Job 30

Et maintenant j'excite les moqueries de gens plus jeunes que moi, dont les pères m'inspiraient trop de mépris pour les mettre avec les chiens de mon troupeau.

MAS ahora los más mozos de días que yo, se ríen de mí; cuyos padres yo desdeñara ponerlos con los perros de mi ganado.

But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.

“But now those who are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I considered unworthy to put with my sheep dogs.

Aussi bien, à quoi m'eût servi le concours de leurs mains? Pour eux il n'y a point de maturité.

Porque ¿para qué yo habría menester la fuerza de sus manos, en los cuales había perecido con el tiempo?

Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?

Of what use is the strength of their hands to me, men in whom ripe age has perished?

Epuisés par les privations et la faim, ils rôdent dans le désert, lugubre région de désolation et d'horreur,

Por causa de la pobreza y del hambre andaban solos; huían á la soledad, á lugar tenebroso, asolado y desierto.

For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.

They are gaunt from lack and famine. They gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of waste and desolation.

cueillant des plantes sauvages près des arbrisseaux, se nourrissant de la racine des genêts.

Que cogían malvas entre los arbustos, y raíces de enebro para calentarse.

Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.

They pluck salt herbs by the bushes. The roots of the broom tree are their food.

On les chasse du milieu des hommes et on les poursuit de cris comme des voleurs.

Eran echados de entre las gentes, y todos les daban grita como al ladrón.

They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;)

They are driven out from among men. They cry after them as after a thief,

Ils sont contraints d'habiter dans d'effrayants ravins, dans les excavations du sol et les crevasses des rochers.

Habitaban en las barrancas de los arroyos, en las cavernas de la tierra, y en las rocas.

To dwell in the clifts of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.

so that they live in frightful valleys, and in holes of the earth and of the rocks.

Ils grognent au milieu des buissons et s'entassent sous les broussailles;

Bramaban entre las matas, y se reunían debajo de las espinas.

Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.

They bray among the bushes. They are gathered together under the nettles.

troupe méprisable, gens sans aveu, ils se voient expulsés du pays!

Hijos de viles, y hombres sin nombre, más bajos que la misma tierra.

They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.

They are children of fools, yes, children of wicked men. They were flogged out of the land.

Et à présent, ils me chansonnent; je suis pour eux un thème à railleries.

Y ahora yo soy su canción, y he sido hecho su refrán.

And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.

“Now I have become their song. Yes, I am a byword to them.

Ils me témoignent leur dégoût, ils s'écartent de moi et ne se privent pas de me cracher à la figure.

Abomínanme, aléjanse de mí, y aun de mi rostro no detuvieron su saliva.

They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.

They abhor me, they stand aloof from me, and don’t hesitate to spit in my face.

C'est que Dieu a brisé les rênes que je tenais en mains, et il m'a humilié; ces gens ont secoué le frein que je leur imposais.

Porque Dios desató mi cuerda, y me afligió, por eso se desenfrenaron delante de mi rostro.

Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.

For he has untied his cord, and afflicted me; and they have thrown off restraint before me.

A ma droite se lève une jeunesse insolente, qui fait glisser mes pas et se fraie vers moi ses routes de malheur.

A la mano derecha se levantaron los jóvenes; empujaron mis pies, y sentaron contra mí las vías de su ruina.

Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction.

On my right hand rise the rabble. They thrust aside my feet. They cast their ways of destruction up against me.

Ils défoncent mon chemin, coopèrent à ma ruine, sans avoir besoin d'assistance.

Mi senda desbarataron, aprovecháronse de mi quebrantamiento, contra los cuales no hubo ayudador.

They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.

They mar my path. They promote my destruction without anyone’s help.

Ils montent à' l'assaut comme par une large brèche, ils se précipitent au milieu du fracas.

Vinieron como por portillo ancho, revolviéronse á mi calamidad.

They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me.

As through a wide breach they come. They roll themselves in amid the ruin.

Des terreurs me poursuivent, chassant comme le vent mon honneur; ma prospérité a passé comme un nuage.

Hanse revuelto turbaciones sobre mí; combatieron como viento mi alma, y mi salud pasó como nube.

Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.

Terrors have turned on me. They chase my honor as the wind. My welfare has passed away as a cloud.

