UJobe 25

1 Wasephendula uBilidadi umShuhi wathi:

Then Bildad the Shuhite spoke up and said,

2 Ukubusa lokwesabeka kulaye; uyenza ukuthula endaweni zakhe eziphezulu.

“Dominion and awe belong to God. He brings peace to his heavens.

3 Kukhona inani yini lamabutho akhe? Ngubani okungamphumeliyo ukukhanya kwakhe?

Who can count his armies? Is there anywhere his light doesn't shine?

4 Pho umuntu angalunga njani kuNkulunkulu? Kumbe ozelwe ngowesifazana angahlambuluka njani?

How can a human being be right before God? Can anyone born of woman be pure?

5 Khangela kuze kube senyangeni, njalo kayikhazimuli, lezinkanyezi kazihlambulukanga emehlweni akhe.

If in God's eyes even the moon does not shine brightly, and the stars are not pure,

6 Pho kangakanani umuntu oyimpethu, lendodana yomuntu engumswenya!

how much less a human being—who by comparison is like a maggot or a worm!”
