Job 8 Unlocked Literal Bible
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,
1 Y RESPONDIÓ Bildad Suhita, y dijo:
2 “How long will you say these things? How long will the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?
2 ¿Hasta cuándo hablarás tales cosas, y las palabras de tu boca serán [como] un viento fuerte?
3 Does God pervert justice? Does the Almighty pervert righteousness?
3 ¿Acaso pervertirá Dios el derecho, ó el Todopoderoso pervertirá la justicia?
4 Your children have sinned against him; we know this, for he gave them into the hand of their sins.
4 Si tus hijos pecaron contra él, él los echó en el lugar de su pecado.
5 But suppose you diligently sought God and presented your request to the Almighty.
5 Si tú de mañana buscares á Dios, y rogares al Todopoderoso;
6 If you are pure and upright, then he would surely stir himself on your behalf and restore you to your rightful place.
6 Si fueres limpio y derecho, cierto luego se despertará sobre ti, y hará próspera la morada de tu justicia.
7 Even though your beginning was small, still your final condition would be much greater.
7 Y tu principio habrá sido pequeño, y tu postrimería acrecerá en gran manera.
8 Please ask the former generations, and give your attention to what our ancestors learned.
8 Porque pregunta ahora á la edad pasada, y disponte para inquirir de sus padres de ellos;
9 (We were only born yesterday and know nothing because our days on earth are a shadow).
9 Pues nosotros somos de ayer, y no sabemos, siendo nuestros días sobre la tierra como sombra.
10 Will they not teach you and tell you? Will they not speak words from their hearts?
10 ¿No te enseñarán ellos, te dirán, y de su corazón sacarán palabras?
11 Can papyrus grow without a marsh? Can reeds grow without water?
11 ¿Crece el junco sin lodo? ¿crece el prado sin agua?
12 While they are still green and not cut down, they wither before any other plant.
12 Aun él en su verdor no será cortado, y antes de toda hierba se secará.
13 So also are the paths of all who forget God; the hope of the godless will perish.
13 Tales son los caminos de todos los que olvidan á Dios: y la esperanza del impío perecerá:
14 His confidence will break apart, and his trust is as weak as a spider's web.
14 Porque su esperanza será cortada, y su confianza es casa de araña.
15 He leans on his house, but it will not support him; he takes hold of it, but it does not stand.
15 Apoyaráse él sobre su casa, mas no permanecerá en pie; atendráse á ella, mas no se afirmará.
16 Under the sun he is green, and his shoots go out over his entire 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 heaps of stone; they look for good places among the rocks.
17 Vanse entretejiendo sus raíces junto á [una] fuente, y enlazándose hasta un lugar pedregoso.
18 But if this person is destroyed out of his place, then that place will deny him and say, 'I never saw you.'
18 Si le arrancaren de su lugar, éste negarále entonces, [diciendo]: Nunca te vi.
19 See, this is the “joy” of such a person's behavior; other plants will sprout out of the same soil in his place.
19 Ciertamente éste será el gozo de su camino; y de la tierra de donde se [traspusiere], nacerán otros.
20 See, God will not cast away an innocent man; neither will he take the hand of evildoers.
20 He aquí, Dios no aborrece al perfecto, ni toma la mano de los malignos.
21 He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, your lips with shouting.
21 Aun henchirá tu boca de risa, y tus labios de júbilo.
22 Those who hate you will be clothed with shame; the tent of the wicked will be no more.”
22 Los que te aborrecen, serán vestidos de confusión; y la habitación de los impíos perecerá.
