¹Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

¹Na to odpovedal Bildad Šuchský a riekol:

²How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.

²Dokedy už neurobíte rečiam konca? Rozumejte, a potom budeme hovoriť.

³Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?

³Prečo sme považovaní za podobných hovädám? Prečo sme nečistí vo vašich očiach?

⁴He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?

⁴Ty, ktorý trháš na kusy svoju dušu vo svojom hneve, či azda pre teba bude opustená zem, a odtrhne sa skala so svojho miesta?

⁵Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.

⁵I svetlo bezbožných zhasne, ani nezableskne plameň jeho ohňa.

⁶The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.

⁶Svetlo sa zatmí v jeho stáne, a jeho lampa zhasne nad ním.

⁷The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.

⁷Sovrú sa kroky jeho sily, a zamrští ho jeho vlastná rada.

⁸For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.

⁸Lebo je zahnaný svojimi nohami do siete a bude chodiť po pletive.

⁹The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.

⁹Chytí ho za pätu smečka, a zmocní sa ho hrabivý násilník.

¹⁰The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.

¹⁰Jeho povraz je skrytý na zemi a jeho pasca na chodníku.

¹¹Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.

¹¹Zo všetkých strán ho budú desiť hrôzy a budú dotierať na jeho nohy.

¹²His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.

¹²Jeho sila bude hladná, a nešťastie bude pohotove po jeho boku.

¹³It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.

¹³Bude žrať údy jeho kože, jeho údy bude žrať prvorodený smrti.

¹⁴His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.

¹⁴Jeho nádej bude vyrvaná z jeho stánu, a to ho povedie krok za krokom ku kráľovi hrôz.

¹⁵It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.

¹⁵Hrôza bude bývať v jeho stáne, ktorý však už nebude jeho, a na jeho obydlie bude sa sypať síra.

¹⁶His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.

¹⁶Od spodku vyschnú jeho korene, a s hora bude oťatá jeho vetev.

¹⁷His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.

¹⁷Jeho pamiatka zahynie zo zeme, ani mu nebude mena na ulici.

¹⁸He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.

¹⁸Zaženú ho zo svetla do tmy, áno, vypudia ho, aby blúdil ta preč s okruhu zeme.

¹⁹He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.

¹⁹Niet mu ani syna ani vnuka v jeho ľude ani nieto nijakého ostatku v príbytkoch jeho pohostínstva.

²⁰They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.

²⁰Nad jeho dňom sa zhrozia tí, ktorí sú na západe, a veľký strach pojme tých, ktorí sú na východe.

²¹Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.

²¹Nuž také sú príbytky nešľachetníka, a to je miesto toho, kto nezná silného Boha.
