Hopa 25

1 Ano ra ko Pirirara Huhi; i mea ia,

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:

2 Kei a ia te kingitanga me te wehi: ko ia hei hohou i te rongo i ona wahi tiketike.

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

3 E taea ranei ana ope te tatau? ko wai hoki i kore te whitingia e tona marama?

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

4 A ma te aha ra te tangata ka whakatikaia mai ai e te Atua? Ma te aha ka ma ai te whanau a te wahine?

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

5 Nana, ko te marama, kahore ona tiahotanga, kahore hoki nga whetu kia ma ki tana titiro:

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

6 Kia iti rawa iho to te tangata, he kutukutu nei! to te tama a te tangata, he iro nei!

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