Job 25

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

Kwathi-ke uBhilidadi umShuhi waphendula wathi:

2 “Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven.

“Umbuso lesizotha kukuye uNkulunkulu; nguye omisa konke ngemfanelo ezulwini eliphezulu.

3 Can His troops be numbered? On whom does His light not rise?

Amabutho akhe angabalwa na? Ngubani ongaphunyelwa yikukhanya kwakhe na?

4 How then can a man be just before God? How can one born of woman be pure?

Pho umuntu angaba ngolungileyo njani kuNkulunkulu na? Angenza njani ozelwe ngowesifazane ukuthi ahlanzeke na?

5 If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His sight,

Khangela, nxa inyanga ngokwayo ingakhazimuli, lezinkanyezi zingahlanzekanga emehlweni akhe,

6 how much less man, who is but a maggot, and the son of man, who is but a worm!”

pho umuntu-ke usilela kanganani, oyimpethu nje, umuntu, oyinhlava nje kuphela!”
