Job 39
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
39 »¿Sabes cuándo los íbices tienen sus crías?
¿Has visto el parto de las gacelas?
2 ¿Has contado los meses de su gestación?
¿Sabes cuándo paren?
3 Al tener sus crías se encorvan,
y allí terminan sus dolores de parto.
4 Crecen sus crías, y en el bosque se hacen fuertes;
luego se van y ya no vuelven.
5 »¿Quién deja sueltos a los asnos salvajes?
¿Quién les desata las cuerdas?
6 Yo les di el páramo por morada,
el yermo por hábitat.
7 Se burlan del ajetreo de la ciudad;
no prestan atención a los gritos del arriero.
8 Recorren los cerros en busca de pastos,
en busca de verdes prados.
9 »¿Crees tú que el toro salvaje se prestará a servirte?
¿Pasará la noche en tus establos?
10 ¿Puedes mantenerlo en el surco con la soga?
¿Irá en pos de ti labrando los valles?
11 ¿Pondrás tu confianza en su tremenda fuerza?
¿Echarás sobre sus lomos tu pesado trabajo?
12 ¿Puedes confiar en él para que acarree tu grano
y lo junte en el lugar donde lo trillas?
13 »El avestruz bate alegremente sus alas,
pero su plumaje no es como el de la cigüeña.[a]
14 Pone sus huevos en la tierra,
los deja empollar en la arena,
15 sin que le importe aplastarlos con sus patas,
o que las bestias salvajes los pisoteen.
16 Maltrata a sus polluelos como si no fueran suyos,
y no le importa haber trabajado en vano,
17 pues Dios no le dio sabiduría
ni le impartió su porción de buen juicio.
18 Pero, cuando extiende sus alas y corre,
se ríe de jinetes y caballos.
19 »¿Le has dado al caballo su fuerza?
¿Has cubierto su cuello con largas crines?
20 ¿Eres tú quien lo hace saltar como langosta,
con su orgulloso resoplido que infunde terror?
21 Patalea con furia, regocijándose en su fuerza,
y se lanza al galope hacia la llanura.
22 Se burla del miedo; a nada le teme;
no rehúye hacerle frente a la espada.
23 En torno a él silban las flechas,
brillan las lanzas y las jabalinas.
24 En frenética carrera devora las distancias;
al toque de trompeta no es posible refrenarlo.
25 En cuanto suena la trompeta, resopla desafiante;
percibe desde lejos el fragor[b] de la batalla,
los gritos de combate y las órdenes de ataque.
26 »¿Es tu sabiduría la que hace que el halcón vuele
y que hacia el sur extienda sus alas?
27 ¿Acaso por tus órdenes remonta el vuelo el águila
y construye su nido en las alturas?
28 Habita en los riscos; allí pasa la noche;
en escarpadas grietas tiene su baluarte.
29 Desde allí acecha la presa;
sus ojos la detectan desde lejos.
30 Sus polluelos se regodean en la sangre;
donde hay un cadáver, allí está el halcón».

Chapter 39
1 Do you know when mountain goats are born,
or watch for the birth pangs of deer,
2 Number the months that they must fulfill,
or know when they give birth,
3 When they crouch down and drop their young,
when they deliver their progeny?
4 Their offspring thrive and grow in the open,
they leave and do not return.
5 Who has given the wild donkey his freedom,
and who has loosed the wild ass from bonds?
6 I have made the wilderness his home
and the salt flats his dwelling.
7 He scoffs at the uproar of the city,
hears no shouts of a driver.
8 He ranges the mountains for pasture,
and seeks out every patch of green.
9 Will the wild ox consent to serve you,
or pass the nights at your manger?
10 Will you bind the wild ox with a rope in the furrow,
and will he plow the valleys after you?
11 Will you depend on him for his great strength
and leave to him the fruits of your toil?
12 Can you rely on him to bring in your grain
and gather in the yield of your threshing floor?
