Jobho 25

1 Ipapo Bhiridhadhi muShuhi akapindura akati:

Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,

2 “Kubata ushe nokutyiwa ndezvaMwari; uye anosimbisa rugare kumusoro-soro kudenga.

What beginning or fear is his—even he that makes all things in the highest?

3 Mauto ake angaverengwa here? Ndianiko asingavhenekerwi nechiedza chake?

For let none think that there is a respite for robbers: and upon whom will there not come a snare from him?

4 Zvino munhu angava akarurama seiko pamberi paMwari? Ko, munhu akazvarwa nomukadzi angava akachena sei?

For how shall a mortal be just before the Lord? or who that is born of a woman shall purify himself?

5 Kunyange dai mwedzi ukasachena, uye nyeredzi dzikasava dzakachena pamberi pake,

If he gives an order to the moon, then it shines not; and the stars are not pure before him.

6 ndoda munhu zvake, iro gonye zvaro, iye mwanakomana womunhu, anongova gonye zvaro!”

But alas! man is corruption, and the son of man a worm.
