Iyyoob 25

1 Bildaad Shuhaahichi akkana jedhee deebise:

Then Baldad the Suhite answered, and I said:

2 “Mootummaa fi sodaatamuun kan Waaqaa ti; inni samiiwwan ol fagoo keessatti nagaa buusa.

Power and terror are with him, who maketh peace in his high places.

3 Loltoonni isaa lakkaaʼamuu dandaʼuu? Ifni isaa eenyu irratti utuu hin baʼin hafa?

Is there any numbering of his soldiers? and upon whom shall not his light arise?

4 Yoos namni akkamitti fuula Waaqaa duratti qajeelaa taʼuu dandaʼa ree? Namni dubartii irraa dhalate akkamitti qulqulluu taʼuu dandaʼa?

Can man be justified compared with God, or he that is born of a woman appear clean?

5 Yoo jiʼi illee fuula isaa duratti hin ifne, yoo urjiiwwanis ija isaa duratti qulqulluu taʼuu baatan,

Behold even the moon doth not shine, and the stars are not pure in his sight.

6 namni raammoo foonii taʼe, ilmi namaa kan raammoo taʼe sun hammam kanaa gad haa taʼu ree!”

How much less man that is rottenness and the son of man who is a worm?
