Job 35

New Jerusalem Bible	La Biblia
¹ Elihu continued his speech. He said:	¹ Elihú continuó de esta forma:
² Do you think you can prove yourself upright and establish your uprightness before God	² «¿Crees que es justo decir: \| “Llevo razón contra Dios”
³ by daring to say to him, 'What does it matter to you, or how does it benefit me, whether I have sinnedor not?'	³ o afirmar: “¿Qué más te da?, \| ¿qué saco con no pecar?”.
⁴ Very well, I shal tel you and your friends as wel .	⁴ Voy a refutar tus argumentos \| junto con los de tus amigos.
⁵ Take a look at the skies and see, observe how high the clouds are above you.	⁵ Contempla atento el cielo, \| observa las nubes tan altas.
⁶ If you sin, how can you affect him? If you heap up crimes, what effect has it on him?	⁶ ¿Qué mal le haces a Dios pecando?, \| ¿en qué le afectan tus muchos delitos?
⁷ If you are upright, what do you give him, what benefit does he receive at your hands?	⁷ Si eres justo, ¿qué le das?, \| ¿qué recibe de tu mano?
⁸ Your wickedness affects only your fel ows, your uprightness, other human beings.	⁸ Tu maldad afecta a mortales como tú; \| tu honradez, a los seres humanos.
⁹ They too groan under the weight of oppression, they cry for help under the tyranny of the mighty,	⁹ La gente protesta duramente oprimida, \| pide socorro ante el poder del tirano;
¹⁰ but none of them thinks of saying, 'Where is God, my Maker, who makes glad songs ring out at night,	¹⁰ pero no dice: “¿Dónde está mi Hacedor, \| que llena la noche de cantos de júbilo,
¹¹ who has made us more intel igent than wild animals wiser than birds in the sky?'	¹¹ que nos enseña por las bestias de la tierra \| y nos educa por las aves del cielo?”.
¹² Cry they may, but get no answer, to be spared from the arrogance of the wicked.	¹² Hay quien protesta, pero él no responde, \| por culpa del orgullo de los malvados.
¹³ Of course God does not listen to trivialities, Shaddai pays no attention to them.	¹³ Y así, Dios no escucha falsedades, \| el Todopoderoso no presta atención.
¹⁴ And how much less when you say, 'I cannot see him, my case is open and I am waiting for him.'	¹⁴ Mucho menos cuando dices: “No lo veo, \| le he expuesto mi causa y espero”.
¹⁵ Or, 'His anger never punishes, he does not seem aware of human rebel ion.'	¹⁵ Pero ahora que no estalla su cólera \| ni parece darse cuenta del delito,
¹⁶ Hence, when Job speaks, he talks nonsense, ignorantly babbling on and on.	¹⁶ Job abre su boca y echa viento, \| alargando un discurso sin sentido».
