UJobe 25

1 Wasephendula uBilidadi umShuhi wathi:

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:

2 Ukubusa lokwesabeka kulaye; uyenza ukuthula endaweni zakhe eziphezulu.

Dominion and fear are with Him; He maintaineth peace in his high places.

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

Is there any numbering of his hosts? And upon whom doth not his light arise?

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

How then can man be righteous before? Or how can he be pure that is born of woman?

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

Behold, even the moon, it shineth not; And the stars are not pure in his sight,

6 Pho kangakanani umuntu oyimpethu, lendodana yomuntu engumswenya!

How much less, man, a worm; And the son of man, a reptile!
