Notes on this text (1)
- Same Septuagint text as Brenton, with modernised spelling.
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered, and said,
1 Y RESPONDIÓ Bildad Suhita, y dijo:
2 How long wilt thou speak these things, [How long shall] the breath of thy mouth [be] abundant in words?
2 ¿Hasta cuándo hablarás tales cosas, y las palabras de tu boca serán [como] un viento fuerte?
3 Will the Lord be unjust when he judges; Or will he that has made all things pervert justice?
3 ¿Acaso pervertirá Dios el derecho, ó el Todopoderoso pervertirá la justicia?
4 If thy sons have sinned before him, He has cast them away because of their transgression.
4 Si tus hijos pecaron contra él, él los echó en el lugar de su pecado.
5 But be thou early in prayer to the Lord Almighty.
5 Si tú de mañana buscares á Dios, y rogares al Todopoderoso;
6 If thou art pure and true, he will hearken to thy supplication, And will restore to thee the habitation of righteousness.
6 Si fueres limpio y derecho, cierto luego se despertará sobre ti, y hará próspera la morada de tu justicia.
7 Though then thy beginning should be small, Yet thy end should be unspeakably great.
7 Y tu principio habrá sido pequeño, y tu postrimería acrecerá en gran manera.
8 For ask of the former generation, And search diligently among the race of [our] fathers
8 Porque pregunta ahora á la edad pasada, y disponte para inquirir de sus padres de ellos;
9 (For we are of yesterday, and know nothing; For our life upon the earth is a shadow):
9 Pues nosotros somos de ayer, y no sabemos, siendo nuestros días sobre la tierra como sombra.
10 Shall not these teach thee, and report [to thee], And bring out words from [their] heart?
10 ¿No te enseñarán ellos, te dirán, y de su corazón sacarán palabras?
11 Does the rush flourish without water, Or shall the flag grow up without moisture?
11 ¿Crece el junco sin lodo? ¿crece el prado sin agua?
12 When it is yet on the root, and [though] it has not been cut down, Does not any herb wither before it has received moisture?
12 Aun él en su verdor no será cortado, y antes de toda hierba se secará.
13 Thus then shall be the end of all that forget the Lord: For the hope of the ungodly shall perish.
13 Tales son los caminos de todos los que olvidan á Dios: y la esperanza del impío perecerá:
14 For his house shall be without inhabitants, And his tent shall prove a spider’s web.
14 Porque su esperanza será cortada, y su confianza es casa de araña.
15 If he should prop up his house, it shall not stand: And when he has taken hold of it, it shall not remain.
15 Apoyaráse él sobre su casa, mas no permanecerá en pie; atendráse á ella, mas no se afirmará.
16 For it is moist under the sun, And his branch shall come forth out of his dungheap.
16 [A manera de un árbol], está verde delante del sol, y sus renuevos salen sobre su huerto;
17 He lies down upon a gathering of stones, And shall live in the midst of flints.
17 Vanse entretejiendo sus raíces junto á [una] fuente, y enlazándose hasta un lugar pedregoso.
18 If [God] should destroy [him], his place shall deny him. Hast thou not seen such things,
18 Si le arrancaren de su lugar, éste negarále entonces, [diciendo]: Nunca te vi.
19 That such is the overthrow of the ungodly? And out of the earth another shall grow.
19 Ciertamente éste será el gozo de su camino; y de la tierra de donde se [traspusiere], nacerán otros.
20 For the Lord will by no means reject the harmless man; But he will not receive any gift of the ungodly.
20 He aquí, Dios no aborrece al perfecto, ni toma la mano de los malignos.
21 But he will fill with laughter the mouth of the sincere, And their lips with thanksgiving.
21 Aun henchirá tu boca de risa, y tus labios de júbilo.
22 But their adversaries shall clothe themselves with shame; And the habitation of the ungodly shall perish.
22 Los que te aborrecen, serán vestidos de confusión; y la habitación de los impíos perecerá.
