Job 25

1 Then Bildad [also] replied,

Bildad de Schuach 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.

La puissance et la terreur appartiennent à Dieu; Il fait régner la paix dans ses hautes régions.

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 armées ne sont-elles pas innombrables? Sur qui sa lumière ne se lève-t-elle pas?

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 celui qui est né 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, la lune même n’est pas brillante, Et 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, qui n’est qu’un ver, Le fils de l’homme, qui n’est qu’un vermisseau!
