipotente en que tú seas justificado, ó provecho de que tú hagas perfectos tus caminos?
3Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous? Or does it benefit him that you make your ways perfect?
4¿Castigaráte acaso, ó vendrá contigo á juicio porque te teme?
4Is it for your piety that he reproves you, that he enters with you into judgment?
5Por cierto tu malicia es grande, y tus maldades no tienen fin.
5Isn’t your wickedness great? Neither is there any end to your iniquities.
6Porque sacaste prenda á tus hermanos sin causa, é hiciste desnudar las ropas de los desnudos.
6For you have taken pledges from your brother for nothing, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
7No diste de beber agua al cansado, y detuviste el pan al hambriento.
7You haven’t given water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.
8Empero el hombre pudiente tuvo la tierra; y habitó en ella el distinguido.
8But as for the mighty man, he had the earth. The honorable man, he lived in it.
9Las viudas enviaste vacías, y los brazos de los huérfanos fueron quebrados.
9You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
10Por tanto hay lazos alrededor de ti, y te turba espanto repentino;
10Therefore snares are around you. Sudden fear troubles you,
11O tinieblas, porque no veas; y abundancia de agua te cubre.
11or darkness, so that you can not see, and floods of waters cover you.
12¿No está Dios en la altura de los cielos? Mira lo encumbrado de las estrellas, cuán elevadas están.
12“Isn’t God in the heights of heaven? See the height of the stars, how high they are!
13¿Y dirás tú: Qué sabe Dios? ¿cómo juzgará por medio de la oscuridad?
13You say, ‘What does God know? Can he judge through the thick darkness?
14Las nubes son su escondedero, y no ve; y por el circuito del cielo se pasea.
14Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he doesn’t see. He walks on the vault of the sky.’
15¿Quieres tú guardar la senda antigua, que pisaron los hombres perversos?
15Will you keep the old way, which wicked men have trodden,
16Los cuales fueron cortados antes de tiempo, cuyo fundamento fué como un río derramado:
16who were snatched away before their time, whose foundation was poured out as a stream,
17Que decían á Dios: Apártate de nosotros. ¿Y qué les había hecho el Omnipotente?
17who said to God, ‘Depart from us!’ and, ‘What can the Almighty do for us?’
18Habíales él henchido sus casas de bienes. Sea empero el consejo de ellos lejos de mí.
18Yet he filled their houses with good things, but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
19Verán los justos y se gozarán; y el inocente los escarnecerá, diciendo :
19The righteous see it, and are glad. The innocent ridicule them,
20Fué cortada nuestra sustancia, habiendo consumido el fuego el resto de ellos.
20saying, ‘Surely those who rose up against us are cut off. The fire has consumed their remnant.’
21Amístate ahora con él, y tendrás paz; y por ello te vendrá bien.
21“Acquaint yourself with him now, and be at peace. By it, good will come to you.
22Toma ahora la ley de su boca, y pon sus palabras en tu corazón.
22Please receive instruction from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart.
23Si te tornares al Omnipotente, serás edificado; alejarás de tu tienda la aflicción;
23If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up, if you put away unrighteousness far from your tents.
24Y tendrás más oro que tierra, y como piedras de arroyos oro de Ophir;
24Lay your treasure in the dust, the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks.
25Y el Todopoderoso será tu defensa, y tendrás plata á montones.
25The Almighty will be your treasure, and precious silver to you.
26Porque entonces te deleitarás en el Omnipotente, y alzarás á Dios tu rostro.
26For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, and will lift up your face to God.
27Orarás á él, y él te oirá; y tú pagarás tus votos.
27You will make your prayer to him, and he will hear you. You will pay your vows.
28Determinarás asimismo una cosa, y serte ha firme; y sobre tus caminos resplandecerá luz.
28You will also decree a thing, and it will be established to you. Light will shine on your ways.
29Cuando fueren abatidos, dirás tú: Ensalzamiento habrá : y Dios salvará al humilde de ojos.
29When they cast down, you will say, ‘be lifted up.’ He will save the humble person.
30El libertará la isla del inocente; y por la limpieza de tus manos será librada.
30He will even deliver him who is not innocent. Yes, he will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”
