Ioba 25

1 A LAILA olelo aku la o Biledada, no Suha, i aku la,

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:

2 Ia ia no ke alii ana a me ka makaulia, A hana no ia i ke kuikahi ma kona mau wahi kiekie.

Dominion and fear are with Him; He maketh peace in His high places.

3 Ua heluia anei kona mau poe koa? A maluna owai la i puka ole mai ai kona malamalama?

Is there any number of His armies? And upon whom doth not His light arise?

4 A pehea la e hoaponoia'i ke kanaka imua o ke Akua? A pehea la e maemae ai ka mea i hanauia e ka wahine?

How then can man be just with God? Or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

5 E nana i ka mahina, aole ia e aiai; A o na hoku aole e maemae imua o kona maka:

Behold, even the moon hath no brightness, and the stars are not pure in His sight;

6 Pehea la hoi ke kanaka, he enuhe; A me ke keiki a ke kanaka, he ilo?

How much less man, that is a worm! and the son of man, that is a maggot!
