Job 40

Againe the Lord answered Iob out of the whirle winde, and said,

ENTONCES respondió Jehová á Job desde la oscuridad, y dijo:

Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,

Moreover the LORD answered Job,

Girde vp now thy loynes like a man: I will demaunde of thee, and declare thou vnto me.

Cíñete ahora como varón tus lomos; yo te preguntaré, y explícame.

Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.

“Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it.”

Wilt thou disanul my iudgement? or wilt thou condemne me, that thou mayst be iustified?

¿Invalidarás tú también mi juicio? ¿me condenarás á mí, para justificarte á ti?

Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

Then Job answered the LORD,

Or hast thou an arme like God? or doest thou thunder with a voyce like him?

¿Tienes tú brazo como Dios? ¿y tronarás tú con voz como él?

Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.

“Behold, I am of small account. What will I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.

Decke thy selfe now with maiestie and excellencie, and aray thy selfe with beautie and glory.

Atavíate ahora de majestad y de alteza: y vístete de honra y de hermosura.

Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.

I have spoken once, and I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.”

Cast abroad the indignation of thy wrath, and beholde euery one that is proude, and abase him.

Esparce furores de tu ira: y mira á todo soberbio, y abátelo.

Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind:

Looke on euery one that is arrogant, and bring him lowe: and destroy the wicked in their place.

Mira á todo soberbio, y humíllalo, y quebranta á los impíos en su asiento.

Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

“Now brace yourself like a man. I will question you, and you will answer me.

Hide them in the dust together, and binde their faces in a secret place.

Encúbrelos á todos en el polvo, venda sus rostros en la oscuridad;

Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?

Will you even annul my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be justified?

Then will I confesse vnto thee also, that thy right hand can saue thee.

Y yo también te confesaré que podrá salvarte tu diestra.

Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

Or do you have an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him?

Behold now Behemoth (whom I made with thee) which eateth grasse as an oxe.

He aquí ahora behemoth, al cual yo hice contigo; hierba come como buey.

Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.

“Now deck yourself with excellency and dignity. Array yourself with honor and majesty.

Behold now, his strength is in his loynes, and his force is in the nauil of his belly.

He aquí ahora que su fuerza está en sus lomos, y su fortaleza en el ombligo de su vientre.

Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.

Pour out the fury of your anger. Look at everyone who is proud, and bring him low.

When hee taketh pleasure, his taile is like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapt together.

Su cola mueve como un cedro, y los nervios de sus genitales son entretejidos.

Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.

Look at everyone who is proud, and humble him. Crush the wicked in their place.

His bones are like staues of brasse, and his small bones like staues of yron.

Sus huesos son fuertes como bronce, y sus miembros como barras de hierro.

Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.

Hide them in the dust together. Bind their faces in the hidden place.

He is the chiefe of the wayes of God: he that made him, will make his sworde to approch vnto him.

El es la cabeza de los caminos de Dios: el que lo hizo, puede hacer que su cuchillo á él se acerque.

Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.

Then I will also admit to you that your own right hand can save you.

Surely the mountaines bring him foorth grasse, where all the beastes of the fielde play.

Ciertamente los montes producen hierba para él: y toda bestia del campo retoza allá.

Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.

“See now behemoth, which I made as well as you. He eats grass as an ox.

Lyeth hee vnder the trees in the couert of the reede and fennes?

Echaráse debajo de las sombras, en lo oculto de las cañas, y de los lugares húmedos.

Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.

Look now, his strength is in his thighs. His force is in the muscles of his belly.

Can the trees couer him with their shadow? or can the willowes of the riuer compasse him about?

Los árboles sombríos lo cubren con su sombra; los sauces del arroyo lo cercan.

He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.

He moves his tail like a cedar. The sinews of his thighs are knit together.

Behold, he spoyleth the riuer, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw vp Iorden into his mouth.

His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.

His bones are like tubes of bronze. His limbs are like bars of iron.

Hee taketh it with his eyes, and thrusteth his nose through whatsoeuer meeteth him.

¿Tomarálo alguno por sus ojos en armadijos, y horadará su nariz?

He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.

He is the chief of the ways of God. He who made him gives him his sword.

Canst thou drawe out Liuiathan with an hooke, and with a line which thou shalt cast downe vnto his tongue?

He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.

He lies under the lotus trees, in the covert of the reed, and the marsh.

Will he make many prayers vnto thee, or speake thee faire?

The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.

The lotuses cover him with their shade. The willows of the brook surround him.

Will hee make a couenant with thee? and wilt thou take him as a seruant for euer?

—

Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.

Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn’t tremble. He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.

Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bynd him for thy maydes?

—

He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.

Shall any take him when he is on the watch, or pierce through his nose with a snare?

Shall the companions baket with him? shall they deuide him among the marchants?

Canst thou fill the basket with his skinne? or the fishpanier with his head?

—

—

—

Lay thine hand vpon him: remember the battel, and do no more so.

—

Behold, his hope is in vaine: for shall not one perish euen at the sight of him?
