NEW JERUSALEMEL LIBRO DEL PUEBLO DE DIOS
1 Bildad of Shuah spoke next. He said:1 Bildad de Súaj replicó, diciendo:
2 What sovereignty, what awe, is his who creates peace on his heights!2 Su dominio es soberano y temible: él hace reinar la paz en sus alturas.
3 Who can count his armies? Against whom does his lightning not surge forth?3 ¿Se pueden contar sus legiones? ¿Sobre quién no se alza su luz?
4 Could anyone think God regards him as virtuous, the child of woman as pure!4 ¿Cómo puede un hombre ser justo ante Dios o ser puro un hijo de mujer?
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 Si hasta la luna no tiene brillo ni las estrellas son puras a sus ojos,
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 ¡cuánto menos el hombre, ese gusano, el hijo del hombre, que es sólo una lombriz!
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?
