Joba 25

1 Dia namaly Bildada Sohita ka nanao hoe.

Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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