GREEK BIBLENEW JERUSALEM
1 Και απεκριθη Βιλδαδ ο Σαυχιτης και ειπεν?1 Bildad of Shuah spoke next. He said:
2 Εξουσια και φοβος ειναι μετ' αυτου? εκτελει ειρηνην εις τα υψη αυτου.2 What sovereignty, what awe, is his who creates peace on his heights!
3 Υπαρχει αριθμος των στρατευματων αυτου; και επι τινα δεν ανατελλει το φως αυτου;3 Who can count his armies? Against whom does his lightning not surge forth?
4 Πως λοιπον δυναται ανθρωπος να δικαιωθη ενωπιον του Θεου; η πως δυναται να ηναι καθαρος ο γεγεννημενος εκ γυναικος;4 Could anyone think God regards him as virtuous, the child of woman as pure!
5 Ιδου, και αυτη η σεληνη δεν ειναι λαμπρα, και οι αστερες δεν ειναι καθαροι ενωπιον αυτου.5 Why, the very moon lacks lustre, the very stars seem impure to him! The Shadows tremble underneaththe earth, the waters and their denizens are afraid.
6 Ποσον ολιγωτερον ο ανθρωπος, σαπρια; και ο υιος του ανθρωπου, ο σκωληξ;6 How much less a human, this maggot, the child of man, this worm! Before his eyes, Sheol is bare,Perdition itself is uncovered.
7 He it was who spread the North above the void and poised the earth on nothingness.
8 He fastens up the waters in his clouds, without the clouds giving way under their weight.
9 He covers the face of the full moon, spreading his cloud across it.
10 He has traced a ring on the surface of the waters, at the boundary between light and dark.
11 The pil ars of the heavens tremble, awe-struck at his threats.
12 By his power, he has whipped up the Sea, by his skil , he has crushed Rahab.
13 His breath has made the heavens luminous, his hand transfixed the Fleeing Serpent.
14 This is only a fraction of what he has done and al we catch of it is the feeblest echo. But who canconceive the thunder of his power?
