Jobs 25

1 Då tok Bildad frå Suah til ords og sagde:

Then Baldad the Suhite answered, and I said:

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

Power and terror are with him, who maketh peace in his high places.

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

Is there any numbering of his soldiers? and upon whom shall not his light arise?

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

Can man be justified compared with God, or he that is born of a woman appear clean?

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

Behold even the moon doth not shine, and the stars are not pure in his sight.

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

How much less man that is rottenness and the son of man who is a worm?
