Jobho 25

1 Ipapo Bhiridhadhi muShuhi akapindura akati:

Then responded Bildad the Shuhite, and said: —

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

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

3 Mauto ake angaverengwa here? Ndianiko asingavhenekerwi nechiedza chake?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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