< ヨブ 記 25 >

1 そこでシュヒびとビルダデは答えて言った、
Then Bildad [also] replied,
2 「大権と恐れとは神と共にある。彼は高き所で平和を施される。
“God is very powerful; everyone should have an awesome respect for him; he causes everything to be peaceful high up in heaven.
3 その軍勢は数えることができるか。何物かその光に浴さないものがあるか。
(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 それで人はどうして神の前に正しくありえようか。女から生れた者がどうして清くありえようか。
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 見よ、月さえも輝かず、星も彼の目には清くない。
Consider this: God does not even consider the full moon to be bright, and he does not consider the stars to be spotless.
6 うじのような人、虫のような人の子はなおさらである」。
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.”
