Job 30
King James Version
Job 30
King James Version
30 But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.
2 Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?
3 For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.
4 Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.
5 They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;)
6 To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.
7 Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.
8 They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.
9 And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.
10 They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.
11 Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.
12 Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction.
13 They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.
14 They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me.
15 Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.
16 And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.
17 My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest.
18 By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.
19 He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.
20 I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not.
21 Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.
22 Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance.
23 For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.
24 Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction.
25 Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor?
26 When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.
27 My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.
28 I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation.
29 I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.
30 My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.
31 My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.
Job 30
Dios Habla Hoy
Job 30
Dios Habla Hoy
30 Pero ahora se ríen de mí
muchachos más jóvenes que yo,
cuyos padres no hubiera yo aceptado
para estar con los perros que cuidaban mis rebaños.
2 ¿De qué me hubiera servido la fuerza de sus brazos?
Ellos eran gente desgastada
3 por el hambre terrible y la necesidad.
De noche, en el desierto solitario,
tenían que roer raíces secas;
4 arrancaban hierbas amargas de los matorrales,
y hasta raíces de retama comían.
5 Eran gente rechazada por la sociedad,
perseguida a gritos como los ladrones;
6 tenían que vivir en cuevas,
en los barrancos y entre los peñascos;
7 aullaban en la maleza,
amontonados bajo los matorrales.
8 Gente inútil, hijos de nadie,
indignos de vivir en el país.
9 Pero ahora ellos se burlan
y hacen chistes a costa mía.
10 Con repugnancia se alejan de mí,
y hasta me escupen en la cara.
11 Ahora que estoy desarmado y humillado,
no me tienen ningún respeto.
12 A mi lado se presentan en montón,
me hacen caer, me atacan
y procuran darme muerte.
13 Me cierran el camino, para destruirme,
y nadie los detiene.
14 Como por un boquete abierto en la muralla,
se lanzan sobre mí con gran estruendo.
15 El terror cayó sobre mí;
mi dignidad huyó como el viento;
mi prosperidad, como una nube.
16 Ya no tengo ganas de vivir;
la aflicción se ha apoderado de mí.
17 El dolor me penetra hasta los huesos;
sin cesar me atormenta por las noches.
18 Dios me ha agarrado por el cuello,
y con fuerza me sacude la ropa.
19 Me ha arrojado en el lodo,
como si yo fuera polvo y ceniza.
20 Te pido ayuda, oh Dios, y no respondes,
te suplico y no me haces caso.
21 Te has vuelto cruel conmigo,
me persigues con rigor.
22 Haces que el viento me arrebate,
que la tempestad me sacuda.
23 Ya sé que tú quieres llevarme a la muerte,
al destino reservado a todo ser viviente.
24 ¿Acaso no he ayudado al pobre
y lo he salvado de su miseria?
25 ¿Acaso no he llorado por el que sufre,
ni tenido compasión del necesitado?
26 Yo esperaba la felicidad, y vino la desdicha;
aguardaba la luz, y llegó la oscuridad.
27 Mi corazón se agita sin descanso;
sólo me esperan días de aflicción.
28 Llevo una vida triste, sin luz de sol;
delante de todos pido ayuda.
29 Parezco hermano de los chacales,
amigo de los avestruces.
30 Mi piel se ha vuelto negra,
mi cuerpo arde a causa de la fiebre.
31 La música de las arpas y las flautas
se convirtió para mí en llanto de dolor.

30 Et maintenant!... je suis la risée de plus jeunes que moi, De ceux dont je dédaignais de mettre les pères Parmi les chiens de mon troupeau.
