Job 31
Reina-Valera Antigua
31 HICE pacto con mis ojos: ¿Cómo pues había yo de pensar en virgen?
2 Porque ¿qué galardón me daría de arriba Dios, Y qué heredad el Omnipotente de las alturas?
3 ¿No hay quebrantamiento para el impío, Y extrañamiento para los que obran iniquidad?
4 ¿No ve él mis caminos, Y cuenta todos mis pasos?
5 Si anduve con mentira, Y si mi pie se apresuró á engaño,
6 Péseme Dios en balanzas de justicia, Y conocerá mi integridad.
7 Si mis pasos se apartaron del camino, Y si mi corazón se fué tras mis ojos, Y si algo se apegó á mis manos,
8 Siembre yo, y otro coma, Y mis verduras sean arrancadas.
9 Si fué mi corazón engañado acerca de mujer, Y si estuve acechando á la puerta de mi prójimo:
10 Muela para otro mi mujer, Y sobre ella otros se encorven.
11 Porque es maldad é iniquidad, Que han de castigar los jueces.
12 Porque es fuego que devoraría hasta el sepulcro, Y desarraigaría toda mi hacienda.
13 Si hubiera tenido en poco el derecho de mi siervo y de mi sierva, Cuando ellos pleitearan conmigo,
14 ¿Qué haría yo cuando Dios se levantase? Y cuando él visitara, ¿qué le respondería yo?
15 El que en el vientre me hizo á mí, ¿no lo hizo á él? ¿Y no nos dispuso uno mismo en la matriz?
16 Si estorbé el contento de los pobres, E hice desfallecer los ojos de la viuda;
17 Y si comí mi bocado solo, Y no comió de él el huerfano;
18 (Porque desde mi mocedad creció conmigo como con padre, Y desde el vientre de mi madre fuí guía de la viuda;)
19 Si he visto que pereciera alguno sin vestido, Y al menesteroso sin cobertura;
20 Si no me bendijeron sus lomos, Y del vellón de mis ovejas se calentaron;
21 Si alcé contra el huérfano mi mano, Aunque viese que me ayudarían en la puerta;
22 Mi espalda se caiga de mi hombro, Y mi brazo sea quebrado de mi canilla.
23 Porque temí el castigo de Dios, Contra cuya alteza yo no tendría poder.
24 Si puse en oro mi esperanza, Y dije al oro: Mi confianza eres tú;
25 Si me alegré de que mi hacienda se multiplicase, Y de que mi mano hallase mucho;
26 Si he mirado al sol cuando resplandecía, Y á la luna cuando iba hermosa,
27 Y mi corazón se engañó en secreto, Y mi boca besó mi mano:
28 Esto también fuera maldad juzgada; Porque habría negado al Dios soberano.
29 Si me alegré en el quebrantamiento del que me aborrecía, Y me regocijé cuando le halló el mal;
30 (Que ni aun entregué al pecado mi paladar, Pidiendo maldición para su alma;)
31 Cuando mis domésticos decían: Quién nos diese de su carne! nunca nos hartaríamos.
32 El extranjero no tenía fuera la noche; Mis puertas abría al caminante.
33 Si encubrí, como los hombres mis prevaricaciones, Escondiendo en mi seno mi iniquidad;
34 Porque quebrantaba á la gran multitud, Y el menosprecio de las familias me atemorizó, Y callé, y no salí de mi puerta:
35 Quién me diera quien me oyese! He aquí mi impresión es que el Omnipotente testificaría por mí, Aunque mi adversario me hiciera el proceso.
36 Ciertamente yo lo llevaría sobre mi hombro, Y me lo ataría en lugar de corona.
37 Yo le contaría el número de mis pasos, Y como príncipe me llegaría á él.
38 Si mi tierra clama contra mí, Y lloran todos sus surcos;
39 Si comí su sustancia sin dinero, O afligí el alma de sus dueños;
40 En lugar de trigo me nazcan abrojos, Y espinas en lugar de cebada.
Job 31
Traducción en lenguaje actual
Job 31
Traducción en lenguaje actual
31 »Yo siempre me propuse
no mirar con deseos
a ninguna jovencita.
2 ¿Y qué recibí del Dios del cielo?
