Job 22
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Elifaz acusa a Job
22 Entonces Elifaz, el temanita respondió:
2 «¿Puede un hombre[a] ser útil a Dios(A),
O un sabio útil para sí mismo?
3 -»¿Es de algún beneficio al Todopoderoso[b] que tú seas justo,
O gana algo si haces perfectos tus caminos?
4 -»¿Es a causa de tu piedad[c] que Él te reprende,
Que entra en juicio contigo(B)?
5 -»¿No es grande tu maldad,
Y sin fin tus iniquidades(C)?
6 -»Porque sin razón tomabas prendas(D) de tus hermanos,
Y has despojado de sus ropas a los desnudos(E).
7 -»No dabas a beber agua al cansado,
Y le negabas(F) pan al hambriento(G).
8 -»Pero la tierra es del poderoso(H),
Y el privilegiado[d](I) mora en ella.
9 -»Despedías a las viudas(J) con las manos vacías
Y quebrabas los brazos[e] de los huérfanos(K).
10 -»Por eso te rodean lazos(L),
Y te aterra temor repentino(M),
11 O tinieblas(N), y no puedes ver,
Y abundancia de agua te cubre(O).
12 ¶»¿No está Dios en lo alto de los cielos(P)?
Mira también las más lejanas[f] estrellas, ¡cuán altas están!
13 -»Y tú dices: “¿Qué sabe Dios(Q)?
¿Puede Él juzgar a través de las densas tinieblas?
14 -”Las nubes lo ocultan(R), y no puede ver,
Y se pasea por la bóveda[g] del cielo”.
15 -»¿Seguirás en la senda antigua
En que anduvieron los hombres malvados(S),
16 Que fueron arrebatados antes de su tiempo(T),
Y cuyos cimientos fueron arrasados[h] por un río(U)?
17 -»Ellos dijeron a Dios: “Apártate de nosotros”
Y: “¿Qué puede hacernos[i] el Todopoderoso(V)?”.
18 -»Él había llenado de bienes sus casas(W),
Pero el consejo de los malos está lejos de mí(X).
19 -»Los justos ven y se alegran,
Y el inocente se burla de ellos(Y),
20 Diciendo: “Ciertamente nuestros adversarios han sido destruidos,
Y el fuego ha consumido(Z) su abundancia[j]”.
21 ¶»Cede[k] ahora y haz la paz con Él,
Así te vendrá el bien(AA).
22 -»Recibe, te ruego, la instrucción[l] de Su boca,
Y pon Sus palabras en tu corazón(AB).
23 -»Si vuelves al Todopoderoso(AC), serás restaurado[m].
Si alejas de tu tienda la injusticia(AD),
24 Y pones tu oro[n](AE) en el polvo,
Y el oro de Ofir entre las piedras de los arroyos,
25 El Todopoderoso será para ti tu oro[o]
Y tu plata escogida.
26 -»Porque entonces te deleitarás en el Todopoderoso(AF),
Y alzarás a Dios tu rostro.
27 -»Orarás a Él(AG) y te escuchará(AH),
Y cumplirás tus votos.
28 -»Decidirás una cosa, y se te cumplirá,
Y en tus caminos resplandecerá la luz(AI).
29 -»Cuando estés abatido[p], hablarás con confianza[q]
Y Él salvará al humilde[r](AJ).
30 -»Él librará aun al que no es inocente,
Que será librado por la pureza de tus manos[s](AK)».

