Job 25

1 Then Bildad [also] replied,

Alors Bildad Suhite 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.

Le règne et la terreur sont par-devers Dieu; il maintient la paix dans ses hauts lieux.

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 se peuvent-elles compter? et sur qui sa lumière ne se lève-t-elle point?

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]

Et comment l'homme [mortel] se justifierait-il devant le [Dieu] Fort? Et comment celui qui est né de 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.

Voilà, [qu'on aille] jusqu'à la lune, et elle ne luira point; les étoiles ne seront point pures devant 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; et le fils d'un homme, qui n'est qu'un vermisseau!