3 ¡Tan sólo la ruina y el desastre
que merecen los malhechores!
4 ¡Tal parece que Dios no me ve
ni se fija en lo que hago!
5 »Yo nunca he hecho nada malo.
Nunca a nadie le he mentido.
6 ¡Que Dios me ponga a prueba,
y verá que soy inocente!
7 Nunca me aparté del buen camino,
ni me dejé llevar por mis deseos.
Si se encuentra en mis manos
alguna cosa robada,
8 ¡que otros disfruten mis cosechas,
y se queden con mis campos!
9 »Si acaso he esperado
que se vaya mi vecino
para estar a solas con su esposa,
10 ¡que mi esposa se convierta
en esclava y amante de otros!
11-12 Eso sería una vergüenza.
Sería un terrible castigo,
¡peor que si un incendio destructor
acabara con mis cosechas!
13 »Cuando mis esclavos
me hacían algún reclamo
siempre fui justo con ellos.
14 De otra manera,
¿cómo podría responder a Dios
si él me llamara a cuentas?
15 ¡Tanto a ellos como a mí
Dios nos hizo iguales!
16 »Jamás he dejado de atender
los ruegos de los pobres;
jamás he dejado que las viudas
se desmayen de hambre;
17 jamás he probado un bocado
sin compartirlo con los huérfanos.
18 Desde mi más temprana edad,
siempre he sido el apoyo
de huérfanos y viudas;
19 jamás he dejado que los pobres
mueran por falta de ropa.
20 Muchos me agradecieron
el abrigarlos con ropa de lana.
21 Nunca abusé de mi autoridad
para amenazar a los huérfanos.
22-23 ¡No quiero que Dios me castigue!
¡No podría resistir su poder!
Pero si acaso he actuado así,
¡que me quede yo sin brazos!
24 »Jamás he puesto mi confianza
en el poder de las riquezas;
25 jamás las muchas riquezas
me fueron motivo de orgullo.
26-27 El sol y la luna
son dos astros maravillosos,
pero jamás les he rendido culto,
ni en público ni en secreto.
28 Si hubiera cometido tal pecado,
Dios tendría que juzgarme
por haberlo traicionado.
29 »Jamás me he alegrado
de ver la desgracia de mi enemigo;
30 jamás he cometido el pecado
de pedir que le vaya mal;
31 jamás nadie visitó mi casa
sin calmar su hambre en mi mesa;
32 jamás un extraño tocó a mi puerta
sin ser invitado a pasar la noche;
33-34 a diferencia de otros,
jamás he guardado en secreto
ninguno de mis pecados,
y no por miedo a mis parientes
o por temor al qué dirán.
35 »Juro que digo la verdad.
¡Espero que el Dios todopoderoso
me escuche y me responda!
Si de algo puede acusarme,
que lo ponga por escrito.
36 Llevaré su acusación
en los hombros y en la frente.
37 Me presentaré ante Dios
con la frente en alto,
y le daré cuenta de mis actos.
38-39 »Jamás he abusado de mis tierras,
pues las he dejado descansar.
Jamás he explotado a mis trabajadores
pues les he pagado su justo salario.
40 Si lo que digo no es cierto,
¡que en vez de trigo y cebada
produzca mi tierra espinas!»
Así fue como Job dio por terminado su discurso.
Job 31
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Job 31
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
31 “Ipinangako ko sa aking sarili na hinding-hindi ako titingin nang may pagnanasa sa isang dalaga. 2 Sapagkat anong igaganti ng Makapangyarihang Dios na nasa langit sa mga ginagawa ng tao? 3 Hindi baʼt kapahamakan at kasawian para sa mga gumagawa ng kasamaan? 4 Alam ng Dios ang lahat ng aking ginagawa. 5 Kung nagsinungaling man ako at nandaya, 6 hahayaan kong hatulan ako ng Dios, dahil siya ang nakakaalam kung nagkasala nga ako. 7 Kung hindi ako sumunod sa tamang daan, o kung sinunod ko ang nais ng aking mata, at dinungisan ko ang aking sarili, 8 masira nawa ang aking mga pananim o di kayaʼy pakinabangan ng iba. 9 Kung naakit ako ng ibang babae o napaibig sa asawa ng aking kapwa, 10 kunin nawa at sipingan ng ibang lalaki ang asawa ko. 11 Sapagkat ang pangangalunya ay kasalanang nakakahiya, at dapat na parusahan ang taong ganyan ang ginagawa. 12 Iyan ay parang mapamuksang apoy na uubos sa lahat ng aking kabuhayan.
