Job 25

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite spoke up and said,

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

2 “Dominion and awe belong to God. He brings peace to his heavens.

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

3 Who can count his armies? Is there anywhere his light doesn't shine?

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

4 How can a human being be right before God? Can anyone 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 in God's eyes even the moon does not shine brightly, and the stars are not pure,

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 a human being—who by comparison is like a maggot or a worm!”

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