Segundo discurso de Zofar
20 A esto respondió Zofar de Namat:
2 «Mis turbados pensamientos me hacen replicar,
pues me hallo muy desconcertado.
3 He escuchado una reprensión que me deshonra
y mi inteligencia me obliga a responder.
4 »Bien sabes tú que desde antaño,
desde que Dios puso al ser humano[a] en la tierra,
5 muy breve ha sido la algarabía del malvado
y la alegría del impío ha sido pasajera.
6 Aunque su orgullo llegue hasta los cielos
y alcance a tocar con la cabeza las nubes,
7 él perecerá para siempre, como su excremento,
y sus allegados dirán: “¿Qué se hizo?”.
8 Como un sueño, como una visión nocturna,
se desvanecerá y no volverá a ser hallado.
9 Los ojos que lo vieron no volverán a verlo;
su lugar no volverá a contemplarlo.
10 Sus hijos tendrán que indemnizar a los pobres;
ellos mismos restituirán las riquezas de su padre.
11 El vigor juvenil que hoy sostiene sus huesos
un día reposará en el polvo con él.
12 »Aunque en su boca el mal sabe dulce
y lo disimula bajo la lengua,
13 y aunque no lo suelta para nada,
sino que tenazmente lo retiene,
14 ese pan se le agriará en el estómago;
dentro de él se volverá veneno de áspid.
15 Vomitará las riquezas que se engulló;
Dios hará que las arroje de su vientre.
16 Chupará veneno de serpientes;
la lengua de un áspid lo matará.
17 No disfrutará de los arroyos,
de los ríos de crema y miel;
18 no se engullirá las ganancias de sus negocios;
no disfrutará de sus riquezas,
19 porque oprimió al pobre y lo dejó sin nada,
y se adueñó de casas que nunca construyó.
20 »Su ambición nunca quedó satisfecha;
no se salvará con su tesoro.
21 Nada se libró de su voracidad;
por eso no perdurará su bienestar.
22 En medio de la abundancia, lo abrumará la angustia;
le sobrevendrá toda la fuerza de la desgracia.
23 Cuando el malvado se haya llenado el vientre,
Dios dará rienda suelta a su enojo contra él
y descargará sobre él sus golpes.
24 Aunque huya de las armas de hierro,
una flecha de bronce lo atravesará.
25 Cuando del hígado y de la espalda
intente sacarse la punta de la flecha,
se verá sobrecogido de espanto,
26 y la oscuridad total acechará sus tesoros.
Un fuego no atizado acabará con él
y con todo lo que haya quedado de su casa.
27 Los cielos harán pública su culpa;
la tierra se levantará a denunciarlo.
28 En el día de la ira de Dios,
un aluvión arrasará con su casa.
29 Tal es el fin que Dios reserva al malvado;
tal es la herencia que le asignó».

Zophar
20 Then Zophar the Naamathite(A) replied:
2 “My troubled thoughts prompt me to answer
because I am greatly disturbed.(B)
3 I hear a rebuke(C) that dishonors me,
and my understanding inspires me to reply.
4 “Surely you know how it has been from of old,(D)
ever since mankind[a] was placed on the earth,
5 that the mirth of the wicked(E) is brief,
the joy of the godless(F) lasts but a moment.(G)
6 Though the pride(H) of the godless person reaches to the heavens(I)
and his head touches the clouds,(J)
7 he will perish forever,(K) like his own dung;
those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’(L)
8 Like a dream(M) he flies away,(N) no more to be found,
banished(O) like a vision of the night.(P)
9 The eye that saw him will not see him again;
his place will look on him no more.(Q)
10 His children(R) must make amends to the poor;
his own hands must give back his wealth.(S)
11 The youthful vigor(T) that fills his bones(U)
will lie with him in the dust.(V)
12 “Though evil(W) is sweet in his mouth
and he hides it under his tongue,(X)
13 though he cannot bear to let it go
and lets it linger in his mouth,(Y)
14 yet his food will turn sour in his stomach;(Z)
it will become the venom of serpents(AA) within him.
15 He will spit out the riches(AB) he swallowed;
God will make his stomach vomit(AC) them up.
16 He will suck the poison(AD) of serpents;
the fangs of an adder will kill him.(AE)
17 He will not enjoy the streams,
the rivers(AF) flowing with honey(AG) and cream.(AH)
18 What he toiled for he must give back uneaten;(AI)
he will not enjoy the profit from his trading.(AJ)
19 For he has oppressed the poor(AK) and left them destitute;(AL)
he has seized houses(AM) he did not build.
20 “Surely he will have no respite from his craving;(AN)
he cannot save himself by his treasure.(AO)
21 Nothing is left for him to devour;
his prosperity will not endure.(AP)
22 In the midst of his plenty, distress will overtake him;(AQ)
the full force of misery will come upon him.(AR)
23 When he has filled his belly,(AS)
God will vent his burning anger(AT) against him
and rain down his blows on him.(AU)
24 Though he flees(AV) from an iron weapon,
a bronze-tipped arrow pierces him.(AW)
25 He pulls it out of his back,
the gleaming point out of his liver.
Terrors(AX) will come over him;(AY)
26 total darkness(AZ) lies in wait for his treasures.
A fire(BA) unfanned will consume him(BB)
and devour what is left in his tent.(BC)
27 The heavens will expose his guilt;
the earth will rise up against him.(BD)
28 A flood will carry off his house,(BE)
rushing waters[b] on the day of God’s wrath.(BF)
29 Such is the fate God allots the wicked,
the heritage appointed for them by God.”(BG)

