Job 37
1 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place.
“Kana irratti onneen koo ni dhikkifata; iddoo isaatiis ni uʼutaala.
2 Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound [that] goeth out of his mouth.
Dhaggeeffadhaa! Iyya sagalee isaa, guungummii afaan isaatii baʼu illee dhagaʼaa.
3 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning to the ends of the earth.
Inni bakakkaa isaa samii hunda jalatti gad dhiisa; gara handaara lafaattis ni erga.
4 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellence; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
Ergasii sagaleen guungummii isaa ni dhufa; inni sagalee isaa ulfina qabeessa sanaan ni qaqawweessaʼa. Yommuu sagaleen isaa dhagaʼamutti, inni waan tokko illee hin qusatu.
5 God thundereth marvelously with his voice; great things he doeth, which we cannot comprehend.
Sagaleen Waaqaa haala dinqisiisaadhaan ni qaqawweessaʼa; inni waan guddaa hubannaa keenyaa ol taʼe godha.
6 For he saith to the snow, Be thou [on] the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
Inni cabbiidhaan, ‘Lafa irra buʼi;’ tiifuudhaanis, ‘Bokkaa jabaa taʼi’ jedha.
7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
Akka namni inni uume hundi hojii isaa beekuuf, inni harka tokkoo tokkoo namaa chaappessa.
8 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
Bineensonni holqa isaaniitti galu; daʼannoo isaanii keessas ni turu.
9 From the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold from the north.
Bubbeen hamaan iddoo isaatii ni baʼa; dhaamochis bubbee bittinneessu keessaa ni baʼa.
10 By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
Hafuurri Waaqni baafatu cabbii uuma; bishaanonni babalʼaanis ni ititu.
11 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:
Inni duumessoota bishaan baachisa; bakakkaa isaas isaan keessa facaasa.
12 And it is turned around by his counsels: that they may do whatever he commandeth them upon the face of the world on the earth.
Isaan waan inni ajaju hunda hojjechuuf, qajeelfama inni kennuun addunyaa hunda irra naannaʼu.
13 He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
Inni namoota adabuuf, yookaan lafa isaa obaasee jaalala isaa argisiisuuf jedhee duumessa fida.
14 Hearken to this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
“Yaa Iyyoob waan kana dhaggeeffadhu; mee of qabiitii hojii Waaqaa isa dinqisiisaa sana hubadhu.
15 Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
Waaqni akkamitti duumessoota akka ajajuu fi akkamitti akka balaqqeessisu ati ni beektaa?
16 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
Akka itti duumessoonni wal qixxaatanii rarraʼan, hojii dinqisiisaa Waaqaa isa beekumsaan mudaa hin qabne sanaa beektaa?
17 How thy garments [are] warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south [wind]?
Ati kan yeroo lafti bubbee kibbaatiin calʼistutti hoʼa wayyaa keetiitiin waxalamtu,
18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky [which is] strong, [and] as a molten looking-glass?
samii akkuma of-ilaalee naasii baqfamee jabaatu sana diriirsuu keessatti isa gargaaruu ni dandeessaa?
19 Teach us what we shall say to him; [for] we cannot order [our speech] by reason of darkness.
“Waan nu isaan jennu nutti himi; nu sababii dukkana keenyaatiifuu dubbii keenya qajeelfachuu hin dandeenyu.
20 Shall it be told him that I speak? If a man shall speak, surely he will be swallowed up.
Akka ani dubbachuu fedhu isatti himamuu qabaa? Namni kam iyyuu liqimfamuuf ni gaafataa?
21 And now [men] see not the bright light which [is] in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
Erga qilleensi samiiwwan qulqulleessee booddee, namni aduu humna guutuun iftu ilaaluu dandaʼu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
22 Fair weather cometh from the north: with God [is] terrible majesty.
Waaqni bareedina warqeetiin kaabaa ni dhufa; inni ulfina isaa isa sodaachisaa sanaan ni dhufa.
23 [Touching] the Almighty, we cannot find him out: [he is] excellent in power, and in judgment, and in abundance of justice: he will not afflict.
Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu hubannaa keenyaa oli; inni humnaa fi murtii qajeelaadhaan guddaa dha; qajeelummaan isaa baayʼee dha; inni nama hin cunqursu.
24 Men therefore fear him: he respecteth not any [that are] wise of heart.
Kanaafuu, namoonni isa sodaatu; inni warra ogeeyyii of seʼan hunda waʼittuu hin hedu.”
