1 Then Bildad the Shuhite made answer and said,
1 Y RESPONDIÓ Bildad Suhita, y dijo:
2 How long will it be before you have done talking? Get wisdom, and then we will say what is in our minds.
2 ¿Cuándo pondréis fin á las palabras? Entended, y después hablemos.
3 Why do we seem as beasts in your eyes, and as completely without knowledge?
3 ¿Por qué somos tenidos por bestias, y en vuestros ojos somos viles?
4 But come back, now, come: you who are wounding yourself in your passion, will the earth be given up because of you, or a rock be moved out of its place?
4 Oh tú, que despedazas tu alma con tu furor, ¿será dejada la tierra por tu causa, y serán traspasadas de su lugar las peñas?
5 For the light of the sinner is put out, and the flame of his fire is not shining.
5 Ciertamente la luz de los impíos será apagada, y no resplandecerá la centella de su fuego.
6 The light is dark in his tent, and the light shining over him is put out.
6 La luz se oscurecerá en su tienda, y apagaráse sobre él su lámpara.
7 The steps of his strength become short, and by his design destruction overtakes him.
7 Los pasos de su pujanza serán acortados, y precipitarálo su mismo consejo.
8 His feet take him into the net, and he goes walking into the cords.
8 Porque red será echada en sus pies, y sobre red andará.
9 His foot is taken in the net; he comes into its grip.
9 Lazo prenderá [su] calcañar: afirmaráse la trampa contra él.
10 The twisted cord is put secretly in the earth to take him, and the cord is placed in his way.
10 Su cuerda está escondida en la tierra, y su torzuelo sobre la senda.
11 He is overcome by fears on every side, they go after him at every step.
11 De todas partes lo asombrarán temores, y haránle huir desconcertado.
12 His strength is made feeble for need of food, and destruction is waiting for his falling footstep.
12 Su fuerza será hambrienta, y á su lado estará aparejado quebrantamiento.
13 His skin is wasted by disease, and his body is food for the worst of diseases.
13 El primogénito de la muerte comerá los ramos de su piel, y devorará sus miembros.
14 He is pulled out of his tent where he was safe, and he is taken away to the king of fears.
14 Su confianza será arrancada de su tienda, y harále esto llevar al rey de los espantos.
15 In his tent will be seen that which is not his, burning stone is dropped on his house.
15 En su tienda morará como si no fuese suya: piedra azufre será esparcida sobre su morada.
16 Under the earth his roots are dry, and over it his branch is cut off.
16 Abajo se secarán sus raíces, y arriba serán cortadas sus ramas.
17 His memory is gone from the earth, and in the open country there is no knowledge of his name.
17 Su memoria perecerá de la tierra, y no tendrá nombre por las calles.
18 He is sent away from the light into the dark; he is forced out of the world.
18 De la luz será lanzado á las tinieblas, y echado fuera del mundo.
19 He has no offspring or family among his people, and in his living-place there is no one of his name.
19 No tendrá hijo ni nieto en su pueblo, ni quien [le] suceda en sus moradas.
20 At his fate those of the west are shocked, and those of the east are overcome with fear.
20 Sobre su día se espantarán los por venir, como ocupó el pavor á los que fueron antes.
21 Truly, these are the houses of the sinner, and this is the place of him who has no knowledge of God.
21 Ciertamente tales son las moradas del impío, y este será el lugar del que no conoció á Dios.
