Yobo 25

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

Then Baldad the Suhite answered, and I said:

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

Power and terror are with him, who 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 numbering of his soldiers? and upon whom shall 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?

Can man be justified compared with God, or he that is born of a woman appear clean?

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

Behold even the moon doth not shine, 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 that is rottenness and the son of man who is a worm?
