Job 36
New International Version
Job 36
New International Version
36 Elihu continued:
2 “Bear with me a little longer and I will show you
that there is more to be said in God’s behalf.
3 I get my knowledge from afar;(A)
I will ascribe justice to my Maker.(B)
4 Be assured that my words are not false;(C)
one who has perfect knowledge(D) is with you.(E)
5 “God is mighty,(F) but despises no one;(G)
he is mighty, and firm in his purpose.(H)
6 He does not keep the wicked alive(I)
but gives the afflicted their rights.(J)
7 He does not take his eyes off the righteous;(K)
he enthrones them with kings(L)
and exalts them forever.(M)
8 But if people are bound in chains,(N)
held fast by cords of affliction,(O)
9 he tells them what they have done—
that they have sinned arrogantly.(P)
10 He makes them listen(Q) to correction(R)
and commands them to repent of their evil.(S)
11 If they obey and serve him,(T)
they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity(U)
and their years in contentment.(V)
12 But if they do not listen,
they will perish by the sword[a](W)
and die without knowledge.(X)
13 “The godless in heart(Y) harbor resentment;(Z)
even when he fetters them, they do not cry for help.(AA)
14 They die in their youth,(AB)
among male prostitutes of the shrines.(AC)
15 But those who suffer(AD) he delivers in their suffering;(AE)
he speaks(AF) to them in their affliction.(AG)
16 “He is wooing(AH) you from the jaws of distress
to a spacious place(AI) free from restriction,(AJ)
to the comfort of your table(AK) laden with choice food.(AL)
17 But now you are laden with the judgment due the wicked;(AM)
judgment and justice have taken hold of you.(AN)
18 Be careful that no one entices you by riches;
do not let a large bribe(AO) turn you aside.(AP)
19 Would your wealth(AQ) or even all your mighty efforts
sustain you so you would not be in distress?
20 Do not long for the night,(AR)
to drag people away from their homes.[b]
21 Beware of turning to evil,(AS)
which you seem to prefer to affliction.(AT)
22 “God is exalted in his power.(AU)
Who is a teacher like him?(AV)
23 Who has prescribed his ways(AW) for him,(AX)
or said to him, ‘You have done wrong’?(AY)
24 Remember to extol his work,(AZ)
which people have praised in song.(BA)
25 All humanity has seen it;(BB)
mortals gaze on it from afar.
26 How great is God—beyond our understanding!(BC)
The number of his years is past finding out.(BD)
27 “He draws up the drops of water,(BE)
which distill as rain to the streams[c];(BF)
28 the clouds pour down their moisture
and abundant showers(BG) fall on mankind.(BH)
29 Who can understand how he spreads out the clouds,
how he thunders(BI) from his pavilion?(BJ)
30 See how he scatters his lightning(BK) about him,
bathing the depths of the sea.(BL)
31 This is the way he governs[d] the nations(BM)
and provides food(BN) in abundance.(BO)
32 He fills his hands with lightning
and commands it to strike its mark.(BP)
33 His thunder announces the coming storm;(BQ)
even the cattle make known its approach.[e](BR)

Sentido del dolor de Job
36 Elihú siguió diciendo:
2 Ten paciencia y te convenceré,
pues aún quedan razones en favor de Dios.
3 Espigaré mi saber en el pasado,
demostraré que mi Creador tiene razón.
4 Mis palabras no son vanas, desde luego;
ante ti tienes ciencia consumada.
5 Dios es poderoso y no vacila,
poderoso y de firmes decisiones.
6 No permite que viva el malvado,
sino que hace justicia al afligido;
7 no aparta sus ojos de los justos:
los pone junto a reyes, en sus tronos,
los entroniza y exalta para siempre.
8 Pero si Dios los carga de cadenas
y los ata con sogas de aflicción,
9 es para denunciar sus acciones,
sus delitos nacidos del orgullo;
10 hace que ellos escuchen su advertencia,
los conmina a dejar el pecado.
11 Si escuchan y saben ser dóciles,
su vida se colmará de prosperidad,
el bienestar acompañará su existencia;
12 si no escuchan, cruzarán el Canal;
morirán repletos de ignorancia.
13 La mente del impío almacena cólera,
cuando Dios lo encadena no pide socorro;
14 su vida se consume en plena juventud,
muere a la edad de los hieródulos.
15 Pero salva al afligido con la aflicción,
lo instruye mediante el sufrimiento.
16 Te arrancaría de las fauces de la angustia,
llevándote a un lugar sin agobios, espacioso,
a una mesa con platos sustanciosos.
17 Pero tu causa es propia de un culpable,
el pleito y el derecho te obsesionan.
