Hiob 25

1 Na Suhini Bildad buaa sɛ,

Then Bildad [also] replied,

2 “Tumi ne suro wɔ Onyankopɔn; ɔno na ɔhyehyɛ pɛpɛyɛ wɔ ɔsorosoro.

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

3 Wɔbɛtumi akan nʼakodɔm anaa? Hwan na ne hann nto ngu ne soɔ?

(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 Ɔdasani bɛtene Onyankopɔn anim sɛn, na ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na deɛ ɔbaa awo no ho bɛteɛ?

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 Mpo sɛ ɔsrane nhyerɛn na nsoromma ho nte wɔ nʼani so a,

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

6 na nkantom onipa a ɔte sɛ nsaama, onipa ba a ɔyɛ ɔsonsono kɛkɛ!”

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.”
