Ayubu 25

1 Nake Bilidadi ũrĩa Mũshuhi agĩcookia atĩrĩ:

Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

2 “Wathani na gwĩtigĩrwo nĩ cia Ngai; nĩwe ũhaandaga watho kũu igũrũ o igũrũ mũno.

“Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven.

3 Mbũtũ ciake no itarĩke? Nũũ ũtaaragĩrwo nĩ ũtheri wake?

Can His troops be numbered? On whom does His light not rise?

4 Mũndũ aakĩhota atĩa gũkorwo arĩ mũthingu mbere ya Mũrungu? Mũndũ ũciarĩtwo nĩ mũndũ-wa-nja-rĩ, akĩhota atĩa gũtuĩka mũtheru?

How then can a man be just before God? How can one born of woman be pure?

5 Angĩkorwo o na mweri ti mũcangararu, na njata ti theru maitho-inĩ make-rĩ,

If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His sight,

6 mũndũ na no ta kĩgunyũ, o we mũrũ wa mũndũ-rĩ, ndakĩrĩ mũnyiihĩre mũno makĩrĩa!”

how much less man, who is but a maggot, and the son of man, who is but a worm!”
