ଆୟୁବ 25

1 ଏଥିରେ ଶୂହୀୟ ବିଲ୍‍ଦଦ୍‍ ଉତ୍ତର କରି କହିଲା,

Then Bildad [also] replied,

2 “ପ୍ରଭୁତ୍ୱ ଓ ଭୟ ତାହାଙ୍କଠାରେ ଥାଏ; ସେ ଆପଣା ଉଚ୍ଚସ୍ଥାନରେ ଶାନ୍ତି ସମ୍ପାଦନ କରନ୍ତି।

“God is very powerful; everyone should have an awesome respect for him; he causes everything to be peaceful high up in heaven.

3 ତାହାଙ୍କ ସୈନ୍ୟଦଳର କି କୌଣସି ସଂଖ୍ୟା ଅଛି? କାହା ଉପରେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଦୀପ୍ତି ଉଦିତ ନ ହୁଏ?

(Can anyone count the angels who are in his army [in heaven]?/No one can count the angels who are in his army [in heaven].) [RHQ] (Is there any place where his light does not shine?/There is no place where his light does not shine.) [RHQ]

4 ତେବେ ମନୁଷ୍ୟ କିପରି ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ଛାମୁରେ ଧାର୍ମିକ ହୋଇ ପାରିବ? ଅବା ସ୍ତ୍ରୀଜାତ ଲୋକ କିପରି ଶୁଚି ହୋଇ ପାରିବ?

So, (how can God consider anyone to be righteous?/God certainly cannot consider anyone to be righteous.) [RHQ] (How can any human being be truly pure?/No human being can be truly pure.) [RHQ]

5 ଦେଖ, ତାହାଙ୍କ ଦୃଷ୍ଟିରେ ଚନ୍ଦ୍ର ହିଁ ନିସ୍ତେଜ ଅଟେ ଓ ତାରାଗଣ ନିର୍ମଳ ନୁହନ୍ତି;

Consider this: God does not even consider the full moon to be bright, and he does not consider the stars to be spotless.

6 ତେବେ କୀଟମାତ୍ର ମନୁଷ୍ୟ କʼଣ! ଓ କୃମିମାତ୍ର ମନୁଷ୍ୟ-ସନ୍ତାନ କʼଣ?”

So, (what about humans?/he does not consider humans [to be important].) [RHQ] They are [as insignificant as] [MET] maggots. [God does not think more highly of] people [than he thinks of] worms.”
