Job 37
1 At this also my heart is troubled, and moved out of its place.
“Mtima wanga ukulumphalumpha pa chimenechinso ndipo ukuchoka mʼmalo mwake.
2 Hear you a report by the anger of the Lord's wrath, and a discourse shall come out of his mouth.
Tamverani! Tamverani kubangula kwa liwu lake, kugunda kumene kukuchokera mʼkamwa mwake.
3 His dominion is under the whole heaven, and his light is at the extremities of the earth.
Iye amaponya chingʼaningʼani chake pansi pa thambo lonse ndipo amachitumiza ku dziko lapansi.
4 After him shall be a cry with a [loud] voice; he shall thunder with the voice of his excellency, yet he shall not cause men to pass away, for one shall hear his voice.
Pambuyo pake kubangula kwake kumamveka. Iye amabangula ndi liwu lake laulemerero. Pamene wabangula, palibe chimene amalephera kuchita.
5 The Mighty One shall thunder wonderfully with his voice: for he has done great things which we knew not;
Liwu la Mulungu limabangula mʼnjira zambiri zodabwitsa Iye amachita zinthu zazikulu zimene sitingathe kuzimvetsa.
6 commanding the snow, Be you upon the earth, and the stormy rain, and the storm of the showers of his might.
Amalamula chisanu chowundana kuti, ‘Igwa pa dziko lapansi,’ ndipo amalamulanso mvula yamawawa kuti, ‘Khala mvula yamphamvu.’
7 He seals up the hand of every man, that every man may know his own weakness.
Kuti anthu onse amene anawalenga athe kuzindikira ntchito yake. Iye amalepheretsa anthu kugwira ntchito zawo.
8 And the wild beasts come in under the covert, and rest in [their] lair.
Zirombo zimakabisala ndipo zimakhala mʼmaenje mwawo.
9 Troubles come on out of the secret chambers, and cold from the mountain-tops.
Mphepo yamkuntho imatuluka ku malo ake, kuzizira kumatuluka mʼmphepo yamkunthoyo.
10 And from the breath of the Mighty One he will send frost; and he guides the water in whatever way he pleases.
Mpweya wa Mulungu umawunditsa madzi ndipo madzi a mʼnyanja amawuma kuti gwaa.
11 And [if] a cloud obscures [what is] precious [to him], his light will disperse the cloud.
Iye amadzaza mitambo ndi madzi a mvula, amabalalitsa zingʼaningʼani zake kuchokera mʼmitambomo.
12 And he will carry round the encircling [clouds] by his governance, to [perform] their works: whatever he shall command them,
Mulungu amayendetsa mitamboyo mozungulirazungulira dziko lonse lapansi kuti ichite zonse zimene Iye akufuna pa dziko lapansi.
13 this has been appointed by him on the earth, whether for correction, [or] for his land, or if he shall find him [an object] for mercy.
Iye amagwetsa mvula kuti alange anthu, kapena kubweretsa chinyontho pa dziko lapansi kuti aonetse chikondi chake.
14 Listen to this, O Job: stand still, and be admonished of the power of the Lord.
“Abambo Yobu, tamvani izi; imani ndipo muganizire ntchito zodabwitsa za Mulungu.
15 We know that god has disposed his works, having made light out of darkness.
Kodi mukudziwa momwe Mulungu amayendetsera mitambo ndi kuchititsa kuti kukhale zingʼaningʼani?
16 And he knows the divisions of the clouds, and the signal overthrows of the ungodly.
Kodi mukudziwa momwe Mulungu amayalira mitambo, ntchito zodabwitsa za Iye amene ndi wanzeru zangwiro?
17 But your robe is warm, and there is quiet upon the land.
Inu amene mʼzovala zanu mumatuluka thukuta pamene kunja kwatentha chifukwa cha mphepo yakummwera,
18 Will you establish with him [foundations] for the ancient [heavens? they are] strong as a molten mirror.
kodi mungathe kuthandizana naye kutambasula thambo limene ndi lolimba ngati chitsulo?
19 Therefore teach me, what shall we say to him? and let us cease from saying much.
“Tiwuzeni ife zoti tikanene kwa Iye; sitingathe kufotokoza mlandu wathu chifukwa cha mdima umene uli mwa ife.
20 Have I a book or a scribe my me, that I may stand and put man to silence?
Kodi nʼkofunika kumudziwitsa Mulungu kuti ndili naye mawu? Kodi kutero sikuchita ngati kupempha kuti ndiwonongeke?
21 But the light is not visible to all: it shines afar off in the heavens, as that which is from him in the clouds.
Tsopano munthu sangathe kuyangʼana dzuwa, ndi kunyezimira mlengalenga, kuwomba kwa mphepo kutachotsa mitambo yonse.
22 From the [north] come the clouds shining like gold: in these great are the glory and honour of the Almighty;
Kuwala kwake kumaonekera cha kumpoto; Mulungu amabwera ndi ulemerero woopsa.
23 and we do not find another his equal in strength: [as for] him that judges justly, do you not think that he listens?
Wamphamvuzonse sitingathe kumufikira pafupi ndi wa mphamvu zoposa; pa chiweruzo chake cholungama ndi mʼchilungamo chake chachikulu Iye sapondereza anthu ozunzika.
24 Therefore men shall fear him; and the wise also in heart shall fear him.
Nʼchifukwa chake anthu amamuopa kwambiri, kodi saganizira za onse amene amaganiza kuti ndi anzeru?”
