Job 5
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
5 »Llama ahora, ¿habrá quién te responda?
¿Y a cuál de los santos(A) te volverás?
2 -»Porque el enojo mata al insensato,
Y la ira da muerte al necio(B).
3 -»Yo he visto al insensato echar raíces(C),
Y al instante maldije su morada(D).
4 -»Sus hijos no tienen seguridad alguna(E),
Aun en la puerta[a] son oprimidos[b],
Y no hay quien los libre.
5 -»Su[c] cosecha la devoran los hambrientos,
La toman aun de entre los espinos,
Y el intrigante[d](F) ansía su riqueza.
6 -»Porque la aflicción(G) no viene del polvo,
Ni brota el infortunio de la tierra;
7 Pues el hombre nace para la aflicción(H),
Como las chispas vuelan hacia arriba.
8 ¶»Pero en cuanto a mí, yo buscaría a Dios,
Y delante de Dios presentaría mi causa(I);
9 Él hace cosas grandes e inescrutables,
Maravillas[e] sin número(J).
10 -ȃl da la lluvia sobre la superficie de la tierra,
Y envía las aguas sobre[f] los campos(K).
11 -»Para poner en alto a los humildes,
Y levantar a los que lloran a lugar seguro(L).
12 -ȃl frustra las tramas de los astutos(M),
Para que sus manos no tengan éxito.
13 -ȃl prende a los sabios en su propia astucia(N),
Y el consejo de los sagaces pronto lo frustra.
14 -»De día tropiezan con las tinieblas,
Y a mediodía andan a tientas como de noche(O).
15 -»Pero Él salva al pobre de la espada en sus bocas(P),
Y de la mano del poderoso(Q).
16 -»El desamparado, pues, tiene esperanza,
Y la injusticia tiene que cerrar su boca(R).
17 ¶»Cuán bienaventurado es el hombre a quien Dios reprende(S);
No desprecies, pues, la disciplina del Todopoderoso[g](T).
18 -»Porque Él inflige dolor, pero da alivio[h];
Él hiere, pero Sus manos también sanan(U).
19 -»De[i] seis aflicciones te librará(V),
Y en la séptima no te tocará el mal(W).
20 -»En el hambre, Él te salvará de la muerte(X),
Y en la guerra, del poder de la espada(Y).
21 -»Estarás a cubierto del azote de la lengua(Z),
Y no temerás la violencia cuando venga(AA).
22 -»De la violencia y del hambre te reirás(AB),
Y no temerás a las fieras de la tierra(AC).
23 -»Pues con las piedras del campo harás tu alianza,
Y las fieras del campo estarán en paz contigo(AD).
24 -»Y sabrás que tu tienda está segura[j],
Porque visitarás tu morada y no temerás pérdida alguna(AE).
25 -»También sabrás que tu descendencia[k] será numerosa(AF),
Y tus vástagos como la hierba de la tierra(AG).
26 -»En pleno vigor llegarás al sepulcro(AH),
Como se recogen las gavillas a su tiempo.
27 -»Esto lo hemos examinado, y así es;
Óyelo, y conócelo para tu bien[l]».
Job 5
New American Standard Bible
God Is Just
5 “Call now, is there anyone who will answer you?
And to which of the (A)holy ones will you turn?
2 For (B)irritation kills the fool,
And jealousy brings death to the simple.
3 I have seen the (C)fool taking root,
And I (D)cursed his home immediately.
4 His (E)sons are far from safety,
They are also [a]oppressed at the gate,
And there is no one to save them.
5 [b]The hungry devour his harvest
And take it to a place of thorns,
And the [c](F)schemer is eager for their wealth.
6 For (G)disaster does not come from the dust,
Nor does trouble sprout from the ground,
7 For (H)man is born for trouble,
As sparks fly upward.
8 “But as for me, I would (I)seek God,
And I would make my plea before God,
9 Who (J)does great and unsearchable things,
[d]Wonders without number.
10 He (K)gives rain on the earth,
And sends water on the fields,
11 So that (L)He sets on high those who are lowly,
And those who mourn are lifted to safety.
