Bildad Speaks
18 Then Bildad the Shuhite(A) replied:
2 How long until you stop talking?
Show some sense, and then we can talk.
3 Why are we regarded as cattle,
as stupid in your sight?
4 You who tear yourself in anger[a]—
should the earth be abandoned on your account,
or a rock be removed from its place?
5 Yes, the light(B) of the wicked(C) is extinguished;
the flame of his fire does not glow.
6 The light in his tent grows dark,(D)
and the lamp beside him is put out.
7 His powerful stride is shortened,
and his own schemes trip him up.(E)
8 For his own feet lead him into a net,
and he strays into its mesh.
9 A trap catches him by the heel;
a noose seizes him.
10 A rope lies hidden for him on the ground,
and a snare waits for him along the path.
11 Terrors frighten him on every side(F)
and harass him at every step.
12 His strength is depleted;
disaster lies ready for him to stumble.[b]
13 Parts of his skin are eaten away;
death’s firstborn consumes his limbs.
14 He is ripped from the security of his tent
and marched away to the king of terrors.
15 Nothing he owned remains in his tent.
Burning sulfur(G) is scattered over his home.
16 His roots below dry up,
and his branches above wither away.(H)
17 All memory(I) of him perishes from the earth;
he has no name anywhere.[c]
18 He is driven from light to darkness
and chased from the inhabited world.
19 He has no children or descendants among his people,
no survivor where he used to live.(J)
20 Those in the west are appalled(K) at his fate,
while those in the east tremble in horror.
21 Indeed, such is the dwelling of the unjust man,
and this is the place of the one who does not know God.(L)

比勒达再责约伯狡辩
18 书亚人比勒达回答说：
2 “你寻索言语要到几时呢？
先想清楚，然后我们再说吧。
3 我们为甚么算为牲畜？
为甚么在你的眼中看为污秽呢？
4 你这因怒气而撕裂自己的，
难道大地要为你的缘故被丢弃，
盘石要挪移离开原处吗？
恶人的祸患
5 恶人的灯必要熄灭，
他的火焰必不照耀；
6 他帐棚中的光要变为黑暗，
上面的灯也必熄灭。
7 他的脚步必然狭窄，
自己的计谋必把他绊倒；
8 他的脚送自己进入网罗，
他走在陷阱之上。
9 圈套要缠住他的脚跟，
网罗要罩在他身上。
10 活扣为他藏在地里，
羁绊为他埋在路上。
11 惊骇四面恐吓他，
并且追赶他的脚踪。
12 他的气力因饥饿衰败，
祸患预备使他跌倒。
13 灾祸侵蚀了他大部分的皮肤，
死亡的长子吃掉了他的肢体。
14 他要从他倚靠的帐棚中被拔出来，
被带到惊骇的王那里，
15 不属他的住在他的帐棚里，
硫磺撒在他的居所之上。
16 他下面的根枯干，
上面的枝子凋谢。
17 他令人怀念的都从地上灭没，
他的名字不再留存在田上。
18 他们把他从光明中赶到黑暗里，
又把他从世界中赶出去。
19 在本族中他无子无孙，
在他寄居之地，也没有生存的人。
20 西方的人因他的日子惊讶，
东方的人也战栗不已。
21 不义的人之住所实在是这样，
这就是不认识 神的人的收场。”

Bildad talar igen
18 Bildad från Shuach svarade:
2 Ska inte detta ordflöde upphöra någon gång?
Bli nu förnuftig, så vi kan prata![a]
3 Varför betraktas vi som boskap,
som är dumma i dina ögon?
4 Du sliter ju sönder dig själv i din vrede.
Skulle jorden ödeläggas för din skull
eller klippan förflytta sig från sin plats?
5 Den ogudaktiges ljus slocknar,
lågan av hans eld slutar brinna.
6 Det är mörkt i hans tält,
hans lampa slocknar.
7 Hans starka steg försvagas,
hans egna planer fäller honom.
8 Hans fötter fastnar i nätet,
han vandrar mot snaran.
9 Snaran griper honom om hälen,
fällan håller honom fast.
10 En snara ligger gömd i marken,
en fälla är lagd på stigen.
11 Skräcken ansätter honom från alla håll
och jagar varje steg han tar.
12 Olyckan vill sluka honom,
hemsökelsen är beredd för hans fall.
13 Hans hud fräts sönder av sjukdomar,
dödens förstfödde förtär hans lemmar.
14 Han rycks bort från sin trygga boning,
han förs bort till fasornas kung.
15 Hans boning intas av ingenting,
och svavel sprids ut över den.[b]
16 Hans rötter förtorkas nertill,
hans krona vissnar bort upptill.
17 Han utplånas från jorden,
hans namn nämns ingenstans på jorden.
18 Han drivs ut ur ljuset in i mörkret
och förföljs ut ur världen.
19 Han ska varken ha barn eller ättlingar bland sitt folk,
och där han bott överlever ingen.
20 I väst förskräcks folk över hans öde,
i öst grips man av förfäran.
21 Detta är vad som händer med syndarens boning,
så går det med den plats där man förkastar Gud.

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)
