UJobe 25

1 Wasephendula uBilidadi umShuhi wathi:

Then responded Bildad the Shuhite, and said: —

2 Ukubusa lokwesabeka kulaye; uyenza ukuthula endaweni zakhe eziphezulu.

Dominion and dread, are with him, who causeth prosperity among his lofty ones;

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

Is there any number to his troops? And upon whom ariseth not his light?

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

How then shall, a mortal, be just with GOD? Or how shall he be pure who is born of a woman?

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

Look as far as the moon, and it is not clear, and, the stars, are not bright in his eyes!

6 Pho kangakanani umuntu oyimpethu, lendodana yomuntu engumswenya!

How much less a mortal who is a creeping thing? Or a son of the earth-born who is a worm?
