UJobe 25

1 Wasephendula uBilidadi umShuhi wathi:

And Bildad the Shuhite answers and says:

2 Ukubusa lokwesabeka kulaye; uyenza ukuthula endaweni zakhe eziphezulu.

“The rule and fear [are] with Him, Making peace in His high places.

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

Is their [any] number to His troops? And on whom does His light not arise?

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

And what? Is man righteous with God? And what? Is he pure—born of a woman?

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

Behold—to the moon, and it does not shine, And stars have not been pure in His eyes.

6 Pho kangakanani umuntu oyimpethu, lendodana yomuntu engumswenya!

How much less man—a grub, And the son of man—a worm!”
