Job 25

1 Then Baldad the Sauchite answered and said,

Wasephendula uBilidadi umShuhi wathi:

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

Ukubusa lokwesabeka kulaye; uyenza ukuthula endaweni zakhe eziphezulu.

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

Kukhona inani yini lamabutho akhe? Ngubani okungamphumeliyo ukukhanya kwakhe?

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

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

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

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

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

Pho kangakanani umuntu oyimpethu, lendodana yomuntu engumswenya!
