< Job 23 >
And he answered Job and he said.
2 Cierto que hoy es amarga mi queja; pero más grande que ella es mi carga.
Also this day [the] rebellion of complaint my hand my it is heavy on groaning my.
3 ¡Oh, quién me diera a conocer dónde hallarle a Él! Me llegaría hasta su trono,
Who? will he give I knew and I will find him I will come to place his.
4 expondría delante de Él mi causa, y llenaría mi boca de argumentos.
Let me set in order before him a case and mouth my let me fill arguments.
5 Quisiera saber las palabras que Él me respondería, y entender sus razones.
I want to know [the] words [which] he will answer me and I want to understand what? will he say to me.
6 ¿Acaso me opondría Él su gran poder? ¡No! Seguro que me atendería.
¿ With greatness of power will he conduct a case with me not surely he he will put on me.
7 Entonces el justo disputaría con Él; para siempre quedaría yo absuelto por el que me juzga.
There an upright [person] [will be] reasoning with him and I will deliver to perpetuity from judge my.
8 Pero si voy al oriente, no está allí, si hacia el occidente, no le diviso,
Here! forward I go and there not [is] he and backwards and not I perceive him.
9 si me vuelvo al norte, no le descubro, si hacia el mediodía, tampoco le veo.
[the] left [side] When acts he and not I see [him] he turns [the] right [side] and not I see [him].
10 Él, empero, conoce el camino que sigo. Que me pruebe; yo saldré como el oro.
That he knows [the] way with me he has tested me like gold I will come forth.
11 Mi pie siguió siempre sus pasos, guardé siempre su camino sin desviarme en nada.
On step his it has taken hold foot my way his I have kept and not I have turned aside.
12 No me he apartado del mandamiento de sus labios, más que mis necesidades personales he atendido las palabras de su boca.
[the] commandment of Lips his and not I have ceased more than portion my I have treasured up [the] words of mouth his.
13 Pero Él no cambia de opinión; ¿quién podrá disuadirle? Lo que le place, eso lo hace,
And he [is] one and who? will he turn back him and [that which] self his it has desired and he has done.
14 ÉL cumplirá lo decretado sobre mí; y aún tiene planeadas muchas cosas semejantes.
For he performs decree my and like them many [are] with him.
15 Por eso estoy turbado ante Él; cuando pienso en ello, me sobreviene temor.
There-fore of him I am terrified I consider and I may be in dread from him.
16 Dios ha aterrado mi corazón, el Omnipotente me ha conturbado.
And God he has made faint heart my and [the] Almighty he has terrified me.
17 Porque lo que me consume no es la tiniebla, ni la oscuridad que me cubre el rostro.”
For not I have been destroyed from before darkness and from before me it covers gloom.
