1POR tanto, Job, oye ahora mis razones, y escucha todas mis palabras.
1Hear therefore, O Job, my speeches, and hearken to all my words.
2He aquí yo abriré ahora mi boca, y mi lengua hablará en mi garganta.
2Behold now I have opened my mouth, let my tongue speak within my jaws.
3Mis razones declararán la rectitud de mi corazón, y mis labios proferirán pura sabiduría.
3My words are from my upright heart, and my lips shall speak a pure sentence.
4El espíritu de Dios me hizo, y la inspiración del Omnipotente me dió vida.
4The spirit of God made me, and the breath of the Almighty gave me life.
5Si pudieres, respóndeme; dispón tus palabras , está delante de mí.
5If thou canst, answer me, and stand up against my face.
6Heme aquí á mí en lugar de Dios, conforme á tu dicho: de lodo soy yo también formado.
6Behold God hath made me as well as thee, and of the same clay I also was formed.
7He aquí que mi terror no te espantará, ni mi mano se agravará sobre ti.
7But yet let not my wonder terrify thee, and let not my eloquence be burdensome to thee.
8De cierto tú dijiste á oídos míos, y yo oí la voz de tus palabras que decían :
8Now thou has said in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words:
9Yo soy limpio y sin defecto; y soy inocente, y no hay maldad en mí.
9I am clean, and without sin: I am unspotted, and there is no iniquity in me.
10He aquí que él buscó achaques contra mí, y me tiene por su enemigo;
10Because he hath found complaints against me, therefore he hath counted me for his enemy.
11Puso mis pies en el cepo, y guardó todas mis sendas.
11He hath put my feet in the stocks, he hath observed all my paths.
12He aquí en esto no has hablado justamente: yo te responderé que mayor es Dios que el hombre.
12Now this is the thing in which thou art not justified: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
13¿Por qué tomaste pleito contra él? Porque él no da cuenta de ninguna de sus razones.
13Dost thou strive against him, because he hath not answered thee to all words?
14Sin embargo, en una ó en dos maneras habla Dios; mas el hombre no entiende.
14God speaketh once, and repeateth not the selfsame thing the second time.
15Por sueño de visión nocturna, cuando el sueño cae sobre los hombres, cuando se adormecen sobre el lecho;
15By a dream in a vision by night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, and they are sleeping in their beds:
16Entonces revela al oído de los hombres, y les señala su consejo;
16Then he openeth the ears of men, and teaching instructeth them in what they are to learn.
17Para quitar al hombre de su obra, y apartar del varón la soberbia.
17That he may withdraw a man from the things he is doing, and may deliver him from pride.
18Detendrá su alma de corrupción, y su vida de que pase á cuchillo.
18Rescuing his soul from corruption: and his life from passing to the sword.
19También sobre su cama es castigado con dolor fuerte en todos sus huesos,
19He rebuketh also by sorrow in the bed, and he maketh all his bones to wither.
20Que le hace que su vida aborrezca el pan, y su alma la comida suave.
20Bread becometh abominable to him in his life, and to his soul the meat which before he desired.
21Su carne desfallece sin verse, y sus huesos, que antes no se veían, aparecen.
21His flesh shall be consumed away, and his bones that were covered shall be made bare.
22Y su alma se acerca al sepulcro, y su vida á los que causan la muerte.
22His soul hath drawn near to corruption, and his life to the destroyers.
23Si tuviera cerca de él algún elocuente anunciador muy escogido, que anuncie al hombre su deber;
23If there shall be an angel speaking for him, one among thousands, to declare man’s uprightness,
24Que le diga que Dios tuvo de él misericordia, que lo libró de descender al sepulcro, que halló redención:
24He shall have mercy on him, and shall say: Deliver him, that he may not go down to corruption: I have found wherein I may be merciful to him.
25Enterneceráse su carne más que de niño, volverá á los días de su mocedad.
25His flesh is consumed with punishment, let him return to the days of his youth.
26Orará á Dios, y le amará, y verá su faz con júbilo: y él restituirá al hombre su justicia.
26He shall pray to God, and he will be gracious to him: and he shall see his face with joy, and he will render to man his justice.
27El mira sobre los hombres; y el que dijere: Pequé, y pervertí lo recto, y no me ha aprovechado;
27He shall look upon men, and shall say: I have sinned, and indeed I have offended, and I have not received what I have deserved.
28Dios redimirá su alma, que no pase al sepulcro, y su vida se verá en luz.
28He hath delivered his soul from going into destruction, that it may live and see the light.
29He aquí, todas estas cosas hace Dios dos y tres veces con el hombre;
29Behold, all these things God worketh three times within every one.
30Para apartar su alma del sepulcro, y para iluminarlo con la luz de los vivientes.
30That he may withdraw their souls from corruption, and enlighten them with the light of the living.
31Escucha, Job, y óyeme; calla, y yo hablaré.
31Attend, Job, and hearken to me: and hold thy peace, whilst I speak.
32Que si tuvieres razones, respóndeme: habla, porque yo te quiero justificar.
32But if thou hast any thing to say, answer me, speak: for I would have thee to appear just.
33Y si no, óyeme tú á mí; calla, y enseñarte he sabiduría.
33And if thou have not, hear me: hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom.
