Yobu 25

1 Apo Bilidadi wa ku Suki anayankha kuti,

Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,

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

“Dominion and fear are with him; he makes order in his high places of heaven.

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

Is there any end to the number of his armies? Upon whom does his light not shine?

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

How then can man be righteous with God? How can he who is born of a woman be clean, acceptable to him?

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

See, even the moon has no brightness to him; 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 a worm— a son of man, who is a worm!”
