1Y RESPONDIÓ Job, y dijo:
1Then Job answered:
2Ciertamente yo conozco que es así: ¿y cómo se justificará el hombre con Dios?
2“Yes, I know that it is so, but how can a mortal be righteous before God?
3Si quisiere contender con él, no le podrá responder á una cosa de mil.
3If one wished to contend with God, he could not answer Him one time out of a thousand.
4El es sabio de corazón, y poderoso en fortaleza: ¿quién se endureció contra él, y quedó en paz?
4God is wise in heart and mighty in strength. Who has resisted Him and prospered?
5Que arranca los montes con su furor, y no conocen quién los trastornó:
5He moves mountains without their knowledge and overturns them in His anger.
6Que remueve la tierra de su lugar, y hace temblar sus columnas:
6He shakes the earth from its place, so that its foundations tremble.
7Que manda al sol, y no sale; y sella las estrellas:
7He commands the sun not to shine; He seals off the stars.
8El que extiende solo los cielos, y anda sobre las alturas de la mar:
8He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea.
9El que hizo el Arcturo, y el Orión, y las Pléyadas, y los lugares secretos del mediodía:
9He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, of the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.
10El que hace cosas grandes é incomprensibles, y maravillosas, sin número.
10He does great things beyond searching out, and wonders without number.
11He aquí que él pasará delante de mí, y yo no lo veré; y pasará, y no lo entenderé.
11Were He to pass by me, I would not see Him; were He to move, I would not recognize Him.
12He aquí, arrebatará; ¿quién le hará restituir? ¿Quién le dirá, Qué haces?
12If He takes away, who can stop Him? Who dares to ask Him, ‘What are You doing?’
13Dios no tornará atrás su ira, y debajo de él se encorvan los que ayudan á los soberbios.
13God does not restrain His anger; the helpers of Rahab cower beneath Him.
14¿Cuánto menos le responderé yo, y hablaré con él palabras estudiadas?
14How then can I answer Him or choose my arguments against Him?
15Que aunque fuese yo justo, no responderé; antes habré de rogar á mi juez.
15For even if I were right, I could not answer. I could only beg my Judge for mercy.
16Que si yo le invocase, y él me respondiese, aun no creeré que haya escuchado mi voz.
16If I summoned Him and He answered me, I do not believe He would listen to my voice.
17Porque me ha quebrado con tempestad, y ha aumentado mis heridas sin causa.
17For He would crush me with a tempest and multiply my wounds without cause.
18No me ha concedido que tome mi aliento; mas hame hartado de amarguras.
18He does not let me catch my breath, but overwhelms me with bitterness.
19Si habláremos de su potencia, fuerte por cierto es; si de juicio, ¿quién me emplazará?
19If it is a matter of strength, He is indeed mighty! If it is a matter of justice, who can summon Him ?
20Si yo me justificare, me condenará mi boca; si me dijere perfecto, esto me hará inicuo.
20Even if I were righteous, my mouth would condemn me; if I were blameless, it would declare me guilty.
21Bien que yo fuese íntegro, no conozco mi alma: reprocharé mi vida.
21Though I am blameless, I have no concern for myself; I despise my own life.
22Una cosa resta que yo diga: Al perfecto y al impío él los consume.
22It is all the same, and so I say, ‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’
23Si azote mata de presto, ríese de la prueba de los inocentes.
23When the scourge brings sudden death, He mocks the despair of the innocent.
24La tierra es entregada en manos de los impíos, y él cubre el rostro de sus jueces. Si no es él , ¿quién es ? ¿dónde está?
24The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He blindfolds its judges. If it is not He, then who is it?
25Mis días han sido más ligeros que un correo; huyeron, y no vieron el bien.
25My days are swifter than a runner; they flee without seeing good.
26Pasaron cual navíos veloces: como el águila que se arroja á la comida.
26They sweep by like boats of papyrus, like an eagle swooping down on its prey.
27Si digo: Olvidaré mi queja, dejaré mi aburrimiento, y esforzaréme:
27If I were to say, ‘I will forget my complaint and change my expression and smile,’
28Contúrbanme todos mis trabajos; sé que no me darás por libre.
28I would still dread all my sufferings; I know that You will not acquit me.
29Yo soy impío, ¿para qué trabajaré en vano?
29Since I am already found guilty, why should I labor in vain?
30Aunque me lave con aguas de nieve, y limpie mis manos con la misma limpieza,
30If I should wash myself with snow and cleanse my hands with lye,
31Aun me hundirás en el hoyo, y mis propios vestidos me abominarán.
31then You would plunge me into the pit, and even my own clothes would despise me.
32Porque no es hombre como yo, para que yo le responda, y vengamos juntamente á juicio.
32For He is not a man like me, that I can answer Him, that we can take each other to court.
33No hay entre nosotros árbitro que ponga su mano sobre nosotros ambos.
33Nor is there a mediator between us, to lay his hand upon us both.
34Quite de sobre mí su vara, y su terror no me espante.
34Let Him remove His rod from me, so that His terror will no longer frighten me.
35Entonces hablaré, y no le temeré: porque así no estoy en mí mismo.
35Then I would speak without fear of Him. But as it is, I am on my own.
