| 1 For thine incorruptible Spirit is in all things. | 1 Pues tu soplo incorruptible está en todas ellas. |
| 2 Therefore chastenest thou them by little and little that offend, and warnest them by putting them in remembrance wherein they have offended, that leaving their wickedness they may believe on thee, O Lord. | 2 Por eso corriges poco a poco a los que caen, | los reprendes y les recuerdas su pecado, | para que, apartándose del mal, crean en ti, Señor. |
| 3 For it was thy will to destroy by the hands of our fathers both those old inhabitants of thy holy land, | 3 A los antiguos habitantes de tu santa tierra, |
| 4 Whom thou hatedst for doing most odious works of witchcrafts, and wicked sacrifices; | 4 los aborreciste por sus prácticas abominables, | actos de magia y ritos sacrílegos. |
| 5 And also those merciless murderers of children, and devourers of man's flesh, and the feasts of blood, | 5 A esos crueles asesinos de niños, | devoradores de entrañas en banquetes de carne y sangre humanas, | a esos iniciados en bacanales, |
| 6 With their priests out of the midst of their idolatrous crew, and the parents, that killed with their own hands souls destitute of help: | 6 padres asesinos de seres indefensos, | decidiste eliminarlos por medio de nuestros antepasados, |
| 7 That the land, which thou esteemedst above all other, might receive a worthy colony of God's children. | 7 para que la tierra que tú más apreciabas | acogiera a la digna colonia de los hijos de Dios. |
| 8 Nevertheless even those thou sparedst as men, and didst send wasps, forerunners of thine host, to destroy them by little and little. | 8 Pero también con estos, como hombres que eran, fuiste indulgente | y les enviaste avispas como avanzadilla de tu ejército, | para exterminarlos poco a poco. |
| 9 Not that thou wast unable to bring the ungodly under the hand of the righteous in battle, or to destroy them at once with cruel beasts, or with one rough word: | 9 Aunque pudiste entregar a los impíos en manos de los justos en batalla campal, | o aniquilarlos de una vez con bestias feroces o con una orden fulminante, |
| 10 But executing thy judgments upon them by little and little, thou gavest them place of repentance, not being ignorant that they were a naughty generation, and that their malice was bred in them, and that their cogitation would never be changed. | 10 los castigaste paulatinamente, dándoles ocasión de arrepentirse, | aunque sabías que eran de mala cepa, de malicia innata, | y que su modo de pensar no cambiaría nunca, |
| 11 For it was a cursed seed from the beginning; neither didst thou for fear of any man give them pardon for those things wherein they sinned. | 11 pues era una raza maldita desde su origen; | si les indultaste los pecados, no fue por miedo a nadie. |
| 12 For who shall say, What hast thou done? or who shall withstand thy judgment? or who shall accuse thee for the nations that perish, whom thou made? or who shall come to stand against thee, to be revenged for the unrighteous men? | 12 Pues, ¿quién puede decirte: «¿Qué has hecho?», | o ¿quién se opondrá a tu sentencia?, | ¿quién te citará a juicio por haber destruido las naciones que tú has creado?, | o ¿quién se alzará contra ti para vengar a los injustos? |
| 13 For neither is there any God but thou that careth for all, to whom thou mightest shew that thy judgment is not unright. | 13 Pues fuera de ti no hay otro Dios que cuide de todo, | a quien tengas que demostrar que no juzgas injustamente; |
| 14 Neither shall king or tyrant be able to set his face against thee for any whom thou hast punished. | 14 ni rey ni soberano que pueda desafiarte defendiendo a los que tú has castigado. |
| 15 Forsomuch then as thou art righteous thyself, thou orderest all things righteously: thinking it not agreeable with thy power to condemn him that hath not deserved to be punished. | 15 Siendo justo, todo lo gobiernas con justicia | y consideras incompatible con tu poder | condenar a quien no merece ser castigado. |
| 16 For thy power is the beginning of righteousness, and because thou art the Lord of all, it maketh thee to be gracious unto all. | 16 Porque tu fuerza es el principio de la justicia | y tu señorío sobre todo te hace ser indulgente con todos. |
| 17 For when men will not believe that thou art of a full power, thou shewest thy strength, and among them that know it thou makest their boldness manifest. | 17 Despliegas tu fuerza ante el que no cree en tu poder perfecto | y confundes la osadía de los que lo conocen. |
| 18 But thou, mastering thy power, judgest with equity, and orderest us with great favour: for thou mayest use power when thou wilt. | 18 Pero tú, dueño del poder, juzgas con moderación | y nos gobiernas con mucha indulgencia, | porque haces uso de tu poder cuando quieres. |
| 19 But by such works hast thou taught thy people that the just man should be merciful, and hast made thy children to be of a good hope that thou givest repentance for sins. | 19 Actuando así, enseñaste a tu pueblo | que el justo debe ser humano | y diste a tus hijos una buena esperanza, | pues concedes el arrepentimiento a los pecadores. |
| 20 For if thou didst punish the enemies of thy children, and the condemned to death, with such deliberation, giving them time and place, whereby they might be delivered from their malice: | 20 Pues, si a los enemigos de tus hijos, reos de muerte, | los castigaste con tanta benevolencia e indulgencia, | dándoles tiempo y lugar para apartarse de su maldad, |
| 21 With how great circumspection didst thou judge thine own sons, unto whose fathers thou hast sworn, and made covenants of good promises? | 21 ¿con cuánta consideración no habrás juzgado a tus hijos, | con cuyos padres pactaste jurando alianzas de tan buenas promesas? |
| 22 Therefore, whereas thou dost chasten us, thou scourgest our enemies a thousand times more, to the intent that, when we judge, we should carefully think of thy goodness, and when we ourselves are judged, we should look for mercy. | 22 Así, pues, para aleccionarnos a nosotros, | castigas a nuestros enemigos con moderación, | para que al juzgar recordemos tu bondad, | y al ser juzgados esperemos misericordia. |
| 23 Wherefore, whereas men have lived dissolutely and unrighteously, thou hast tormented them with their own abominations. | 23 Por eso, a cuantos vivieron insensata y depravadamente, | los atormentaste con sus propias abominaciones. |
| 24 For they went astray very far in the ways of error, and held them for gods, which even among the beasts of their enemies were despised, being deceived, as children of no understanding. | 24 Se extraviaron muy lejos, | teniendo por dioses a los animales más viles y repugnantes, | dejándose engañar como niños inconscientes. |
| 25 Therefore unto them, as to children without the use of reason, thou didst send a judgment to mock them. | 25 Por eso, como a niños sin juicio, | les enviaste un castigo que hacía reír. |
| 26 But they that would not be reformed by that correction, wherein he dallied with them, shall feel a judgment worthy of God. | 26 Pero los que no escarmentaron con correcciones irrisorias, | iban a experimentar un castigo digno de Dios. |
| 27 For, look, for what things they grudged, when they were punished, that is, for them whom they thought to be gods; [now] being punished in them, when they saw it, they acknowledged him to be the true God, whom before they denied to know: and therefore came extreme damnation upon them. | 27 Al verse atormentados e irritados por aquellos seres | que tenían por dioses y ahora eran su castigo, | abrieron los ojos y reconocieron como Dios verdadero, | al que antes se negaban a reconocer; | y por eso les sobrevino el peor de los castigos. |
