Job 25

1 Nígbà náà ní Bilidadi, ará Ṣuhi, dáhùn wí pé,

Then Bildad the Shuhite spoke up and said,

2 “Ìjọba àti ẹ̀rù ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run rẹ̀, òun ní i ṣe ìlàjà ní ibi gíga gíga ọ̀run.

“Dominion and awe belong to God. He brings peace to his heavens.

3 Àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀ ha ní ìyè bí, tàbí ara ta ni ìmọ́lẹ̀ rẹ̀ kò tàn sí?

Who can count his armies? Is there anywhere his light doesn't shine?

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 can a human being be right before God? Can anyone born of woman be pure?

5 Kíyèsi i, òṣùpá kò sì lè tàn ìmọ́lẹ̀, àní àwọn ìràwọ̀ kò mọ́lẹ̀ ní ojú rẹ̀,

If in God's eyes even the moon does not shine brightly, and the stars are not pure,

6 kí a má sọ ènìyàn tí i ṣe ìdin, àti ọmọ ènìyàn tí í ṣe kòkòrò!”

how much less a human being—who by comparison is like a maggot or a worm!”
