Job 37
1 "Yes, at this my heart trembles, and is moved out of its place.
之がためにわが心わななき その處を動き離る
2 Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, the sound that goes out of his mouth.
神の聲の響およびその口より出る轟聲を善く聽け
3 He sends it forth under the whole sky, and his lightning to the farthest parts of the earth.
これを天が下に放ち またその電光を地の極にまで至らせたまふ
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.
その後聲ありて打響き 彼威光の聲を放ちて鳴わたりたまふ その御聲聞えしむるに當りては電光を押へおきたまはず
5 God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can't comprehend.
神奇しくも御聲を放ちて鳴わたり 我儕の知ざる大なる事を行ひたまふ
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.
かれ雪にむかひて地に降れと命じたまふ 雨すなはちその權能の大雨にも亦しかり
7 He seals up the hand of every man, that all men whom he has made may know it.
斯かれ一切の人の手を封じたまふ 是すべての人にその御工作を知しめんがためなり
8 Then the animals take cover, and remain in their dens.
また獸は穴にいりてその洞に居る
9 Out of its chamber comes the storm, and cold out of the north.
南方の密室より暴風きたり 北より寒氣きたる
10 By the breath of God, ice is given, and the breadth of the waters is frozen.
神の氣吹によりて氷いできたり 水の寛狹くせらる
11 Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.
かれ水をもて雲に搭載せまた電光の雲を遠く散したまふ
12 It is turned around by his guidance, that they may do whatever he commands them on the surface of the habitable world,
是は神の導引によりて週る 是は彼の命ずるところを盡く世界の表面に爲んがためなり
13 Whether it is for correction, or for his land, or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come.
その之を來らせたまふは或は懲罰のため あるひはその地のため 或は恩惠のためなり
14 "Listen to this, Job. Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
ヨブよ是を聽け 立ちて神の奇妙き工作を考へよ
15 Do you know how God controls them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
神いかに是等に命を傳へその雲の光明をして輝かせたまふか汝これを知るや
16 Do you know the workings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
なんぢ雲の平衡知識の全たき者の奇妙き工作を知るや
17 You whose clothing is warm, when the earth is still by reason of the south wind?
南風によりて地の穩かになる時なんぢの衣服は熱くなるなり
18 Can you, with him, spread out the sky, which is strong as a cast metal mirror?
なんぢ彼とともに彼の堅くして鑄たる鏡のごとくなる蒼穹を張ることを能せんや
19 Teach us what we shall tell him, for we can't make our case by reason of darkness.
われらが彼に言ふべき事を我らに教へよ 我らは暗昧して言詞を列ぬること能はざるなり
20 Shall it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
われ語ることありと彼に告ぐべけんや 人あに滅ぼさるることを望まんや
21 Now men do not see the light which is bright in the skies, but the wind passes, and clears them.
人いまは雲霄に輝やく光明を見ること能はず 然れど風きたりて之を吹清む
22 Out of the north comes golden splendor. With God is awesome majesty.
北より黄金いできたる 神には畏るべき威光あり
23 We can't reach Shaddai. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.
全能者はわれら測りきはむることを得ず 彼は能おほいなる者にいまし審判をも公義をも抂たまはざるなり
24 Therefore men revere him. He doesn't regard any who are wise of heart."
この故に人々かれを畏る 彼はみづから心に有智とする者をかへりみたまはざるなり
