Jobs 25

1 Då tok Bildad frå Suah til ords og sagde:

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

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

Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh 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 doth not his light arise?

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

How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

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

Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.

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

How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?