12 He (M)frustrates the schemes of the shrewd,
So that their hands cannot attain success.
13 He (N)captures the wise by their own cleverness,
And the advice of the cunning is quickly thwarted.
14 By day they (O)meet with darkness,
And grope at noon as in the night.
15 But He saves from (P)the sword of their mouth,
And (Q)the poor from the hand of the strong.
16 So the helpless has hope,
And (R)injustice has shut its mouth.
17 “Behold, (S)happy is the person whom God disciplines,
So do not reject the (T)discipline of [e]the Almighty.
18 For (U)He inflicts pain, and [f]gives relief;
He wounds, but His hands also heal.
19 In six troubles (V)He will save you;
Even in seven, (W)evil will not touch you.
20 In (X)famine He will redeem you from death,
And (Y)in war, from the power of the sword.
21 You will be (Z)hidden [g]from the scourge of the tongue,
(AA)And you will not be afraid of violence when it comes.
22 You will (AB)laugh at violence and hunger,
(AC)And you will not be afraid of [h]wild animals.
23 For you will be in league with the stones of the field,
And (AD)the animals of the field will be at peace with you.
24 You will know that your (AE)tent is secure,
For you will visit your home and [i]have nothing missing.
25 You will also know that your [j](AF)descendants will be many,
And (AG)your offspring as the grass of the earth.
26 You will (AH)come to the grave at a ripe age,
Like the stacking of grain in its season.
27 Behold this; we have investigated it, and so it is.
Hear it, and know for yourself.”
Job 5
New International Version
5 “Call if you will, but who will answer you?(A)
To which of the holy ones(B) will you turn?
2 Resentment(C) kills a fool,
and envy slays the simple.(D)
3 I myself have seen(E) a fool taking root,(F)
but suddenly(G) his house was cursed.(H)
4 His children(I) are far from safety,(J)
crushed in court(K) without a defender.(L)
5 The hungry consume his harvest,(M)
taking it even from among thorns,
and the thirsty pant after his wealth.
6 For hardship does not spring from the soil,
nor does trouble sprout from the ground.(N)
7 Yet man is born to trouble(O)
as surely as sparks fly upward.
8 “But if I were you, I would appeal to God;
I would lay my cause before him.(P)
9 He performs wonders(Q) that cannot be fathomed,(R)
miracles that cannot be counted.(S)
10 He provides rain for the earth;(T)
he sends water on the countryside.(U)
11 The lowly he sets on high,(V)
and those who mourn(W) are lifted(X) to safety.
12 He thwarts the plans(Y) of the crafty,
so that their hands achieve no success.(Z)
13 He catches the wise(AA) in their craftiness,(AB)
and the schemes of the wily are swept away.(AC)
14 Darkness(AD) comes upon them in the daytime;
at noon they grope as in the night.(AE)
15 He saves the needy(AF) from the sword in their mouth;
he saves them from the clutches of the powerful.(AG)
16 So the poor(AH) have hope,
and injustice shuts its mouth.(AI)
17 “Blessed is the one whom God corrects;(AJ)
so do not despise the discipline(AK) of the Almighty.[a](AL)
18 For he wounds, but he also binds up;(AM)
he injures, but his hands also heal.(AN)
19 From six calamities he will rescue(AO) you;
in seven no harm will touch you.(AP)
20 In famine(AQ) he will deliver you from death,
and in battle from the stroke of the sword.(AR)
21 You will be protected from the lash of the tongue,(AS)
and need not fear(AT) when destruction comes.(AU)
22 You will laugh(AV) at destruction and famine,(AW)
and need not fear the wild animals.(AX)
23 For you will have a covenant(AY) with the stones(AZ) of the field,
and the wild animals will be at peace with you.(BA)
24 You will know that your tent is secure;(BB)
you will take stock of your property and find nothing missing.(BC)
25 You will know that your children will be many,(BD)
and your descendants like the grass of the earth.(BE)
26 You will come to the grave in full vigor,(BF)
like sheaves gathered in season.(BG)
