Zofar acusa de maldad a Job
11 Respondió Zofar naamatita, y dijo:
2 ¿Las muchas palabras no han de tener respuesta?
¿Y el hombre que habla mucho será justificado?
3 ¿Harán tus falacias callar a los hombres?
¿Harás escarnio y no habrá quien te avergüence?
4 Tú dices: Mi doctrina es pura,
Y yo soy limpio delante de tus ojos.
5 Mas ¡oh, quién diera que Dios hablara,
Y abriera sus labios contigo,
6 Y te declarara los secretos de la sabiduría,
Que son de doble valor que las riquezas!
Conocerías entonces que Dios te ha castigado menos de lo que tu iniquidad merece.
7 ¿Descubrirás tú los secretos de Dios?
¿Llegarás tú a la perfección del Todopoderoso?
8 Es más alta que los cielos; ¿qué harás?
Es más profunda que el Seol; ¿cómo la conocerás?
9 Su dimensión es más extensa que la tierra,
Y más ancha que el mar.
10 Si él pasa, y aprisiona, y llama a juicio,
¿Quién podrá contrarrestarle?
11 Porque él conoce a los hombres vanos;
Ve asimismo la iniquidad, ¿y no hará caso?
12 El hombre vano se hará entendido,
Cuando un pollino de asno montés nazca hombre.
13 Si tú dispusieres tu corazón,
Y extendieres a él tus manos;
14 Si alguna iniquidad hubiere en tu mano, y la echares de ti,
Y no consintieres que more en tu casa la injusticia,
15 Entonces levantarás tu rostro limpio de mancha,
Y serás fuerte, y nada temerás;
16 Y olvidarás tu miseria,
O te acordarás de ella como de aguas que pasaron.
17 La vida te será más clara que el mediodía;
Aunque oscureciere, será como la mañana.
18 Tendrás confianza, porque hay esperanza;
Mirarás alrededor, y dormirás seguro.
19 Te acostarás, y no habrá quien te espante;
Y muchos suplicarán tu favor.
20 Pero los ojos de los malos se consumirán,
Y no tendrán refugio;
Y su esperanza será dar su último suspiro.

Zophar Urges Job to Repent
11 Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said:
2 “Should not the multitude of words be answered?
And should [a]a man full of talk be vindicated?
3 Should your empty talk make men [b]hold their peace?
And when you mock, should no one rebuke you?
4 For you have said,
(A)‘My doctrine is pure,
And I am clean in your eyes.’
5 But oh, that God would speak,
And open His lips against you,
6 That He would show you the secrets of wisdom!
For they would double your prudence.
Know therefore that (B)God [c]exacts from you
Less than your iniquity deserves.
7 “Can(C) you search out the deep things of God?
Can you find out the limits of the Almighty?
8 They are higher than heaven—what can you do?
Deeper than [d]Sheol—what can you know?
9 Their measure is longer than the earth
And broader than the sea.
10 “If(D) He passes by, imprisons, and gathers to judgment,
Then who can [e]hinder Him?
11 For (E)He knows deceitful men;
He sees wickedness also.
Will He not then consider it?
12 For an (F)empty-headed man will be wise,
When a wild donkey’s colt is born a man.
13 “If you would (G)prepare your heart,
And (H)stretch out your hands toward Him;
14 If iniquity were in your hand, and you put it far away,
And (I)would not let wickedness dwell in your tents;
15 (J)Then surely you could lift up your face without spot;
Yes, you could be steadfast, and not fear;
16 Because you would (K)forget your misery,
And remember it as waters that have passed away,
17 And your life (L)would be brighter than noonday.
Though you were dark, you would be like the morning.
18 And you would be secure, because there is hope;
Yes, you would dig around you, and (M)take your rest in safety.
19 You would also lie down, and no one would make you afraid;
Yes, many would court your favor.
20 But (N)the eyes of the wicked will fail,
And they shall not escape,
And (O)their hope—[f]loss of life!”

