< UJobe 25 >
1 Wasephendula uBilidadi umShuhi wathi:
Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
2 Ukubusa lokwesabeka kulaye; uyenza ukuthula endaweni zakhe eziphezulu.
"Dominion and fear are with him. He makes peace in his high places.
3 Kukhona inani yini lamabutho akhe? Ngubani okungamphumeliyo ukukhanya kwakhe?
Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise?
4 Pho umuntu angalunga njani kuNkulunkulu? Kumbe ozelwe ngowesifazana angahlambuluka njani?
How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?
5 Khangela kuze kube senyangeni, njalo kayikhazimuli, lezinkanyezi kazihlambulukanga emehlweni akhe.
Look, even the moon has no brightness, and the stars are not pure in his sight;
6 Pho kangakanani umuntu oyimpethu, lendodana yomuntu engumswenya!
How much less man, who is a worm, the son of man, who is a worm."
