Giobbe 9
La Nuova Diodati
9 Allora Giobbe rispose e disse:
2 «Sí, io so che è cosí, ma come può un uomo essere giusto davanti a Dio?
3 Se uno volesse disputare con lui, non potrebbe rispondergli una volta su mille.
4 Dio è saggio di cuore e potente per la forza; chi mai si è indurito contro di lui e ha prosperato?
5 Egli sposta le montagne senza che se ne avvedano, quando nella sua ira le sconvolge.
6 Egli scuote la terra dal suo posto, e le sue colonne tremano.
7 Comanda al sole, ed esso non sorge, e mette un sigillo alle stelle.
8 Da solo dispiega i cieli e cammina sulle alte onde del mare.
9 Ha fatto l'Orsa e l'Orione, le Pleiadi e le regioni del sud.
10 Egli fa cose grandi e imperscrutabili, meraviglie senza numero
11 Ecco, mi passa vicino e non lo vedo, passa oltre e non me ne accorgo.
12 Ecco, afferra la preda, e chi gliela può riprendere? Chi può dirgli: "che cosa fai?"
13 Dio non ritira la sua collera, sotto di lui si curvano gli aiutanti di Rahab,
14 Come dunque potrei io rispondergli e scegliere le mie parole per discutere con lui?
15 Anche se avessi ragione, non potrei rispondergli, ma chiederei grazia al mio giudice.
16 Se io lo invocassi ed egli mi rispondesse, non potrei ancora credere che ha ascoltato la mia voce,
17 lui, che mi colpisce con la tempesta, e moltiplica le mie ferite senza motivo.
18 Non mi lascia riprendere fiato, anzi mi sazia di amarezze.
19 Se si tratta di forza, ecco, egli è potente; se di giudizio, chi mi fisserà un giorno per comparire?
20 Anche se fossi giusto, il mio stesso parlare mi condannerebbe; anche se fossi integro, egli proverebbe che sono perverso.
21 Sono integro, ma non ho alcuna stima di me stesso e disprezzo la mia vita.
22 E la stessa cosa; perciò dico: Egli distrugge l'integro e il malvagio
23 Se un flagello semina improvvisamente la morte, egli ride della sofferenza degli innocenti.
24 La terra è data in balìa dei malvagi; egli vela gli occhi ai giudici di essa; se non è lui, chi potrebbe dunque essere?
25 Ora i miei giorni passano piú veloci di un corridore, fuggono via senza vedere alcun bene.
26 Passano rapidi come navi di giunchi, come l'aquila che piomba sulla preda.
27 Se dico: "voglio dimenticare il mio lamento. deporre il mio aspetto triste e mostrarmi contento",
28 mi spavento per tutti i miei dolori; so bene che non mi riterrai innocente.
29 Se sono già stato condannato, perché affaticarmi invano?
30 Anche se mi lavassi con la neve e pulissi le mie mani con la soda,
31 tu mi getteresti nel fango di una fossa, le mie stesse vesti mi avrebbero in orrore.
32 Egli infatti non è un uomo come me, a cui possa rispondere e che possiamo comparire in giudizio assieme.
33 Non c'è alcun arbitro fra noi, che ponga la mano su tutti e due.
34 Allontani da me la sua verga, e il suo terrore non mi spaventi.
35 Allora potrò parlare senza temerlo. perché non sono cosí con me stesso».

Job
9 Then Job replied:
2 “Indeed, I know that this is true.
But how can mere mortals prove their innocence before God?(A)
3 Though they wished to dispute with him,(B)
they could not answer him one time out of a thousand.(C)
4 His wisdom(D) is profound, his power is vast.(E)
Who has resisted(F) him and come out unscathed?(G)
5 He moves mountains(H) without their knowing it
and overturns them in his anger.(I)
6 He shakes the earth(J) from its place
and makes its pillars tremble.(K)
7 He speaks to the sun and it does not shine;(L)
he seals off the light of the stars.(M)
8 He alone stretches out the heavens(N)
and treads on the waves of the sea.(O)
9 He is the Maker(P) of the Bear[a] and Orion,
the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.(Q)
10 He performs wonders(R) that cannot be fathomed,
miracles that cannot be counted.(S)
11 When he passes me, I cannot see him;
when he goes by, I cannot perceive him.(T)
12 If he snatches away, who can stop him?(U)
Who can say to him, ‘What are you doing?’(V)
13 God does not restrain his anger;(W)
even the cohorts of Rahab(X) cowered at his feet.
14 “How then can I dispute with him?
How can I find words to argue with him?(Y)
15 Though I were innocent, I could not answer him;(Z)
I could only plead(AA) with my Judge(AB) for mercy.(AC)
16 Even if I summoned him and he responded,
I do not believe he would give me a hearing.(AD)
17 He would crush me(AE) with a storm(AF)
and multiply(AG) my wounds for no reason.(AH)
18 He would not let me catch my breath
but would overwhelm me with misery.(AI)
19 If it is a matter of strength, he is mighty!(AJ)
And if it is a matter of justice, who can challenge him[b]?(AK)
20 Even if I were innocent, my mouth would condemn me;
if I were blameless, it would pronounce me guilty.(AL)
21 “Although I am blameless,(AM)
I have no concern for myself;(AN)
I despise my own life.(AO)
22 It is all the same; that is why I say,
‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’(AP)
23 When a scourge(AQ) brings sudden death,
he mocks the despair of the innocent.(AR)
24 When a land falls into the hands of the wicked,(AS)
he blindfolds its judges.(AT)
If it is not he, then who is it?(AU)
25 “My days are swifter than a runner;(AV)
they fly away without a glimpse of joy.(AW)
26 They skim past(AX) like boats of papyrus,(AY)
like eagles swooping down on their prey.(AZ)
27 If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint,(BA)
I will change my expression, and smile,’
28 I still dread(BB) all my sufferings,
for I know you will not hold me innocent.(BC)
29 Since I am already found guilty,
why should I struggle in vain?(BD)
30 Even if I washed myself with soap(BE)
and my hands(BF) with cleansing powder,(BG)
31 you would plunge me into a slime pit(BH)
so that even my clothes would detest me.(BI)
32 “He is not a mere mortal(BJ) like me that I might answer him,(BK)
that we might confront each other in court.(BL)
33 If only there were someone to mediate between us,(BM)
someone to bring us together,(BN)
34 someone to remove God’s rod from me,(BO)
so that his terror would frighten me no more.(BP)
35 Then I would speak up without fear of him,(BQ)
but as it now stands with me, I cannot.(BR)

