Job 37
1 "Yes, at this my heart trembles, and is moved out of its place.
“Mtima wanga ukulumphalumpha pa chimenechinso ndipo ukuchoka mʼmalo mwake.
2 Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, the sound that goes out of his mouth.
Tamverani! Tamverani kubangula kwa liwu lake, kugunda kumene kukuchokera mʼkamwa mwake.
3 He sends it forth under the whole sky, and his lightning to the farthest parts of the earth.
Iye amaponya chingʼaningʼani chake pansi pa thambo lonse ndipo amachitumiza ku dziko lapansi.
4 After it a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty. He doesn't hold back anything when his voice is heard.
Pambuyo pake kubangula kwake kumamveka. Iye amabangula ndi liwu lake laulemerero. Pamene wabangula, palibe chimene amalephera kuchita.
5 God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can't comprehend.
Liwu la Mulungu limabangula mʼnjira zambiri zodabwitsa Iye amachita zinthu zazikulu zimene sitingathe kuzimvetsa.
6 For he says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth;' likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of his mighty rain.
Amalamula chisanu chowundana kuti, ‘Igwa pa dziko lapansi,’ ndipo amalamulanso mvula yamawawa kuti, ‘Khala mvula yamphamvu.’
7 He seals up the hand of every man, that all men whom he has made may know it.
Kuti anthu onse amene anawalenga athe kuzindikira ntchito yake. Iye amalepheretsa anthu kugwira ntchito zawo.
8 Then the animals take cover, and remain in their dens.
Zirombo zimakabisala ndipo zimakhala mʼmaenje mwawo.
9 Out of its chamber comes the storm, and cold out of the north.
Mphepo yamkuntho imatuluka ku malo ake, kuzizira kumatuluka mʼmphepo yamkunthoyo.
10 By the breath of God, ice is given, and the breadth of the waters is frozen.
Mpweya wa Mulungu umawunditsa madzi ndipo madzi a mʼnyanja amawuma kuti gwaa.
11 Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.
Iye amadzaza mitambo ndi madzi a mvula, amabalalitsa zingʼaningʼani zake kuchokera mʼmitambomo.
12 It is turned around by his guidance, that they may do whatever he commands them on the surface of the habitable world,
Mulungu amayendetsa mitamboyo mozungulirazungulira dziko lonse lapansi kuti ichite zonse zimene Iye akufuna pa dziko lapansi.
13 Whether it is for correction, or for his land, or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come.
Iye amagwetsa mvula kuti alange anthu, kapena kubweretsa chinyontho pa dziko lapansi kuti aonetse chikondi chake.
14 "Listen to this, Job. Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
“Abambo Yobu, tamvani izi; imani ndipo muganizire ntchito zodabwitsa za Mulungu.
15 Do you know how God controls them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
Kodi mukudziwa momwe Mulungu amayendetsera mitambo ndi kuchititsa kuti kukhale zingʼaningʼani?
16 Do you know the workings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
Kodi mukudziwa momwe Mulungu amayalira mitambo, ntchito zodabwitsa za Iye amene ndi wanzeru zangwiro?
17 You whose clothing is warm, when the earth is still by reason of the south wind?
Inu amene mʼzovala zanu mumatuluka thukuta pamene kunja kwatentha chifukwa cha mphepo yakummwera,
18 Can you, with him, spread out the sky, which is strong as a cast metal mirror?
kodi mungathe kuthandizana naye kutambasula thambo limene ndi lolimba ngati chitsulo?
19 Teach us what we shall tell him, for we can't make our case by reason of darkness.
“Tiwuzeni ife zoti tikanene kwa Iye; sitingathe kufotokoza mlandu wathu chifukwa cha mdima umene uli mwa ife.
20 Shall it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
Kodi nʼkofunika kumudziwitsa Mulungu kuti ndili naye mawu? Kodi kutero sikuchita ngati kupempha kuti ndiwonongeke?
21 Now men do not see the light which is bright in the skies, but the wind passes, and clears them.
Tsopano munthu sangathe kuyangʼana dzuwa, ndi kunyezimira mlengalenga, kuwomba kwa mphepo kutachotsa mitambo yonse.
22 Out of the north comes golden splendor. With God is awesome majesty.
Kuwala kwake kumaonekera cha kumpoto; Mulungu amabwera ndi ulemerero woopsa.
23 We can't reach Shaddai. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.
Wamphamvuzonse sitingathe kumufikira pafupi ndi wa mphamvu zoposa; pa chiweruzo chake cholungama ndi mʼchilungamo chake chachikulu Iye sapondereza anthu ozunzika.
24 Therefore men revere him. He doesn't regard any who are wise of heart."
Nʼchifukwa chake anthu amamuopa kwambiri, kodi saganizira za onse amene amaganiza kuti ndi anzeru?”
