أَيُّوبَ 25

١ 1 فَأَجَابَ بِلْدَدُ ٱلشُّوحِيُّ وَقَالَ:

And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: —

٢ 2 «ٱلسُّلْطَانُ وَٱلْهَيْبَةُ عِنْدَهُ. هُوَ صَانِعُ ٱلسَّلَامِ فِي أَعَالِيهِ.

The rule and fear [are] with Him, Making peace in His high places.

٣ 3 هَلْ مِنْ عَدَدٍ لِجُنُودِهِ؟ وَعَلَى مَنْ لَا يُشْرِقُ نُورُهُ؟

Is their [any] number to His troops? And on whom ariseth not His light?

٤ 4 فَكَيْفَ يَتَبَرَّرُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ؟ وَكَيْفَ يَزْكُو مَوْلُودُ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ؟

And what? is man righteous with God? And what? is he pure — born of a woman?

٥ 5 هُوَذَا نَفْسُ ٱلْقَمَرِ لَا يُضِيءُ، وَٱلْكَوَاكِبُ غَيْرُ نَقِيَّةٍ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ.

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

٦ 6 فَكَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلرِّمَّةُ، وَٱبْنُ آدَمَ ٱلدُّودُ؟».

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