Job 37
1 “Yes, at this my heart trembles, and is moved out of its place.
“Nʼihi nke a, obi m na-ama jijiji, na-amali elu site nʼọnọdụ ya.
2 Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, the sound that goes out of his mouth.
Gee ntị! Gee ntị nụrụ ụda olu ya, na ụzụ nke si nʼọnụ ya apụta.
3 He sends it out under the whole sky, and his lightning to the ends of the earth.
Ọ na-atọpụ amụma ya ka ọ na-ejeru nʼokpuru eluigwe niile, ọ na-ezisakwa ya ebe niile ụwa sọtụrụ.
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.
Nke a gasịa, ihe ọzọ na-eso ya bụ mbigbọ nke olu ike ya; ụda olu ya na ada ụda dịka egbe eluigwe, mgbe olu ahụ dara dakwasị, ọ naghị egbochi amụma igbu egbu.
5 God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can’t comprehend.
Nʼụzọ dị ebube ka olu Chineke si ada dịka egbe eluigwe; ọ na-eme ọtụtụ ihe ukwuu nke anyị na-apụghị ịghọta.
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.
Nʼihi na ọ bụ ya na-agwa snoo okwu sị: ‘Daa nʼelu ala,’ na-agwakwa mmiri ozuzo okwu sị, ‘Zoo nnukwu mmiri ozuzo.’
7 He seals up the hand of every man, that all men whom he has made may know it.
Ka mmadụ o kere mata akaọrụ ya; ọ na-emekwa ka mmadụ ọbụla kwụsị ịdọgbu onwe ya nʼọrụ.
8 Then the animals take cover, and remain in their dens.
Ụmụ anụmanụ bi nʼọhịa na-agbaba zoo onwe; ha na-anọgide nʼebe obibi ha.
9 Out of its room comes the storm, and cold out of the north.
Oke ifufe na-esite nʼụlọ ya na-abịa, oyi na-esitekwa nʼikuku na-agbasa agbasa.
10 By the breath of God, ice is given, and the width of the waters is frozen.
Iku ume Chineke na-emepụta mkpụrụ mmiri, ogbu mmiri na-akpụkọtakwa.
11 Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.
Ọ na-eme ka igwe ojii jupụta na mmiri; na-eme ka amụma gbuo nʼime igwe ojii.
12 It is turned around by his guidance, that they may do whatever he commands them on the surface of the habitable world,
Site na ntụziaka ya ka ha na-echigharị onwe ha gburugburu imezu ihe ọbụla ọ chọrọ ka ha mee nʼelu ụwa niile.
13 whether it is for correction, or for his land, or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come.
Ọ na-ewebata igwe ojii maka ịta ndị mmadụ ahụhụ, na-eweta ya maka ime ka mmiri zokwasị elu ala igosi ịhụnanya ya.
14 “Listen to this, Job. Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
“Job, gee ntị. Tulee ọrụ ebube niile Chineke na-arụ.
15 Do you know how God controls them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
Ị maara otu Chineke si achịkọta igwe ojii na-eme ka amụma gbuo?
16 Do you know the workings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
Ị maara otu Chineke si kwụba igwe ojii na mbara eluigwe, nke bụ ọrụ ebube onye ihe ọmụma ya zuruoke?
17 You whose clothing is warm when the earth is still by reason of the south wind?
Gị onye uwe i yi nʼahụ na-ekpo gị ọkụ mgbe ụwa dere jii nʼihi ifufe na-esite na ndịda na-abịa,
18 Can you, with him, spread out the sky, which is strong as a cast metal mirror?
ị pụrụ iso ya tụsaa mbara eluigwe nke dị ike dịka enyo bronz a wụrụ awụ?
19 Teach us what we will tell him, for we can’t make our case by reason of darkness.
“Gwa anyị ihe anyị ga-azaghachi ya; ebe ọ bụ na anyị apụghị ido okwu anyị nʼusoro nʼihi ọchịchịrị nke anyị nọ nʼime ya.
20 Will it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
A ga-agwa ya na m nwere okwu? Ọ dị mmadụ ọbụla ga-achọ ka e loda ya?
21 Now men don’t see the light which is bright in the skies, but the wind passes, and clears them.
Ugbu a, ọ dịghị mmadụ ọbụla pụrụ ilekwasị anyanwụ anya ka ọ na-achake na mbara igwe, mgbe ifufe ji ngwangwa gabiga mee ka o nwuo ọcha.
22 Out of the north comes golden splendor. With God is awesome majesty.
Nʼugwu ka ebube na-enwu dịka ọlaedo si apụta; Chineke na-eji ebube dị egwu na-abịa.
23 We can’t reach the Almighty. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.
Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile bụ onye anyị na-enweghị ike chọta. Ike ya dị ukwuu, nʼikpe ikpe ya ziri ezi na ezi omume ya bara ụba, ọ naghị emegbu mmadụ.
24 Therefore men revere him. He doesn’t regard any who are wise of heart.”
Ya mere, ụmụ mmadụ na-atụ egwu ya, ọ bụ na o nweghị nsọpụrụ nye ndị niile obi ha maara ihe?”
