| 1 Job spoke next. He said: | 1 Job respondió así: |
| 2 Listen careful y to my words; let this be the consolation you allow me. | 2 «Escuchad atentos mis palabras, | dadme siquiera ese consuelo. |
| 3 Permit me to speak in my turn; you may jeer when I have spoken. | 3 Sed pacientes mientras hablo, | después os podréis burlar. |
| 4 Is my complaint just about a fellow-mortal? I have good grounds to be perturbed! | 4 ¿Me quejo quizá de algún hombre | o pierdo la paciencia sin razón? |
| 5 Give your attention to me; you wil be dumbfounded and wil place your hand over your mouth. | 5 Escuchadme, quedaréis pasmados | y os llevaréis la mano a la boca. |
| 6 I myself am appalled at the very thought, and my flesh creeps. | 6 Lo pienso y me horrorizo, | y el pavor atenaza mi carne. |
| 7 Why do the wicked stil live on, their power increasing with their age? | 7 ¿Por qué siguen vivos los malvados, | que envejecen y aumenta su poder? |
| 8 They see their posterity assured, and their offspring secure before their eyes. | 8 Ven a sus hijos crecer seguros, | contemplan cómo medran sus retoños: |
| 9 The peace of their houses has nothing to fear, the rod that God wields is not for them. | 9 sus casas, en paz y sin temor, | la vara de Dios no los alcanza. |
| 10 No mishap with their bull at breeding-time, nor miscarriage with their cow at calving. | 10 Sus toros engendran sin fallar, | sus vacas nunca malparen. |
| 11 They let their infants frisk like lambs, their children dance like deer. | 11 Sus hijos trotan como corderos, | sus niños juegan satisfechos. |
| 12 They sing to the tambourine and harp, and rejoice to the sound of the pipe. | 12 Cantan con liras y tambores, | se alegran al son de la flauta; |
| 13 They end their lives in happiness and go down in peace to Sheol. | 13 disfrutan dichosos de la vida | y bajan en paz al Abismo. |
| 14 Yet these are the ones who say to God, 'Go away! We do not want to learn your ways. | 14 Y eso que decían a Dios: | “¡Déjanos en paz!, | no nos interesa para nada | conocer tus caminos. |
| 15 What is the point of our serving Shaddai? What should we gain from praying to him?' | 15 ¿Por qué hemos de servir al Todopoderoso?, | ¿qué sacamos con invocarlo?”. |
| 16 Surely they have won their own prosperity, since God is kept so far from their plans? | 16 ¿No depende del impío su dicha, | aunque su plan esté lejos de Dios? |
| 17 Do we often see the light of the wicked put out, or disaster overtake him, or the retribution of Goddestroy his possessions, | 17 ¿Cuándo se apaga la lámpara del malvado?, | ¿cuándo se abate sobre él la desgracia, | o la ira divina lo colma de dolor? |
| 18 or the wind blow him away like a straw, or a whirlwind carry him off like chaff? | 18 ¿Son paja perseguida por el viento | o tamo que arrastra el huracán? |
| 19 So God is storing up punishment for his children? But the wicked himself should be punished, andshould know it! | 19 ¿Va a castigar Dios a sus hijos? | ¡Que lo pague él y escarmiente! |
| 20 He himself should witness his own ruin, and himself drink the anger of Shaddai. | 20 ¡Que él mismo contemple su ruina, | que beba la cólera del Todopoderoso! |
| 21 Once he is gone, what joy can he gain from his family, once the number of his months has been cutoff? | 21 ¿Qué le importa su casa una vez muerto, | cuando cese la cuenta de sus meses? |
| 22 But who can teach wisdom to God, to him who is judge of those on high? | 22 ¿Quién puede dar lecciones a Dios, | cuando gobierna también el cielo? |
| 23 And again: one person dies in the ful ness of strength, in all possible happiness and ease, | 23 Hay quien muere en pleno vigor, | rebosante de dicha y de paz, |
| 24 thighs padded with fat and the marrow in the bones good and moist. | 24 con sus lomos cubiertos de grasa | y jugosa la médula de sus huesos. |
| 25 Another dies in bitterness of heart, never having tasted happiness. | 25 Y hay quien muere lleno de amargura, | sin haber probado cosa buena. |
| 26 They lie together down in the dust and the worms soon cover them both. | 26 Pero ambos se acuestan en el polvo, | bajo una cubierta de gusanos. |
| 27 Oh, I know what is in your minds, what you so spiteful y think about me! | 27 De sobra sé lo que pensáis, | todo lo que opináis sobre mi caso. |
| 28 'What has become of the great lord's house,' you say, 'where is the tent where the wicked used tolive?' | 28 Decís: “¿Dónde está la casa del prepotente, | la tienda que habitaban los impíos?”. |
| 29 Have you never questioned people who travel, do you not understand the testimony they give: | 29 ¿Por qué no lo preguntáis a los viajeros?, | entonces sabríais lo que piensan: |
| 30 on the day of disaster, the wicked is spared, on the day of retribution, he is kept safe? | 30 El malvado se libra el día del desastre, | se encuentra a salvo el día del castigo. |
| 31 And who is there then to reproach him for his deeds and to pay him back for the things he has done? | 31 ¿Quién le reprocha su conducta | o le hace pagar lo que ha hecho? |
| 32 He is carried away to the cemetery, and a watch is kept at his tomb. | 32 Muere y lo llevan al cementerio, | la gente vela junto a su tumba, |
| 33 The clods of the ravine lie easy on him, and the whole population walk behind. | 33 ni siquiera le pesa la tierra. | Tras él desfila todo el mundo, | por delante una turba innumerable. |
| 34 So what sense is there in your empty consolation? your answers are the left-overs of infidelity! | 34 Pues ¿a qué consolarme con vaciedades? | ¡Si tan solo respondéis con engaños!». |
