Job 27
1 And Job further continued and said in his parable,
Job retomó su parábola y dijo
2 [As] God lives, who has thus judge me; and the Almighty, who has embittered my soul;
“Vive Dios, que me ha quitado el derecho, el Todopoderoso, que ha amargado mi alma
3 verily, while my breath is yet in [me], and the breath of God which remains to me is in my nostrils,
(por la duración de mi vida aún está en mí, y el espíritu de Dios está en mis narices);
4 my lips shall not speak evil words, neither shall my soul meditate unrighteous thoughts.
ciertamente mis labios no hablarán injusticia, ni mi lengua proferirá engaños.
5 Far be it from me that I should justify you till I die; for I will not let go my innocence,
Lejos de mí el justificaros. Hasta que no muera no apartaré mi integridad de mí.
6 but keeping fast to [my] righteousness I will by no means let it go: for I am not conscious to myself of having done any thing amiss.
Me aferro a mi justicia y no la abandono. Mi corazón no me reprochará mientras viva.
7 Nay rather, but let mine enemies be as the overthrow of the ungodly, and they that rise up against me, as the destruction of transgressors.
“Que mi enemigo sea como el malvado. Que el que se levante contra mí sea como los injustos.
8 For what is the hope of the ungodly, that he holds to it? will he indeed trust in the Lord [and] be saved?
Porque ¿cuál es la esperanza del impío, cuando es cortado? cuando Dios le quita la vida?
9 Will God hear his prayer? or, when distress has come upon him,
¿Oirá Dios su clamor cuando le sobrevengan problemas?
10 has he any confidence before him? or will [God] hear him as he calls upon him?
Se deleitará en el Todopoderoso, e invocar a Dios en todo momento?
11 Yet now I will tell you what is in the hand of the Lord: I will not lie concerning the things which are with the Almighty.
Te enseñaré sobre la mano de Dios. No ocultaré lo que está con el Todopoderoso.
12 Behold, you all know that you are adding vanity to vanity.
Mirad, todos vosotros lo habéis visto; ¿por qué entonces te has vuelto totalmente vanidoso?
13 This is the portion of an ungodly man from the Lord, and the possession of oppressors shall come upon them from the Almighty.
“Esta es la porción de un hombre malvado con Dios, la herencia de los opresores, que reciben del Todopoderoso.
14 And if their children be many, they shall be for slaughter: and if they grow up, they shall beg.
Si sus hijos se multiplican, es por la espada. Su descendencia no se conformará con el pan.
15 And they that survive of him shall utterly perish, and no one shall pity their widows.
Los que queden de él serán enterrados en la muerte. Sus viudas no se lamentarán.
16 Even if he should gather silver as earth, and prepare gold as clay;
Aunque amontone plata como el polvo, y preparar la ropa como la arcilla;
17 All these things shall the righteous gain, and the true-hearted shall possess his wealth.
puede prepararlo, pero el justo se lo pondrá, y los inocentes se repartirán la plata.
18 And his house is gone like moths, and like a spider's web.
Construye su casa como la polilla, como una caseta que hace el vigilante.
19 The rich man shall lie down, and shall not continue: he has opened his eyes, and he is not.
Se acuesta rico, pero no volverá a hacerlo. Abre los ojos y no está.
20 Pains have come upon him as water, and darkness has carried him away by night.
Los terrores lo alcanzan como las aguas. Una tormenta se lo lleva en la noche.
21 And a burning wind shall catch him, and he shall depart, and it shall utterly drive him out of his place.
El viento del este lo arrastra y se va. Lo barre de su lugar.
22 And [God] shall cast [trouble] upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
Porque se lanza contra él y no perdona, mientras huye de su mano.
23 He shall cause [men] to clap their hands against them, and shall hiss him out of his place.
Los hombresle aplaudirán, y lo sacará de su lugar con un silbido.
