Job 25

1 Then Baldad the Suhite answered by saying:

そこでシュヒびとビルダデは答えて言った、

2 Power and terror are with him that makes a pact with those in high places.

「大権と恐れとは神と共にある。彼は高き所で平和を施される。

3 Is there any limit to the number of his soldiers or to the number of those over whom his light rises?

その軍勢は数えることができるか。何物かその光に浴さないものがあるか。

4 Is it right for man to compare himself to God, or to appear pure though he is born of woman?

それで人はどうして神の前に正しくありえようか。女から生れた者がどうして清くありえようか。

5 Behold, even the moon is not radiant, and the stars are not pure, in his sight.

見よ、月さえも輝かず、星も彼の目には清くない。

6 Is man much more than rottenness and the son of man much more than worms?

うじのような人、虫のような人の子はなおさらである」。
