< Job 25 >

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