Job 35

And Elihu answereth and saith: —

Y PROCEDIENDO Eliú en su razonamiento, dijo:

Elihu spake moreover, and said,

Moreover Elihu answered,

This hast thou reckoned for judgment: Thou hast said — 'My righteousness †is more than God's?'

¿Piensas ser conforme á derecho esto que dijiste: Más justo soy yo que Dios?

Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God’s?

“Do you think this to be your right, or do you say, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s,’

For thou sayest, 'What doth it profit Thee! What do I profit from my sin?'

Porque dijiste: ¿Qué ventaja sacarás tú de ello? ¿ó qué provecho tendré de mi pecado?

For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?

that you ask, ‘What advantage will it be to you? What profit will I have, more than if I had sinned?’

I return thee words, and thy friends with thee,

Yo te responderé razones, y á tus compañeros contigo.

I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.

I will answer you, and your companions with you.

Behold attentively the heavens — and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than thou.

Mira á los cielos, y ve, y considera que las nubes son más altas que tú.

Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.

Look to the skies, and see. See the skies, which are higher than you.

If thou hast sinned, what dost thou against Him? And thy transgressions have been multiplied, What dost thou to Him?

Si pecares, ¿qué habrás hecho contra él? y si tus rebeliones se multiplicaren, ¿qué le harás tú?

If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?

If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him? If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?

If thou hast been righteous, What dost thou give to Him? Or what from thy hand doth He receive?

Si fueres justo, ¿qué le darás á él? ¿ó qué recibirá de tu mano?

If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?

If you are righteous, what do you give him? Or what does he receive from your hand?

For a man like thyself †is thy wickedness, And for a son of man thy righteousness.

Al hombre como tú dañará tu impiedad, y al hijo del hombre aprovechará tu justicia.

Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.

Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are, and your righteousness may profit a son of man.

Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because of the arm of the mighty.

A causa de la multitud de las violencias clamarán, y se lamentarán por el poderío de los grandes.

By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.

“By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out. They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.

And none said, 'Where †is God my maker? Giving songs in the night,

Y ninguno dice: ¿Dónde está Dios mi Hacedor, que da canciones en la noche,

But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;

But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,

Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Yea, than the fowl of the heavens He maketh us wiser.'

Que nos enseña más que á las bestias de la tierra, y nos hace sabios más que las aves del cielo?

Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?

who teaches us more than the animals of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?’

There they cry, and He doth not answer, Because of the pride of evil doers.

Allí clamarán, y él no oirá, por la soberbia de los malos.

There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.

There they cry, but no one answers, because of the pride of evil men.

Surely vanity God doth not hear, And the Mighty doth not behold it.

Ciertamente Dios no oirá la vanidad, ni la mirará el Omnipotente.

Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

Surely God will not hear an empty cry, neither will the Almighty regard it.

Yea, though thou sayest thou dost not behold Him, Judgment †is before Him, and stay for Him.

Aunque más digas, No lo mirará; haz juicio delante de él, y en él espera.

Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.

How much less when you say you don’t see him. The cause is before him, and you wait for him!

And, now, because there is not, He hath appointed His anger, And He hath not known in great extremity.

Mas ahora, porque en su ira no visita, ni conoce con rigor, por eso Job abrió su boca vanamente, y multiplica palabras sin sabiduría.

But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:

But now, because he has not visited in his anger, neither does he greatly regard arrogance,

And Job †with vanity doth open his mouth, Without knowledge words he multiplieth.

—

Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.

therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk, and he multiplies words without knowledge.”
