Ayubu 25

1 Nake Bilidadi ũrĩa Mũshuhi agĩcookia atĩrĩ:

Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,

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

What beginning or fear is his—even he that makes all things in the highest?

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

For let none think that there is a respite for robbers: and upon whom will there not come a snare from him?

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

For how shall a mortal be just before the Lord? or who that is born of a woman shall purify himself?

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

If he gives an order to the moon, then it shines not; and the stars are not pure before him.

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

But alas! man is corruption, and the son of man a worm.
