Job 25

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite spoke up and said,

Bilidadi, moto ya Shuwa, azwaki maloba mpe alobaki:

2 “Dominion and awe belong to God. He brings peace to his heavens.

« Bokonzi mpe somo ezali ya Nzambe; atiaka kimia na bisika na Ye ya likolo.

3 Who can count his armies? Is there anywhere his light doesn't shine?

Boni, bakoki kotanga mampinga na Ye ya lola? Na likolo ya nani pole ya Nzambe engengaka te?

4 How can a human being be right before God? Can anyone born of woman be pure?

Ndenge nini moto akoki kozala sembo na miso ya Nzambe? Ndenge nini moto oyo abotami na mwasi akoki kozala peto?

5 If in God's eyes even the moon does not shine brightly, and the stars are not pure,

Soki kutu sanza ezali kongenga te, mpe minzoto ezali peto te, na miso na Ye,

6 how much less a human being—who by comparison is like a maggot or a worm!”

toloba nini mpo na moto oyo azali se mutsopi, mpo na mwana na moto oyo azali kaka nyama moke ya pamba! »
