Job 27
1Job prosiguió su exposición, diciendo: Job also added to this, using figures of speech, and he said:2“Por la vida de Dios, quien no me hace justicia, y por la vida del Todopoderoso, que ha colmado de amargura mi alma. As God lives, who has taken away my judgment, and the Almighty, who has led my soul to bitterness,3Mientras en mí quede mi espíritu, y el soplo de Dios en mis narices, as long as my breath remains in me and the breath of God remains in my nostrils,4mis labios no hablarán falsedad, ni mi lengua proferirá mentira. my lips will not speak iniquity, nor will my tongue devise lies.5Lejos de mí daros la razón, hasta que fallezca defenderé mi inocencia. Far be it from me that I should judge you to be right, for, until I expire, I will not withdraw from my innocence.6Sostengo mi justicia, y no cederé; mi conciencia no condena a ninguno de mis días. I will not forsake my justification, which I have just begun to grasp, for my heart does not find blame for me in my whole life.7Sea tratado como malvado mi enemigo, y mi adversario, como perverso. Let the impious be as my enemy, and the sinful, as my adversary.8Pues ¿cuál es la esperanza del hipócrita, cuando Dios le corta la vida, y le arranca el alma? For what hope is there for the hypocrite, if he greedily plunders and God does not free his soul?9¿Acaso Dios oirá sus gritos cuando le sobrevenga la angustia? Will God pay attention to his cry, when anguish overcomes him?10¿Podrá deleitarse en el Omnipotente, invocar a Dios en todo tiempo? Or will he take delight in the Almighty and call upon God at all times?11Os mostraré la conducta de Dios; no ocultaré los planes del Todopoderoso. I will teach you through the hand of God, what the Almighty holds, and I will not conceal it.12Si todos vosotros lo habéis visto, ¿por qué os agotáis en vanos discursos? Behold, you know all this, and so why do you speak vain things without a reason?13Esta es la suerte que Dios reserva al malvado, y la herencia de los violentos de parte del Todopoderoso: This is the portion of the impious man with God, and the inheritance of the violent, which they will receive from the Almighty.14Si tiene muchos hijos, es para la espada, y sus nietos nunca se hartan de pan. If his sons should happen to increase, they will be for the sword, and his grandsons will not be satisfied with bread.15Sus sobrevivientes serán sepultados por la muerte, y sus viudas no los llorarán. Whatever will remain of him will be buried in the ruins, and his widows will not weep.16Aunque amontone plata como tierra, y como lodo acumule vestidos, If he will amass silver as if it were dirt and fabricate garments as if they were clay,17el los prepara, pero se vestirá de ellos el justo, y el inocente poseerá su plata. then yes, he will gather, but the just will be clothed with it and the innocent will divide the silver.18La casa que él hace es como la de la polilla, como la cabaña que construye el guarda campo. He has built his house like a moth, and he has made a makeshift shelter like a sentry.19Se acuesta rico, y no se levanta más, abre sus ojos y deja de existir. When he falls asleep, the rich man will leave him with nothing; he will open his eyes and find nothing.20Cual diluvio caen sobre él terrores, le arrastra un torbellino nocturno. Destitution will surround him like water; a storm will overwhelm him in the night.21Le arrebata el solano, y se va; le arranca de su lugar a manera de un huracán. A burning wind will pick him up and carry him away, and, like a whirlwind, it will rush him from his place.22Pues Él se le echa encima sin piedad. Busca cómo escaparse de sus manos; And it will hurl over him and will not spare him; fleeing from its power, he will go into exile.23pero se baten las manos sobre él, y le silbarán echándolo de su propio lugar.” He will clasp his hands over himself, and he will hiss at himself, while considering his situation.
