Jobs 25

1 Då tok Bildad frå Suah til ords og sagde:

Then Bildad the Shuhite answered, and said,

2 «Hjå honom magt og rædsla finst; han i sin himmel freden skaper.

Dominion and fear are with him. He makes peace in his high places.

3 Kven veit talet på hans herar? Kven yverstrålar ei hans ljos?

Is there any number of his armies? And upon whom does his light not arise?

4 Kor kann ein mann ha rett mot Gud? Er vel ein kvinnefødd uskuldig?

How then can man be just with God? Or how can he be clean who is born of a woman?

5 Sjå, månen er’kje klår ein gong, og stjernon’ er’kje reine for han.

Behold, even the moon has no brightness. And the stars are not pure in his sight.

6 Enn mannen då, den vesle krypen? Menneskjebarnet, denne makk?»

How much less man, who is a worm! And the son of man, who is a worm!
