Job 25

1 Mgbe ahụ, Bildad onye Shua zara sị:

Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,

2 “Ike ọchịchị na oke egwu bụ nke Chineke; Ọ bụ ya na-eme ka udo dịrị nʼeluigwe.

What beginning or fear is his—even he that makes all things in the highest?

3 Onye pụrụ ịgụta usuu ndị agha ya ọnụ? Onye kwa ka ìhè ya na-adịghị enwukwasị?

For let none think that there is a respite for robbers: and upon whom will there not come a snare from him?

4 Mmadụ ọ ga-esi aṅaa bụrụ onye ezi omume nʼihu Chineke? Mmadụ nwanyị mụrụ ọ ga-esi aṅaa dị ọcha?

For how shall a mortal be just before the Lord? or who that is born of a woman shall purify himself?

5 Lee, ọ bụladị ọnwa adịghị achawapụta, ọzọ kpakpando adịghị ọcha nʼanya ya,

If he gives an order to the moon, then it shines not; and the stars are not pure before him.

6 ka ọfọdụzie nwa mmadụ efu mụrụ, nke bụ naanị ikpuru, mmadụ, nke bụ naanị idide.”

But alas! man is corruption, and the son of man a worm.
