Job 25

1 Then Bildad [also] replied,

Bildad de Chouha 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 l’empire et la redoutable puissance; IL établit la paix dans ses demeures sublimes.

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 milices peuvent-elles se compter? 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 donc le mortel serait-il juste devant Dieu? Comment le fils de la femme serait-il innocent?

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

Eh quoi! L’Éclat de la lune elle-même se ternit, et les étoiles ne sont pas sans tache 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.”

A plus forte raison en est-il ainsi du mortel qui n’est que pourriture, du fils d’Adam qui n’est qu’un vermisseau!
