Hiob 25

1 Bildad, Suhitɔ ɖo eŋu nɛ be,

Then Bildad the Shuhite spoke up and said,

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

“Dominion and awe belong to God. He brings peace to his heavens.

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

Who can count his armies? Is there anywhere his light doesn't shine?

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

How can a human being be right before God? Can anyone born of woman be pure?

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

If in God's eyes even the moon does not shine brightly, and the stars are not pure,

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

how much less a human being—who by comparison is like a maggot or a worm!”
