< Job 25 >

1 Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,
Nake Bilidadi ũrĩa Mũshuhi agĩcookia atĩrĩ:
2 What beginning or fear is his—even he that makes all things in the highest?
“Wathani na gwĩtigĩrwo nĩ cia Ngai; nĩwe ũhaandaga watho kũu igũrũ o igũrũ mũno.
3 For let none think that there is a respite for robbers: and upon whom will there not come a snare from him?
Mbũtũ ciake no itarĩke? Nũũ ũtaaragĩrwo nĩ ũtheri wake?
4 For how shall a mortal be just before the Lord? or who that is born of a woman shall purify himself?
Mũndũ aakĩhota atĩa gũkorwo arĩ mũthingu mbere ya Mũrungu? Mũndũ ũciarĩtwo nĩ mũndũ-wa-nja-rĩ, akĩhota atĩa gũtuĩka mũtheru?
5 If he gives an order to the moon, then it shines not; and the stars are not pure before him.
Angĩkorwo o na mweri ti mũcangararu, na njata ti theru maitho-inĩ make-rĩ,
6 But alas! man is corruption, and the son of man a worm.
mũndũ na no ta kĩgunyũ, o we mũrũ wa mũndũ-rĩ, ndakĩrĩ mũnyiihĩre mũno makĩrĩa!”
