< Job 25 >

1 Then answered Bildad the Shuchite, and said,
فَقَالَ بِلْدَدُ الشُّوحِيُّ:١
2 Dominion and dread are with him: he maketh peace in high places.
«لِلهِ السُّلْطَانُ وَالْهَيْبَةُ، يَصْنَعُ السَّلامَ فِي أَعَالِيهِ.٢
3 Can the number of his hosts be given? and over whom riseth not his light?
هَلْ مِنْ إِحْصَاءٍ لأَجْنَادِهِ، وَعَلَى مَنْ لَا يُشْرِقُ نُورُهُ؟٣
4 How then can man be justified with God? or how can be one that is born of woman?
فَكَيْفَ يَتَبَرَّرُ الإِنْسَانُ عِنْدَ اللهِ، وَكَيْفَ يَزْكُو مَوْلُودُ الْمَرْأَةِ؟٤
5 Behold, even as regardeth the moon, that is not bright; yea, the stars are not pure in his eyes.
فَإِنْ كَانَ الْقَمَرُ لَا يُضِيءُ، وَالْكَوَاكِبُ غَيْرَ نَقِيَّةٍ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ،٥
6 How much less the mortal, the mere worm? and the son of earth, the mere maggot?
فَكَمْ بِالْحَرِيِّ الإِنْسَانُ الرِّمَّةُ وَابْنُ آدَمَ الدُّودُ؟»٦
