Hiob 25

1 Bildad, Suhitɔ ɖo eŋu nɛ be,

Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

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

“Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven.

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

Can His troops be numbered? On whom does His light not rise?

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

How then can a man be just before God? How can one born of woman be pure?

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

If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His sight,

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

how much less man, who is but a maggot, and the son of man, who is but a worm!”
