Ayubu 25

1 Ndipo Bildadi Mshuhi akajibu:

And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: —

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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