< Job 25 >

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
時にシユヒ人ビルダデこたへて曰く
2 “Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven.
神は大權を握りたまふ者 畏るべき者にましまし 高き處に平和を施したまふ
3 Can His troops be numbered? On whom does His light not rise?
その軍旅數ふることを得んや 其光明なに物をか照さざらん
4 How then can a man be just before God? How can one born of woman be pure?
然ば誰か神の前に正義かるべき 婦人の產し者いかでか清かるべき
5 If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His sight,
視よ月も輝かず 星も其目には清明ならず
6 how much less man, who is but a maggot, and the son of man, who is but a worm!”
いはんや蛆のごとき人 蟲のごとき人の子をや

< Job 25 >
