Job 37
1 At this also my heart is troubled, and moved out of its place.
“Ndaigua ũguo ngoro yakwa ĩgatumatuuma, na ĩkambarara ĩkoima handũ hayo.
2 Hear you a report by the anger of the Lord's wrath, and a discourse shall come out of his mouth.
Thikĩrĩria! Thikĩrĩria mũraramo wa mũgambo wake, mũrurumo ũrĩa uumaga kanua gake.
3 His dominion is under the whole heaven, and his light is at the extremities of the earth.
Arekagĩrĩria rũheni rwake rungu rwa igũrũ guothe na akarũtũma nginya ituri cia thĩ.
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.
Thuutha waruo gũũkaga mũgambo wa mũraramo wake; arurumaga na mũgambo wake mũkaru. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũgambo wake waiguuo-rĩ, ndarigagĩrĩria heni.
5 The Mighty One shall thunder wonderfully with his voice: for he has done great things which we knew not;
Mũgambo wa Mũrungu ũrurumaga na njĩra ya magegania; ekaga maũndũ manene tũtangĩhota kũmenya.
6 commanding the snow, Be you upon the earth, and the stormy rain, and the storm of the showers of his might.
Eeraga tharunji atĩrĩ, ‘Gwa thĩ,’ nayo mbura ya rũthuthuũ akamĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Tuĩka mbura nene.’
7 He seals up the hand of every man, that every man may know his own weakness.
Nĩatigithagia mũndũ o wothe wĩra wake nĩgeetha andũ othe ombĩte mamenye wĩra wake.
8 And the wild beasts come in under the covert, and rest in [their] lair.
Nyamũ nacio nĩciĩhithaga; ciikaraga imamo-inĩ ciacio.
9 Troubles come on out of the secret chambers, and cold from the mountain-tops.
Kĩhuhũkanio kiumaga gĩikaro gĩakĩo, heho nayo ĩkoima rũhuho-inĩ rũkĩhurutana.
10 And from the breath of the Mighty One he will send frost; and he guides the water in whatever way he pleases.
Mĩhũmũ ya Mũrungu nĩĩthondekaga mbarabu, namo maaĩ harĩa maaramĩire makanyiitana.
11 And [if] a cloud obscures [what is] precious [to him], his light will disperse the cloud.
Nĩaiyũragia matu na ũigũ; ahurunjaga rũheni rũkamatũrĩkia.
12 And he will carry round the encircling [clouds] by his governance, to [perform] their works: whatever he shall command them,
Mathiiaga magĩthiũrũrũkaga o kũrĩa angĩmeerekeria thĩ yothe, mageeke o ũrĩa wothe angĩmaatha.
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.
Arehaga matu macio nĩguo aherithie andũ, kana aihũgie thĩ yake na onanie wendani wake.
14 Listen to this, O Job: stand still, and be admonished of the power of the Lord.
“Ayubu, thikĩrĩria ũhoro ũyũ; tithĩria hau wĩcũũranie ũhoro wa magegania ma Mũrungu.
15 We know that god has disposed his works, having made light out of darkness.
Wee nĩũũĩ ũrĩa Ngai aathaga matu, na ũrĩa atũmaga rũheni rwake rũhenũke?
16 And he knows the divisions of the clouds, and the signal overthrows of the ungodly.
Wee nĩũũĩ ũrĩa matu macio macuurĩtio wega, magegania macio ma ũrĩa ũrĩ ũmenyo mũkinyanĩru?
17 But your robe is warm, and there is quiet upon the land.
Wee ũringĩkaga nĩ ũrugarĩ wa nguo ciaku rĩrĩa bũrũri ũkirĩte ki hĩndĩ ya rũhuho rwa gũthini-rĩ,
18 Will you establish with him [foundations] for the ancient [heavens? they are] strong as a molten mirror.
no ũhote kũruta wĩra nake ũhoro-inĩ wa gũtambũrũkia matu mairũ, o macio momĩte o ta gĩcicio gĩa gĩcango?
19 Therefore teach me, what shall we say to him? and let us cease from saying much.
“Ta twĩre ũrĩa twagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũmwĩra; tũtingĩhota gwĩciirĩra nĩ ũndũ wa nduma iitũ.
20 Have I a book or a scribe my me, that I may stand and put man to silence?
Nĩagĩrĩire kwĩrwo atĩ nĩngwenda kwaria? Nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ o na ũ ũngiuga amerio?
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.
Rĩu-rĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩhota kũrora riũa, rĩcangararĩte kũu igũrũ thuutha wakuo kũhaatwo nĩ rũhuho gũgathera.
22 From the [north] come the clouds shining like gold: in these great are the glory and honor of the Almighty;
Okaga kuuma mwena wa gathigathini arĩ na riiri ukengeete ta wa thahabu; Ngai okaga arĩ na ũkaru wa gwĩtigĩrwo.
23 and we do not find another his equal in strength: [as for] him that judges justly, do you not think that he listens?
Ũcio Mwene-Hinya-Wothe-rĩ, tũtingĩhota kũmũkinyĩra, nĩatũũgĩrĩtio nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoti wake; tondũ wa ũrĩa arĩ wa kĩhooto na ũthingu mũnene-rĩ, ndahinyanagĩrĩria.
24 Therefore men shall fear him; and the wise also in heart shall fear him.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ nĩmamũtĩĩte, tondũ githĩ ndarũmbũyagia arĩa meyonaga ta marĩ oogĩ na ngoro ciao?”
