1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
1 Y RESPONDIÓ Bildad Suhita, y dijo:
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
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?
2 “How long will you speak these things? Shall the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?
3 Doth God pervert judgment; or doth the Almighty pervert justice?
3 ¿Acaso pervertirá Dios el derecho, ó el Todopoderoso pervertirá la justicia?
3 Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?
4 If thy children have sinned against him, and he hath cast them away for their transgression;
4 Si tus hijos pecaron contra él, él los echó en el lugar de su pecado.
4 If your children have sinned against him, he has delivered them into the hand of their disobedience.
5 If thou wouldst seek to God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
5 Si tú de mañana buscares á Dios, y rogares al Todopoderoso;
5 If you want to seek God diligently, make your supplication to the Almighty.
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.
6 If you were pure and upright, surely now he would awaken for you, and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous.

8 For inquire, 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;
8 “Please inquire of past generations. Find out about the learning of their fathers.
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.
9 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days on earth are a shadow.)
10 Will they not 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?
10 Shall they not teach you, tell you, and utter words out of their heart?
11 Can the rush grow without mire? can the flag grow without water?
11 ¿Crece el junco sin lodo? ¿crece el prado sin agua?
11 “Can the papyrus grow up without mire? Can the rushes grow without water?
12 Whilst it [is] yet in its 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.
12 While it is yet in its greenness, not cut down, it withers before any other reed.
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:
13 So are the paths of all who forget God. The hope of the godless man will perish,
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.
14 whose confidence will break apart, whose trust is a spider’s web.
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.
15 He will lean on his house, but it will not stand. He will cling to it, but it will not endure.
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;
16 He is green before the sun. His shoots go out along his garden.
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.
17 His roots are wrapped around the rock pile. He sees the place of stones.
18 If he shall 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.
18 If he is destroyed from his place, then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have not seen you.’
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.
19 Behold, this is the joy of his way. Out of the earth, others will spring.
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.
20 “Behold, God will not cast away a blameless man, neither will he uphold the evildoers.
21 Till he shall fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.
21 Aun henchirá tu boca de risa, y tus labios de júbilo.
21 He will still fill your mouth with laughter, your lips with shouting.
22 They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to naught.
22 Los que te aborrecen, serán vestidos de confusión; y la habitación de los impíos perecerá.
22 Those who hate you will be clothed with shame. The tent of the wicked will be no more.”
