Yobu 25

1 Awo Birudaadi Omusuki n’addamu n’ayogera nti,

Then responded Bildad the Shuhite, and said: —

2 “Okufuga kwa Katonda n’entiisa ya Katonda; ateekawo enkola entuufu mu bifo ebya waggulu mu ggulu.

Dominion and dread, are with him, who causeth prosperity among his lofty ones;

3 Amaggye ge gasobola okubalibwa? Ani atayakirwa musana gwe?

Is there any number to his troops? And upon whom ariseth not his light?

4 Olwo omuntu ayinza atya okwelowooza nti mutuukirivu awali Katonda? Omuntu eyazaalibwa omukazi ayinza atya okuba omulongoofu?

How then shall, a mortal, be just with GOD? Or how shall he be pure who is born of a woman?

5 Laba n’omwezi tegulina bye gwaka, n’emmunyeenye si nnongoofu mu maaso ge.

Look as far as the moon, and it is not clear, and, the stars, are not bright in his eyes!

6 Ate omuntu obuntu oyo envunyu obuvunyu, omwana w’omuntu, oyo olusiriŋŋanyi, ayinza atya okwelowooza nti mulongoofu!”

How much less a mortal who is a creeping thing? Or a son of the earth-born who is a worm?
