Hiob 25

1 Bildad, Suhitɔ ɖo eŋu nɛ be,

Then answered Bildad the Shuchite, and said,

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

Dominion and dread are with him: he maketh peace in high places.

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

Can the number of his hosts be given? and over whom riseth not his light?

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

How then can man be justified with God? or how can be one that is born of woman?

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

Behold, even as regardeth the moon, that is not bright; yea, the stars are not pure in his eyes.

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

How much less the mortal, the mere worm? and the son of earth, the mere maggot?
