Job 37
1 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place.
“Kwa hili moyo wangu unatetemeka, nao unaruka kutoka mahali pake.
2 Hearken ye unto the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.
Sikiliza! Sikiliza ngurumo ya sauti yake, sauti ya ngurumo itokayo kinywani mwake.
3 He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
Huuachilia umeme wake wa radi chini ya mbingu yote na kuupeleka hata miisho ya dunia.
4 After it a voice roareth; he thundereth with the voice of his majesty: and he stayeth them not 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 marvelously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
Sauti ya Mungu hunguruma kwa namna za ajabu; yeye hutenda mambo makuu kupita ufahamu wetu.
6 For he saith to the snow, Fall thou on the earth; likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of his mighty rain.
Huiambia theluji, ‘Anguka juu ya dunia,’ nayo manyunyu ya mvua, ‘Uwe mvua ya nguvu.’
7 He sealeth up 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 the beasts go into coverts, and remain in their dens.
Wanyama hujificha; hubakia kwenye mapango yao.
9 Out of the chamber [of the south] cometh the storm: and cold out of the north.
Dhoruba hutoka katika chumba chake, baridi hutoka katika upepo uendao kasi.
10 By the breath of God ice is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
Pumzi ya Mungu hutoa barafu, eneo kubwa la maji huganda.
11 Yea, he ladeth the thick cloud with moisture; he spreadeth abroad 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, that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the habitable world.
Nayo mawingu huzungukazunguka pande zote kwa amri yake, juu ya uso wa dunia yote, kufanya lolote ayaamuruyo.
13 Whether it be for correction, or for his land, or for mercy, that he cause it to come.
Huleta mawingu ili kuadhibu wanadamu, au kuinyeshea dunia yake na kuonyesha upendo wake.
14 Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
“Ayubu, sikiliza hili; nyamaza na uyafikiri maajabu ya Mungu.
15 Dost thou know how God layeth [his charge] upon them, and causeth the lightning of his cloud to shine?
Je, unajua jinsi Mungu anavyoyaongoza mawingu, na kufanya umeme wake wa radi utoe mwanga?
16 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
Je, wajua jinsi mawingu yanavyokaa yakiwa yametulia, hayo maajabu yake yeye aliye mkamilifu katika maarifa?
17 How thy garments are warm, when the earth is still by reason of the south [wind]?
Wewe unayeshindwa na joto katika nguo zako wakati nchi imenyamazishwa kimya bila upepo wa kusini,
18 Canst thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong as a molten mirror?
je, waweza kuungana naye katika kuzitandaza anga, zilizo ngumu kama kioo cha shaba ya kuyeyushwa?
19 Teach us what we shall say unto him; [for] we cannot order [our speech] by reason of darkness.
“Tuambieni yatupasayo kumwambia; hatuwezi kutayarisha shauri letu kwa sababu ya ujinga wetu.
20 Shall it be told him that I would speak? or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
Je, aambiwe kwamba nataka kuongea? Je, yuko mtu ambaye angeomba kumezwa?
21 And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
Basi hakuna awezaye kulitazama jua, jinsi linavyongʼaa angani, upepo ukishafagia mawingu.
22 Out of the north cometh golden splendour: God hath upon him terrible majesty.
Kutoka kaskazini yeye huja na fahari kuu; Mungu huja katika utukufu wa kutisha.
23 [Touching] the Almighty, we can not find him out; he is excellent in power: and in judgment and plenteous justice he will not afflict.
Yeye Mwenyezi hatuwezi kumfikia, naye ametukuzwa katika uweza; katika hukumu zake na haki yake kuu, hataonea.
24 Men do therefore fear him: he regardeth not any that are wise of heart.
Kwa hiyo, wanadamu mheshimuni, kwa kuwa yeye hamstahi yeyote anayejidhania kuwa ana hekima.”
