Joba 25

1 Dia namaly Bildada Sohita ka nanao hoe.

Then Bildad the Shuhite spoke up and said,

2 Fanapahana sy fampahatahorana no ao aminy, manao fihavanana any amin’ ny avo Izy.

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

3 Azo isaina va ny miaramilany? Ary fahazavan’ iza no tsy ihoaran’ ny Azy?

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

4 Ary aiza no hahamarina ny zanak’ olombelona eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra? Ary aiza no hadio izay tera-behivavy?

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

5 Indro, ny volana aza tsy mangarangarana, ary ny kintana aza tsy madio eo imasony;

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

6 Koa mainka fa ny olombelona, izay kankana, ary ny zanak’ olombelona, izay olitra.

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