فَقَالَ بِلْدَدُ الشُّوحِيُّ: ١ 1
Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
«لِلهِ السُّلْطَانُ وَالْهَيْبَةُ، يَصْنَعُ السَّلامَ فِي أَعَالِيهِ. ٢ 2
“Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven.
هَلْ مِنْ إِحْصَاءٍ لأَجْنَادِهِ، وَعَلَى مَنْ لَا يُشْرِقُ نُورُهُ؟ ٣ 3
Can His troops be numbered? On whom does His light not rise?
فَكَيْفَ يَتَبَرَّرُ الإِنْسَانُ عِنْدَ اللهِ، وَكَيْفَ يَزْكُو مَوْلُودُ الْمَرْأَةِ؟ ٤ 4
How then can a man be just before God? How can one born of woman be pure?
فَإِنْ كَانَ الْقَمَرُ لَا يُضِيءُ، وَالْكَوَاكِبُ غَيْرَ نَقِيَّةٍ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ، ٥ 5
If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His sight,
فَكَمْ بِالْحَرِيِّ الإِنْسَانُ الرِّمَّةُ وَابْنُ آدَمَ الدُّودُ؟» ٦ 6
how much less man, who is but a maggot, and the son of man, who is but a worm!”
