Ndipo Bildadi, Mshuhi, akajibu, na kusema,
Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
2
Enzi na hofu zi pamoja naye; Hufanya amani katika mahali pake palipoinuka.
“Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven.
3
Je! Majeshi yake yahesabika? Ni nani asiyetokewa na mwanga wake?
Can His troops be numbered? On whom does His light not rise?
4
Basi mtu awezaje kuwa na haki mbele ya Mungu? Au awezaje kuwa safi aliyezaliwa na mwanamke?
How then can a man be just before God? How can one born of woman be pure?
5
Tazama, hata mwezi hauangazi, Wala nyota si safi machoni pake;
If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His sight,
6
Siuze mtu, aliye mdudu! Na mwanadamu, ambaye ni buu!
how much less man, who is but a maggot, and the son of man, who is but a worm!”
