Notes on this text (1)
- Original 16th-century spelling.
1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and saide,
1 Y RESPONDIÓ Bildad Suhita, y dijo:
2 Howe long wilt thou talke of these things? and howe long shall the wordes of thy mouth be as a mightie winde?
2 ¿Hasta cuándo hablarás tales cosas, y las palabras de tu boca serán [como] un viento fuerte?
3 Doeth God peruert iudgement? or doeth the Almightie subuert iustice?
3 ¿Acaso pervertirá Dios el derecho, ó el Todopoderoso pervertirá la justicia?
4 If thy sonnes haue sinned against him, and he hath sent them into the place of their iniquitie,
4 Si tus hijos pecaron contra él, él los echó en el lugar de su pecado.
5 Yet if thou wilt early seeke vnto God, and pray to the Almightie,
5 Si tú de mañana buscares á Dios, y rogares al Todopoderoso;
6 If thou be pure and vpright, then surely hee will awake vp vnto thee, and he wil make the habitation of thy righteousnesse prosperous.
6 Si fueres limpio y derecho, cierto luego se despertará sobre ti, y hará próspera la morada de tu justicia.
7 And though thy beginning be small, yet thy latter ende shall greatly encrease.
7 Y tu principio habrá sido pequeño, y tu postrimería acrecerá en gran manera.
8 Inquire therefore, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thy selfe to search of their fathers.
8 Porque pregunta ahora á la edad pasada, y disponte para inquirir de sus padres de ellos;
9 (For we are but of yesterday, and are ignorant: for our dayes vpon earth are but a shadowe)
9 Pues nosotros somos de ayer, y no sabemos, siendo nuestros días sobre la tierra como sombra.
10 Shall not they teach thee and tell thee, and vtter the wordes of their heart?
10 ¿No te enseñarán ellos, te dirán, y de su corazón sacarán palabras?
11 Can a rush grow without myre? or can ye grasse growe without water?
11 ¿Crece el junco sin lodo? ¿crece el prado sin agua?
12 Though it were in greene and not cutte downe, yet shall it wither before any other herbe.
12 Aun él en su verdor no será cortado, y antes de toda hierba se secará.
13 So are the paths of al that forget God, and the hypocrites hope shall perish.
13 Tales son los caminos de todos los que olvidan á Dios: y la esperanza del impío perecerá:
14 His confidence also shalbe cut off, and his trust shalbe as the house of a spyder.
14 Porque su esperanza será cortada, y su confianza es casa de araña.
15 He shall leane vpon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall holde him fast by it, yet shall it not endure.
15 Apoyaráse él sobre su casa, mas no permanecerá en pie; atendráse á ella, mas no se afirmará.
16 The tree is greene before the sunne, and the branches spread ouer the garden thereof.
16 [A manera de un árbol], está verde delante del sol, y sus renuevos salen sobre su huerto;
17 The rootes thereof are wrapped about the fountaine, and are folden about ye house of stones.
17 Vanse entretejiendo sus raíces junto á [una] fuente, y enlazándose hasta un lugar pedregoso.
18 If any plucke it from his place, and it denie, saying, I haue not seene thee,
18 Si le arrancaren de su lugar, éste negarále entonces, [diciendo]: Nunca te vi.
19 Beholde, it will reioyce by this meanes, that it may growe in another molde.
19 Ciertamente éste será el gozo de su camino; y de la tierra de donde se [traspusiere], nacerán otros.
20 Behold, God will not cast away an vpright man, neither will he take the wicked by the hand,
20 He aquí, Dios no aborrece al perfecto, ni toma la mano de los malignos.
21 Till he haue filled thy mouth with laughter, and thy lippes with ioy.
21 Aun henchirá tu boca de risa, y tus labios de júbilo.
22 They that hate thee, shall be clothed with shame, and the dwelling of the wicked shall not remaine.
22 Los que te aborrecen, serán vestidos de confusión; y la habitación de los impíos perecerá.
