Job 25

1 Then Bildad [also] replied,

時にシユヒ人ビルダデこたへて曰く

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

神は大權を握りたまふ者 畏るべき者にましまし 高き處に平和を施したまふ

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]

その軍旅數ふることを得んや 其光明なに物をか照さざらん

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]

然ば誰か神の前に正義かるべき 婦人の産し者いかでか清かるべき

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

視よ月も輝かず 星も其目には清明ならず

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.”

いはんや蛆のごとき人 蟲のごとき人の子をや
