Ayubu 25

1 Ndipo Bildadi Mshuhi akajibu:

Then responded Bildad the Shuhite, and said: —

2 “Mamlaka na kuheshimiwa ni vyake Mungu; yeye huthibitisha amani katika mbingu juu.

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

3 Je, majeshi yake yaweza kuhesabika? Ni nani asiyeangaziwa na nuru yake?

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

4 Mtu awezaje kuwa mwadilifu mbele za Mungu? Awezaje mtu aliyezaliwa na mwanamke kuwa safi?

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

5 Ikiwa hata mwezi sio mwangavu nazo nyota si safi machoni pake,

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

6 sembuse mtu ambaye ni funza: mwanadamu ambaye ni buu tu!”

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