< Job 37 >

1 “Yes, at this my heart trembles, and is moved out of its place.
“Esia na nye dzi lã kpo eye wòti kpo le enɔƒe.
2 Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, the sound that goes out of his mouth.
O ɖo to! Ɖo to eƒe gbe ƒe gbeɖeɖe kple bublu si le dodom tso eƒe nu me.
3 He sends it out under the whole sky, and his lightning to the ends of the earth.
Eɖe asi le eƒe dzokeke ŋu ɖe yame katã eye wòɖoe ɖe anyigba ƒe mlɔenu ke hã
4 After it a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty. He doesn’t hold back anything when his voice is heard.
Eƒe gbeɖeɖe kplɔa esia ɖo, ebluna kple eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ƒe gbe. Ne eƒe gbe ɖi la, meléa naneke ɖi o.
5 God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can’t comprehend.
Mawu ƒe gbe bluna le nukumɔwo dzi, ewɔa nu dzɔtsu siwo kɔ wu míaƒe gɔmesese.
6 For he says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of his mighty rain.
Egblɔna na tsikpe be, ‘Dza ɖe anyigba dzi’ eye na tsi be, ‘Nye tsi gã aɖe nàdza.’
7 He seals up the hand of every man, that all men whom he has made may know it.
Ale be amegbetɔ siwo katã wòwɔ la nanya eƒe dɔwɔwɔ, eye wòɖoa asi ame sia ame ƒe dɔ dzi.
8 Then the animals take cover, and remain in their dens.
Gbemelãwo sina bena eye wonɔa woƒe dowo me.
9 Out of its room comes the storm, and cold out of the north.
Ahom tsoa eƒe xɔa me vana eye ya sesẽwo hea vuvɔ vɛ.
10 By the breath of God, ice is given, and the width of the waters is frozen.
Mawu ƒe gbɔgbɔ hea fafa gã aɖe vɛ eye tsi gbanawo dzi zua tsikpe.
11 Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.
Enyɔa tsi ɖe lilikpowo me, ekakaa eƒe dzikedzo to wo me.
12 It is turned around by his guidance, that they may do whatever he commands them on the surface of the habitable world,
Le eƒe mɔfiafia nu wotrɔa trɔgodoe le anyigba la katã ŋkume, be woawɔ nu sia nu si ƒe se wòde na wo.
13 whether it is for correction, or for his land, or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come.
Ehea lilikpowo vɛ be woahe to na amewo alo be woade tsi anyigba, ne wòaɖe eƒe lɔlɔ̃ afia ameawo.
14 “Listen to this, Job. Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
“Hiob, ɖo to nàse nu sia, zi ɖoɖoe eye nàbu Mawu ƒe nukunuwo ŋu.
15 Do you know how God controls them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
Ènya ale si Mawu léa lilikpowo ɖe asii, eye wònana dzi kea dzoa?
16 Do you know the workings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
Ènya ale si lilikpowo wɔ hafi le yamea, ènya nukunu siwo nye ame si de blibo le gɔmesese me la tɔa?
17 You whose clothing is warm when the earth is still by reason of the south wind?
Wò ame si le fifia tem le wò awuwo me, ne dzieheya xɔdzo nya ƒo to anyigba dzi ko,
18 Can you, with him, spread out the sky, which is strong as a cast metal mirror?
àte ŋu akpe ɖe eŋu le dziŋgɔli ƒe keke ɖe yame me, nu si sesẽ abe ahuhɔ̃e si wowɔ kple akɔbli enea?
19 Teach us what we will tell him, for we can’t make our case by reason of darkness.
“Gblɔ nu si míagblɔ nɛ la na mí, míate ŋu ahe míaƒe nya ayi egbɔe o elabena míawo míele viviti me.
20 Will it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
Wonegblɔ nɛ be medi be maƒo nua? Ɖe ame aɖe abia be wonemi ye agbagbea?
21 Now men don’t see the light which is bright in the skies, but the wind passes, and clears them.
Azɔ la, ame aɖeke mate ŋu akpɔ ɣe o elabena ele keklẽm le dziƒo ŋutɔ, esi yaƒoƒo na eƒe mo kɔ nyuie.
22 Out of the north comes golden splendor. With God is awesome majesty.
Edo tso anyiehe kple sikatsyɔ̃ɖoɖo. Mawu ɖiɖi va le ŋɔdzi ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe me.
23 We can’t reach the Almighty. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.
Ame aɖeke matu Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la o elabena togbɔ be eƒe ŋusẽ de dzi bobobo, le eƒe afiatsotso kple dzɔdzɔenyenye gã la me hã la, metea ame aɖeke ɖe anyi o.
24 Therefore men revere him. He doesn’t regard any who are wise of heart.”
Eya ta amewo dea bubu eŋu elabena ɖe medea bubu ame siwo katã ƒe dzi me nunya le la ŋu oa?”
