Job 25

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe Pilitati mei Suaa, ʻo ne pehē,

2 “Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven.

“ʻOku ʻiate ia ʻae pule mo e manavahēʻia, ʻoku ne fakamelino ʻi hono ngaahi potu māʻolunga.

3 Can His troops be numbered? On whom does His light not rise?

He ʻoku faʻa lauʻi ʻa ʻene ngaahi matatau? Pea ko hai ia ʻoku ʻikai hopo ki ai ʻa ʻene maama?

4 How then can a man be just before God? How can one born of woman be pure?

Pea ka kuo pehē, ʻe faʻa fakatonuhia fēfē ʻae tangata mo e ʻOtua? Pea ʻe maʻa fēfē ʻaia kuo fanauʻi ʻe he fefine?

5 If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His sight,

Vakai pē ki he māhina, pea ʻoku ʻikai huhulu ia; ʻio, ko e ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoku ʻikai maʻa ʻi hono ʻao.

6 how much less man, who is but a maggot, and the son of man, who is but a worm!”

Ka ʻe huanoa ʻae tangata ʻaia ko e kelemutu? Mo e foha ʻoe tangata, ʻaia ko e kelemutu?”
