1 Και απεκριθη Βιλδαδ ο Σαυχιτης και ειπεν? | 1 Then Baldad the Suhite answered by saying: |
2 Εξουσια και φοβος ειναι μετ' αυτου? εκτελει ειρηνην εις τα υψη αυτου. | 2 Power and terror are with him that makes a pact with those in high places. |
3 Υπαρχει αριθμος των στρατευματων αυτου; και επι τινα δεν ανατελλει το φως αυτου; | 3 Is there any limit to the number of his soldiers or to the number of those over whom his light rises? |
4 Πως λοιπον δυναται ανθρωπος να δικαιωθη ενωπιον του Θεου; η πως δυναται να ηναι καθαρος ο γεγεννημενος εκ γυναικος; | 4 Is it right for man to compare himself to God, or to appear pure though he is born of woman? |
5 Ιδου, και αυτη η σεληνη δεν ειναι λαμπρα, και οι αστερες δεν ειναι καθαροι ενωπιον αυτου. | 5 Behold, even the moon is not radiant, and the stars are not pure, in his sight. |
6 Ποσον ολιγωτερον ο ανθρωπος, σαπρια; και ο υιος του ανθρωπου, ο σκωληξ; | 6 Is man much more than rottenness and the son of man much more than worms? |