2 Mais à quoi me servirait la force de leurs mains? Ils sont incapables d'atteindre la vieillesse.
3 Desséchés par la misère et la faim, Ils fuient dans les lieux arides, Depuis longtemps abandonnés et déserts;
4 Ils arrachent près des arbrisseaux les herbes sauvages, Et ils n'ont pour pain que la racine des genêts.
5 On les chasse du milieu des hommes, On crie après eux comme après des voleurs.
6 Ils habitent dans d'affreuses vallées, Dans les cavernes de la terre et dans les rochers;
7 Ils hurlent parmi les buissons, Ils se rassemblent sous les ronces.
8 Etres vils et méprisés, On les repousse du pays.
9 Et maintenant, je suis l'objet de leurs chansons, Je suis en butte à leurs propos.
10 Ils ont horreur de moi, ils se détournent, Ils me crachent au visage.
11 Ils n'ont plus de retenue et ils m'humilient, Ils rejettent tout frein devant moi.
12 Ces misérables se lèvent à ma droite et me poussent les pieds, Ils se fraient contre moi des sentiers pour ma ruine;
13 Ils détruisent mon propre sentier et travaillent à ma perte, Eux à qui personne ne viendrait en aide;
14 Ils arrivent comme par une large brèche, Ils se précipitent sous les craquements.
15 Les terreurs m'assiègent; Ma gloire est emportée comme par le vent, Mon bonheur a passé comme un nuage.
16 Et maintenant, mon âme s'épanche en mon sein, Les jours de la souffrance m'ont saisi.
17 La nuit me perce et m'arrache les os, La douleur qui me ronge ne se donne aucun repos,
18 Par la violence du mal mon vêtement perd sa forme, Il se colle à mon corps comme ma tunique.
19 Dieu m'a jeté dans la boue, Et je ressemble à la poussière et à la cendre.
20 Je crie vers toi, et tu ne me réponds pas; Je me tiens debout, et tu me lances ton regard.
21 Tu deviens cruel contre moi, Tu me combats avec la force de ta main.
22 Tu mu soulèves, tu mu fais voler au-dessus du vent, Et tu m'anéantis au bruit de la tempête.
23 Car, je le sais, tu me mènes à la mort, Au rendez-vous de tous les vivants.
24 Mais celui qui va périr n'étend-il pas les mains? Celui qui est dans le malheur n'implore-t-il pas du secours?
25 N'avais-je pas des larmes pour l'infortuné? Mon coeur n'avait-il pas pitié de l'indigent?
26 J'attendais le bonheur, et le malheur est arrivé; J'espérais la lumière, et les ténèbres sont venues.
27 Mes entrailles bouillonnent sans relâche, Les jours de la calamité m'ont surpris.
28 Je marche noirci, mais non par le soleil; Je me lève en pleine assemblée, et je crie.
29 Je suis devenu le frère des chacals, Le compagnon des autruches.
30 Ma peau noircit et tombe, Mes os brûlent et se dessèchent.
31 Ma harpe n'est plus qu'un instrument de deuil, Et mon chalumeau ne peut rendre que des sons plaintifs.

Job 30
New International Version
30 “But now they mock me,(A)
men younger than I,
whose fathers I would have disdained
to put with my sheep dogs.(B)
2 Of what use was the strength of their hands to me,
since their vigor had gone from them?
3 Haggard from want and hunger,
they roamed[a] the parched land(C)
in desolate wastelands(D) at night.(E)
4 In the brush they gathered salt herbs,(F)
and their food[b] was the root of the broom bush.(G)
5 They were banished from human society,
shouted at as if they were thieves.
6 They were forced to live in the dry stream beds,
among the rocks and in holes in the ground.(H)
7 They brayed(I) among the bushes(J)
and huddled in the undergrowth.
8 A base and nameless brood,(K)
they were driven out of the land.(L)
9 “And now those young men mock me(M) in song;(N)
I have become a byword(O) among them.
10 They detest me(P) and keep their distance;
they do not hesitate to spit in my face.(Q)
11 Now that God has unstrung my bow(R) and afflicted me,(S)
they throw off restraint(T) in my presence.
12 On my right(U) the tribe[c] attacks;
they lay snares(V) for my feet,(W)
they build their siege ramps against me.(X)
13 They break up my road;(Y)
they succeed in destroying me.(Z)
‘No one can help him,’ they say.
14 They advance as through a gaping breach;(AA)
amid the ruins they come rolling in.
15 Terrors(AB) overwhelm me;(AC)
my dignity is driven away as by the wind,
my safety vanishes like a cloud.(AD)
16 “And now my life ebbs away;(AE)
days of suffering grip me.(AF)
17 Night pierces my bones;
my gnawing pains never rest.(AG)
18 In his great power(AH) God becomes like clothing to me[d];
he binds me like the neck of my garment.
19 He throws me into the mud,(AI)
and I am reduced to dust and ashes.(AJ)
20 “I cry out to you,(AK) God, but you do not answer;(AL)
I stand up, but you merely look at me.
21 You turn on me ruthlessly;(AM)
with the might of your hand(AN) you attack me.(AO)
22 You snatch me up and drive me before the wind;(AP)
you toss me about in the storm.(AQ)
23 I know you will bring me down to death,(AR)
to the place appointed for all the living.(AS)
24 “Surely no one lays a hand on a broken man(AT)
when he cries for help in his distress.(AU)
25 Have I not wept for those in trouble?(AV)
Has not my soul grieved for the poor?(AW)
26 Yet when I hoped for good, evil came;
when I looked for light, then came darkness.(AX)
27 The churning inside me never stops;(AY)
days of suffering confront me.(AZ)
28 I go about blackened,(BA) but not by the sun;
I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.(BB)
29 I have become a brother of jackals,(BC)
a companion of owls.(BD)
30 My skin grows black(BE) and peels;(BF)
my body burns with fever.(BG)
31 My lyre is tuned to mourning,(BH)
and my pipe(BI) to the sound of wailing.
