< Job 25 >

1 And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: —
فَقَالَ بِلْدَدُ الشُّوحِيُّ:١
2 The rule and fear [are] with Him, Making peace in His high places.
«لِلهِ السُّلْطَانُ وَالْهَيْبَةُ، يَصْنَعُ السَّلامَ فِي أَعَالِيهِ.٢
3 Is their [any] number to His troops? And on whom ariseth not His light?
هَلْ مِنْ إِحْصَاءٍ لأَجْنَادِهِ، وَعَلَى مَنْ لَا يُشْرِقُ نُورُهُ؟٣
4 And what? is man righteous with God? And what? is he pure — born of a woman?
فَكَيْفَ يَتَبَرَّرُ الإِنْسَانُ عِنْدَ اللهِ، وَكَيْفَ يَزْكُو مَوْلُودُ الْمَرْأَةِ؟٤
5 Lo — unto the moon, and it shineth not, And stars have not been pure in His eyes.
فَإِنْ كَانَ الْقَمَرُ لَا يُضِيءُ، وَالْكَوَاكِبُ غَيْرَ نَقِيَّةٍ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ،٥
6 How much less man — a grub, And the son of man — a worm!
فَكَمْ بِالْحَرِيِّ الإِنْسَانُ الرِّمَّةُ وَابْنُ آدَمَ الدُّودُ؟»٦
