| 1 Then Elihu continued and said: | 1 Elihú continuó de esta forma: |
| 2 Hear, O wise men, my discourse, and you that have knowledge, hear me! | 2 «¡Escuchad, sabios, mis palabras; | prestadme atención los doctos!, |
| 3 For the ear tests words, as the taste does food. | 3 pues el oído distingue las palabras | igual que el paladar los sabores. |
| 4 Let us discern for ourselves what is right; let us learn between us what is good. | 4 Decidamos, pues, lo que es justo; | dilucidemos nosotros lo que es bueno. |
| 5 For Job has said, "I am innocent, but God has taken what is my due. | 5 Job dijo: “Soy inocente, | pero Dios me niega justicia. |
| 6 Notwithstanding my right I am set at nought; in my wound the arrow rankles, sinless though I am." | 6 ¿Voy a mentir sobre mi caso? | Me hieren de muerte sin culpa”. |
| 7 What man is like Job? He drinks in blasphemies like water, | 7 ¿Hay algún hombre como Job, | que bebe sarcasmos como agua? |
| 8 Keeps company with evildoers and goes along with wicked men, | 8 Se hace acompañar de malhechores, | busca la sociedad de los malvados, |
| 9 When he says, "It profits a man nought that he is pleasing to God." | 9 y dice: “Nada se gana | buscando el favor de Dios”. |
| 10 Therefore, men of understanding, hearken to me: far be it from God to do wickedness; far from the Almighty to do wrong! | 10 Escuchadme, gente sensata: | ¡Lejos de Dios la maldad, | lejos del Todopoderoso la injusticia! |
| 11 Rather, he requites men for their conduct, and brings home to a man his way of life. | 11 Paga a los humanos según sus obras, | retribuye a los mortales según su conducta. |
| 12 Surely, God cannot act wickedly, the Almighty cannot violate justice. | 12 Está claro que Dios no actúa con maldad, | que el Todopoderoso no pervierte la justicia. |
| 13 Who gave him government over the earth, or who else set all the land in its place? | 13 ¿Quién le encargó del cuidado de la tierra?, | ¿quién le confió custodiar el universo? |
| 14 If he were to take back his spirit to himself, withdraw to himself his breath, | 14 Si decidiera por cuenta propia | retirar su espíritu y su aliento, |
| 15 All flesh would perish together, and man would return to the dust. | 15 dejarían de respirar los vivientes, | volverían los humanos al polvo. |
| 16 Now, do you, O Job, hear this! Hearken to the words I speak! | 16 Si tienes conocimiento, escucha; | presta atención a mis palabras. |
| 17 Can an enemy of justice indeed be in control, or will you condemn the supreme Just One, | 17 ¿Podría gobernar quien odia el derecho? | ¿Condenarías al que es Justo y Poderoso, |
| 18 Who says to a king, "You are worthless!" and to nobles, "You are wicked!" | 18 capaz de llamar a un rey “canalla”, | de tratar como bandidos a los nobles, |
| 19 Who neither favors the person of princes, nor respects the rich more than the poor? For they are all the work of his hands; | 19 que no tiene preferencias por los príncipes, | ni favorece al rico contra el pobre, | porque todos son obra de sus manos? |
| 20 in a moment they die, even at midnight. He brings on nobles, and takes them away, removing the powerful without lifting a hand; | 20 Todos mueren de pronto, a medianoche; | los gobernantes se agitan y se esfuman, | cae el tirano, mas no por mano de hombre. |
| 21 For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he beholds all his steps. | 21 Dios vigila el camino del hombre, | sigue atento todos sus pasos; |
| 22 There is no darkness so dense that evildoers can hide in it. | 22 no hay sombra ni espesa tiniebla | donde pueda esconderse el malvado. |
| 23 For he forewarns no man of his time to come before God in judgment. | 23 El hombre no decide el momento | de comparecer a juicio con Dios. |
| 24 Without a trial he breaks the mighty, and sets others in their stead, | 24 Destruye a los poderosos sin indagar | y nombra a otros en su lugar; |
| 25 Therefore he discerns their works; he turns at night and crushes them. | 25 como conoce bien sus acciones, | los trastorna de noche y los destruye; |
| 26 les paga su maldad azotándolos | en un lugar donde la gente los vea, | |
| 27 Because they turned away from him and heeded none of his ways, | 27 por haberle sido desleales, | por ignorar su modo de actuar, |
| 28 But caused the cries of the poor to reach him, so that he heard the plea of the afflicted. | 28 provocando ante Dios el grito del pobre, | haciéndole oír el grito del necesitado. |
| 29 If he remains tranquil, who then can condemn? If he hides his face, who then can behold him? | 29 Si guarda silencio, ¿quién lo condenará? | Si oculta su rostro, ¿quién podrá verlo? | Él vigila a hombres y países, |
| 30 para evitar que reine un impío | que tenga al pueblo sometido. | |
| 31 When anyone says to God, "I was misguided; I will offend no more. | 31 Si alguien dice a Dios: | “Estoy equivocado; no lo haré más. |
| 32 Teach me wherein I have sinned; if I have done wrong, I will do so no more," | 32 Enséñame lo que no puedo ver. | No reincidiré si he hecho algo malo”, |
| 33 Would you then say that God must punish, since you reject what he is doing? It is you who must choose, not I; speak, therefore, what you know. | 33 ¿debería castigar Dios, en tu opinión, | cuando tú rechazas su criterio? | Tú debes decidir, no yo; | demuestra todo lo que sabes. |
| 34 Men of understanding will say to me, every wise man who hears my views: | 34 Si la gente sensata me escuchara, | si los sabios me oyesen, dirían: |
| 35 "Job speaks without intelligence, and his words are without sense." | 35 “Job argumenta sin saber; | sus palabras no tienen sentido. |
| 36 Let Job be tried to the limit, since his answers are those of the impious; | 36 Debería ser probado hasta el límite, | pues responde igual que los malvados; |
| 37 For he is adding rebellion to his sin by brushing off our arguments and addressing many words to God. | 37 se empecina en seguir pecando, | vive tranquilo entre nosotros, | multiplica sus palabras contra Dios”». |
