Segunda reprensión de Bildad a Job
18 Entonces Bildad el suhita le dijo:
2 «¿Cuándo vas a dejar de hablar?
Ponte a pensar, y después de eso hablaremos.
3 ¿Por qué nos consideras unas bestias?
¿Por qué nos ves como gente despreciable?
4 Aunque airado te desgarres el alma,
la tierra no va a quedarse sin vida por tu causa,
ni las rocas van a cambiar de lugar.
5 »La vida del malvado habrá de extinguirse,
y el resplandor de su fuego dejará de brillar.
6 La luz se irá apagando en su casa,
y su lámpara dejará de alumbrar;
7 sus pasos irán perdiendo su vigor,
y sus planes se volverán contra él.
8 A su paso se le tenderán trampas,
y quedará enredado entre redes.
9 Sus tobillos quedarán atrapados
en la trampa que se le tienda.
10 Le esperan trampas ocultas en el suelo;
hay trampas escondidas, esperando que pase.
11 Por todas partes lo asaltará el terror;
por todos lados se verá perseguido.
12 El hambre le hará perder fuerzas,
y el desastre no lo abandonará.
13 La enfermedad irá minando su cuerpo,
y la muerte le roerá las manos y los pies.
14 Arrancado de la seguridad de su casa,
será arrastrado por el rey de los terrores.
15 Vivirá en su propia casa como en casa ajena,
y sobre su casa caerá polvo de azufre.
16 Será desarraigado de su pueblo,
y nunca llegará a formar una familia.
17 Su nombre será olvidado por todos,
y nadie en la calle lo reconocerá.
18 Será arrojado de la luz a las tinieblas,
y expulsado de este mundo.
19 No tendrá entre su pueblo pariente alguno,
ni habrá tampoco quien herede sus posesiones.
20 Su final aterrará a los de occidente,
y hará temblar de miedo a los de oriente.
21 Así termina la vida de los malvados;
en eso paran los que no reconocen a Dios.»

18 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2 How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
3 Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?
4 He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
5 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.
7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.
9 The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.
10 The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
11 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
12 His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
13 It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
16 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
18 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
19 He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
20 They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.

Bildad
18 Then Bildad the Shuhite(A) replied:
2 “When will you end these speeches?(B)
Be sensible, and then we can talk.
3 Why are we regarded as cattle(C)
and considered stupid in your sight?(D)
4 You who tear yourself(E) to pieces in your anger,(F)
is the earth to be abandoned for your sake?
Or must the rocks be moved from their place?(G)
5 “The lamp of a wicked man is snuffed out;(H)
the flame of his fire stops burning.(I)
6 The light in his tent(J) becomes dark;(K)
the lamp beside him goes out.(L)
7 The vigor(M) of his step is weakened;(N)
his own schemes(O) throw him down.(P)
8 His feet thrust him into a net;(Q)
he wanders into its mesh.
9 A trap seizes him by the heel;
a snare(R) holds him fast.(S)
10 A noose(T) is hidden for him on the ground;
a trap(U) lies in his path.(V)
11 Terrors(W) startle him on every side(X)
and dog(Y) his every step.
12 Calamity(Z) is hungry(AA) for him;
disaster(AB) is ready for him when he falls.(AC)
13 It eats away parts of his skin;(AD)
death’s firstborn devours his limbs.(AE)
14 He is torn from the security of his tent(AF)
and marched off to the king(AG) of terrors.(AH)
15 Fire resides[a] in his tent;(AI)
burning sulfur(AJ) is scattered over his dwelling.
16 His roots dry up below(AK)
and his branches wither above.(AL)
17 The memory of him perishes from the earth;(AM)
he has no name(AN) in the land.(AO)
18 He is driven from light into the realm of darkness(AP)
and is banished(AQ) from the world.(AR)
19 He has no offspring(AS) or descendants(AT) among his people,
no survivor(AU) where once he lived.(AV)
20 People of the west are appalled(AW) at his fate;(AX)
those of the east are seized with horror.
21 Surely such is the dwelling(AY) of an evil man;(AZ)
such is the place(BA) of one who does not know God.”(BB)

