< Job 25 >
1 Nígbà náà ní Bilidadi, ará Ṣuhi, dáhùn wí pé,
Then Baldad the Suhite answered by saying:
2 “Ìjọba àti ẹ̀rù ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run rẹ̀, òun ní i ṣe ìlàjà ní ibi gíga gíga ọ̀run.
Power and terror are with him that makes a pact with those in high places.
3 Àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀ ha ní ìyè bí, tàbí ara ta ni ìmọ́lẹ̀ rẹ̀ kò tàn sí?
Is there any limit to the number of his soldiers or to the number of those over whom his light rises?
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?
Is it right for man to compare himself to God, or to appear pure though he is born of woman?
5 Kíyèsi i, òṣùpá kò sì lè tàn ìmọ́lẹ̀, àní àwọn ìràwọ̀ kò mọ́lẹ̀ ní ojú rẹ̀,
Behold, even the moon is not radiant, and the stars are not pure, in his sight.
6 kí a má sọ ènìyàn tí i ṣe ìdin, àti ọmọ ènìyàn tí í ṣe kòkòrò!”
Is man much more than rottenness and the son of man much more than worms?
