Yobo 25

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

And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: —

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

The rule and fear [are] with Him, Making peace in His high places.

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

Is their [any] number to His troops? And on whom ariseth not His light?

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

And what? is man righteous with God? And what? is he pure — born of a woman?

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

Lo — unto the moon, and it shineth not, And stars have not been 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 man — a grub, And the son of man — a worm!
