Job 37
1 “At this my heart also pounds and leaps from its place.
“Nʼihi nke a, obi m na-ama jijiji, na-amali elu site nʼọnọdụ ya.
2 Listen closely to the thunder of His voice and the rumbling that comes from His mouth.
Gee ntị! Gee ntị nụrụ ụda olu ya, na ụzụ nke si nʼọnụ ya apụta.
3 He unleashes His lightning beneath the whole sky and sends it to the ends of the earth.
Ọ na-atọpụ amụma ya ka ọ na-ejeru nʼokpuru eluigwe niile, ọ na-ezisakwa ya ebe niile ụwa sọtụrụ.
4 Then there comes a roaring sound; He thunders with His majestic voice. He does not restrain the lightning when His voice resounds.
Nke a gasịa, ihe ọzọ na-eso ya bụ mbigbọ nke olu ike ya; ụda olu ya na ada ụda dịka egbe eluigwe, mgbe olu ahụ dara dakwasị, ọ naghị egbochi amụma igbu egbu.
5 God thunders wondrously with His voice; He does great things we cannot comprehend.
Nʼụzọ dị ebube ka olu Chineke si ada dịka egbe eluigwe; ọ na-eme ọtụtụ ihe ukwuu nke anyị na-apụghị ịghọta.
6 For He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the gentle rain, ‘Pour out a mighty downpour.’
Nʼihi na ọ bụ ya na-agwa snoo okwu sị: ‘Daa nʼelu ala,’ na-agwakwa mmiri ozuzo okwu sị, ‘Zoo nnukwu mmiri ozuzo.’
7 He seals up the hand of every man, so that all men may know His work.
Ka mmadụ o kere mata akaọrụ ya; ọ na-emekwa ka mmadụ ọbụla kwụsị ịdọgbu onwe ya nʼọrụ.
8 The wild animals enter their lairs; they settle down in their dens.
Ụmụ anụmanụ bi nʼọhịa na-agbaba zoo onwe; ha na-anọgide nʼebe obibi ha.
9 The tempest comes from its chamber, and the cold from the driving north winds.
Oke ifufe na-esite nʼụlọ ya na-abịa, oyi na-esitekwa nʼikuku na-agbasa agbasa.
10 By the breath of God the ice is formed and the watery expanses are frozen.
Iku ume Chineke na-emepụta mkpụrụ mmiri, ogbu mmiri na-akpụkọtakwa.
11 He loads the clouds with moisture; He scatters His lightning through them.
Ọ na-eme ka igwe ojii jupụta na mmiri; na-eme ka amụma gbuo nʼime igwe ojii.
12 They swirl about, whirling at His direction, accomplishing all that He commands over the face of all the earth.
Site na ntụziaka ya ka ha na-echigharị onwe ha gburugburu imezu ihe ọbụla ọ chọrọ ka ha mee nʼelu ụwa niile.
13 Whether for punishment or for His land, He accomplishes this in His loving devotion.
Ọ na-ewebata igwe ojii maka ịta ndị mmadụ ahụhụ, na-eweta ya maka ime ka mmiri zokwasị elu ala igosi ịhụnanya ya.
14 Listen to this, O Job; stand still and consider the wonders of God.
“Job, gee ntị. Tulee ọrụ ebube niile Chineke na-arụ.
15 Do you know how God dispatches the clouds or makes the lightning flash?
Ị maara otu Chineke si achịkọta igwe ojii na-eme ka amụma gbuo?
16 Do you understand how the clouds float, those wonders of Him who is perfect in knowledge?
Ị maara otu Chineke si kwụba igwe ojii na mbara eluigwe, nke bụ ọrụ ebube onye ihe ọmụma ya zuruoke?
17 You whose clothes get hot when the land lies hushed under the south wind,
Gị onye uwe i yi nʼahụ na-ekpo gị ọkụ mgbe ụwa dere jii nʼihi ifufe na-esite na ndịda na-abịa,
18 can you, like Him, spread out the skies to reflect the heat like a mirror of bronze?
ị pụrụ iso ya tụsaa mbara eluigwe nke dị ike dịka enyo bronz a wụrụ awụ?
19 Teach us what we should say to Him; we cannot draw up our case when our faces are in darkness.
“Gwa anyị ihe anyị ga-azaghachi ya; ebe ọ bụ na anyị apụghị ido okwu anyị nʼusoro nʼihi ọchịchịrị nke anyị nọ nʼime ya.
20 Should He be told that I want to speak? Would a man ask to be swallowed up?
A ga-agwa ya na m nwere okwu? Ọ dị mmadụ ọbụla ga-achọ ka e loda ya?
21 Now no one can gaze at the sun when it is bright in the skies after the wind has swept them clean.
Ugbu a, ọ dịghị mmadụ ọbụla pụrụ ilekwasị anyanwụ anya ka ọ na-achake na mbara igwe, mgbe ifufe ji ngwangwa gabiga mee ka o nwuo ọcha.
22 Out of the north He comes in golden splendor; awesome majesty surrounds Him.
Nʼugwu ka ebube na-enwu dịka ọlaedo si apụta; Chineke na-eji ebube dị egwu na-abịa.
23 The Almighty is beyond our reach; He is exalted in power! In His justice and great righteousness He does not oppress.
Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile bụ onye anyị na-enweghị ike chọta. Ike ya dị ukwuu, nʼikpe ikpe ya ziri ezi na ezi omume ya bara ụba, ọ naghị emegbu mmadụ.
24 Therefore, men fear Him, for He is not partial to the wise in heart.”
Ya mere, ụmụ mmadụ na-atụ egwu ya, ọ bụ na o nweghị nsọpụrụ nye ndị niile obi ha maara ihe?”
