¹Markaasaa Bildad oo ahaa reer Shuuxii u jawaabay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

¹And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: —

²Dowladnimo iyo cabsiba isagaa leh, Oo meelihiisa sarena nabad buu ka dhigaa.

²The rule and fear [are] with Him, Making peace in His high places.

³Ciidammadiisu ma tiray leeyihiin? Oo yuu yahay kan aan iftiinkiisu ku soo bixin?

³Is their [any] number to His troops? And on whom ariseth not His light?

⁴Balse sidee baa nin u kari karaa inuu Ilaah hortiisa xaq ku ahaado? Mid naagu dhashayse sidee buu u karaa inuu nadiif ahaado?

⁴And what? is man righteous with God? And what? is he pure — born of a woman?

⁵Bal eeg, xataa dayuxu hortiisa nuur kuma leh, Oo xiddiguhuna hortiisa daahir kuma aha.Intee buu ka sii liitaa nin dirxi ahu! Iyo binu-aadmiga dirxiga ahu!

⁵Lo — unto the moon, and it shineth not, And stars have not been pure in His eyes.

⁶Intee buu ka sii liitaa nin dirxi ahu! Iyo binu-aadmiga dirxiga ahu!

⁶How much less man — a grub, And the son of man — a worm!
