Hiob 37
1 “Esia na nye dzi lã kpo eye wòti kpo le enɔƒe.
At this, my heart became frightened, and it has been moved from its place.
2 O ɖo to! Ɖo to eƒe gbe ƒe gbeɖeɖe kple bublu si le dodom tso eƒe nu me.
Pay close attention to the alarm of his voice and to the sound that proceeds from his mouth.
3 Eɖe asi le eƒe dzokeke ŋu ɖe yame katã eye wòɖoe ɖe anyigba ƒe mlɔenu ke hã
He beholds everything under the heavens, and his light reaches beyond the ends of the earth.
4 Eƒe gbeɖeɖe kplɔa esia ɖo, ebluna kple eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ƒe gbe. Ne eƒe gbe ɖi la, meléa naneke ɖi o.
After this, a noise will sound; he will thunder with the voice of his greatness, and it will not be tracked down, yet his voice will be obeyed.
5 Mawu ƒe gbe bluna le nukumɔwo dzi, ewɔa nu dzɔtsu siwo kɔ wu míaƒe gɔmesese.
God will thunder with his voice miraculously, for he performs great and unsearchable things.
6 Egblɔna na tsikpe be, ‘Dza ɖe anyigba dzi’ eye na tsi be, ‘Nye tsi gã aɖe nàdza.’
He commands the snow to descend on earth, and the winter rains, and the shower of his strength.
7 Ale be amegbetɔ siwo katã wòwɔ la nanya eƒe dɔwɔwɔ, eye wòɖoa asi ame sia ame ƒe dɔ dzi.
He signs the hand of all men, so that each one may know his works.
8 Gbemelãwo sina bena eye wonɔa woƒe dowo me.
The beast will enter his hiding-place, and he will remain in his cave.
9 Ahom tsoa eƒe xɔa me vana eye ya sesẽwo hea vuvɔ vɛ.
From the interior, a storm will come forth, and a cold winter from the north.
10 Mawu ƒe gbɔgbɔ hea fafa gã aɖe vɛ eye tsi gbanawo dzi zua tsikpe.
As God breathes out, frost forms, and the waters are poured forth very widely again.
11 Enyɔa tsi ɖe lilikpowo me, ekakaa eƒe dzikedzo to wo me.
Crops desire clouds, and the clouds scatter their light.
12 Le eƒe mɔfiafia nu wotrɔa trɔgodoe le anyigba la katã ŋkume, be woawɔ nu sia nu si ƒe se wòde na wo.
It shines all around, wherever the will of him that governs them will lead, to anywhere he will command, over the whole face of the earth,
13 Ehea lilikpowo vɛ be woahe to na amewo alo be woade tsi anyigba, ne wòaɖe eƒe lɔlɔ̃ afia ameawo.
whether in one tribe, or in his own region, or in whatever place of his mercy that he will order them to be found.
14 “Hiob, ɖo to nàse nu sia, zi ɖoɖoe eye nàbu Mawu ƒe nukunuwo ŋu.
Listen to these things, Job. Stand up and consider the wonders of God.
15 Ènya ale si Mawu léa lilikpowo ɖe asii, eye wònana dzi kea dzoa?
Do you know when God ordered the rains, so as to show the light of his clouds?
16 Ènya ale si lilikpowo wɔ hafi le yamea, ènya nukunu siwo nye ame si de blibo le gɔmesese me la tɔa?
Do you know the great paths of the clouds, and the perfect sciences?
17 Wò ame si le fifia tem le wò awuwo me, ne dzieheya xɔdzo nya ƒo to anyigba dzi ko,
Are not your garments hot, when the south wind blows across the land?
18 àte ŋu akpe ɖe eŋu le dziŋgɔli ƒe keke ɖe yame me, nu si sesẽ abe ahuhɔ̃e si wowɔ kple akɔbli enea?
Perhaps you have made the heavens with him, which are very solid, as if they had been cast from brass.
19 “Gblɔ nu si míagblɔ nɛ la na mí, míate ŋu ahe míaƒe nya ayi egbɔe o elabena míawo míele viviti me.
Reveal to us what we should say to him, for, of course, we are wrapped in darkness.
20 Wonegblɔ nɛ be medi be maƒo nua? Ɖe ame aɖe abia be wonemi ye agbagbea?
Who will explain to him the things that I am saying? Even while a man is still speaking, he will be devoured.
21 Azɔ la, ame aɖeke mate ŋu akpɔ ɣe o elabena ele keklẽm le dziƒo ŋutɔ, esi yaƒoƒo na eƒe mo kɔ nyuie.
Although they do not see the light, the air will be thickened suddenly into clouds, and the wind, passing by, will drive them away.
22 Edo tso anyiehe kple sikatsyɔ̃ɖoɖo. Mawu ɖiɖi va le ŋɔdzi ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe me.
Riches arrive from the north, and fearful praise reaches out to God.
23 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.
We are not worthy to be able to find him. Great in strength, great in judgment, great in justice: he is indescribable.
24 Eya ta amewo dea bubu eŋu elabena ɖe medea bubu ame siwo katã ƒe dzi me nunya le la ŋu oa?”
Therefore, men will fear him, and all those who seem to themselves to be wise, will not dare to contemplate him.