20 拿玛人琐法回答说：
2 “这样，我的思念叫我回答，
因为我心中急躁。
3 我听见那羞辱我的责备；
我悟性的灵回答我。
4 你岂不知道吗？亘古以来，
自从人被安置在地，
5 恶人欢乐的声音是暂时的，
不敬虔人的喜乐不过是转眼之间。
6 他的尊荣虽达到天上，
头虽顶到云中，
7 他必永远灭亡，像自己的粪一样。
看见他的人要说：‘他在哪里呢？’
8 他必如梦飞去，不再寻见；
他被赶走，如夜间的异象。
9 亲眼见过他的，必不再见他；
他自己的地方也不再见到他。
10 他的儿女要向穷人求恩；
他的手要赔还钱财。
11 他的骨头虽然满有年轻的活力，
却要和他一同躺卧在尘土之中。
12 “他口中以恶为甘甜，
把恶藏在舌头底下，
13 爱恋不舍，
含在口中。
14 他的食物在肚里却要翻转，
在他里面成为虺蛇的毒液。
15 他吞了财宝，还要吐出；
神要从他腹中掏出来。
16 他必吸饮虺蛇的毒汁，
毒蛇的舌头必杀他。
17 他不再看见溪流，
流奶与蜜之河。
18 他劳碌得来的要赔还，不得吞下；
赚取了财货，也不得欢乐。
19 他欺压穷人，弃之不顾，
强取非自己所盖的房屋[a]。
20 “他的肚腹不知安逸，
所贪恋的连一样也不放过，
21 剩余的没有一样他不吞吃，
所以他的福乐不能长久。
22 他在满足有余的时候，必有困苦临到；
凡受苦楚之人的手必加在他身上。
23 他的肚腹正要满足的时候，
神必将猛烈的愤怒降在他身上；
他正在吃饭的时候，
神要将这愤怒如雨降在他身上。
24 他要躲避铁的武器，
铜弓要将他射透。
25 箭一抽，就从他背上出来，
发亮的箭头从他胆中出来；
有惊惶临到他身上。
26 他的财宝隐藏在深沉的黑暗里；
有非人吹起的火要把他吞灭，
把他帐棚中所剩下的烧毁。
27 天要显明他的罪孽，
地要兴起去攻击他。
28 他家里出产的必消失，
在 神愤怒的日子被冲走。
29 这是恶人从 神所得的份，
是 神为他所定的产业。”

Job 20
King James Version
Job 20
King James Version
20 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
2 Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste.
3 I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.
4 Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,
5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
6 Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;
7 Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?
8 He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
9 The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
10 His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.
11 His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.
12 Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;
13 Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:
14 Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.
15 He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
16 He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him.
17 He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.
18 That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.
19 Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;
20 Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.
21 There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.
22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.
23 When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.
24 He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.
25 It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.
26 All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.
27 The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.
28 The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
29 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.