Et maintenant mon âme se fond en moi, les jours de misère m'ont enserré.

Y ahora mi alma está derramada en mí; días de aflicción me han aprehendido.

And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.

“Now my soul is poured out within me. Days of affliction have taken hold of me.

La nuit ronge les os de mon corps, mes nerfs ne jouissent d'aucun repos.

De noche taladra sobre mí mis huesos, y mis pulsos no reposan.

My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest.

In the night season my bones are pierced in me, and the pains that gnaw me take no rest.

Par l'extrême violence du choc mon vêtement se déforme: elle m'étreint comme l'encolure d'une tunique.

Con la grande copia de materia mi vestidura está demudada; cíñeme como el cuello de mi túnica.

By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.

My garment is disfigured by great force. It binds me about as the collar of my tunic.

Dieu m'a plongé dans la fange, et j'ai l'air d'être poussière et cendre.

Derribóme en el lodo, y soy semejante al polvo y á la ceniza.

He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.

He has cast me into the mire. I have become like dust and ashes.

Je crie vers toi, et tu ne me réponds pas; je me tiens là, et tu me regardes fixement.

Clamo á ti, y no me oyes; preséntome, y no me atiendes.

I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not.

I cry to you, and you do not answer me. I stand up, and you gaze at me.

Tu es devenu inexorable pour moi, tu me combats avec toute la force de ta main.

Haste tornado cruel para mí: con la fortaleza de tu mano me amenazas.

Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.

You have turned to be cruel to me. With the might of your hand you persecute me.

Tu m'enlèves sur les ailes du vent, tu m'y fais chevaucher, et tu me fais fondre dans la tempête.

Levantásteme, é hicísteme cabalgar sobre el viento, y disolviste mi sustancia.

Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance.

You lift me up to the wind, and drive me with it. You dissolve me in the storm.

Car je sais bien que tu me mènes à la mort, au rendez-vous de tous les vivants.

Porque yo conozco que me reduces á la muerte; y á la casa determinada á todo viviente.

For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.

For I know that you will bring me to death, to the house appointed for all living.

Mais est-ce qu'on n'étend pas la main quand on s'effondre? Ne crie-t-on pas au secours lorsqu'on succombe au malheur?

Mas él no extenderá la mano contra el sepulcro; ¿clamarán los sepultados cuando él los quebrantare?

Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction.

“However doesn’t one stretch out a hand in his fall? Or in his calamity therefore cry for help?

Moi-même n'ai-je pas pleuré sur les victimes du sort? Mon cœur ne s'est-il point serré à la vue du malheureux?

¿No lloré yo al afligido? Y mi alma ¿no se entristeció sobre el menesteroso?

Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor?

Didn’t I weep for him who was in trouble? Wasn’t my soul grieved for the needy?

J'espérais le bien, et le mal a fondu sur moi; j'attendais la lumière, les ténèbres sont venues.

Cuando esperaba yo el bien, entonces vino el mal; y cuando esperaba luz, la oscuridad vino.

When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.

When I looked for good, then evil came. When I waited for light, darkness came.

Mes entrailles bouillonnent sans relâche, les jours de misère m'ont assailli.

Mis entrañas hierven, y no reposan; días de aflicción me han sobrecogido.

My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.

My heart is troubled, and doesn’t rest. Days of affliction have come on me.

Je marche tout noirci et non par le fait du soleil. Je me lève dans l'assemblée et pousse des cris.

Denegrido ando, y no por el sol: levantádome he en la congregación, y clamado.

I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation.

I go mourning without the sun. I stand up in the assembly, and cry for help.

Je suis devenu le frère des chacals, le compagnon des autruches.

He venido á ser hermano de los dragones, y compañero de los buhos.

I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.

I am a brother to jackals, and a companion to ostriches.

Ma peau, toute noircie, se détache de moi, et mes os sont brûlés par le feu de la fièvre.

Mi piel está denegrida sobre mí, y mis huesos se secaron con ardentía.

My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.

My skin grows black and peels from me. My bones are burned with heat.

Et ainsi ma harpe s'est changée en instrument de deuil, et ma flûte émet des sanglots.

Y hase tornado mi arpa en luto, y mi órgano en voz de lamentadores.

My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.

Therefore my harp has turned to mourning, and my pipe into the voice of those who weep.