18 No te dejes seducir por la riqueza,
ni un soborno sustancioso te corrompa:
19 de nada servirá ante la angustia
todo el poder de tus riquezas.
20 No suspires porque llegue esa noche
en que la gente desaparece de su sitio.
21 Cuidado con volver a la maldad,
que por ella probaste la aflicción.
Himno a la sabiduría y al poder divinos
22 ¡Qué sublime y poderoso es Dios!
¿Hay maestro que se le pueda comparar?
23 ¿Quién se atreverá a calificar su conducta
o podrá acusarlo de obrar mal?
24 Acuérdate de ensalzar sus obras,
pues todos las han alabado;
25 toda la humanidad las contempla,
los mortales las perciben de lejos.
26 Dios es sublime, incomprensible;
incalculable el número de sus años.
27 Atrae hacia sí las gotas de agua,
las filtra de su fuente como lluvia,
28 la lluvia que destilan las nubes,
que riega copiosa a los humanos.
29 ¿Quién conoce las dimensiones de su nube
o el fragor que retumba en su tienda?
30 El Altísimo despliega su relámpago,
que ilumina la profundidad del mar.
31 De este modo alimenta a los pueblos,
les regala sustento en abundancia.
32 Oculta el relámpago en sus manos,
lo dirige directo hacia el blanco.
33 El Altísimo habla con su trueno,
su cólera provoca la tormenta.
Job 36
Ang Biblia, 2001
Job 36
Ang Biblia, 2001
Ipinahayag ni Elihu ang Kadakilaan ng Diyos
36 Si Elihu ay nagpatuloy, at nagsabi,
2 “Pagtiisan mo ako nang kaunti at sa iyo'y aking ipapakita,
sapagkat alang-alang sa Diyos ako'y mayroong masasabi pa.
3 Dadalhin ko mula sa malayo ang aking kaalaman,
at bibigyan ko ng katuwiran ang sa akin ay Maylalang.
4 Sapagkat tunay na hindi kasinungalingan ang mga salita ko;
siyang sakdal sa kaalaman ay kasama mo.
5 “Tunay na ang Diyos ay makapangyarihan at hindi humahamak sa kanino man;
sa lakas ng unawa, siya'y makapangyarihan.
6 Ang masama ay hindi niya pinananatiling buháy,
ngunit sa napipighati ay ibinibigay niya ang kanilang karapatan.
7 Hindi niya inaalis ang kanyang mga mata sa matuwid;
kundi kasama ng mga hari sa trono,
kanyang itinatatag sila magpakailanman, at sila'y pinararangalan.
8 At kung sila'y matanikalaan,
at masilo ng mga tali ng kapighatian;
9 inilalahad nga niya sa kanila ang kanilang gawa
at ang kanilang mga pagsuway, na sila'y nag-uugaling may kayabangan.
10 Binubuksan niya ang kanilang pandinig sa aral,
at iniuutos na sila'y bumalik mula sa kasamaan.
11 Kung sila'y makinig at maglingkod sa kanya,
gugugulin nila ang kanilang mga araw sa kasaganaan,
at ang kanilang mga taon sa kasayahan.
12 Ngunit kung hindi sila makinig, sila'y mamamatay sa tabak,
at sila'y walang kaalamang mapapahamak.
13 “Ang masasama ang puso, galit ay kinukuyom,
kapag kanyang tinatalian sila, hindi sila humihingi ng tulong.
14 Sila'y namamatay sa kabataan,
at ang buhay nila'y natatapos sa piling ng mahalay na lalaki.
15 Inililigtas niya ang mga dukha sa kanilang kahirapan,
at binubuksan ang kanilang mga pandinig sa kasawian.
16 Inakit ka rin niya mula sa kabalisahan,
patungo sa maluwag na dako na walang pilitan;
at ang nakahain sa iyong hapag ay punô ng katabaan.
17 “Ngunit ikaw ay puspos ng paghatol sa masamang tao;
kahatulan at katarungan ang humahawak sa iyo.
18 Mag-ingat ka baka ikaw ay akitin ng poot upang mangutya,
huwag hayaang sa kalakhan ng pantubos ikaw ay mawala.
19 Mananaig ba ang iyong sigaw upang malayo ka sa kaguluhan,
o ang lahat ng puwersa ng iyong kalakasan?
20 Ang gabi ay huwag mong pakaasahan,
kung kailan ang mga bayan ay inaalis sa kanilang kinalalagyan.
21 Mag-ingat ka, huwag kang bumaling sa kasamaan;
sapagkat ito ang iyong pinili sa halip na kahirapan.
22 Tingnan mo, ang Diyos ay itinataas sa kapangyarihan niya;
sinong tagapagturo ang gaya niya?
