1 Ano ra ko Pirirara Huhi; i mea ia,2 Kei a ia te kingitanga me te wehi: ko ia hei hohou i te rongo i ona wahi tiketike.3 E taea ranei ana ope te tatau? ko wai hoki i kore te whitingia e tona marama?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?5 Nana, ko te marama, kahore ona tiahotanga, kahore hoki nga whetu kia ma ki tana titiro:6 Kia iti rawa iho to te tangata, he kutukutu nei! to te tama a te tangata, he iro nei!

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,

2 "Dominion and fear are with him.

He makes peace in his high places.

3 Can his armies be counted?

On whom does his light not arise?

4 How then can man be just with God?

Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?

5 Behold, even the moon has no brightness,

and the stars are not pure in his sight;

6 How much less man, who is a worm,

and the son of man, who is a worm!"
