Ayub 25
1 Lalu Bildad menjawab, "Allah itu sangat berkuasa; semua orang harus gentar di hadapan-Nya; Dialah yang memelihara kedamaian dalam kerajaan-Nya di surga.
Then Bildad [also] replied,
“God is very powerful; everyone should have an awesome respect for him; he causes everything to be peaceful high up in heaven.
3 Dapatkah dihitung malaikat yang melayani-Nya? Adakah tempat yang tidak disinari oleh terang-Nya?
(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]
4 Mungkinkah manusia suci di mata Allah? Mungkinkah ia murni pada pemandangan-Nya?
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]
5 Bagi Allah, bahkan bulan pun tidak terang, dan bintang dianggapnya suram.
Consider this: God does not even consider the full moon to be bright, and he does not consider the stars to be spotless.
6 Apalagi manusia, si cacing, si serangga! Di mata Allah, ia sungguh tak berharga."
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.”
