Job 25

New Jerusalem Bible	Le Sainte Bible Vigouroux
¹ Bildad of Shuah spoke next. He said:	¹ Baldad le Suhite parla ensuite en ces termes :
² What sovereignty, what awe, is his who creates peace on his heights!	² La puissance et la terreur appartiennent à Dieu ; il (à celui qui) fait régner la paix dans ses hauts lieux.
³ Who can count his armies? Against whom does his lightning not surge forth?	³ Peut-on compter le nombre de ses soldats ? et sur qui sa lumière ne se lève-t-elle pas ?
⁴ Could anyone think God regards him as virtuous, the child of woman as pure!	⁴ L'homme comparé à Dieu peut-il être justifié, et celui qui est né de la femme paraîtra-t-il pur ?
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.	⁵ La lune même ne brille pas, et les étoiles ne sont pas pures devant ses yeux ;
⁶ How much less a human, this maggot, the child of man, this worm! Before his eyes, Sheol is bare,Perdition itself is uncovered.	⁶ combien moins le sera l'homme qui n'est que pourriture, et le fils de l'homme, qui n'est qu'un ver ?
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?
