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 maintaineth 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 numbering of his hosts? 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 righteous before? Or how can he be pure that is born of woman?

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

Behold, even the moon, it shineth not; 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, a worm; And the son of man, a reptile!
