Job 37
1 Hae hmuen pongah ka palungthin tasoeh moe, a ohhaih ahmuen hoiah angthuih ving.
“At this my heart also pounds and leaps from its place.
2 A thuih ih lok, anih ih pakha thung hoiah tacawt lok to kahoih ah tahngai ah.
Listen closely to the thunder of His voice and the rumbling that comes from His mouth.
3 A thuih ih lok loe van tlim ah kaom ahmuen boih ah phak moe, tangphrapuekhaih doeh long boenghaih ahmuen khoek to phak.
He unleashes His lightning beneath the whole sky and sends it to the ends of the earth.
4 Tangphrapuek pacoengah lok to angzoh; a lensawkhaih lok hoiah kho to pazisak; lok tacawt pacoengah loe, takhi sae songhaih diisak let mak ai boeh.
Then there comes a roaring sound; He thunders with His majestic voice. He does not restrain the lightning when His voice resounds.
5 Dawnrai koi kaom ah Sithaw mah khopazih lok to tacawtsak; aicae mah panoek thai ai ih kalen parai hmuennawk to anih mah sak.
God thunders wondrously with His voice; He does great things we cannot comprehend.
6 Dantui khaeah, Long ah krah ah, tiah a naa. Khotui khaeah, Kalen parai kho angzoh hanah lok a paek.
For He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the gentle rain, ‘Pour out a mighty downpour.’
7 Kami boih mah a sak ih hmuen panoek thai hanah, kami boih mah sak ih tok to anghaksak.
He seals up the hand of every man, so that all men may know His work.
8 Taw ih moinawk loe akhaw thungah caeh o moe, athung ah abuep o.
The wild animals enter their lairs; they settle down in their dens.
9 Aloih bang hoiah takhi kamhae to angzoh moe, aluek bang hoiah kangqai to angzoh.
The tempest comes from its chamber, and the cold from the driving north winds.
10 Sithaw ih takhi mah hmuh pongah, tui to amkhawk, kawk parai tuinawk loe amkhawk o.
By the breath of God the ice is formed and the watery expanses are frozen.
11 Tamai to tui hoiah koisak moe, ni aengh mah tamai to angkhoengsak phaeng.
He loads the clouds with moisture; He scatters His lightning through them.
12 Long ah kaom hmuennawk boih loe, a thuih ih lok baktih toengah, sak o hanah a thuih ih lok hoiah ni amhae o.
They swirl about, whirling at His direction, accomplishing all that He commands over the face of all the earth.
13 Kaminawk thuitaek han ih, to tih ai boeh loe angmah ih long to khetzawn han ih, to tih ai boeh loe palungnathaih amtuengsak han ih, to tiah ohsak.
Whether for punishment or for His land, He accomplishes this in His loving devotion.
14 Aw Job hae lok hae tahngai ah; dawnrai koi kaom Sithaw ih hmuennawk hae, anghngaih duem ah loe, poek ah.
Listen to this, O Job; stand still and consider the wonders of God.
15 Sithaw mah kawbangmaw tamainawk to amzamsak moe, aanghaih to ohsak, tiah na panoek maw?
Do you know how God dispatches the clouds or makes the lightning flash?
16 Palunghahaih hoi kakoep, dawnrai koi kaom, Sithaw mah sak ih hmuen ah kaom, tamainawk to kawbangmaw amzamsak, tito na panoek vai maw?
Do you understand how the clouds float, those wonders of Him who is perfect in knowledge?
17 Aloih bang ih takhi mah long to betsak naah, na khukbuen to kawbangmaw bet, tiah na panoek vai maw?
You whose clothes get hot when the land lies hushed under the south wind,
18 Sithaw mah kabae amdingsak hanah tamai to taboksak, nang loe to tiah na sak thai maw?
can you, like Him, spread out the skies to reflect the heat like a mirror of bronze?
19 Anih khaeah timaw ka thuih o han, tito na patuk ah; khoving pongah tidoeh ka sah o thai ai boeh.
Teach us what we should say to Him; we cannot draw up our case when our faces are in darkness.
20 Lokthuih ka koeh, tiah Anih khaeah ka thuih han maw? Kami mah to tiah thui nahaeloe, to kami to anih mah amrosak tangtang tih.
Should He be told that I want to speak? Would a man ask to be swallowed up?
21 Takhi song moe, tamai to hmuh phaeng naah, mi mah doeh ni aengh to khen thai ai.
Now no one can gaze at the sun when it is bright in the skies after the wind has swept them clean.
22 Anih loe kampha sui baktiah aluek bang hoiah angzoh; Sithaw loe zitthok Lensawkhaih hoiah akoep.
Out of the north He comes in golden splendor; awesome majesty surrounds Him.
23 Thacak Sithaw loe aicae mah hnu thai ai; anih loe thacakhaih, lokcaekhaih hoi toenghaih hoiah akoep; anih loe mi kawbaktih doeh pacaekthlaek ai.
The Almighty is beyond our reach; He is exalted in power! In His justice and great righteousness He does not oppress.
24 To pongah kaminawk mah anih to zit o; anih loe palungha kami ni, tiah poek ih kaminawk khingyahaih to tawn ai, tiah a naa.
Therefore, men fear Him, for He is not partial to the wise in heart.”
