Job 37
1 Yea, at this, my heart quaketh, and starteth up out of its place.
“Ndaigua ũguo ngoro yakwa ĩgatumatuuma, na ĩkambarara ĩkoima handũ hayo.
2 Hear! oh hear! the raging of his voice, A growling sound also, out of his mouth, goeth forth;
Thikĩrĩria! Thikĩrĩria mũraramo wa mũgambo wake, mũrurumo ũrĩa uumaga kanua gake.
3 Under the whole heavens, he letteth it loose, His lightning also, unto the wings of the earth;
Arekagĩrĩria rũheni rwake rungu rwa igũrũ guothe na akarũtũma nginya ituri cia thĩ.
4 After it, roareth a voice, He thundereth with his voice of majesty, Nor will he hold them back, when his voice is heard.
Thuutha waruo gũũkaga mũgambo wa mũraramo wake; arurumaga na mũgambo wake mũkaru. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũgambo wake waiguuo-rĩ, ndarigagĩrĩria heni.
5 GOD thundereth with his voice, wonderfully, Doing great things, which we cannot know;
Mũgambo wa Mũrungu ũrurumaga na njĩra ya magegania; ekaga maũndũ manene tũtangĩhota kũmenya.
6 For, to the snow, he saith, Fall earthwards, —Also to the downpour of rain, yea the downpour of his mighty rains.
Eeraga tharunji atĩrĩ, ‘Gwa thĩ,’ nayo mbura ya rũthuthuũ akamĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Tuĩka mbura nene.’
7 On the hand of every man, he setteth a seal, that all men may take note of his doing.
Nĩatigithagia mũndũ o wothe wĩra wake nĩgeetha andũ othe ombĩte mamenye wĩra wake.
8 So then the wild-beast hath gone into covert, and, in its lairs, doth it remain.
Nyamũ nacio nĩciĩhithaga; ciikaraga imamo-inĩ ciacio.
9 Out of a chamber cometh a storm-wind, and, out of the north, cold.
Kĩhuhũkanio kiumaga gĩikaro gĩakĩo, heho nayo ĩkoima rũhuho-inĩ rũkĩhurutana.
10 By the breath of GOD, is given—frost, and, the breadth of waters, is congealed;
Mĩhũmũ ya Mũrungu nĩĩthondekaga mbarabu, namo maaĩ harĩa maaramĩire makanyiitana.
11 Also, with moisture, burdeneth he the thick cloud, He disperseth his lightning-cloud;
Nĩaiyũragia matu na ũigũ; ahurunjaga rũheni rũkamatũrĩkia.
12 Yea, the same, in circles, turneth itself to and fro, by his steering them to their work, whithersoever he commandeth them, over the face of the world, towards the earth.
Mathiiaga magĩthiũrũrũkaga o kũrĩa angĩmeerekeria thĩ yothe, mageeke o ũrĩa wothe angĩmaatha.
13 Whether, as a rod, or for his earth, or in lovingkindness, he causeth it to come.
Arehaga matu macio nĩguo aherithie andũ, kana aihũgie thĩ yake na onanie wendani wake.
14 Give thou ear unto this, O Job, Stay, and consider well the wonders of GOD: —
“Ayubu, thikĩrĩria ũhoro ũyũ; tithĩria hau wĩcũũranie ũhoro wa magegania ma Mũrungu.
15 Canst thou got to know of GOD’S giving charge over them, or of the causing of the lightning of his cloud to shine forth?
Wee nĩũũĩ ũrĩa Ngai aathaga matu, na ũrĩa atũmaga rũheni rwake rũhenũke?
16 Canst thou get to know concerning the poisings of the thick cloud, the wonders of one who is perfect in knowledge?
Wee nĩũũĩ ũrĩa matu macio macuurĩtio wega, magegania macio ma ũrĩa ũrĩ ũmenyo mũkinyanĩru?
17 That thy garments should be hot when he quieteth the earth from the south?
Wee ũringĩkaga nĩ ũrugarĩ wa nguo ciaku rĩrĩa bũrũri ũkirĩte ki hĩndĩ ya rũhuho rwa gũthini-rĩ,
18 Didst thou spread out, with him, the skies, 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 Let us know what we shall say to him, We cannot set in order, by reason of darkness.
“Ta twĩre ũrĩa twagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũmwĩra; tũtingĩhota gwĩciirĩra nĩ ũndũ wa nduma iitũ.
20 Shall it be declared to him—that I would speak? Were any man to say aught, he might he destroyed?
Nĩagĩrĩire kwĩrwo atĩ nĩngwenda kwaria? Nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ o na ũ ũngiuga amerio?
21 Yet, now, men see not the light, bright though it is in the skies, when, a wind, hath passed over, and cleansed them.
Rĩu-rĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩhota kũrora riũa, rĩcangararĩte kũu igũrũ thuutha wakuo kũhaatwo nĩ rũhuho gũgathera.
22 Out of the north, a golden light cometh, Upon GOD, is fearful splendour:
Okaga kuuma mwena wa gathigathini arĩ na riiri ukengeete ta wa thahabu; Ngai okaga arĩ na ũkaru wa gwĩtigĩrwo.
23 The Almighty, whom we have not fully found out, is great in vigour, —Neither, justice nor abounding righteousness, will he weaken.
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, do men revere him, He will not regard any who are wise in heart.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ nĩmamũtĩĩte, tondũ githĩ ndarũmbũyagia arĩa meyonaga ta marĩ oogĩ na ngoro ciao?”
