EL LIBRO DEL PUEBLO DE DIOSDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Job respondió diciendo:1 Then Job answered, and said:
2 También hoy, mi queja es un desafío, mientras gimo bajo el peso de su mano.2 Now also my words are in bitterness, and the hand of my scourge is more grievous than my mourning.
3 ¡Ah, si supiera cómo encontrarlo, si pudiera llegar hasta su tribunal!3 Who will grant me that I might know and find him, and come even to his throne?
4 Yo expondría mi causa ante él y llenaría mi boca de recriminaciones.4 I would set judgment before him, and would fill my mouth with complaints.
5 Sabría entonces cuál sería su respuesta, y estaría atento a lo que él me dijera.5 That I might know the words that he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.
6 ¿Le haría falta mucha fuerza para disputar conmigo? No, sólo bastaría que me prestara atención.6 I would not that he should contend with me with much strength, nor overwhelm me with the weight of his greatness.
7 Allí, un hombre recto discutiría con él, y yo haría triunfar mi derecho para siempre.7 Let him propose equity against me, and let my judgment come to victory.
8 Pero voy hacia adelante, y él no está, hacia atrás, y no lo percibo:8 But if I go to the east, he appeareth not; if to the west, I shall not understand him.
9 lo busco a la izquierda, y no lo diviso, vuelvo a la derecha, y no los veo.9 If to the left hand, what shall I do? I shall not take hold on him: if I turn myself to the right hand, I shall not see him.
10 Sin embargo, él sabe en qué camino estoy: si me prueba en mi crisol, saldré puro como el oro.10 But he knoweth my way, and has tried me as gold that passeth through the fire:
11 Mis pies han seguido sus pasos, me mantuve en su camino y no me desvié.11 My foot hath followed his steps, I have kept his way, and have not declined from it.
12 No me aparté del mandamiento de sus labios, guardé en mi pecho las palabras de su boca.12 I have not departed from the commandments of his lips, and the words of his mouth I have hid in my bosom.
13 Pero él ya decidió: ¿quién lo hará volver atrás? Lo que él desea, lo hace.13 For he is alone, and no man can turn away his thought: and whatsoever is soul hath desired, that hath he done.
14 El va a ejecutar mi sentencia, y hay en él muchos designios semejantes.14 And when he shall have fulfilled his will in me, many other like things are also at hand with him.
15 Por eso, le tengo temor, reflexiono, y tiemblo ante él.15 And therefore I am troubled at his presence, and when I consider him I am made pensive with fear.
16 Dios me ha quitado el ánimo, el Todopoderoso me ha llenado de espanto:16 God hath softened my heart, and the Almighty hath troubled me.
17 porque no son las tinieblas las que me aniquilan ni tampoco la oscuridad que cubre mi rostro.17 For I have not perished because of the darkness that hangs over me, neither hath the mist covered my face.
