< Job 25 >

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
Kwathi-ke uBhilidadi umShuhi waphendula wathi:
2 “Dominion and fear are with him. He makes peace in his high places.
“Umbuso lesizotha kukuye uNkulunkulu; nguye omisa konke ngemfanelo ezulwini eliphezulu.
3 Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise?
Amabutho akhe angabalwa na? Ngubani ongaphunyelwa yikukhanya kwakhe na?
4 How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?
Pho umuntu angaba ngolungileyo njani kuNkulunkulu na? Angenza njani ozelwe ngowesifazane ukuthi ahlanzeke na?
5 Behold, even the moon has no brightness, and the stars are not pure in his sight;
Khangela, nxa inyanga ngokwayo ingakhazimuli, lezinkanyezi zingahlanzekanga emehlweni akhe,
6 How much less man, who is a worm, and the son of man, who is a worm!”
pho umuntu-ke usilela kanganani, oyimpethu nje, umuntu, oyinhlava nje kuphela!”
