Giobbe 25

BIBBIA TINTORI	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Alì ora prese la parola Baldad Suhite, e disse:	1 Bildad of Shuah spoke next. He said:
2 « La potenza e il terrore sono in Colui che mantiene l'ordine nei suoi alti luoghi.	2 What sovereignty, what awe, is his who creates peace on his heights!
3 Si può forse contare il numero dei suoi eserciti? Su chi non si leva la sua luce?	3 Who can count his armies? Against whom does his lightning not surge forth?
4 Può forse l'uomo esser giustificato di fronte a Dio, o apparir puro un nato di donna?	4 Could anyone think God regards him as virtuous, the child of woman as pure!
5 Ecco la luna stessa non ha splendore, e le stelle non sono pure dinanzi a lui: e quanto meno l'uomo, che è putredine, e il figlio dell'uomo, che è un verme! »	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 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?
