< Job 37 >

1 Aye, my heart trembleth at this also, and leapeth up out of its place:
“Àyà sì fò mi sí èyí pẹ̀lú, ó sì kúrò ní ipò rẹ̀.
2 Hear attentively the roar of his voice, and the murmur going forth from his mouth.
Fetísílẹ̀! Fetísílẹ̀, kí ẹ sì gbọ́ ìró ohùn rẹ̀, àti èyí tí ó ti ẹnu rẹ̀ jáde wá.
3 He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
Ó ṣe ìlànà rẹ̀ ní ìsàlẹ̀ ọ̀run gbogbo, mọ̀nàmọ́ná rẹ̀ ni ó sì jọ̀wọ́ rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ dé òpin ilẹ̀ ayé.
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.
Lẹ́yìn mọ̀nàmọ́ná ohùn kan fọ̀ ramúramù; ó sì fi ohùn ọláńlá rẹ̀ sán àrá. Òhun kì yóò sì dá àrá dúró, nígbà tí ó bá ń gbọ́ ohùn rẹ̀.
5 God thundereth marvellously with his voice, doing great things which we do not comprehend.
Ọlọ́run fi ohùn rẹ̀ sán àrá ní ọ̀nà ìyanu; ohùn ńlá ńlá ni í ṣe tí àwa kò le mọ̀.
6 For he saith to the snow, Fall on the earth! and to the pouring rain, even the pouring rains of his might.
Nítorí tí ó wí fún yìnyín pé, ‘Ìwọ rọ̀ sílẹ̀ ayé,’ àti pẹ̀lú fún ọwọ́ òjò, ‘Fún òjò ńlá agbára rẹ̀.’
7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
Ó fi èdìdì di ọwọ́ gbogbo ènìyàn kí gbogbo wọn kí ó lè mọ iṣẹ́ rẹ̀, ó sì tún dá olúkúlùkù ènìyàn dúró lẹ́nu iṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
8 And the wild beast goeth into its lair, and they remain in their dens.
Nígbà náà ní àwọn ẹranko wọ inú ihò lọ, wọn a sì wà ni ipò wọn.
9 From the chamber [of the south] cometh the whirlwind; and cold from the winds of the north.
Láti ìhà gúúsù ni ìjì àjàyíká tí jáde wá, àti òtútù láti inú afẹ́fẹ́ ti tú àwọsánmọ̀ ká.
10 By the breath of God ice is given; and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
Nípa ẹ̀mí Ọlọ́run a fi ìdí omi fún ni, ibú omi á sì súnkì.
11 Also with plentiful moisture he loadeth the thick clouds, his light dispels the cloud;
Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú ó fi omi púpọ̀ mú àwọsánmọ̀ wúwo, a sì tú àwọsánmọ̀ ìmọ́lẹ̀ rẹ̀ ká ara wọn.
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,
Àwọn wọ̀nyí yí káàkiri nípa ìlànà rẹ̀, kí wọn kí ó lè ṣe ohunkóhun tí ó pàṣẹ fún wọn lórí ilẹ̀ ayé.
13 Whether he cause it to come as a rod, or for his land, or in mercy.
Ó mú àwọsánmọ̀ wá, ìbá ṣe fún ìkìlọ̀, tàbí omi wá sí ayé láti fi ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ hàn.
14 Hearken unto this, Job; stand still and discern the wondrous works of God.
“Jobu, dẹtí sílẹ̀ sí èyí; dúró jẹ́ẹ́ kí o sì ro iṣẹ́ ìyanu Ọlọ́run.
15 Dost thou know how God hath disposed them, and how he causeth the lightning of his cloud to flash?
Ṣe ìwọ mọ àkókò ìgbà tí Ọlọ́run ṣe wọ́n lọ́jọ̀, tí ó sì mú ìmọ́lẹ̀ àwọsánmọ̀ rẹ̀ dán?
16 Dost thou know about the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him that is perfect in knowledge?
Ṣé ìwọ mọ ìgbà tí àwọsánmọ̀ í fò lọ, iṣẹ́ ìyanu ẹni tí ó pé ní ìmọ̀?
17 How thy garments become warm when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?
Ìwọ ẹni ti aṣọ rẹ̀ ti máa n gbóná, nígbà tí ó fi atẹ́gùn ìhà gúúsù mú ayé dákẹ́.
18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, firm, like a molten mirror?
Ìwọ ha ba tẹ́ pẹpẹ ojú ọ̀run, tí ó dúró ṣinṣin, tí ó sì dàbí dígí tí ó yọ̀ dà?
19 Teach us what we shall say unto him! We cannot order [our words] by reason of darkness.
“Kọ́ wa ní èyí tí a lè wí fún un; nítorí pé àwa kò le wádìí ọ̀rọ̀ náà nítorí òkùnkùn wa.
20 Shall it be told him if I would speak? if a man [so] say, surely he shall be swallowed up.
A ó ha wí fún un pé, èmi fẹ́ sọ̀rọ̀? Tàbí ẹnìkan lè wí pé, ìfẹ́ mi ni pé kí a gbé mi mì?
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.
Síbẹ̀ nísinsin yìí ènìyàn kò rí oòrùn tí ń dán nínú àwọsánmọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n afẹ́fẹ́ ń kọjá, a sì gbá wọn mọ́.
22 From the north cometh gold; with God is terrible majesty.
Wúrà dídán ti inú ìhà àríwá jáde wá; lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run ni ọláńlá ẹ̀rù ńlá wa.
23 The Almighty, we cannot find him out: excellent in power, and in judgment, and in abundance of justice, he doth not afflict.
Nípa ti Olódùmarè àwa kò le wádìí rẹ̀, ó rékọjá ní ipá; nínú ìdájọ́ àti títí bi òun kì í ba ẹ̀tọ́ àti ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ òtítọ́ jẹ́.
24 Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
Nítorí náà ènìyàn ha máa bẹ̀rù rẹ̀, òun kì í ṣe ojú sájú ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó gbọ́n ní ayé?”
