Yobu 25

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

And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: —

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

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

3 Amaggye ge gasobola okubalibwa? Ani atayakirwa musana gwe?

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

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

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

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

Lo — unto the moon, and it shineth not, And stars have not been pure in His eyes.

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

How much less man — a grub, And the son of man — a worm!
