Ioba 25

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

And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: —

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

The rule and fear [are] with Him, Making 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 their [any] number to His troops? And on whom ariseth 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?

And what? is man righteous with God? And what? is he pure — 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:

Lo — unto the moon, and it shineth not, And stars have not been pure in His eyes.

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

How much less man — a grub, And the son of man — a worm!