13 “Kung hindi ko pinahalagahan ang karapatan ng aking alipin nang dumaing sila sa akin, 14 anong gagawin ko kung hatulan ako ng Dios? Anong isasagot ko kung tanungin niya ako? 15 Hindi baʼt ang Dios na lumikha sa akin ang siya ring Dios na lumikha sa aking mga alipin?
16 “Kung hindi ako tumulong sa mga dukha at sa mga biyuda na nahihirapan, 17 at kung naging madamot ako sa mga ulila, parusahan nawa ako ng Dios. 18 Pero mula pa noong kabataan ko, tumutulong na ako sa mga ulila, at sa buong buhay ko hindi ko pinabayaan ang mga biyuda. 19 Kapag nakakita ako ng taong nahihirapan sa lamig dahil kapos siya sa damit, 20 binibigyan ko siya ng damit pangginaw na yari sa balahibo ng aking mga tupa. At buong puso siyang nagpapasalamat sa akin. 21 Kung pinagbuhatan ko ng kamay ang mga ulila, dahil alam kong malakas ako sa hukuman, 22 maputol sana ang mga braso ko. 23 Hindi ko magagawa ang mga bagay na iyan dahil natatakot ako sa parusa at kapangyarihan ng Dios.
24 “Hindi ako nagtiwala sa aking kayamanan o nag-isip man na magbibigay ito sa akin ng katiyakan. 25 Hindi ko ipinagyabang ang kayamanan ko at lahat ng aking ari-arian. 26 Hindi ako sumamba sa araw na nagbibigay ng liwanag o sa buwan na kumikinang. 27 Ang puso koʼy hindi nahikayat na sumamba sa mga ito. 28 Kung nagkasala ako sa paggawa ng mga ito, dapat akong parusahan dahil nagtaksil ako sa Dios na nasa langit.
29 “Hindi ko ikinatuwa ang kapahamakan ng aking kaaway o ang pagsapit sa kanila ng kahirapan. 30 Hindi ako nagkasala sa pamamagitan ng pagsumpa sa kanila. 31 Alam ng aking mga kasambahay na pinapakain ko ang lahat kahit na ang mga dayuhan. 32 Hindi ko pinabayaang matulog kahit saan ang mga dayuhan, dahil palaging bukas ang pintuan ng aking tahanan para sa kanila. 33 Hindi ko itinatago ang aking kasalanan katulad ng ginagawa ng iba. 34 Hindi ako tumahimik o nagtago dahil takot ako sa anumang sasabihin ng mga tao.
35 “Kung mayroon lang sanang makikinig ng panig ko, nakahanda akong lumagda para patunayan na wala akong kasalanan. Kung may reklamo ang Dios na Makapangyarihan laban sa akin, ipapakiusap ko sa kanyang sabihin niya ito sa akin o kayaʼy isulat na lang. 36 At ikakabit ko ito sa aking balikat o sa ulo ko na parang korona para ipakita sa lahat na nakahanda akong humarap sa mga usapin. 37 Sasabihin ko sa Dios ang lahat ng aking ginawa. Haharap ako sa kanya katulad ng pinuno na hindi nahihiya.
38 “Kung inaabuso ko ang aking lupain, o kinamkam ko ito sa iba,[a] 39 o kung pinasama ko ang loob ng mga manggagawa sa aking lupain dahil kinuha ko ang kanilang ani ng walang bayad, 40 tumubo nawa sa lupain ko ang mga matitinik na halaman at mga damo sa halip na trigo at sebada.”
Dito natapos ang mga sinabi ni Job.