Bildad: The Wicked Are Punished
18 Then (A)Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
2 “How long till you put an end to words?
Gain understanding, and afterward we will speak.
3 Why are we counted (B)as beasts,
And regarded as stupid in your sight?
4 (C)You[a] who tear yourself in anger,
Shall the earth be forsaken for you?
Or shall the rock be removed from its place?
5 “The(D) light of the wicked indeed goes out,
And the flame of his fire does not shine.
6 The light is dark in his tent,
(E)And his lamp beside him is put out.
7 The steps of his strength are shortened,
And (F)his own counsel casts him down.
8 For (G)he is cast into a net by his own feet,
And he walks into a snare.
9 The net takes him by the heel,
And (H)a snare lays hold of him.
10 A noose is hidden for him on the ground,
And a trap for him in the road.
11 (I)Terrors frighten him on every side,
And drive him to his feet.
12 His strength is starved,
And (J)destruction is ready at his side.
13 It devours patches of his skin;
The firstborn of death devours his [b]limbs.
14 He is uprooted from (K)the shelter of his tent,
And they parade him before the king of terrors.
15 They dwell in his tent who are none of his;
Brimstone is scattered on his dwelling.
16 (L)His roots are dried out below,
And his branch withers above.
17 (M)The memory of him perishes from the earth,
And he has no name [c]among the renowned.
18 [d]He is driven from light into darkness,
And chased out of the world.
19 (N)He has neither son nor posterity among his people,
Nor any remaining in his dwellings.
20 Those [e]in the west are astonished (O)at his day,
As those [f]in the east are frightened.
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked,
And this is the place of him who (P)does not know God.”

Bildad: Der Gottlose wird vom Unheil verfolgt
18 Nun ergriff Bildad aus Schuach wieder das Wort:
2 »Hör endlich auf mit dem Geschwätz, Hiob!
Komm zur Vernunft, damit wir dir etwas sagen können!
3 Warum stellst du uns als töricht hin,
hältst uns für dumm wie ein Stück Vieh?
4 Du zerfleischst dich selbst in deinem Zorn!
Soll das Land verwüstet werden,
sollen mächtige Felsen einstürzen,
nur damit du recht behältst?
5 Mach dir nichts vor:
Das Licht des Gottlosen wird erlöschen,
und seine Flamme lodert nicht mehr auf.
6 In seinem Zelt wird es dunkel,
seine Lampe erlischt.
7 Mit müden Schritten schleppt er sich dahin;
seine eigenen Machenschaften bringen ihn zu Fall.
8 Er wird sich im Netz verstricken,
in eine überdeckte Grube stürzen.
9 Er tritt in die Falle, und sie schnappt zu.
In Schlingen wird er sich verfangen.
10 Versteckt am Boden ist ein Strick für ihn gespannt,
auf seinem Weg wartet eine Falle.
11 Angst und Schrecken bedrängen ihn von allen Seiten,
sie verfolgen ihn auf Schritt und Tritt.
12 Das Unheil lauert ihm auf,
das Unglück wird ihn überfallen.
13 Eine furchtbare Krankheit frisst seine Glieder,
als Bote des Todes zehrt sie ihn aus.
14 Sie entwurzelt ihn aus seiner Heimat,
wo er sich sicher glaubte,
und treibt ihn zum König aller Schrecken – hin zum Tod.
15 Das Feuer wird in seinem Zelt wüten,
und man wird Schwefel auf sein Grundstück streuen.
16 Seine Wurzeln verdorren im Erdreich,
und seine Zweige sterben ab.
17 Die Erinnerung an ihn wird völlig ausgelöscht,
und bald denkt keiner mehr an ihn im ganzen Land.
18 Man wird ihn aus dem Licht ins Dunkle stoßen,
vom Erdboden verschwinden lassen.
19 Er wird weder Kind noch Enkel haben in seinem Volk,
von seiner Familie wird keiner überleben.
20 Über seinen Unglückstag wird jeder sich entsetzen.
In Ost und West packt alle, die es hören, kaltes Grausen.
21 Ja, so sieht das Ende böser Menschen aus!
So geht es dem, der Gott den Rücken kehrt!«
