Job 25

1 Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,

Bildad, Suhitɔ ɖo eŋu nɛ be,

2 What beginning or fear is his—even he that makes all things in the highest?

“Dziɖuɖu kple ŋɔdzi nye Mawu tɔ, eyae ɖo ɖoɖo anyi ɖe dziƒo ƒe kɔkɔƒewo.

3 For let none think that there is a respite for robbers: and upon whom will there not come a snare from him?

Ɖe woate ŋu axlẽ eƒe aʋakɔwoa? Ame ka tame eƒe kekeli meklẽ ɖo o?

4 For how shall a mortal be just before the Lord? or who that is born of a woman shall purify himself?

Ekema aleke amegbetɔ anye dzɔdzɔetɔ le Mawu ŋkume? Aleke amegbetɔ, nyɔnu tɔ dzidzia, anɔ dzadzɛe?

5 If he gives an order to the moon, then it shines not; and the stars are not pure before him.

Ne ɣleti ƒe keklẽ menye naneke nɛ o eye ɣletiviwo hã medza le eŋkume o la,

6 But alas! man is corruption, and the son of man a worm.

aleke amegbetɔ si nye ŋɔvi kple ame vi si nye ŋɔ la ayi nane nye ge le eŋkume!”
