|
1 Entonces respondió Zofar naamatita, y dijo:
|
1 Then Zophar the Naamathite replied:
|
|
2 Por esto mis pensamientos me hacen responder, a causa de mi inquietud interior.
|
2 "My troubled thoughts prompt me to answer because I am greatly disturbed.
|
|
3 He escuchado la reprensión que me insulta, y el espíritu de mi entendimiento me hace responder.
|
3 I hear a rebuke that dishonors me, and my understanding inspires me to reply.
|
|
4 ¿Acaso sabes esto, que desde la antiguedad, desde que el hombre fue puesto sobre la tierra,
|
4 "Surely you know how it has been from of old, ever since man was placed on the earth,
|
|
5 es breve el júbilo de los malvados, y un instante dura la alegría del impío?
|
5 that the mirth of the wicked is brief, the joy of the godless lasts but a moment.
|
|
6 Aunque su presunción llegue a los cielos, y su cabeza toque las nubes,
|
6 Though his pride reaches to the heavens and his head touches the clouds,
|
|
7 como su propio estiércol perece para siempre; los que lo han visto dirán: "¿Dónde está?"
|
7 he will perish forever, like his own dung; those who have seen him will say, 'Where is he?'
|
|
8 Huye como un sueño, y no lo pueden encontrar, y como visión nocturna es ahuyentado.
|
8 Like a dream he flies away, no more to be found, banished like a vision of the night.
|
|
9 El ojo que lo veía, ya no lo ve, y su lugar no lo contempla más.
|
9 The eye that saw him will not see him again; his place will look on him no more.
|
|
10 Sus hijos favorecen a los pobres, y sus manos devuelven sus riquezas.
|
10 His children must make amends to the poor; his own hands must give back his wealth.
|
|
11 Sus huesos están llenos de vigor juvenil, mas con él en el polvo yacen.
|
11 The youthful vigor that fills his bones will lie with him in the dust.
|
|
12 Aunque el mal sea dulce en su boca, y lo oculte bajo su lengua,
|
12 "Though evil is sweet in his mouth and he hides it under his tongue,
|
|
13 aunque lo desee y no lo deje ir, sino que lo retenga en su paladar,
|
13 though he cannot bear to let it go and keeps it in his mouth,
|
|
14 con todo la comida en sus entrañas se transforma en veneno de cobras dentro de él.
|
14 yet his food will turn sour in his stomach; it will become the venom of serpents within him.
|
|
15 Traga riquezas, pero las vomitará; de su vientre se las hará echar Dios.
|
15 He will spit out the riches he swallowed; God will make his stomach vomit them up.
|
|
16 Chupa veneno de cobras, lengua de víbora lo mata.
|
16 He will suck the poison of serpents; the fangs of an adder will kill him.
|
|
17 No mira a los arroyos, a los ríos que fluyen miel y cuajada.
|
17 He will not enjoy the streams, the rivers flowing with honey and cream.
|
|
18 Devuelve lo que ha ganado, no lo puede tragar; en cuanto a las riquezas de su comercio, no las puede disfrutar.
|
18 What he toiled for he must give back uneaten; he will not enjoy the profit from his trading.
|
|
19 Pues ha oprimido y abandonado a los pobres; se ha apoderado de una casa que no construyó.
|
19 For he has oppressed the poor and left them destitute; he has seized houses he did not build.
|
|
20 Porque no conoció sosiego en su interior, no retiene nada de lo que desea.
|
20 "Surely he will have no respite from his craving; he cannot save himself by his treasure.
|
|
21 Nada le quedó por devorar, por eso no dura su prosperidad.
|
21 Nothing is left for him to devour; his prosperity will not endure.
|
|
22 En la plenitud de su abundancia estará en estrechez; la mano de todo el que sufre vendrá contra él.
|
22 In the midst of his plenty, distress will overtake him; the full force of misery will come upon him.
|
|
23 Cuando llene su vientre, Dios enviará contra él el ardor de su ira y la hará llover sobre él mientras come.
|
23 When he has filled his belly, God will vent his burning anger against him and rain down his blows upon him.
|
|
24 Tal vez huya del arma de hierro, pero el arco de bronce lo atravesará.
|
24 Though he flees from an iron weapon, a bronze-tipped arrow pierces him.
|
|
25 La saeta lo traspasa y sale por su espalda, y la punta relumbrante por su hiel. Vienen sobre él terrores,
|
25 He pulls it out of his back, the gleaming point out of his liver. Terrors will come over him;
|
|
26 completas tinieblas están reservadas para sus tesoros; fuego no atizado lo devorará, y consumirá al que quede en su tienda.
|
26 total darkness lies in wait for his treasures. A fire unfanned will consume him and devour what is left in his tent.
|
|
27 Los cielos revelarán su iniquidad, y la tierra se levantará contra él.
|
27 The heavens will expose his guilt; the earth will rise up against him.
|
|
28 Las riquezas de su casa se perderán; serán arrasadas en el día de su ira.
|
28 A flood will carry off his house, rushing waters on the day of God's wrath.
|
|
29 Esta es la porción de Dios para el hombre impío, y la herencia decretada por Dios para él.
|
29 Such is the fate God allots the wicked, the heritage appointed for them by God."
