< Job 25 >

1 Then responded Bildad the Shuhite, and said: —
فَقَالَ بِلْدَدُ الشُّوحِيُّ:١
2 Dominion and dread, are with him, who causeth prosperity among his lofty ones;
«لِلهِ السُّلْطَانُ وَالْهَيْبَةُ، يَصْنَعُ السَّلامَ فِي أَعَالِيهِ.٢
3 Is there any number to his troops? And upon whom ariseth not his light?
هَلْ مِنْ إِحْصَاءٍ لأَجْنَادِهِ، وَعَلَى مَنْ لَا يُشْرِقُ نُورُهُ؟٣
4 How then shall, a mortal, be just with GOD? Or how shall he be pure who is born of a woman?
فَكَيْفَ يَتَبَرَّرُ الإِنْسَانُ عِنْدَ اللهِ، وَكَيْفَ يَزْكُو مَوْلُودُ الْمَرْأَةِ؟٤
5 Look as far as the moon, and it is not clear, and, the stars, are not bright in his eyes!
فَإِنْ كَانَ الْقَمَرُ لَا يُضِيءُ، وَالْكَوَاكِبُ غَيْرَ نَقِيَّةٍ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ،٥
6 How much less a mortal who is a creeping thing? Or a son of the earth-born who is a worm?
فَكَمْ بِالْحَرِيِّ الإِنْسَانُ الرِّمَّةُ وَابْنُ آدَمَ الدُّودُ؟»٦
