Job 23

Reina-Valera 1909

Berean Standard Bible

1Y RESPONDIÓ Job, y dijo:

1Then Job answered:

2Hoy también hablaré con amargura; que es más grave mi llaga que mi gemido.

2“Even today my complaint is bitter. His hand is heavy despite my groaning.

3¡Quién me diera el saber dónde hallar á Dios! yo iría hasta su silla.

3If only I knew where to find Him, so that I could go to His seat.

4Ordenaría juicio delante de él, y henchiría mi boca de argumentos.

4I would plead my case before Him and fill my mouth with arguments.

5Yo sabría lo que él me respondería, y entendería lo que me dijese.

5I would learn how He would answer, and consider what He would say.

6¿Pleitearía conmigo con grandeza de fuerza? No: antes él la pondría en mí.

6Would He contend with me in His great power? No, He would certainly take note of me.

7Allí el justo razonaría con él: y escaparía para siempre de mi juez.

7Then an upright man could reason with Him, and I would be delivered forever from my Judge.

8He aquí yo iré al oriente, y no lo hallaré ; y al occidente, y no lo percibiré:

8If I go east, He is not there, and if I go west, I cannot find Him.

9Si al norte él obrare, yo no lo veré; al mediodía se esconderá, y no lo veré.

9When He is at work in the north, I cannot behold Him; when He turns to the south, I cannot see Him.

10Mas él conoció mi camino: probaráme, y saldré como oro.

10Yet He knows the way I have taken; when He has tested me, I will come forth as gold.

11Mis pies tomaron su rastro; guardé su camino, y no me aparté.

11My feet have followed in His tracks; I have kept His way without turning aside.

12Del mandamiento de sus labios nunca me separé; guardé las palabras de su boca más que mi comida.

12I have not departed from the command of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my daily bread.

13Empero si él se determina en una cosa, ¿quién lo apartará? Su alma deseó, é hizo.

13But He is unchangeable, and who can oppose Him? He does what He desires.

14El pues acabará lo que ha determinado de mí: y muchas cosas como estas hay en él.

14For He carries out His decree against me, and He has many such plans.

15Por lo cual yo me espanto en su presencia: consideraré, y temerélo.

15Therefore I am terrified in His presence; when I consider this, I fear Him.

16Dios ha enervado mi corazón, y hame turbado el Omnipotente.

16God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me.

17¿Por qué no fuí yo cortado delante de las tinieblas, y cubrió con oscuridad mi rostro?

17Yet I am not silenced by the darkness, by the thick darkness that covers my face.
