¹Na to odpovedal Bildad Šuchský a riekol:

¹Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,

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

²“How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.

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

³Why are we counted as animals, which have become unclean in your sight?

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

⁴You who tear yourself in your anger, shall the earth be forsaken for you? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?

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

⁵“Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, The spark of his fire shall not shine.

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

⁶The light shall be dark in his tent. His lamp above him shall be put out.

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

⁷The steps of his strength shall be shortened. His own counsel shall cast him down.

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

⁸For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he wanders into its mesh.

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

⁹A snare will take him by the heel. A trap will catch him.

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

¹⁰A noose is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him in the way.

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

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

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

¹²His strength shall be famished. Calamity shall be ready at his side.

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

¹³The members of his body shall be devoured. The firstborn of death shall devour his members.

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

¹⁴He shall be rooted out of his tent where he trusts. He shall be brought to the king of terrors.

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

¹⁵There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Sulfur shall be scattered on his habitation.

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

¹⁶His roots shall be dried up beneath. Above shall his branch be cut off.

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

¹⁷His memory shall perish from the earth. He shall have no name in the street.

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

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

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

¹⁹He shall have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining where he lived.

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

²⁰Those who come after shall be astonished at his day, as those who went before were frightened.

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

²¹Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous. This is the place of him who doesn’t know God.”