Primera reprensión de Sofar a Job
11 Habló entonces Sofar el naamatita:
2 «El que habla mucho, ¿no debe escuchar?
¿Se declara inocente al parlanchín?
3 ¿Vas a engañarnos con tus embustes?
¿Te burlas de nosotros sin que nadie te responda?
4 Tú afirmas: “Lo que digo es la verdad.
No tenga nada de qué avergonzarme.”
5 ¡Cómo quisiera yo que Dios hablara
y que con sus propios labios te acusara;
6 que te revelara los secretos de la sabiduría,
y te hiciera ver el otro lado de la moneda!
Verías entonces que Dios no te ha castigado
como realmente lo merece tu maldad.
7 »¿Puedes descubrir los secretos de Dios?
¿Puedes ser tan perfecto como el Todopoderoso?
8 ¿Cómo podrías, si están por encima de los cielos?
¿Cómo podrías, si son más profundos que el sepulcro?
9 ¡Son más extensos que la tierra!
¡son más vastos que el ancho mar!
10 Si Dios te aprehende, y te llama a cuentas,
no podrás hacerlo desistir.
11 Dios sabe cuando la gente es falsa;
se da cuenta cuando la gente actúa mal.
12 ¿Sabes cuándo el necio llegará a ser sabio?
¡Cuando de un asno montés nazca un hombre!
13 »Si de todo corazón elevas tus manos,
y te dispones a rogarle a Dios;
14 y si te arrepientes de toda maldad,
y alejas de tu casa la iniquidad,
15 podrás levantar la cara limpia de pecado,
y podrás sentirte libre y sin ningún temor;
16 te olvidarás de tus tristezas,
o pensarás en ellas como el agua que pasa.
17 Tu vida será más clara que la luz del mediodía,
y aun la oscuridad será como el amanecer.
18 Volverás a confiar porque tendrás esperanza;
y rodeado de paz podrás dormir tranquilo.
19 Nada podrá perturbar tu sueño;
y muchos te buscarán para pedir tu favor.
20 Pero los malvados irán perdiendo la vista,
y no hallarán un lugar de refugio;
sólo desearán exhalar el último suspiro.»

Zophar Rebukes Job
11 Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said,
2
“Shall a multitude of words not be answered?
And should a talkative man [making such a long-winded defense] be acquitted?
3
“Should your boasts and babble silence men?
And shall you scoff and no one put you to shame?
4
“For you have said, ‘My teaching (doctrine) [that God knowingly afflicts the righteous] is pure,
And I am innocent in your eyes.’(A)
5
“But oh, that God would speak,
And open His lips [to speak] against you,
6
And [that He would] show you the secrets of wisdom!
For sound wisdom [a]has two sides.
Know therefore that God forgets a part of your wickedness and guilt.
7
“Can you discover the depths of God?
Can you [by searching] discover the limits of the Almighty [ascend to His heights, extend to His widths, and comprehend His infinite perfection]?
8
“His wisdom is as high as the heights of heaven. What can you do?
It is deeper than Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead). What can you know?
9
“It is longer in measure [and scope] than the earth,
And broader than the sea.
10
“If God passes by or arrests,
Or calls an assembly [of judgment], who can restrain Him?
[If He is against a man, who can call Him to account for it?]
11
“For He recognizes and knows false and worthless men,
And He sees wickedness, will He not consider it?
12
“But a hollow (empty-headed) man will become intelligent and wise
[Only] when the [b]colt of a wild donkey is born as a man.
13
“If you direct your heart [on the right path]
And stretch out your hands to Him,
14
If sin is in your hand, put it far away [from you],
And do not let wrongdoing dwell in your tents;
15
Then, indeed, you could lift up your face [to Him] without moral defect,
And you would be firmly established and secure and not fear.
16
“For you would forget your trouble;
You would remember it as waters that have passed by.
17
“And your [c]life would be brighter than the noonday;
Darkness [then] would be like the morning.
18
“Then you would trust [with confidence], because there is hope;
You would look around you and rest securely.
19
“You would lie down with no one to frighten you,
And many would entreat and seek your favor.
20
“But the eyes of the wicked will fail,
And they will not escape [the justice of God];
And their hope is to breathe their last [and die].”
