Bildad Speaks: Job Should Repent
8 Then (A)Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
2 “How long will you say these things,
and the words of your mouth be a (B)great wind?
3 (C)Does God pervert justice?
Or does the Almighty pervert the right?
4 If your (D)children have sinned against him,
he has delivered them into the hand of their transgression.
5 If you will seek God
and (E)plead with the Almighty for mercy,
6 if you are pure and upright,
surely then he will (F)rouse himself for you
and (G)restore your rightful habitation.
7 And though your beginning was small,
(H)your latter days will be very great.
8 “For (I)inquire, please, of bygone ages,
and consider what (J)the fathers have searched out.
9 For we are but of yesterday and know nothing,
for our days on earth are (K)a shadow.
10 Will they not teach you and tell you
and utter words out of their understanding?
11 “Can papyrus grow where there is no marsh?
Can reeds flourish where there is no water?
12 While yet in flower and not cut down,
they (L)wither before any other plant.
13 Such are the paths of all who (M)forget God;
(N)the hope of (O)the godless shall perish.
14 His confidence is severed,
and his trust is (P)a spider's web.[a]
15 He leans against his (Q)house, but it does not stand;
he lays hold of it, but it does not endure.
16 He is a lush plant before the sun,
and his (R)shoots spread over his garden.
17 His roots entwine the stone heap;
he looks upon a house of stones.
18 If he is destroyed from his (S)place,
then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have never (T)seen you.’
19 Behold, this is the joy of his way,
and out of (U)the soil others will spring.
20 “Behold, God will not reject a blameless man,
nor take the hand of evildoers.
21 He will yet (V)fill your mouth with laughter,
and your lips with shouting.
22 Those who hate you will be (W)clothed with shame,
and the tent of the wicked will be no more.”

Bildad
8 Then Bildad the Shuhite(A) replied:
2 “How long will you say such things?(B)
Your words are a blustering wind.(C)
3 Does God pervert justice?(D)
Does the Almighty pervert what is right?(E)
4 When your children sinned against him,
he gave them over to the penalty of their sin.(F)
5 But if you will seek God earnestly
and plead(G) with the Almighty,(H)
6 if you are pure and upright,
even now he will rouse himself on your behalf(I)
and restore you to your prosperous state.(J)
7 Your beginnings will seem humble,
so prosperous(K) will your future be.(L)
8 “Ask the former generation(M)
and find out what their ancestors learned,
9 for we were born only yesterday and know nothing,(N)
and our days on earth are but a shadow.(O)
10 Will they not instruct(P) you and tell you?
Will they not bring forth words from their understanding?(Q)
11 Can papyrus grow tall where there is no marsh?(R)
Can reeds(S) thrive without water?
12 While still growing and uncut,
they wither more quickly than grass.(T)
13 Such is the destiny(U) of all who forget God;(V)
so perishes the hope of the godless.(W)
14 What they trust in is fragile[a];
what they rely on is a spider’s web.(X)
15 They lean on the web,(Y) but it gives way;
they cling to it, but it does not hold.(Z)
16 They are like a well-watered plant in the sunshine,
spreading its shoots(AA) over the garden;(AB)
17 it entwines its roots around a pile of rocks
and looks for a place among the stones.
18 But when it is torn from its spot,
that place disowns(AC) it and says, ‘I never saw you.’(AD)
19 Surely its life withers(AE) away,
and[b] from the soil other plants grow.(AF)

Primul discurs al lui Bildad din Şuah
8 Atunci Bildad din Şuah a luat cuvântul şi a zis:
2 „Până când vei mai vorbi astfel
şi până când vor fi cuvintele tale ca un vânt năprasnic?
3 Oare va perverti Dumnezeu judecata dreaptă?
Va perverti Cel Atotputernic ce e drept?
4 Dacă fiii tăi au păcătuit împotriva Lui,
El i-a pedepsit pentru păcatul lor.
5 Dacă tu Îl cauţi pe Dumnezeu
şi te rogi Celui Atotputernic,
6 dacă eşti curat şi drept,
cu siguranţă, El Însuşi te va apăra
şi-ţi va da înapoi locuinţa dreptăţii tale.
7 Deşi începutul tău a fost neînsemnat,
zilele tale de pe urmă vor fi prospere.
8 Întreabă generaţiile anterioare
şi află ce-au învăţat părinţii lor,
9 pentru că noi suntem doar de ieri şi nu ştim nimic,
iar zilele noastre pe pământ sunt doar o umbră.
10 Oare nu te vor învăţa şi nu-ţi vor spune
şi nu vor scoate ei cuvinte din mintea lor?
11 Creşte papirusul unde nu este mlaştină?
Creşte trestia unde nu este apă?
12 Pe când este încă verde şi netăiată,
se usucă mai repede ca iarba.
13 Aşa sunt căile celor ce uită pe Dumnezeu;
aşa piere nădejdea celui lipsit de evlavie.
14 Încrederea lui este ca un fir subţire[a]
şi sprijinul lui este ca pânza unui păianjen.
15 Se bizuie pe casa lui, dar ea nu este tare,
se prinde de ea, dar ea nu ţine.
16 El este ca o plantă plină de sevă în lumina soarelui,
care îşi întinde ramurile deasupra grădinii,
17 îşi ţese rădăcinile printre pietre,
caută un loc între stânci.
18 Dar când e smulsă din locul ei,
locul acela îi spune: «Nu te-am văzut niciodată!»
19 Aceasta este bucuria căii ei[b],
iar din pământ vor răsări altele.[c]
20 Nu, Dumnezeu nu-l va respinge pe cel curat,
nici nu va întări mâinile celor ce fac rău.
21 El va umple din nou cu râsete gura ta,
şi va aşeza strigăte de bucurie pe buzele tale.
22 Cei ce te urăsc vor fi acoperiţi de ruşine
şi cortul celui rău nu va mai fi.“
