Yobu 25

1 Apo Bilidadi wa ku Suki anayankha kuti,

Then responded Bildad the Shuhite, and said: —

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

Dominion and dread, are with him, who causeth prosperity among his lofty ones;

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

Is there any number to his troops? And upon whom ariseth not his light?

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

How then shall, a mortal, be just with GOD? Or how shall he be pure who is born of a woman?

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

Look as far as the moon, and it is not clear, and, the stars, are not bright in his eyes!

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

How much less a mortal who is a creeping thing? Or a son of the earth-born who is a worm?
