Yobu 25

1 Apo Bilidadi wa ku Suki anayankha kuti,

And Bildad the Shuhite answers and says:

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

“The rule and fear [are] with Him, Making peace in His high places.

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

Is their [any] number to His troops? And on whom does His light not arise?

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

And what? Is man righteous with God? And what? Is he pure—born of a woman?

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

Behold—to the moon, and it does not shine, And stars have not been pure in His eyes.

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

How much less man—a grub, And the son of man—a worm!”
