Job 37
1 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved upward out of its place.
“Kwa hili moyo wangu unatetemeka, nao unaruka kutoka mahali pake.
2 Hear, O hear, the rattling of his thunder, and the storm's roar that goeth out of his mouth.
Sikiliza! Sikiliza ngurumo ya sauti yake, sauti ya ngurumo itokayo kinywani mwake.
3 Under the whole heavens he letteth it loose, and his lightning over the ends of the earth.
Huuachilia umeme wake wa radi chini ya mbingu yote na kuupeleka hata miisho ya dunia.
4 Behind it roareth the thunder; he thundereth with his majestic voice; and he holdeth them not back 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 with his marvelous voice: he doth great things, which we cannot comprehend.
Sauti ya Mungu hunguruma kwa namna za ajabu; yeye hutenda mambo makuu kupita ufahamu wetu.
6 For to the snow he saith, Be thou on the earth: likewise the pouring rain, and to the pouring rains of his strength.
Huiambia theluji, ‘Anguka juu ya dunia,’ nayo manyunyu ya mvua, ‘Uwe mvua ya nguvu.’
7 He sealeth it on the hand of every man, that all men whom he hath made may know it.
Ili wanadamu wote aliowaumba wapate kujua kazi zake, yeye humzuilia kila mtu shughuli zake.
8 Then retire the beasts into [their] dens, and rest in their lairs.
Wanyama hujificha; hubakia kwenye mapango yao.
9 Out of [his] chamber cometh the whirlwind, and out of the north, the cold.
Dhoruba hutoka katika chumba chake, baridi hutoka katika upepo uendao kasi.
10 From the breathing of God ice is given, and the broad waters become solid.
Pumzi ya Mungu hutoa barafu, eneo kubwa la maji huganda.
11 Also with moisture he loadeth the cloud; [and] he scattereth the cloud of his lightning;
Huyasheheneza mawingu kwa maji, naye husambaza umeme wake wa radi kupitia hayo.
12 And it is turned round about by his guidance, to execute what he commandeth it upon the face of the world, the earth.
Nayo mawingu huzungukazunguka pande zote kwa amri yake, juu ya uso wa dunia yote, kufanya lolote ayaamuruyo.
13 Whether it be as a chastising rod—if this be destined for his earth—or for kindness, doth he cause it to come.
Huleta mawingu ili kuadhibu wanadamu, au kuinyeshea dunia yake na kuonyesha upendo wake.
14 Give ear unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider well the wonders of God.
“Ayubu, sikiliza hili; nyamaza na uyafikiri maajabu ya Mungu.
15 Dost thou know how God hath imposed [a law] on them, and [how] he hath caused the light of his cloud to shine?
Je, unajua jinsi Mungu anavyoyaongoza mawingu, na kufanya umeme wake wa radi utoe mwanga?
16 Dost thou know aught about the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
Je, wajua jinsi mawingu yanavyokaa yakiwa yametulia, hayo maajabu yake yeye aliye mkamilifu katika maarifa?
17 [Thou] who clothest thyself with warm garments, when He giveth the earth rest from 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 skies, which are strong even as a molten mirror?
je, waweza kuungana naye katika kuzitandaza anga, zilizo ngumu kama kioo cha shaba ya kuyeyushwa?
19 Let us know what we shall say unto him: we cannot set aught in order [before him] because of darkness.
“Tuambieni yatupasayo kumwambia; hatuwezi kutayarisha shauri letu kwa sababu ya ujinga wetu.
20 Can [all] be related of him, when I speak [ever so much]? or if a man talk [of him] even till he be swallowed up [in death]?
Je, aambiwe kwamba nataka kuongea? Je, yuko mtu ambaye angeomba kumezwa?
21 Yet now men see not the light which is bright in the skies, when the wind hath passed along, and purified them.
Basi hakuna awezaye kulitazama jua, jinsi linavyongʼaa angani, upepo ukishafagia mawingu.
22 The golden [light] that cometh out of the north: around God is terrible majesty.
Kutoka kaskazini yeye huja na fahari kuu; Mungu huja katika utukufu wa kutisha.
23 The Almighty, whom we cannot find out, excellent in power, and in justice, and abounding in righteousness, will not afflict:
Yeye Mwenyezi hatuwezi kumfikia, naye ametukuzwa katika uweza; katika hukumu zake na haki yake kuu, hataonea.
24 Therefore do men fear him; he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
Kwa hiyo, wanadamu mheshimuni, kwa kuwa yeye hamstahi yeyote anayejidhania kuwa ana hekima.”
