Job 37
1 At this also mine heart is astonied, and is mooued out of his place.
| אַף־לְ֭זֹאת יֶחֱרַ֣ד לִבִּ֑י וְ֝יִתַּ֗ר מִמְּקֹומֹֽו׃ |
2 Heare the sound of his voyce, and the noyse that goeth out of his mouth.
| שִׁמְע֤וּ שָׁמֹ֣ועַ בְּרֹ֣גֶז קֹלֹ֑ו וְ֝הֶ֗גֶה מִפִּ֥יו יֵצֵֽא׃ |
3 He directeth it vnder the whole heauen, and his light vnto the endes of the world.
| תַּֽחַת־כָּל־הַשָּׁמַ֥יִם יִשְׁרֵ֑הוּ וְ֝אֹורֹ֗ו עַל־כַּנְפֹ֥ות הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
4 After it a noyse soundeth: hee thundereth with the voyce of his maiestie, and hee will not stay them when his voyce is heard.
| אַחֲרָ֤יו ׀ יִשְׁאַג־קֹ֗ול יַ֭רְעֵם בְּקֹ֣ול גְּאֹונֹ֑ו וְלֹ֥א יְ֝עַקְּבֵ֗ם כִּֽי־יִשָּׁמַ֥ע קֹולֹֽו׃ |
5 God thundereth marueilously with his voyce: he worketh great things, which we know not.
| יַרְעֵ֤ם אֵ֣ל בְּ֭קֹולֹו נִפְלָאֹ֑ות עֹשֶׂ֥ה גְ֝דֹלֹ֗ות וְלֹ֣א נֵדָֽע׃ |
6 For he sayth to the snowe, Be thou vpon the earth: likewise to the small rayne and to the great rayne of his power.
| כִּ֤י לַשֶּׁ֨לַג ׀ יֹאמַ֗ר הֱוֵ֫א אָ֥רֶץ וְגֶ֥שֶׁם מָטָ֑ר וְ֝גֶ֗שֶׁם מִטְרֹ֥ות עֻזֹּֽו׃ |
7 With the force thereof he shutteth vp euery man, that all men may knowe his worke.
| בְּיַד־כָּל־אָדָ֥ם יַחְתֹּ֑ום לָ֝דַ֗עַת כָּל־אַנְשֵׁ֥י מַעֲשֵֽׂהוּ׃ |
8 Then the beastes go into the denne, and remaine in their places.
| וַתָּבֹ֣א חַיָּ֣ה בְמֹו־אָ֑רֶב וּבִמְעֹ֖ונֹתֶ֣יהָ תִשְׁכֹּֽן׃ |
9 The whirlewind commeth out of the South, and the colde from the North winde.
| מִן־הַ֭חֶדֶר תָּבֹ֣וא סוּפָ֑ה וּֽמִמְּזָרִ֥ים קָרָֽה׃ |
10 At the breath of God the frost is giuen, and the breadth of the waters is made narrowe.
| מִנִּשְׁמַת־אֵ֥ל יִתֶּן־קָ֑רַח וְרֹ֖חַב מַ֣יִם בְּמוּצָֽק׃ |
11 He maketh also the cloudes to labour, to water the earth, and scattereth the cloude of his light.
| אַף־בְּ֭רִי יַטְרִ֣יחַ עָ֑ב יָ֝פִ֗יץ עֲנַ֣ן אֹורֹֽו׃ |
12 And it is turned about by his gouernment, that they may doe whatsoeuer he commandeth them vpon the whole worlde:
| וְה֤וּא מְסִבֹּ֨ות ׀ מִתְהַפֵּ֣ךְ בְּתַחְבּוּלָתֹו (בְּתַחְבּוּלֹתָ֣יו) לְפָעֳלָ֑ם כֹּ֖ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר יְצַוֵּ֓ם ׀ עַל־פְּנֵ֖י תֵבֵ֣ל אָֽרְצָה׃ |
13 Whether it be for punishment, or for his lande, or of mercie, he causeth it to come.
| אִם־לְשֵׁ֥בֶט אִם־לְאַרְצֹ֑ו אִם־לְ֝חֶ֗סֶד יַמְצִאֵֽהוּ׃ |
14 Hearken vnto this, O Iob: stand and consider the wonderous workes of God.
| הַאֲזִ֣ינָה זֹּ֣את אִיֹּ֑וב עֲ֝מֹ֗ד וְהִתְבֹּונֵ֤ן ׀ נִפְלְאֹ֬ות אֵֽל׃ |
15 Diddest thou knowe when God disposed them? and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
| הֲ֭תֵדַע בְּשׂוּם־אֱלֹ֣והַּ עֲלֵיהֶ֑ם וְ֝הֹופִ֗יעַ אֹ֣ור עֲנָנֹֽו׃ |
16 Hast thou knowen the varietie of the cloude, and the wonderous workes of him, that is perfite in knowledge?
| הֲ֭תֵדַע עַל־מִפְלְשֵׂי־עָ֑ב מִ֝פְלְאֹ֗ות תְּמִ֣ים דֵּעִֽים׃ |
17 Or howe thy clothes are warme, when he maketh the earth quiet through the South winde?
| אֲשֶׁר־בְּגָדֶ֥יךָ חַמִּ֑ים בְּהַשְׁקִ֥ט אֶ֝֗רֶץ מִדָּרֹֽום׃ |
18 Hast thou stretched out the heaues, which are strong, and as a molten glasse?
| תַּרְקִ֣יעַ עִ֭מֹּו לִשְׁחָקִ֑ים חֲ֝זָקִ֗ים כִּרְאִ֥י מוּצָֽק׃ |
19 Tell vs what we shall say vnto him: for we can not dispose our matter because of darknes.
| הֹ֖ודִיעֵנוּ מַה־נֹּ֣אמַר לֹ֑ו לֹ֥א־נַ֝עֲרֹ֗ךְ מִפְּנֵי־חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃ |
20 Shall it be told him when I speake? or shall man speake when he shalbe destroyed?
| הֽ͏ַיְסֻפַּר־לֹ֖ו כִּ֣י אֲדַבֵּ֑ר אִֽם־אָ֥מַר אִ֝֗ישׁ כִּ֣י יְבֻלָּֽע׃ |
21 And nowe men see not the light, which shineth in the cloudes, but the winde passeth and clenseth them.
| וְעַתָּ֤ה ׀ לֹ֘א רָ֤אוּ אֹ֗ור בָּהִ֣יר ה֭וּא בַּשְּׁחָקִ֑ים וְר֥וּחַ עָ֝בְרָ֗ה וַֽתְּטַהֲרֵֽם׃ |
22 The brightnesse commeth out of the North: the praise thereof is to God, which is terrible.
| מִ֭צָּפֹון זָהָ֣ב יֶֽאֱתֶ֑ה עַל־אֱ֝לֹ֗והַּ נֹ֣ורָא הֹֽוד׃ |
23 It is the Almightie: we can not finde him out: he is excellent in power and iudgement, and aboundant in iustice: he afflicteth not.
| שַׁדַּ֣י לֹֽא־מְ֭צָאנֻהוּ שַׂגִּיא־כֹ֑חַ וּמִשְׁפָּ֥ט וְרֹב־צְ֝דָקָ֗ה לֹ֣א יְעַנֶּֽה׃ |
24 Let men therefore feare him: for he will not regarde any that are wise in their owne conceit.
| לָ֭כֵן יְרֵא֣וּהוּ אֲנָשִׁ֑ים לֹֽא־יִ֝רְאֶ֗ה כָּל־חַכְמֵי־לֵֽב׃ פ |
