1 Then Bildad the Shuhite spoke up and said,
1 Y RESPONDIÓ Bildad Suhita, y dijo:
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
2 “How long will you go on talking, hunting for the right words to say? Talk sense if you want us to reply!
2 ¿Cuándo pondréis fin á las palabras? Entended, y después hablemos.
2 “How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
3 Do you think we're dumb animals? Do we look stupid to you?
3 ¿Por qué somos tenidos por bestias, y en vuestros ojos somos viles?
3 Why are we counted as animals, which have become unclean in your sight?
4 You tear yourself apart with your anger. Do you think the earth has to be abandoned, or the mountains moved, just because of you?
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?
4 You who tear yourself in your anger, will the earth be forsaken for you? Or will the rock be removed out of its place?
5 It's certain that the life of the wicked will end like a lamp that is snuffed out—their flame will shine no more.
5 Ciertamente la luz de los impíos será apagada, y no resplandecerá la centella de su fuego.
5 “Yes, the light of the wicked will be put out. The spark of his fire won’t shine.
6 The light in their home goes out, the lamp hanging above is extinguished.
6 La luz se oscurecerá en su tienda, y apagaráse sobre él su lámpara.
6 The light will be dark in his tent. His lamp above him will be put out.
7 Instead of taking strong strides they stumble, and their own plans cause them to fall.
7 Los pasos de su pujanza serán acortados, y precipitarálo su mismo consejo.
7 The steps of his strength will be shortened. His own counsel will cast him down.
8 Their own feet trip them up and they are caught in a net; as they walk along they fall into a pit.
8 Porque red será echada en sus pies, y sobre red andará.
8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he wanders into its mesh.
9 A trap grabs them by the heel; a snare tightens around them.
9 Lazo prenderá [su] calcañar: afirmaráse la trampa contra él.
9 A snare will take him by the heel. A trap will catch him.
10 A noose is hidden on the ground for them; a rope is stretched across the path to trip them.
10 Su cuerda está escondida en la tierra, y su torzuelo sobre la senda.
10 A noose is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him on the path.
11 Terrors scare the wicked, coming at them from every side, chasing them, biting at their heels.
11 De todas partes lo asombrarán temores, y haránle huir desconcertado.
11 Terrors will make him afraid on every side, and will chase him at his heels.
12 Hunger robs them of strength; disaster waits for them when they fall.
12 Su fuerza será hambrienta, y á su lado estará aparejado quebrantamiento.
12 His strength will be famished. Calamity will be ready at his side.
13 Disease devours their skin; deadly disease consumes their limbs.
13 El primogénito de la muerte comerá los ramos de su piel, y devorará sus miembros.
13 The members of his body will be devoured. The firstborn of death will devour his members.
14 They are torn from the homes they trusted in and taken to the king of terrors.
14 Su confianza será arrancada de su tienda, y harále esto llevar al rey de los espantos.
14 He will be rooted out of the security of his tent. He will be brought to the king of terrors.
15 People they don't know will live in their homes; sulfur will be scattered where they used to live.
15 En su tienda morará como si no fuese suya: piedra azufre será esparcida sobre su morada.
15 There will dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Sulfur will be scattered on his habitation.
16 They wither away, roots below and branches above;
16 Abajo se secarán sus raíces, y arriba serán cortadas sus ramas.
16 His roots will be dried up beneath. His branch will be cut off above.
17 the memory of them fades from the earth; nobody remembers their names any more.
17 Su memoria perecerá de la tierra, y no tendrá nombre por las calles.
17 His memory will perish from the earth. He will have no name in the street.
18 They are thrown out of light into darkness, driven from the world.
18 De la luz será lanzado á las tinieblas, y echado fuera del mundo.
18 He will be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
19 They have no children or descendants among their people, and no survivors where they used to live.
19 No tendrá hijo ni nieto en su pueblo, ni quien [le] suceda en sus moradas.
19 He will have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining where he lived.
20 People of the west are appalled at what happens to them. People of the east are shocked.
20 Sobre su día se espantarán los por venir, como ocupó el pavor á los que fueron antes.
20 Those who come after will be astonished at his day, as those who went before were frightened.
21 This is what happens to the homes of the wicked, to the places of those who reject God.”
21 Ciertamente tales son las moradas del impío, y este será el lugar del que no conoció á Dios.
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous. This is the place of him who doesn’t know God.”
