Hiob 25

1 Bildad, Suhitɔ ɖo eŋu nɛ be,

And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: —

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

The rule and fear [are] with Him, Making peace in His high places.

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

Is their [any] number to His troops? And on whom ariseth not His light?

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

And what? is man righteous with God? And what? is he pure — born of a woman?

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

Lo — unto the moon, and it shineth not, And stars have not been 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 man — a grub, And the son of man — a worm!
