Yobo 25

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

Then 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 makes order in his high places of heaven.

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

Is there any end to the number of his armies? Upon whom does his light not shine?

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 righteous with God? How can he who is born of a woman be clean, acceptable to him?

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

See, even the moon has no brightness to him; 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, who is a worm— a son of man, who is a worm!”
