Yobu 25

1 Apo Bilidadi wa ku Suki anayankha kuti,

Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

2 “Ulamuliro ndi kuopsa ndi za Mulungu, Iye amakhazikitsa bata mu ufumu wake kumwambako.

“Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven.

3 Kodi magulu ake ankhondo nʼkuwerengeka? Kodi kuwala kwake sikuwalira ndani?

Can His troops be numbered? On whom does His light not rise?

4 Kodi munthu angakhale bwanji wolungama pamaso pa Mulungu? Kodi munthu wobadwa mwa mayi angakhale wangwiro?

How then can a man be just before God? How can one born of woman be pure?

5 Ngati mwezi sutha kuwala kwenikweni, ndipo nyenyezi sizitha kuwala pamaso pake,

If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His sight,

6 nanji tsono munthu amene ali ngati mphutsi, mwana wa munthu amene ali ngati nyongolotsi!”

how much less man, who is but a maggot, and the son of man, who is but a worm!”
