Job 23
Reina-Valera 1960
Job desea abogar su causa delante de Dios
23 Respondió Job, y dijo:
2 Hoy también hablaré con amargura;
Porque es más grave mi llaga que mi gemido.
3 ¡Quién me diera el saber dónde hallar a Dios!
Yo iría hasta su silla.
4 Expondría mi causa delante de él,
Y llenaría mi boca de argumentos.
5 Yo sabría lo que él me respondiese,
Y entendería lo que me dijera.
6 ¿Contendería conmigo con grandeza de fuerza?
No; antes él me atendería.
7 Allí el justo razonaría con él;
Y yo escaparía para siempre de mi juez.
8 He aquí yo iré al oriente, y no lo hallaré;
Y al occidente, y no lo percibiré;
9 Si muestra su poder al norte, yo no lo veré;
Al sur se esconderá, y no lo veré.
10 Mas él conoce mi camino;
Me probará, y saldré como oro.
11 Mis pies han seguido sus pisadas;
Guardé su camino, y no me aparté.
12 Del mandamiento de sus labios nunca me separé;
Guardé las palabras de su boca más que mi comida.
13 Pero si él determina una cosa, ¿quién lo hará cambiar?
Su alma deseó, e hizo.
14 Él, pues, acabará lo que ha determinado de mí;
Y muchas cosas como estas hay en él.
15 Por lo cual yo me espanto en su presencia;
Cuando lo considero, tiemblo a causa de él.
16 Dios ha enervado mi corazón,
Y me ha turbado el Omnipotente.
17 ¿Por qué no fui yo cortado delante de las tinieblas,
Ni fue cubierto con oscuridad mi rostro?

Nais ni Job na Iharap sa Diyos ang Kanyang Kalagayan
23 Ito naman ang sagot ni Job:
2 “Hanggang ngayon ay masama pa itong aking loob,
bagama't ako'y nananangis, pinaparusahan pa rin ng Diyos.
3 Kung alam ko lamang kung saan siya matatagpuan,
pupuntahan ko siya sa kanyang kinaroroonan.
4 Ihaharap ko sa kanya ang aking kalagayan
at ilalahad kong lahat ang aking katuwiran.
5 Gusto kong malaman ang isasagot niya sa akin;
nais kong maunawaan ang kanyang sasabihin.
6 Gagamitin kaya sa akin ang lahat niyang kapangyarihan?
Hindi! Sa halip, hinaing ko'y kanyang papakinggan.
7 Sapagkat ako'y taong matuwid na haharap sa kanya,
kanyang ipahahayag na ako'y walang sala.
8 “Sa dakong silangan, hindi ko siya natagpuan;
hindi ko rin siya nakita sa gawing kanluran.
9 Di ko rin siya nakita sa dakong hilaga,
at sa bandang timog, ni bakas ay wala.
10 Ngunit alam ng Diyos ang aking bawat hakbang;
kapag sinubok niya, lalabas ang kadalisayan.
11 Pagkat landas niya'y aking nilakaran,
hindi ako lumihis sa ibang daanan.
12 Ako'y hindi lumalabag sa kanyang kautusan,
at ang kanyang mga salita ay aking iniingatan.
13 “Hindi siya nagbabago at di kayang salungatin,
walang makakapigil sa nais niyang gawin.
14 Isasakatuparan niya ang plano niya sa akin,
ang marami niyang balak ay kanyang gagawin.
15 Kaya ako'y natatakot na sa kanya'y humarap;
isipin ko lamang ito, ako ay nasisindak.
16 Pinanghihina ng Diyos ang aking kalooban,
tinatakot ako ng Makapangyarihan.
17 Sapagkat kadiliman ang nasa aking palibot,
dilim nitong taglay sa mukha ko ay bumalot.

23 Then Job replied:
2 “Even today my complaint(A) is bitter;(B)
his hand[a] is heavy in spite of[b] my groaning.(C)
3 If only I knew where to find him;
if only I could go to his dwelling!(D)
4 I would state my case(E) before him
and fill my mouth with arguments.(F)
5 I would find out what he would answer me,(G)
and consider what he would say to me.
6 Would he vigorously oppose me?(H)
No, he would not press charges against me.(I)
7 There the upright(J) can establish their innocence before him,(K)
and there I would be delivered forever from my judge.(L)
8 “But if I go to the east, he is not there;
if I go to the west, I do not find him.
9 When he is at work in the north, I do not see him;
when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him.(M)
10 But he knows the way that I take;(N)
when he has tested me,(O) I will come forth as gold.(P)
11 My feet have closely followed his steps;(Q)
I have kept to his way without turning aside.(R)
12 I have not departed from the commands of his lips;(S)
I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.(T)
13 “But he stands alone, and who can oppose him?(U)
He does whatever he pleases.(V)
14 He carries out his decree against me,
and many such plans he still has in store.(W)
15 That is why I am terrified before him;(X)
when I think of all this, I fear him.(Y)
16 God has made my heart faint;(Z)
the Almighty(AA) has terrified me.(AB)
17 Yet I am not silenced by the darkness,(AC)
by the thick darkness that covers my face.

23 Then Job answered and said,
2 Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!
4 I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
5 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.
6 Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.
7 There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
8 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
11 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
13 But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
14 For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.
15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
16 For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.

Job Proclaims God’s Righteous Judgments
23 Then Job answered and said:
2 “Even today my (A)complaint is bitter;
[a]My hand is listless because of my groaning.
3 (B)Oh, that I knew where I might find Him,
That I might come to His seat!
4 I would present my case before Him,
And fill my mouth with arguments.
5 I would know the words which He would answer me,
And understand what He would say to me.
6 (C)Would He contend with me in His great power?
No! But He would take note of me.
7 There the upright could reason with Him,
And I would be delivered forever from my Judge.
8 “Look,(D) I go forward, but He is not there,
And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;
9 When He works on the left hand, I cannot behold Him;
When He turns to the right hand, I cannot see Him.
10 But (E)He knows the way that I take;
When (F)He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.
11 (G)My foot has held fast to His steps;
I have kept His way and not turned aside.
12 I have not departed from the (H)commandment of His lips;
(I)I have treasured the words of His mouth
More than my [b]necessary food.
13 “But He is unique, and who can make Him change?
And whatever (J)His soul desires, that He does.
14 For He performs what is (K)appointed for me,
And many such things are with Him.
15 Therefore I am terrified at His presence;
When I consider this, I am afraid of Him.
16 For God (L)made my heart weak,
And the Almighty terrifies me;
17 Because I was not (M)cut off [c]from the presence of darkness,
And He did not hide deep darkness from my face.
