Job 25

1 Then Bildad [also] replied,

Ndipo Bildadi Mshuhi akajibu:

2 “God is very powerful; everyone should have an awesome respect for him; he causes everything to be peaceful high up in heaven.

“Mamlaka na kuheshimiwa ni vyake Mungu; yeye huthibitisha amani katika mbingu juu.

3 (Can anyone count the angels who are in his army [in heaven]?/No one can count the angels who are in his army [in heaven].) [RHQ] (Is there any place where his light does not shine?/There is no place where his light does not shine.) [RHQ]

Je, majeshi yake yaweza kuhesabika? Ni nani asiyeangaziwa na nuru yake?

4 So, (how can God consider anyone to be righteous?/God certainly cannot consider anyone to be righteous.) [RHQ] (How can any human being be truly pure?/No human being can be truly pure.) [RHQ]

Mtu awezaje kuwa mwadilifu mbele za Mungu? Awezaje mtu aliyezaliwa na mwanamke kuwa safi?

5 Consider this: God does not even consider the full moon to be bright, and he does not consider the stars to be spotless.

Ikiwa hata mwezi sio mwangavu nazo nyota si safi machoni pake,

6 So, (what about humans?/he does not consider humans [to be important].) [RHQ] They are [as insignificant as] [MET] maggots. [God does not think more highly of] people [than he thinks of] worms.”

sembuse mtu ambaye ni funza: mwanadamu ambaye ni buu tu!”
