Ayubu 25

1 Nake Bilidadi ũrĩa Mũshuhi agĩcookia atĩrĩ:

Then responded Bildad the Shuhite, and said: —

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

Dominion and dread, are with him, who causeth prosperity among his lofty ones;

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

Is there any number to his troops? And upon whom ariseth not his light?

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

How then shall, a mortal, be just with GOD? Or how shall he be pure who is born of a woman?

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

Look as far as the moon, and it is not clear, and, the stars, are not bright in his eyes!

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

How much less a mortal who is a creeping thing? Or a son of the earth-born who is a worm?
