< Ayubu 25 >
1 Nake Bilidadi ũrĩa Mũshuhi agĩcookia atĩrĩ:
Then Baldad the Suhite answered by saying:
2 “Wathani na gwĩtigĩrwo nĩ cia Ngai; nĩwe ũhaandaga watho kũu igũrũ o igũrũ mũno.
Power and terror are with him that makes a pact with those in high places.
3 Mbũtũ ciake no itarĩke? Nũũ ũtaaragĩrwo nĩ ũtheri wake?
Is there any limit to the number of his soldiers or to the number of those over whom his light rises?
4 Mũndũ aakĩhota atĩa gũkorwo arĩ mũthingu mbere ya Mũrungu? Mũndũ ũciarĩtwo nĩ mũndũ-wa-nja-rĩ, akĩhota atĩa gũtuĩka mũtheru?
Is it right for man to compare himself to God, or to appear pure though he is born of woman?
5 Angĩkorwo o na mweri ti mũcangararu, na njata ti theru maitho-inĩ make-rĩ,
Behold, even the moon is not radiant, 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!”
Is man much more than rottenness and the son of man much more than worms?
