Job 25

1 Then Bildad [also] replied,

Allora Bildad di Suach rispose e disse:

2 “God is very powerful; everyone should have an awesome respect for him; he causes everything to be peaceful high up in heaven.

“A Dio appartiene il dominio e il terrore: egli fa regnare la pace ne’ suoi luoghi altissimi.

3 (Can anyone count the angels who are in his army [in heaven]?/No one can count the angels who are in his army [in heaven].) [RHQ] (Is there any place where his light does not shine?/There is no place where his light does not shine.) [RHQ]

Le sue legioni si posson forse contare? Su chi non si leva la sua luce?

4 So, (how can God consider anyone to be righteous?/God certainly cannot consider anyone to be righteous.) [RHQ] (How can any human being be truly pure?/No human being can be truly pure.) [RHQ]

Come può dunque l’uomo esser giusto dinanzi a Dio? Come può esser puro il nato dalla donna?

5 Consider this: God does not even consider the full moon to be bright, and he does not consider the stars to be spotless.

Ecco, la luna stessa manca di chiarore, e le stelle non son pure agli occhi di lui;

6 So, (what about humans?/he does not consider humans [to be important].) [RHQ] They are [as insignificant as] [MET] maggots. [God does not think more highly of] people [than he thinks of] worms.”

quanto meno l’uomo, ch’è un verme, il figliuol d’uomo ch’è un vermicciuolo!”