约伯记 22
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
第三次对话(A)
22 提幔人以利法回答说：
2 “人能使 神有益吗？
智慧人能使他有益吗？[a]
3 你为人公义，岂能叫全能者喜悦呢？
你行为完全，岂能使他得利呢？
4 他岂是因你敬畏的心就责备你，
审判你吗？
5 你的罪恶岂不是大吗？
你的罪孽不是没有穷尽吗？
6 因你无故强取弟兄的抵押，
剥去赤身者的衣服。
7 疲乏的人，你没有给他水喝；
饥饿的人，你没有给他食物。
8 有能力的人得土地；
尊贵的人住在其中。
9 你打发寡妇空手回去，
你折断孤儿的膀臂。
10 因此，有罗网环绕你，
有恐惧忽然使你惊惶；
11 或有黑暗使你看不见[b]，
有洪水淹没你。
12 “ 神岂不是在高天吗？
你看星宿的顶点何其高呢！
13 你说：‘ 神知道什么？
他岂能透过幽暗施行审判呢？
14 密云将他遮盖，使他不能看见；
他周游穹苍。’
15 你要依从上古的道吗？
这道是恶人行过的。
16 他们未到时候就被抓去[c]；
他们的根基被江河冲去。
17 他们向 神说：‘离开我们吧！’
全能者能把他们怎么样呢？
18 然而，是 神以美物充满他们的房屋；
恶人的计谋离我好远！
19 义人看见他们的结局[d]就欢喜；
无辜的人嗤笑他们：
20 ‘攻击我们的果然被剪除，
剩余的都被火吞灭。’
21 “你要与 神和好，要和平，
这样，福气必临到你。
22 你当领受他口中的教导，
将他的言语存在心里。
23 你若归向全能者，就必得建立。
你要从你帐棚中远离不义，
24 你要将黄金丢到尘土里，
将俄斐的金子丢在溪河石头之间；
25 全能者就必作你的黄金，
作你成堆的银子。
26 那时，你要以全能者为喜乐，
向 神仰脸。
27 你要向他祷告，他就听你；
你也要还你的愿。
28 你定意要做何事，必然为你成就；
亮光也必照耀你的路。
29 当人降卑，你说：是因骄傲；
眼目谦卑的人， 神必然拯救。
30 不是无辜的人， 神尚且要搭救他[e]；
他必因你手中的清洁得蒙拯救。”
Job 22
King James Version
22 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
2 Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?
3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?
4 Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?
5 Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?
6 For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
7 Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.
8 But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.
9 Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
10 Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;
11 Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.
12 Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
13 And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?
14 Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.
15 Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
16 Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:
17 Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?
18 Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
19 The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.
20 Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.
21 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.
22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.
23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
24 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.
26 For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.
27 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.
28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
29 When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
30 He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
Job 22
New King James Version
Eliphaz Accuses Job of Wickedness
22 Then (A)Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
2 “Can(B) a man be profitable to God,
Though he who is wise may be profitable to himself?
3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous?
Or is it gain to Him that you make your ways blameless?
4 “Is it because of your fear of Him that He corrects you,
And enters into judgment with you?
5 Is not your wickedness great,
And your iniquity without end?
6 For you have (C)taken pledges from your brother for no reason,
And stripped the naked of their clothing.
7 You have not given the weary water to drink,
And you (D)have withheld bread from the hungry.
8 But the [a]mighty man possessed the land,
And the honorable man dwelt in it.
9 You have sent widows away empty,
And the [b]strength of the fatherless was crushed.
10 Therefore snares are all around you,
And sudden fear troubles you,
11 Or darkness so that you cannot see;
And an abundance of (E)water covers you.
12 “Is not God in the height of heaven?
And see the highest stars, how lofty they are!
13 And you say, (F)‘What does God know?
Can He judge through the deep darkness?
14 (G)Thick clouds cover Him, so that He cannot see,
And He walks above the circle of heaven.’
15 Will you keep to the old way
Which wicked men have trod,
16 Who (H)were cut down before their time,
Whose foundations were swept away by a flood?
17 (I)They said to God, ‘Depart from us!
What can the Almighty do to [c]them?’
18 Yet He filled their houses with good things;
But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
19 “The(J) righteous see it and are glad,
And the innocent laugh at them:
20 ‘Surely our [d]adversaries are cut down,
And the fire consumes their remnant.’
21 “Now acquaint yourself with Him, and (K)be at peace;
Thereby good will come to you.
22 Receive, please, (L)instruction from His mouth,
And (M)lay up His words in your heart.
23 If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up;
You will remove iniquity far from your tents.
24 Then you will (N)lay your gold in the dust,
And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks.
25 Yes, the Almighty will be your [e]gold
And your precious silver;
26 For then you will have your (O)delight in the Almighty,
And lift up your face to God.
27 (P)You will make your prayer to Him,
He will hear you,
And you will pay your vows.
28 You will also declare a thing,
And it will be established for you;
So light will shine on your ways.
29 When they cast you down, and you say, ‘Exaltation will come!’
Then (Q)He will save the humble person.
30 He will even deliver one who is not innocent;
Yes, he will be delivered by the purity of your hands.”
