Job 37
1 “My heart pounds [DOU] when [I think about] that.
Hete hnonaw ni hai ka lungthin a pâyaw sak teh, lung paluekpaluek ati sak.
2 Listen, all of you, to the thunder, which is like God’s voice [DOU].
Khoparit pawlawk hah kahawicalah thai haw, a pahni dawk hoi ka tâcawt e ka cairing e naw hah.
3 He causes thunder to be heard all across the sky, and he causes lighting to flash to the most distant places on the earth.
Kalvan rahim pueng a tha teh, a angnae teh talai apout touh.
4 After [the lightning flashes], we hear the thunder which is like [MET] God’s majestic voice; he does not restrain the lightning when he speaks.
Hahoi lawk a tâco teh, a lentoenae lawk hah a kampaw sak. A lawk a thai awh nakunghai kâhat sak hoeh.
5 When God speaks, it is awesome, like thunder; he does amazing things which we cannot [fully] understand.
Cathut ni kângairunae hoi a lawk a kampaw sak, a lentoenae hno panue thai awh hoeh e hah a sak.
6 He commands the snow to fall on the ground, and [sometimes] he causes it to rain very hard.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, tadamtui koe vah, talai dawk bawt haw telah ati. Hot patetlah, athaonae hoi khorak kayoun hoi khorak kapap koehai a dei pouh.
7 And [when God does that, ] it prevents people [SYN] from working, in order that all people may know that he is the one who has done that (OR, what he can do).
Tami pueng ni a sak e a panue awh thai nahanelah, tami pueng e kut hah mitnout a ta pouh.
8 [When it rains, ] animals go into their hiding places, and they remain there [until the rain stops].
Moithangnaw ni lungngoum thung a kâen awh teh, a onae hmuen dawk lengkaleng ao awh.
9 The storms/hurricanes come from the place [in the south where they start], and the cold wind comes from the north.
Aka lahoi bongparui a tâco teh, Atunglah hoi kahlî pâding a tâco.
10 [In the (winter/cold season), the cold north wind is like] God’s breath [that] causes [MET] water to freeze; he causes the lakes/streams to become ice.
Cathut e a kâha ni tui a kamkak sak teh, kakawpoung lah kâkadai e tui hah a kamkak sak.
11 God fills the clouds with moisture/hail, and lightning flashes from the clouds.
Tâmai dawk hoi kho a rak sak teh, a raeng hoi tâmai a kâhin sak.
12 He guides the clouds and causes them to move back and forth in order that they may accomplish all that he commands them to do, all over the world.
Talaivan pueng dawkvah kâ a poe e naw pueng hah a sak awh nahanelah, amae hrawinae dawk hoi a kamlang awh teh, meng a ban awh.
13 Sometimes God sends rain to punish us, and sometimes he sends rain to show us that he acts kindly toward us.
Hring tounnae dawk thoseh, a ram hane dawk thoseh, a lungmanae dawk thoseh, ao sak e doeh.
14 “Job, listen to this; stop and think about the wonderful things that God does.
Oe Job, hetheh thai haw, duem awm nateh, kangdout haw. Kângairu Cathut ni a sak e hah pouk haw.
15 (Do you know how God commands the lightning to flash down from the clouds?/We do not know how God commands the lightning to flash down from the clouds.) [RHQ]
Cathut ni ka ang e tâmai hah ang hanelah, nâtuek vaimoe a patoun tie hah na panue maw.
16 Only God knows everything perfectly; so (do you know how he causes the clouds to (move/float) (amazingly/wonderfully) across the sky?/you certainly do not know how he causes the clouds to (move/float) (amazingly/wonderfully) across the sky!) [RHQ]
Tâmai a tawmnae hoi panuenae kakueplah ka tawn e ni, a sak e kângairunae hah na panue maw.
17 No, you just sweat there in your clothes; [it is very oppressive] when the [hot] wind stops blowing from the south and [all the leaves on the trees] (become still/do not move).
Bangdawkmaw na hnicunaw a phubet teh, nâtuek maw akalae kahlî ni talai a pâding sak.
18 (Can you stretch out the skies like God does and make them as hard as [SIM] a sheet of polished brass?/You certainly cannot stretch out the skies like God does and make them as hard as [SIM] a sheet of polished brass!) [RHQ]
Hlun e rahum hlalang patetlah a tha ka sai e kalvan hah ama hoi reirei na phai roi boimaw.
19 “Job, tell us(exc) what we should say to God; we do not know anything [IDM]. As a result, we do not know what to say to him to defend ourselves.
Ama koe dei awh hanelah na cangkhai awh haw, bangkongtetpawiteh, hmonae kecu dawk, banghai kârakueng thai awh hoeh.
20 Should I tell God that I want to speak to him? No, because [if I did that, ] he might destroy me.
Dei han ka ngai telah, ama koe dei hane na maw. Tami buetbuet touh dei sak boipawiteh, a payon roeroe han.
21 Now, people cannot look [directly] at the sun when it shines brightly in the sky after the wind has blown the clouds away; [so, we certainly cannot look at the brightness of God].
Kahlî a tho teh kalvan hah pin a kâhin sak torei teh, tami ni a angnae hah khen thai hoeh.
22 God comes out of the north with a light [that shines like] gold; his glory causes us to be afraid.
Atung lahoi sui raimonae patetlah a tâco teh, Cathut hoi takitho taluenae lah ao.
23 Almighty God is very powerful, and we cannot come near to him. He always acts righteously, and he will never oppress us.
Athakasaipounge, teh hmawt thai hoeh. Ama teh ahlawilah hnotithainae a tawn teh, a lannae hoi lawkcengnae dawk hnephnapnae awm hoeh.
24 That is the reason that we have an awesome respect for him; he does not pay attention to those who proudly, [but wrongly], think that they are wise.”
Hatdawkvah, ama teh tami ni a taki awh. A lungkaang e taminaw koe hai, kapeknae tawn hoeh telah ati.
