Hiob 25

1 Bildad, Suhitɔ ɖo eŋu nɛ be,

Then responded Bildad the Shuhite, and said: —

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

Dominion and dread, are with him, who causeth prosperity among his lofty ones;

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

Is there any number to his troops? And upon whom ariseth not his light?

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

How then shall, a mortal, be just with GOD? Or how shall he be pure who is born of a woman?

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

Look as far as the moon, and it is not clear, and, the stars, are not bright 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 a mortal who is a creeping thing? Or a son of the earth-born who is a worm?
