¹Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,

¹¶ Ano ra ko Pirirara Huhi; i mea ia,

²“Dominion and fear are with him. He makes peace in his high places.

²Kei a ia te kingitanga me te wehi: ko ia hei hohou i te rongo i ona wahi tiketike.

³Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise?

³E taea ranei ana ope te tatau? ko wai hoki i kore te whitingia e tona marama?

⁴How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?

⁴A ma te aha ra te tangata ka whakatikaia mai ai e te Atua? Ma te aha ka ma ai te whanau a te wahine?

⁵Behold, even the moon has no brightness, and the stars are not pure in his sight;

⁵Nana, ko te marama, kahore ona tiahotanga, kahore hoki nga whetu kia ma ki tana titiro:

⁶How much less man, who is a worm, the son of man, who is a worm!”

⁶Kia iti rawa iho to te tangata, he kutukutu nei! to te tama a te tangata, he iro nei!
