Job 31

Eu fiz um pacto com meus olhos; como, pois, eu olharia com cobiça para a virgem?

HICE pacto con mis ojos: ¿cómo pues había yo de pensar en virgen?

I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?

“I made a covenant with my eyes; how then should I look lustfully at a young woman?

Pois qual é a porção dada por Deus acima, e a herança dada pelo Todo-Poderoso das alturas?

Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?

Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, and disaster to the workers of iniquity?

Por acaso ele não vê meus caminhos, e conta todos os meus passos?

“If I have walked with falsehood, and my foot has hurried to deceit

Pese-me ele em balanças justas, e Deus saberá minha integridade.

Péseme Dios en balanzas de justicia, y conocerá mi integridad.

Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know mine integrity.

Se meus passos se desviaram do caminho, e meu coração seguiu meus olhos, e se algo se apegou às minhas mãos,

Si mis pasos se apartaron del camino, y si mi corazón se fué tras mis ojos, y si algo se apegó á mis manos,

If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands;

if my step has turned out of the way, if my heart walked after my eyes, if any defilement has stuck to my hands,

Que eu semeie, e outro coma; e meus produtos sejam arrancados.

Siembre yo, y otro coma, y mis verduras sean arrancadas.

Se foi meu coração se deixou seduzir por alguma mulher, ou se estive espreitei à porta de meu próximo,

Si fué mi corazón engañado acerca de mujer, y si estuve acechando á la puerta de mi prójimo:

If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour’s door;

“If my heart has been enticed to a woman, and I have laid wait at my neighbor’s door,

Que minha mulher moa para outro, e outros se encurvem sobre ela.

Muela para otro mi mujer, y sobre ella otros se encorven.

Porque es fuego que devoraría hasta el sepulcro, y desarraigaría toda mi hacienda.

For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.

for it is a fire that consumes to destruction, and would root out all my increase.

Se desprezei o direito de meu servo ou de minha serva quando eles reclamaram comigo,

Si hubiera tenido en poco el derecho de mi siervo y de mi sierva, cuando ellos pleitearan conmigo,
