Jobs 25

1 Då tok Bildad frå Suah til ords og sagde:

And Bildad the Shuhite answers and says:

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

“The rule and fear [are] with Him, Making peace in His high places.

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

Is their [any] number to His troops? And on whom does His light not arise?

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

And what? Is man righteous with God? And what? Is he pure—born of a woman?

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

Behold—to the moon, and it does not shine, And stars have not been pure in His eyes.

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

How much less man—a grub, And the son of man—a worm!”
