ヨブ 記 25

1 時にシユヒ人ビルダデこたへて曰く

Then Bildad the Shuhite spoke up and said,

2 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

“Dominion and awe belong to God. He brings peace to his heavens.

3 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

Who can count his armies? Is there anywhere his light doesn't shine?

4 然ば誰か神の前に正義かるべき 婦人の產し者いかでか清かるべき

How can a human being be right before God? Can anyone born of woman be pure?

5 視よ月も輝かず 星も其目には清明ならず

If in God's eyes even the moon does not shine brightly, and the stars are not pure,

6 いはんや蛆のごとき人 蟲のごとき人の子をや

how much less a human being—who by comparison is like a maggot or a worm!”
