Yobo 25

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

Then answered Bildad the Shuchite, and said,

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

Dominion and dread are with him: he maketh peace in high places.

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

Can the number of his hosts be given? and over whom riseth not his light?

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

How then can man be justified with God? or how can be one that is born of woman?

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

Behold, even as regardeth the moon, that is not bright; yea, the stars are not pure 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 the mortal, the mere worm? and the son of earth, the mere maggot?
