< Job 25 >
1 Nígbà náà ní Bilidadi, ará Ṣuhi, dáhùn wí pé,
Then Bildad the Shuhite made answer and said,
2 “Ìjọba àti ẹ̀rù ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run rẹ̀, òun ní i ṣe ìlàjà ní ibi gíga gíga ọ̀run.
Rule and power are his; he makes peace in his high places.
3 Àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀ ha ní ìyè bí, tàbí ara ta ni ìmọ́lẹ̀ rẹ̀ kò tàn sí?
Is it possible for his armies to be numbered? and on whom is not his light shining?
4 Èéha ti ṣe tí a ó fi dá ènìyàn láre lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run? Tàbí ẹni tí a bí láti inú obìnrin wá yóò ha ṣe mọ́?
How then is it possible for man to be upright before God? or how may he be clean who is a son of woman?
5 Kíyèsi i, òṣùpá kò sì lè tàn ìmọ́lẹ̀, àní àwọn ìràwọ̀ kò mọ́lẹ̀ ní ojú rẹ̀,
See, even the moon is not bright, and the stars are not clean in his eyes:
6 kí a má sọ ènìyàn tí i ṣe ìdin, àti ọmọ ènìyàn tí í ṣe kòkòrò!”
How much less man who is an insect, and the son of man who is a worm!
