Jobs 25

1 Då tok Bildad frå Suah til ords og sagde:

Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,

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?

Can his armies be counted? On 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 who is born of a woman be clean?

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!”
