Iyyoob 25

1 Bildaad Shuhaahichi akkana jedhee deebise:

Then answered Bildad the Shuchite, and said,

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

Dominion and dread are with him: he maketh peace in high places.

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

Can the number of his hosts be given? and over whom riseth not his light?

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

How then can man be justified with God? or how can be one that is born of woman?

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

Behold, even as regardeth the moon, that is not bright; yea, the stars are not pure in his eyes.

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

How much less the mortal, the mere worm? and the son of earth, the mere maggot?