13 The wings of the ostrich[a] flap away;
her plumage is lacking in feathers.
14 When she abandons her eggs on the ground[b]
and lets them warm in the sand,
15 She forgets that a foot may crush them,
that the wild beasts may trample them;
16 She cruelly disowns her young
and her labor is useless; she has no fear.
17 For God has withheld wisdom from her
and given her no share in understanding.
18 Yet when she spreads her wings high,
she laughs at a horse and rider.
19 Do you give the horse his strength,[c]
and clothe his neck with a mane?
20 Do you make him quiver like a locust,
while his thunderous snorting spreads terror?
21 He paws the valley, he rejoices in his strength,
and charges into battle.
22 He laughs at fear and cannot be terrified;
he does not retreat from the sword.
23 Around him rattles the quiver,
flashes the spear and the javelin.
24 Frenzied and trembling he devours the ground;
he does not hold back at the sound of the trumpet;
25 at the trumpet’s call he cries, “Aha!”
Even from afar he scents the battle,
the roar of the officers and the shouting.
26 Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars,
that he spreads his wings toward the south?
27 Does the eagle fly up at your command
to build his nest up high?
28 On a cliff he dwells and spends the night,
on the spur of cliff or fortress.
29 From there he watches for his food;
his eyes behold it afar off.
30 His young ones greedily drink blood;
where the slain are, there is he.(A)
Job 39
New International Version
Job 39
New International Version
39 “Do you know when the mountain goats(A) give birth?
Do you watch when the doe bears her fawn?(B)
2 Do you count the months till they bear?
Do you know the time they give birth?(C)
3 They crouch down and bring forth their young;
their labor pains are ended.
4 Their young thrive and grow strong in the wilds;
they leave and do not return.
5 “Who let the wild donkey(D) go free?
Who untied its ropes?
6 I gave it the wasteland(E) as its home,
the salt flats(F) as its habitat.(G)
7 It laughs(H) at the commotion in the town;
it does not hear a driver’s shout.(I)
8 It ranges the hills(J) for its pasture
and searches for any green thing.
9 “Will the wild ox(K) consent to serve you?(L)
Will it stay by your manger(M) at night?
10 Can you hold it to the furrow with a harness?(N)
Will it till the valleys behind you?
11 Will you rely on it for its great strength?(O)
Will you leave your heavy work to it?
12 Can you trust it to haul in your grain
and bring it to your threshing floor?
13 “The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully,
though they cannot compare
with the wings and feathers of the stork.(P)
14 She lays her eggs on the ground
and lets them warm in the sand,
15 unmindful that a foot may crush them,
that some wild animal may trample them.(Q)
16 She treats her young harshly,(R) as if they were not hers;
she cares not that her labor was in vain,
17 for God did not endow her with wisdom
or give her a share of good sense.(S)
18 Yet when she spreads her feathers to run,
she laughs(T) at horse and rider.
19 “Do you give the horse its strength(U)
or clothe its neck with a flowing mane?
20 Do you make it leap like a locust,(V)
striking terror(W) with its proud snorting?(X)
21 It paws fiercely, rejoicing in its strength,(Y)
and charges into the fray.(Z)
22 It laughs(AA) at fear, afraid of nothing;
it does not shy away from the sword.
23 The quiver(AB) rattles against its side,
along with the flashing spear(AC) and lance.
24 In frenzied excitement it eats up the ground;
it cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds.(AD)
25 At the blast of the trumpet(AE) it snorts, ‘Aha!’
It catches the scent of battle from afar,
the shout of commanders and the battle cry.(AF)
26 “Does the hawk take flight by your wisdom
and spread its wings toward the south?(AG)
27 Does the eagle soar at your command
and build its nest on high?(AH)
28 It dwells on a cliff and stays there at night;
a rocky crag(AI) is its stronghold.
29 From there it looks for food;(AJ)
its eyes detect it from afar.
30 Its young ones feast on blood,
and where the slain are, there it is.”(AK)
