Mawu a Bilidadi

25 Apo Bilidadi wa ku Suki anayankha kuti,

“Ulamuliro ndi kuopsa ndi za Mulungu,
    Iye amakhazikitsa bata mu ufumu wake kumwambako.
Kodi magulu ake ankhondo nʼkuwerengeka?
    Kodi kuwala kwake sikuwalira ndani?
Kodi munthu angakhale bwanji wolungama pamaso pa Mulungu?
    Kodi munthu wobadwa mwa mayi angakhale wangwiro?
Ngati mwezi sutha kuwala kwenikweni,
    ndipo nyenyezi sizitha kuwala pamaso pake,
nanji tsono munthu amene ali ngati mphutsi,
    mwana wa munthu amene ali ngati nyongolotsi!”

Bildad

25 Then Bildad the Shuhite(A) replied:

“Dominion and awe belong to God;(B)
    he establishes order in the heights of heaven.(C)
Can his forces be numbered?
    On whom does his light not rise?(D)
How then can a mortal be righteous before God?
    How can one born of woman be pure?(E)
If even the moon(F) is not bright
    and the stars are not pure in his eyes,(G)
how much less a mortal, who is but a maggot—
    a human being,(H) who is only a worm!”(I)
