¹And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,

¹Na to odpovedal Bildad Šuchský a riekol:

²How long will ye hunt for words? Be intelligent, and then we will speak.

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

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

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

⁴Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of its 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 flame of his fire shall not shine.

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

⁶The light shall become dark in his tent, and his lamp over him shall be put out.

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 sent into the net by his own feet, and he walketh on the meshes;

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

⁹The gin taketh [him] by the heel, the snare layeth hold on him;

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

¹⁰A cord is hidden for him in the ground, and his trap in the way.

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

¹¹Terrors make him afraid on every side, and chase him at his footsteps.

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

¹²His strength is hunger-bitten, and calamity is ready at his side.

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

¹³The firstborn of death devoureth the members of his body; it will devour his members.

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

¹⁴His confidence shall be rooted out of his tent, and it shall lead him away to the king of terrors:

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

¹⁵They who are none of his shall dwell in his tent; brimstone shall be showered 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 on the pasture-grounds.

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

¹⁸He is 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 hath neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining in the places of his sojourn.

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

²⁰They that come after shall be astonished at his day, as they that went before [them] 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 unrighteous man, and such the place of him that knoweth not ùGod.

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