UJobe 25

1 Kwathi-ke uBhilidadi umShuhi waphendula wathi:

And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,

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

Dominion and fear are with him; he maketh peace in his high places.

3 Amabutho akhe angabalwa na? Ngubani ongaphunyelwa yikukhanya kwakhe na?

Is there any number of his troops? and upon whom doth not his light arise?

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

And how should man be just with God? Or how should he be clean that is born of a woman?

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

Lo, even the moon is not bright; and the stars are not pure in his sight:

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

How much less man, a worm, and the son of man, a worm!
