1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
1 Y RESPONDIÓ Bildad Suhita, y dijo:
2 How long wilt thou speak these [things]? and [how long shall] the words of thy mouth [be like] a strong wind?
2 ¿Hasta cuándo hablarás tales cosas, y las palabras de tu boca serán [como] un viento fuerte?
3 Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?
3 ¿Acaso pervertirá Dios el derecho, ó el Todopoderoso pervertirá la justicia?
4 If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression;
4 Si tus hijos pecaron contra él, él los echó en el lugar de su pecado.
5 If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
5 Si tú de mañana buscares á Dios, y rogares al Todopoderoso;
6 If thou [wert] pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
6 Si fueres limpio y derecho, cierto luego se despertará sobre ti, y hará próspera la morada de tu justicia.
7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.
7 Y tu principio habrá sido pequeño, y tu postrimería acrecerá en gran manera.
8 For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the 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 know nothing, because our days upon earth [are] a shadow:)
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 utter words out of their heart?
10 ¿No te enseñarán ellos, te dirán, y de su corazón sacarán palabras?
11 Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?
11 ¿Crece el junco sin lodo? ¿crece el prado sin agua?
12 Whilst it [is] yet in his greenness, [and] not cut down, it withereth before any [other] herb.
12 Aun él en su verdor no será cortado, y antes de toda hierba se secará.
13 So [are] the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite’s hope shall perish:
13 Tales son los caminos de todos los que olvidan á Dios: y la esperanza del impío perecerá:
14 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust [shall be] a spider’s web.
14 Porque su esperanza será cortada, y su confianza es casa de araña.
15 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
15 Apoyaráse él sobre su casa, mas no permanecerá en pie; atendráse á ella, mas no se afirmará.
16 He [is] green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.
16 [A manera de un árbol], está verde delante del sol, y sus renuevos salen sobre su huerto;
17 His roots are wrapped about the heap, [and] seeth the place of stones.
17 Vanse entretejiendo sus raíces junto á [una] fuente, y enlazándose hasta un lugar pedregoso.
18 If he destroy him from his place, then [it] shall deny him, [saying], I have not seen thee.
18 Si le arrancaren de su lugar, éste negarále entonces, [diciendo]: Nunca te vi.
19 Behold, this [is] the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.
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 a perfect [man], neither will he help the evil doers:
20 He aquí, Dios no aborrece al perfecto, ni toma la mano de los malignos.
21 Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.
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 place of the wicked shall come to nought.
22 Los que te aborrecen, serán vestidos de confusión; y la habitación de los impíos perecerá.
