< Job 18 >
1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
Odpovídaje pak Bildad Suchský, řekl:
2 How long will it be before all of you make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
Dokudž neučiníte konce řečem? Pomyslte na to, a potom mluviti budeme.
3 Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?
Proč jsme počteni za hovada? Oškliví jsme jemu, jakž sami vidíte.
4 He tears himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for you? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
Ó ty, jenž hubíš život svůj zůřením svým, zdaliž pro tebe opuštěna bude země, a odsedne skála z místa svého?
5 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
Anobrž světlo bezbožných uhašeno bude, aniž se blyštěti bude jiskra ohně jejich.
6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.
Světlo se zatmí v stánku jeho, a lucerna jeho v něm zhasne.
7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
Ssouženi budou krokové síly jeho, a porazí jej rada jeho.
8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walks upon a snare.
Nebo zapleten jest do síti nohami svými, a v zamotání chodí.
9 The animal trap shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.
Chytí ho za patu osídlo, a zmocní se ho násilník.
10 The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
Skrytať jest při zemi smečka jeho, a léčka jeho na stezce.
11 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
Odevšad hrůzy jej děsiti budou a dotírati na nohy jeho.
12 His strength shall be famished, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
Hladovitá bude síla jeho, a bída pohotově při boku jeho.
13 It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
Zžíře žily kůže jeho, zžíře oudy jeho kníže smrti.
14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
Uchváceno bude z stánku jeho doufání jeho, a to jej přivede k králi strachů.
15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
V stánku jeho hrůza bydleti bude, ač nebyl jeho; posypáno bude obydlí jeho sirou.
16 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
Od zpodku kořenové jeho uschnou, a svrchu osekány budou ratolesti jeho.
17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
Památka jeho zahyne z země, aniž jméno jeho slýcháno bude na ulicích.
18 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
Vyženou ho z světla do tmy, anobrž z okršlku zemského vypudí jej.
19 He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
Ne pozůstaví ani syna ani vnuka v lidu svém, ani jakého ostatku v příbytcích svých.
20 They that come after him shall be astonished at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.
Nade dnem jeho zděsí se potomci, a přítomní strachem podjati budou.
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knows not God.
Takovýť jest zajisté způsob nešlechetného, a takový cíl toho, kterýž nezná Boha silného.
