Yobu 25

1 Apo Bilidadi wa ku Suki anayankha kuti,

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

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

Dominion and fear [are] with him, he maketh peace in his high places.

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

Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?

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

How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean [that is] born of a woman?

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

Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, 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, [that is] a worm? and the son of man, [which is] a worm?
