Yobo 25

1 Bilidadi, moto ya Shuwa, azwaki maloba mpe alobaki:

Then Bildad the Shuhite made answer and said,

2 « Bokonzi mpe somo ezali ya Nzambe; atiaka kimia na bisika na Ye ya likolo.

Rule and power are his; he makes peace in his high places.

3 Boni, bakoki kotanga mampinga na Ye ya lola? Na likolo ya nani pole ya Nzambe engengaka te?

Is it possible for his armies to be numbered? and on whom is not his light shining?

4 Ndenge nini moto akoki kozala sembo na miso ya Nzambe? Ndenge nini moto oyo abotami na mwasi akoki kozala peto?

How then is it possible for man to be upright before God? or how may he be clean who is a son of woman?

5 Soki kutu sanza ezali kongenga te, mpe minzoto ezali peto te, na miso na Ye,

See, even the moon is not bright, and the stars are not clean in his eyes:

6 toloba nini mpo na moto oyo azali se mutsopi, mpo na mwana na moto oyo azali kaka nyama moke ya pamba! »

How much less man who is an insect, and the son of man who is a worm!
