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 justified 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 to the moon, and 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, [that is] a worm; and the son of man, [who is] a worm?