Respuesta de Job a Bildad
9 Entonces Job respondió:
2 «En verdad yo sé que es así,
Pero ¿cómo puede un hombre ser justo delante de[a] Dios(A)?
3 -»Si alguien quisiera discutir con Él(B),
No podría contestar ni una vez entre mil.
4 -»Sabio de corazón(C) y robusto de fuerzas(D),
¿Quién lo ha desafiado[b] sin sufrir daño[c](E)?
5 -»Dios es el que remueve los montes, y estos no saben cómo
Cuando los vuelca en Su furor(F);
6 Él es el que sacude la tierra de su lugar(G),
Y sus columnas tiemblan(H).
7 -»El que manda al sol que no brille[d],
Y pone sello a las estrellas(I);
8 El que solo extiende los cielos(J),
Y anda[e] sobre las olas del mar(K);
9 Él es el que hace la Osa, el Orión y las Pléyades(L),
Y las cámaras del sur(M);
10 El que hace grandes cosas, inescrutables[f],
Y maravillas sin número(N).
11 -»Si Él pasara junto a mí, no lo vería;
Si me pasara adelante, no lo percibiría(O).
12 -»Si Él arrebatara algo, ¿quién lo impediría(P)?
Quién podrá decirle: “¿Qué haces(Q)?”.
13 ¶»Dios no retirará Su ira;
Debajo de Él quedan humillados los que ayudan al Rahab[g](R).
14 -»¿Cómo puedo yo responderle[h](S),
Y escoger mis palabras delante de[i] Él?
15 -»Porque aunque yo tuviera razón(T), no podría responder[j];
Tendría que implorar la misericordia de mi Juez(U).
16 -»Si yo llamara y Él me respondiera,
No podría creer que escuchara mi voz.
17 -»Porque Él me quebranta con tempestad,
Y sin causa multiplica mis heridas(V).
18 -»No me permite cobrar aliento(W),
Sino que me llena de amarguras(X).
19 -»Si es cuestión de poder, Él es poderoso(Y);
Y si es cuestión de justicia, ¿quién lo[k] citará?
20 -»Aunque soy justo(Z), mi boca me condenará(AA);
Aunque soy inocente[l], Él me declarará culpable.
21 -»Inocente soy(AB),
No hago caso de mí mismo,
Desprecio mi vida(AC).
22 -»Todo es lo mismo, por tanto digo:
“Él destruye al inocente y al impío(AD)”.
23 -»Si el azote mata de repente,
Él se burla de la desesperación del inocente(AE).
24 -»La tierra es entregada en manos de los impíos(AF);
Él cubre el rostro de sus jueces(AG);
Si no es Él, ¿entonces quién será?
25 ¶»Mis días son más ligeros que un corredor[m](AH);
Huyen, no ven el bien(AI);
26 Se deslizan como barcos de juncos(AJ),
Como águila que se arroja sobre su presa[n](AK).
27 -»Aunque yo diga: “Olvidaré mi queja(AL),
Cambiaré mi triste semblante y me alegraré”,
28 Temeroso(AM) estoy de todos mis dolores,
Sé que Tú no me absolverás(AN).
29 -»Si soy impío(AO),
¿Para qué, pues, esforzarme en vano?
30 -»Si me lavara con nieve
Y limpiara mis manos[o](AP) con lejía(AQ),
31 Aun así me hundirías en la fosa,
Y mis propios vestidos me aborrecerían.
32 -»Porque Él no es hombre(AR) como yo, para que le responda(AS),
Para que juntos vengamos a juicio.
33 -»No hay árbitro entre nosotros(AT),
Que ponga su mano sobre ambos.
34 -»Que Él quite de mí Su vara,
Y no me espante Su terror(AU).
35 -»Entonces yo hablaré y no le temeré(AV);
Porque en mi opinión[p] yo no soy así.

Job 9
King James Version
Job 9
King James Version
9 Then Job answered and said,
2 I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
3 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
4 He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?
5 Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.
6 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
7 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.
8 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
9 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
10 Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.
11 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
12 Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?
13 If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
14 How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?
15 Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.
16 If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.
17 For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
18 He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
19 If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?
20 If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
21 Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
22 This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
23 If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
25 Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.
26 They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.
27 If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:
28 I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
29 If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?
30 If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;
31 Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.
32 For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.
33 Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.
34 Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:
35 Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.