Job 31
New International Version
Job 31
New International Version
31 “I made a covenant with my eyes(A)
not to look lustfully at a young woman.(B)
2 For what is our lot(C) from God above,
our heritage from the Almighty on high?(D)
3 Is it not ruin(E) for the wicked,
disaster(F) for those who do wrong?(G)
4 Does he not see my ways(H)
and count my every step?(I)
5 “If I have walked with falsehood
or my foot has hurried after deceit(J)—
6 let God weigh me(K) in honest scales(L)
and he will know that I am blameless(M)—
7 if my steps have turned from the path,(N)
if my heart has been led by my eyes,
or if my hands(O) have been defiled,(P)
8 then may others eat what I have sown,(Q)
and may my crops be uprooted.(R)
9 “If my heart has been enticed(S) by a woman,(T)
or if I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,
10 then may my wife grind(U) another man’s grain,
and may other men sleep with her.(V)
11 For that would have been wicked,(W)
a sin to be judged.(X)
12 It is a fire(Y) that burns to Destruction[a];(Z)
it would have uprooted my harvest.(AA)
13 “If I have denied justice to any of my servants,(AB)
whether male or female,
when they had a grievance against me,(AC)
14 what will I do when God confronts me?(AD)
What will I answer when called to account?(AE)
15 Did not he who made me in the womb make them?(AF)
Did not the same one form us both within our mothers?(AG)
16 “If I have denied the desires of the poor(AH)
or let the eyes of the widow(AI) grow weary,(AJ)
17 if I have kept my bread to myself,
not sharing it with the fatherless(AK)—
18 but from my youth I reared them as a father would,
and from my birth I guided the widow(AL)—
19 if I have seen anyone perishing for lack of clothing,(AM)
or the needy(AN) without garments,
20 and their hearts did not bless me(AO)
for warming them with the fleece(AP) from my sheep,
21 if I have raised my hand against the fatherless,(AQ)
knowing that I had influence in court,(AR)
22 then let my arm fall from the shoulder,
let it be broken off at the joint.(AS)
23 For I dreaded destruction from God,(AT)
and for fear of his splendor(AU) I could not do such things.(AV)
24 “If I have put my trust in gold(AW)
or said to pure gold, ‘You are my security,’(AX)
25 if I have rejoiced over my great wealth,(AY)
the fortune my hands had gained,(AZ)
26 if I have regarded the sun(BA) in its radiance
or the moon(BB) moving in splendor,
27 so that my heart was secretly enticed(BC)
and my hand offered them a kiss of homage,(BD)
28 then these also would be sins to be judged,(BE)
for I would have been unfaithful to God on high.(BF)
29 “If I have rejoiced at my enemy’s misfortune(BG)
or gloated over the trouble that came to him(BH)—
30 I have not allowed my mouth to sin
by invoking a curse against their life(BI)—
31 if those of my household have never said,
‘Who has not been filled with Job’s meat?’(BJ)—
32 but no stranger had to spend the night in the street,
for my door was always open to the traveler(BK)—
33 if I have concealed(BL) my sin as people do,[b]
by hiding(BM) my guilt in my heart
34 because I so feared the crowd(BN)
and so dreaded the contempt of the clans
that I kept silent(BO) and would not go outside—
35 (“Oh, that I had someone to hear me!(BP)
I sign now my defense—let the Almighty answer me;
let my accuser(BQ) put his indictment in writing.
36 Surely I would wear it on my shoulder,(BR)
I would put it on like a crown.(BS)
37 I would give him an account of my every step;(BT)
I would present it to him as to a ruler.(BU))—
38 “if my land cries out against me(BV)
and all its furrows are wet(BW) with tears,
39 if I have devoured its yield without payment(BX)
or broken the spirit of its tenants,(BY)
40 then let briers(BZ) come up instead of wheat
and stinkweed(CA) instead of barley.”
The words of Job are ended.(CB)
Job 31
King James Version
Job 31
King James Version
31 I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?
2 For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
3 Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?
4 Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
5 If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;
6 Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know mine integrity.
7 If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands;
8 Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.
9 If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;
10 Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
11 For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.
12 For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
13 If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;
14 What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
15 Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?
16 If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
17 Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;
18 (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)
19 If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;
20 If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
21 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:
22 Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.
23 For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.
24 If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;
25 If I rejoice because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;
26 If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;
27 And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:
28 This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.
29 If I rejoice at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:
30 Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.
31 If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.
32 The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller.
33 If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:
34 Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?
35 Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book.
36 Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me.
37 I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.
38 If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain;
39 If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:
40 Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.
