Yobo 25

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

And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,

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

Dominion and fear are with him; he maketh peace in his high places.

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

Is there any number of his troops? and upon whom doth not his light arise?

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

And how should man be just with God? Or how should he be clean that is born of a woman?

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

Lo, even the moon is not bright; and the stars are not pure in his sight:

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, a worm, and the son of man, a worm!