23 Sinong nag-utos sa kanya ng kanyang daan?
O sinong makapagsasabi, ‘Ikaw ay gumawa ng kamalian?’
24 “Alalahanin mong dakilain ang kanyang gawa,
na inawit ng mga tao.
25 Napagmasdan iyon ng lahat ng mga tao;
natatanaw ito ng tao mula sa malayo.
26 Narito, ang Diyos ay dakila, at hindi natin siya kilala,
hindi masukat ang bilang ng mga taon niya.
27 Sapagkat ang mga patak ng tubig ay kanyang pinapailanglang,
kanyang dinadalisay ang kanyang ambon sa ulan,
28 na ibinubuhos ng kalangitan,
at ipinapatak ng sagana sa sangkatauhan.
29 May makakaunawa ba ng pagkalat ng mga ulap,
ng mga pagkulog sa kanyang tolda?
30 Narito, ang kanyang kidlat sa palibot niya'y kanyang ikinakalat,
at tinatakpan niya ang mga ugat ng dagat.
31 Sapagkat sa pamamagitan ng mga ito'y hinahatulan niya ang mga bayan;
saganang pagkain ay kanyang ibinibigay.
32 Tinatakpan niya ng kidlat ang kanyang mga kamay;
at inuutusan ito na ang tanda'y patamaan.
33 Ang pagsiklab niyon tungkol sa kanya'y nagsasaysay,
na naninibughong may galit laban sa kasamaan.

Elihu Proclaims God’s Goodness
36 Elihu also proceeded and said:
2 “Bear with me a little, and I will show you
That there are yet words to speak on God’s behalf.
3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar;
I will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
4 For truly my words are not false;
One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.
5 “Behold, God is mighty, but despises no one;
(A)He is mighty in strength [a]of understanding.
6 He does not preserve the life of the wicked,
But gives justice to the (B)oppressed.
7 (C)He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous;
But (D)they are on the throne with kings,
For He has seated them forever,
And they are exalted.
8 And (E)if they are bound in [b]fetters,
Held in the cords of affliction,
9 Then He tells them their work and their transgressions—
That they have acted [c]defiantly.
10 (F)He also opens their ear to [d]instruction,
And commands that they turn from iniquity.
11 If they obey and serve Him,
They shall (G)spend their days in prosperity,
And their years in pleasures.
12 But if they do not obey,
They shall perish by the sword,
And they shall die [e]without (H)knowledge.
13 “But the hypocrites in heart (I)store up wrath;
They do not cry for help when He binds them.
14 (J)They[f] die in youth,
And their life ends among the [g]perverted persons.
15 He delivers the poor in their affliction,
And opens their ears in oppression.
16 “Indeed He would have brought you out of dire distress,
(K)Into a broad place where there is no restraint;
And (L)what is set on your table would be full of (M)richness.
17 But you are filled with the judgment due the (N)wicked;
Judgment and justice take hold of you.
18 Because there is wrath, beware lest He take you away with one blow;
For (O)a large ransom would not help you avoid it.
19 (P)Will your riches,
Or all the mighty forces,
Keep you from distress?
20 Do not desire the night,
When people are cut off in their place.
21 Take heed, (Q)do not turn to iniquity,
For (R)you have chosen this rather than affliction.
22 “Behold, God is exalted by His power;
Who teaches like Him?
23 (S)Who has assigned Him His way,
Or who has said, ‘You have done (T)wrong’?
Elihu Proclaims God’s Majesty
24 “Remember to (U)magnify His work,
Of which men have sung.
25 Everyone has seen it;
Man looks on it from afar.
26 “Behold, God is great, and we (V)do not know Him;
(W)Nor can the number of His years be discovered.
27 For He (X)draws up drops of water,
Which distill as rain from the mist,
28 (Y)Which the clouds drop down
And pour abundantly on man.
29 Indeed, can anyone understand the spreading of clouds,
The thunder from His canopy?
30 Look, He (Z)scatters His light upon it,
And covers the depths of the sea.
31 For (AA)by these He judges the peoples;
He (AB)gives food in abundance.
32 (AC)He covers His hands with lightning,
And commands it to [h]strike.
33 (AD)His thunder declares it,
The cattle also, concerning [i]the rising storm.

Job 36
King James Version
36 Elihu also proceeded, and said,
2 Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf.
3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
4 For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.
5 Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.
6 He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor.
7 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.
8 And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;
9 Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.
10 He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.
11 If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
13 But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.
14 They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
15 He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.
16 Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness.
17 But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.
18 Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.
19 Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.
20 Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.
21 Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
22 Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
23 Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?
24 Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.
25 Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.
26 Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
27 For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:
28 Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.
29 Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?
30 Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.
31 For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance.
32 With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.
33 The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.
