Job 10
La Palabra (Hispanoamérica)
10 Me da asco mi existencia,
daré rienda suelta a mis quejas,
hablaré repleto de amargura.
2 Diré a Dios: “No me declares culpable;
y dime por qué eres mi adversario.
3 ¿Disfrutas acaso oprimiéndome,
rechazando la obra de tus manos,
y aprobando los planes del malvado?
4 ¿Son acaso tus ojos de carne
y ves las cosas lo mismo que un humano?
5 ¿Es tu vida la de un simple mortal,
tu existencia la de un ser humano,
6 para que busques algo malo en mí
e indagues si tengo pecado?
7 De sobra sabes que no soy culpable,
pero nadie me librará de tus manos.
8 Tus manos me modelaron, me hicieron,
¿y ahora te vuelves y me destruyes?
9 Recuerda que me hiciste de barro
y que al polvo me vas a devolver.
10 ¿No me vertiste como leche
y me cuajaste como al queso?
11 Me forraste de piel y carne,
me tejiste con huesos y tendones.
12 Me concediste el favor de la vida,
rodeaste mi existencia de atenciones.
13 Pero algo planeabas en secreto,
sé que planeabas lo siguiente:
14 si pecaba, me estarías vigilando
y no disculparías mis fallos;
15 si era culpable, ¡pobre de mí!;
si inocente, no alzaría la frente,
saciado de afrentas, harto de aflicción;
16 si tratara de mostrarme firme,
me darías caza como un león,
repitiendo tus hazañas a mi costa;
17 renovarías tu enemistad contra mí,
contra mí aumentarías tu furor
atacándome con tropas de relevo.
18 ¿Para qué me sacaste del vientre?
Habría muerto sin que nadie lo viese,
19 sería como si no hubiera existido,
arrastrado del vientre a la tumba.
20 ¡Qué rápida discurre mi vida!
¡Déjame! ¡Aléjate de mí!
Deja que disfrute un poco,
21 antes de que vaya al país de tinieblas,
y de sombras de muerte,
sin que pueda regresar,
22 al país lúgubre como la oscuridad,
con sombras de muertos, caótico,
donde la luz sólo es oscuridad”.
Job 10
King James Version
10 My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.
3 Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
4 Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
5 Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man's days,
6 That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?
7 Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.
8 Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.
9 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
10 Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
11 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.
12 Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
13 And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee.
14 If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
15 If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;
16 For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.
17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.
18 Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
19 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20 Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
21 Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
22 A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
Job 10
New King James Version
Job: I Would Plead with God
10 “My (A)soul loathes my life;
I will [a]give free course to my complaint,
(B)I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 I will say to God, ‘Do not condemn me;
Show me why You contend with me.
3 Does it seem good to You that You should oppress,
That You should despise the work of Your hands,
And smile on the counsel of the wicked?
4 Do You have eyes of flesh?
Or (C)do You see as man sees?
5 Are Your days like the days of a mortal man?
Are Your years like the days of a mighty man,
6 That You should seek for my iniquity
And search out my sin,
7 Although You know that I am not wicked,
And there is no one who can deliver from Your hand?
8 ‘Your(D) hands have made me and fashioned me,
An intricate unity;
Yet You would (E)destroy me.
9 Remember, I pray, (F)that You have made me like clay.
And will You turn me into dust again?
10 (G)Did You not pour me out like milk,
And curdle me like cheese,
11 Clothe me with skin and flesh,
And knit me together with bones and sinews?
12 You have granted me life and favor,
And Your care has preserved my spirit.
13 ‘And these things You have hidden in Your heart;
I know that this was with You:
14 If I sin, then (H)You mark me,
And will not acquit me of my iniquity.
15 If I am wicked, (I)woe to me;
(J)Even if I am righteous, I [b]cannot lift up my head.
I am full of disgrace;
(K)See my misery!
16 If my head is exalted,
(L)You hunt me like a fierce lion,
And again You show Yourself awesome against me.
17 You renew Your witnesses against me,
And increase Your indignation toward me;
Changes and war are ever with me.
18 ‘Why(M) then have You brought me out of the womb?
Oh, that I had perished and no eye had seen me!
19 I would have been as though I had not been.
I would have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20 (N)Are not my days few?
Cease! (O)Leave me alone, that I may take a little comfort,
21 Before I go to the place from which I shall not return,
(P)To the land of darkness (Q)and the shadow of death,
22 A land as dark as darkness itself,
As the shadow of death, without any order,
Where even the light is like darkness.’ ”
