Job 37
1 Aye, my heart trembleth at this also, and leapeth up out of its place:
“Kwa hili moyo wangu unatetemeka, nao unaruka kutoka mahali pake.
2 Hear attentively the roar of his voice, and the murmur going forth from his mouth.
Sikiliza! Sikiliza ngurumo ya sauti yake, sauti ya ngurumo itokayo kinywani mwake.
3 He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
Huuachilia umeme wake wa radi chini ya mbingu yote na kuupeleka hata miisho ya dunia.
4 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency, and holdeth not back the flashes when his voice is heard.
Baada ya hayo huja sauti ya ngurumo yake; Mungu hunguruma kwa sauti yake ya fahari. Wakati sauti yake ingurumapo tena, huuachilia umeme wake wa radi.
5 God thundereth marvellously with his voice, doing great things which we do not comprehend.
Sauti ya Mungu hunguruma kwa namna za ajabu; yeye hutenda mambo makuu kupita ufahamu wetu.
6 For he saith to the snow, Fall on the earth! and to the pouring rain, even the pouring rains of his might.
Huiambia theluji, ‘Anguka juu ya dunia,’ nayo manyunyu ya mvua, ‘Uwe mvua ya nguvu.’
7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
Ili wanadamu wote aliowaumba wapate kujua kazi zake, yeye humzuilia kila mtu shughuli zake.
8 And the wild beast goeth into its lair, and they remain in their dens.
Wanyama hujificha; hubakia kwenye mapango yao.
9 From the chamber [of the south] cometh the whirlwind; and cold from the winds of the north.
Dhoruba hutoka katika chumba chake, baridi hutoka katika upepo uendao kasi.
10 By the breath of God ice is given; and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
Pumzi ya Mungu hutoa barafu, eneo kubwa la maji huganda.
11 Also with plentiful moisture he loadeth the thick clouds, his light dispels the cloud;
Huyasheheneza mawingu kwa maji, naye husambaza umeme wake wa radi kupitia hayo.
12 And they are turned every way by his guidance, that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the circuit of the earth,
Nayo mawingu huzungukazunguka pande zote kwa amri yake, juu ya uso wa dunia yote, kufanya lolote ayaamuruyo.
13 Whether he cause it to come as a rod, or for his land, or in mercy.
Huleta mawingu ili kuadhibu wanadamu, au kuinyeshea dunia yake na kuonyesha upendo wake.
14 Hearken unto this, Job; stand still and discern the wondrous works of God.
“Ayubu, sikiliza hili; nyamaza na uyafikiri maajabu ya Mungu.
15 Dost thou know how God hath disposed them, and how he causeth the lightning of his cloud to flash?
Je, unajua jinsi Mungu anavyoyaongoza mawingu, na kufanya umeme wake wa radi utoe mwanga?
16 Dost thou know about the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him that is perfect in knowledge?
Je, wajua jinsi mawingu yanavyokaa yakiwa yametulia, hayo maajabu yake yeye aliye mkamilifu katika maarifa?
17 How thy garments become warm when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?
Wewe unayeshindwa na joto katika nguo zako wakati nchi imenyamazishwa kimya bila upepo wa kusini,
18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, firm, like a molten mirror?
je, waweza kuungana naye katika kuzitandaza anga, zilizo ngumu kama kioo cha shaba ya kuyeyushwa?
19 Teach us what we shall say unto him! We cannot order [our words] by reason of darkness.
“Tuambieni yatupasayo kumwambia; hatuwezi kutayarisha shauri letu kwa sababu ya ujinga wetu.
20 Shall it be told him if I would speak? if a man [so] say, surely he shall be swallowed up.
Je, aambiwe kwamba nataka kuongea? Je, yuko mtu ambaye angeomba kumezwa?
21 And now [men] see not the light as it gleameth, it is [hidden] in the skies. But the wind passeth by and cleareth them.
Basi hakuna awezaye kulitazama jua, jinsi linavyongʼaa angani, upepo ukishafagia mawingu.
22 From the north cometh gold; with God is terrible majesty.
Kutoka kaskazini yeye huja na fahari kuu; Mungu huja katika utukufu wa kutisha.
23 The Almighty, we cannot find him out: excellent in power, and in judgment, and in abundance of justice, he doth not afflict.
Yeye Mwenyezi hatuwezi kumfikia, naye ametukuzwa katika uweza; katika hukumu zake na haki yake kuu, hataonea.
24 Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
Kwa hiyo, wanadamu mheshimuni, kwa kuwa yeye hamstahi yeyote anayejidhania kuwa ana hekima.”
