Job 37
1 “My heart pounds [DOU] when [I think about] that.
“An bende mor ma kamano miyo chunya bwok kendo ridore.
2 Listen, all of you, to the thunder, which is like God’s voice [DOU].
Lingʼuru kendo uwinj dwond Nyasaye kaka mor ka polo, kendo winjuru weche mawuok e dhoge.
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.
En emomiyo mil polo menyo kor polo duto, chakre tungʼ piny konchiel nyaka komachielo.
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.
Bangʼ mano iwinjo dwonde ka mor matek kendo omor gi dwol mar duongʼne. Ka dwonde ochako mor, to onge gima nyalo gengʼe.
5 When God speaks, it is awesome, like thunder; he does amazing things which we cannot [fully] understand.
Dwond Nyasaye mor e yo miwuoro; otimo gik madongo moyombo parowa.
6 He commands the snow to fall on the ground, and [sometimes] he causes it to rain very hard.
Owacho ne pe ni, ‘Lwar piny,’ kendo ne nyidho matin ni, ‘Lokri koth maduongʼ.’
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).
Otimo kamano mondo ji duto mane ochweyo, ongʼe kaka tichne chalo mi ji duto bed gi luoro nikech teko mare.
8 [When it rains, ] animals go into their hiding places, and they remain there [until the rain stops].
Le ringo pondo; gisiko e buchegi.
9 The storms/hurricanes come from the place [in the south where they start], and the cold wind comes from the north.
Ahiti biro koa kuma opandee, kendo koyo mangʼich bende yamo riembo mi ke.
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.
Much Nyasaye kelo pe kendo pige mopongʼo wi lowo poto mabed matek ka lwanda.
11 God fills the clouds with moisture/hail, and lightning flashes from the clouds.
Opongʼo boche polo gi ngʼich mar pi kendo okeyo mil polo mare ei bochego.
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.
Gilwore mana kaka Nyasaye dwaro, ka gidhi e wangʼ piny duto ka gitimo gima ochikogi.
13 Sometimes God sends rain to punish us, and sometimes he sends rain to show us that he acts kindly toward us.
Ndalo moko Nyasaye kelo rumbi e piny mondo okumgo ji, to ndalo moko okelo koth mondo onyisgo herane.
14 “Job, listen to this; stop and think about the wonderful things that God does.
“Winjie wachni, Ayub; bed mos ipar gik miwuoro mag Nyasaye.
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]
Bende ingʼeyo kaka Nyasaye chiko boche polo kendo kaka omiyo polo mil?
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]
Bende ingʼeyo kaka boche oliero e kor polo, gik miwuoro mag Jal ma riekone tut mogik?
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).
To in ma kinde ma yamb milambo kudho mi two piny, to isiko mana ka luya chami ei lewni mirwakogi,
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]
bende inyalo konye yaro polo, mi obed matek ka mula mothedhi?
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.
“Nyiswa ane gima dwanyis Nyasaye machalo kamano ka kata mana pek ma wan-go ok wanyal ketone e yo mayot.
20 Should I tell God that I want to speak to him? No, because [if I did that, ] he might destroy me.
Bende en gima owinjore mondo onyise ka adwaro wuoyo? Donge ngʼama ohedhore timo kamano dotieki?
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].
Koro onge ngʼama nyalo rango wangʼ chiengʼ tir, nikech polo olendo kendo orieny makech; yamo oseriembo boche duto moweyo kor polo nono.
22 God comes out of the north with a light [that shines like] gold; his glory causes us to be afraid.
Nyasaye wuok koa yo nyandwat ka en gi duongʼ malich machalo gi lich mar dhahabu.
23 Almighty God is very powerful, and we cannot come near to him. He always acts righteously, and he will never oppress us.
Jehova Nyasaye Maratego oyombowa mabor kendo en gi teko maduongʼ ok otim marach ne ji, nikech en ja-adiera kendo opongʼ gi tim makare.
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.”
Mano emomiyo ji miye luor, nikech ok opak joma pachgi wuondo ni riek.”
