1Ipapo Bhiridhadhi muShuhi akapindura, akati,
1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2Umambo nokutyisa zvinaye; Iye unoyananisa pamatunhu ake akakwirira.
2Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.
3Hondo dzake dzingaverengwa here? Ndianiko asingavhenekerwi nechiedza chake?
3Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?
4Zvino munhu angava akarurama seiko pamberi paMwari? Nomunhu akazvarwa nomukadzi angava akachena sei?
4How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
5Tarira, nomwedziwo unoshaiwa kubhinya, Nenyeredzi hadzizakachena kwazvo pamberi pake.
5Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.
6Ndoda munhu, iro gonye! noMwanakomana womunhu, iro gonye!
6How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?
