< Job 37 >
1 “Yes, at this my heart trembles, and is moved out of its place.
“Àyà sì fò mi sí èyí pẹ̀lú, ó sì kúrò ní ipò rẹ̀.
2 Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, the sound that goes out of his mouth.
Fetísílẹ̀! Fetísílẹ̀, kí ẹ sì gbọ́ ìró ohùn rẹ̀, àti èyí tí ó ti ẹnu rẹ̀ jáde wá.
3 He sends it out under the whole sky, and his lightning to the ends of the earth.
Ó ṣe ìlànà rẹ̀ ní ìsàlẹ̀ ọ̀run gbogbo, mọ̀nàmọ́ná rẹ̀ ni ó sì jọ̀wọ́ rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ dé òpin ilẹ̀ ayé.
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.
Lẹ́yìn mọ̀nàmọ́ná ohùn kan fọ̀ ramúramù; ó sì fi ohùn ọláńlá rẹ̀ sán àrá. Òhun kì yóò sì dá àrá dúró, nígbà tí ó bá ń gbọ́ ohùn rẹ̀.
5 God thunders marvellously with his voice. He does great things, which we can’t comprehend.
Ọlọ́run fi ohùn rẹ̀ sán àrá ní ọ̀nà ìyanu; ohùn ńlá ńlá ni í ṣe tí àwa kò le mọ̀.
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.
Nítorí tí ó wí fún yìnyín pé, ‘Ìwọ rọ̀ sílẹ̀ ayé,’ àti pẹ̀lú fún ọwọ́ òjò, ‘Fún òjò ńlá agbára rẹ̀.’
7 He seals up the hand of every man, that all men whom he has made may know it.
Ó fi èdìdì di ọwọ́ gbogbo ènìyàn kí gbogbo wọn kí ó lè mọ iṣẹ́ rẹ̀, ó sì tún dá olúkúlùkù ènìyàn dúró lẹ́nu iṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
8 Then the animals take cover, and remain in their dens.
Nígbà náà ní àwọn ẹranko wọ inú ihò lọ, wọn a sì wà ni ipò wọn.
9 Out of its room comes the storm, and cold out of the north.
Láti ìhà gúúsù ni ìjì àjàyíká tí jáde wá, àti òtútù láti inú afẹ́fẹ́ ti tú àwọsánmọ̀ ká.
10 By the breath of God, ice is given, and the width of the waters is frozen.
Nípa ẹ̀mí Ọlọ́run a fi ìdí omi fún ni, ibú omi á sì súnkì.
11 Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.
Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú ó fi omi púpọ̀ mú àwọsánmọ̀ wúwo, a sì tú àwọsánmọ̀ ìmọ́lẹ̀ rẹ̀ ká ara wọn.
12 It is turned around by his guidance, that they may do whatever he commands them on the surface of the habitable world,
Àwọn wọ̀nyí yí káàkiri nípa ìlànà rẹ̀, kí wọn kí ó lè ṣe ohunkóhun tí ó pàṣẹ fún wọn lórí ilẹ̀ ayé.
13 whether it is for correction, or for his land, or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come.
Ó mú àwọsánmọ̀ wá, ìbá ṣe fún ìkìlọ̀, tàbí omi wá sí ayé láti fi ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ hàn.
14 “Listen to this, Job. Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
“Jobu, dẹtí sílẹ̀ sí èyí; dúró jẹ́ẹ́ kí o sì ro iṣẹ́ ìyanu Ọlọ́run.
15 Do you know how God controls them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
Ṣe ìwọ mọ àkókò ìgbà tí Ọlọ́run ṣe wọ́n lọ́jọ̀, tí ó sì mú ìmọ́lẹ̀ àwọsánmọ̀ rẹ̀ dán?
16 Do you know the workings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
Ṣé ìwọ mọ ìgbà tí àwọsánmọ̀ í fò lọ, iṣẹ́ ìyanu ẹni tí ó pé ní ìmọ̀?
17 You whose clothing is warm when the earth is still by reason of the south wind?
Ìwọ ẹni ti aṣọ rẹ̀ ti máa n gbóná, nígbà tí ó fi atẹ́gùn ìhà gúúsù mú ayé dákẹ́.
18 Can you, with him, spread out the sky, which is strong as a cast metal mirror?
Ìwọ ha ba tẹ́ pẹpẹ ojú ọ̀run, tí ó dúró ṣinṣin, tí ó sì dàbí dígí tí ó yọ̀ dà?
19 Teach us what we will tell him, for we can’t make our case by reason of darkness.
“Kọ́ wa ní èyí tí a lè wí fún un; nítorí pé àwa kò le wádìí ọ̀rọ̀ náà nítorí òkùnkùn wa.
20 Will it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
A ó ha wí fún un pé, èmi fẹ́ sọ̀rọ̀? Tàbí ẹnìkan lè wí pé, ìfẹ́ mi ni pé kí a gbé mi mì?
21 Now men don’t see the light which is bright in the skies, but the wind passes, and clears them.
Síbẹ̀ nísinsin yìí ènìyàn kò rí oòrùn tí ń dán nínú àwọsánmọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n afẹ́fẹ́ ń kọjá, a sì gbá wọn mọ́.
22 Out of the north comes golden splendour. With God is awesome majesty.
Wúrà dídán ti inú ìhà àríwá jáde wá; lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run ni ọláńlá ẹ̀rù ńlá wa.
23 We can’t reach the Almighty. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.
Nípa ti Olódùmarè àwa kò le wádìí rẹ̀, ó rékọjá ní ipá; nínú ìdájọ́ àti títí bi òun kì í ba ẹ̀tọ́ àti ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ òtítọ́ jẹ́.
24 Therefore men revere him. He doesn’t regard any who are wise of heart.”
Nítorí náà ènìyàn ha máa bẹ̀rù rẹ̀, òun kì í ṣe ojú sájú ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó gbọ́n ní ayé?”
