< Job 25 >

1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
فَقَالَ بِلْدَدُ الشُّوحِيُّ:١
2 Dominion and fear are with Him; He maketh peace in His high places.
«لِلهِ السُّلْطَانُ وَالْهَيْبَةُ، يَصْنَعُ السَّلامَ فِي أَعَالِيهِ.٢
3 Is there any number of His armies? And upon whom doth not His light arise?
هَلْ مِنْ إِحْصَاءٍ لأَجْنَادِهِ، وَعَلَى مَنْ لَا يُشْرِقُ نُورُهُ؟٣
4 How then can man be just with God? Or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
فَكَيْفَ يَتَبَرَّرُ الإِنْسَانُ عِنْدَ اللهِ، وَكَيْفَ يَزْكُو مَوْلُودُ الْمَرْأَةِ؟٤
5 Behold, even the moon hath no brightness, 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, that is a worm! and the son of man, that is a maggot!
فَكَمْ بِالْحَرِيِّ الإِنْسَانُ الرِّمَّةُ وَابْنُ آدَمَ الدُّودُ؟»٦
