Job 25

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite spoke up and said,

Wasephendula uBilidadi umShuhi wathi:

2 “Dominion and awe belong to God. He brings peace to his heavens.

Ukubusa lokwesabeka kulaye; uyenza ukuthula endaweni zakhe eziphezulu.

3 Who can count his armies? Is there anywhere his light doesn't shine?

Kukhona inani yini lamabutho akhe? Ngubani okungamphumeliyo ukukhanya kwakhe?

4 How can a human being be right before God? Can anyone born of woman be pure?

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

5 If in God's eyes even the moon does not shine brightly, and the stars are not pure,

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

6 how much less a human being—who by comparison is like a maggot or a worm!”

Pho kangakanani umuntu oyimpethu, lendodana yomuntu engumswenya!
