JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe Pilitati mei Suaa, ʻo ne pehē,
1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
2“ʻOku ʻiate ia ʻae pule mo e manavahēʻia, ʻoku ne fakamelino ʻi hono ngaahi potu māʻolunga.
2Dominion and fear are with Him; He maketh peace in His high places.
3He ʻoku faʻa lauʻi ʻa ʻene ngaahi matatau? Pea ko hai ia ʻoku ʻikai hopo ki ai ʻa ʻene maama?
3Is there any number of His armies? And upon whom doth not His light arise?
4Pea ka kuo pehē, ʻe faʻa fakatonuhia fēfē ʻae tangata mo e ʻOtua? Pea ʻe maʻa fēfē ʻaia kuo fanauʻi ʻe he fefine?
4How then can man be just with God? Or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
5Vakai pē ki he māhina, pea ʻoku ʻikai huhulu ia; ʻio, ko e ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoku ʻikai maʻa ʻi hono ʻao.
5Behold, even the moon hath no brightness, and the stars are not pure in His sight;
6Ka ʻe huanoa ʻae tangata ʻaia ko e kelemutu? Mo e foha ʻoe tangata, ʻaia ko e kelemutu?”
6How much less man, that is a worm! and the son of man, that is a maggot!
