Ioba 25

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

Then answered Bildad the Shuchite, 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 dread are with him: he maketh peace in high places.

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

Can the number of his hosts be given? and over whom riseth not his light?

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 justified with God? or how can be one that is born of woman?

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

Behold, even as regardeth the moon, that is not bright; yea, the stars are not pure in his eyes.

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

How much less the mortal, the mere worm? and the son of earth, the mere maggot?
