Job 25

1 Then Bildad [also] replied,

Alors Baldad de Suhé prit la parole et dit:

2 “God is very powerful; everyone should have an awesome respect for him; he causes everything to be peaceful high up in heaven.

A lui appartiennent la domination et la terreur; il fait régner la paix dans ses hautes demeures.

3 (Can anyone count the angels who are in his army [in heaven]?/No one can count the angels who are in his army [in heaven].) [RHQ] (Is there any place where his light does not shine?/There is no place where his light does not shine.) [RHQ]

Ses légions ne sont-elles pas innombrables? Sur qui ne se lève pas sa lumière?

4 So, (how can God consider anyone to be righteous?/God certainly cannot consider anyone to be righteous.) [RHQ] (How can any human being be truly pure?/No human being can be truly pure.) [RHQ]

Comment l'homme serait-il juste devant Dieu? Comment le fils de la femme serait-il pur?

5 Consider this: God does not even consider the full moon to be bright, and he does not consider the stars to be spotless.

Voici que la lune même est sans clarté, les étoiles ne sont pas pures à ses yeux:

6 So, (what about humans?/he does not consider humans [to be important].) [RHQ] They are [as insignificant as] [MET] maggots. [God does not think more highly of] people [than he thinks of] worms.”

combien moins l'homme, ce vermisseau, le fils de l'homme, ce vil insecte!
