Hiob 37
1 “Esia na nye dzi lã kpo eye wòti kpo le enɔƒe.
Aye, my heart trembleth at this also, and leapeth up out of its place:
2 O ɖo to! Ɖo to eƒe gbe ƒe gbeɖeɖe kple bublu si le dodom tso eƒe nu me.
Hear attentively the roar of his voice, and the murmur going forth from his mouth.
3 Eɖe asi le eƒe dzokeke ŋu ɖe yame katã eye wòɖoe ɖe anyigba ƒe mlɔenu ke hã
He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto 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 it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency, and holdeth not back the flashes when his voice is heard.
5 Mawu ƒe gbe bluna le nukumɔwo dzi, ewɔa nu dzɔtsu siwo kɔ wu míaƒe gɔmesese.
God thundereth marvellously with his voice, doing great things which we do not comprehend.
6 Egblɔna na tsikpe be, ‘Dza ɖe anyigba dzi’ eye na tsi be, ‘Nye tsi gã aɖe nàdza.’
For he saith to the snow, Fall on the earth! and to the pouring rain, even the pouring rains of his might.
7 Ale be amegbetɔ siwo katã wòwɔ la nanya eƒe dɔwɔwɔ, eye wòɖoa asi ame sia ame ƒe dɔ dzi.
He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
8 Gbemelãwo sina bena eye wonɔa woƒe dowo me.
And the wild beast goeth into its lair, and they remain in their dens.
9 Ahom tsoa eƒe xɔa me vana eye ya sesẽwo hea vuvɔ vɛ.
From the chamber [of the south] cometh the whirlwind; and cold from the winds of the north.
10 Mawu ƒe gbɔgbɔ hea fafa gã aɖe vɛ eye tsi gbanawo dzi zua tsikpe.
By the breath of God ice is given; and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
11 Enyɔa tsi ɖe lilikpowo me, ekakaa eƒe dzikedzo to wo me.
Also with plentiful moisture he loadeth the thick clouds, his light dispels the cloud;
12 Le eƒe mɔfiafia nu wotrɔa trɔgodoe le anyigba la katã ŋkume, be woawɔ nu sia nu si ƒe se wòde na wo.
And they are turned every way by his guidance, that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the circuit of the earth,
13 Ehea lilikpowo vɛ be woahe to na amewo alo be woade tsi anyigba, ne wòaɖe eƒe lɔlɔ̃ afia ameawo.
Whether he cause it to come as a rod, or for his land, or in mercy.
14 “Hiob, ɖo to nàse nu sia, zi ɖoɖoe eye nàbu Mawu ƒe nukunuwo ŋu.
Hearken unto this, Job; stand still and discern the wondrous works of God.
15 Ènya ale si Mawu léa lilikpowo ɖe asii, eye wònana dzi kea dzoa?
Dost thou know how God hath disposed them, and how he causeth the lightning of his cloud to flash?
16 Ènya ale si lilikpowo wɔ hafi le yamea, ènya nukunu siwo nye ame si de blibo le gɔmesese me la tɔa?
Dost thou know about the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him that is perfect in knowledge?
17 Wò ame si le fifia tem le wò awuwo me, ne dzieheya xɔdzo nya ƒo to anyigba dzi ko,
How thy garments become warm when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?
18 àte ŋu akpe ɖe eŋu le dziŋgɔli ƒe keke ɖe yame me, nu si sesẽ abe ahuhɔ̃e si wowɔ kple akɔbli enea?
Hast thou with him spread out the sky, firm, like a molten mirror?
19 “Gblɔ nu si míagblɔ nɛ la na mí, míate ŋu ahe míaƒe nya ayi egbɔe o elabena míawo míele viviti me.
Teach us what we shall say unto him! We cannot order [our words] by reason of darkness.
20 Wonegblɔ nɛ be medi be maƒo nua? Ɖe ame aɖe abia be wonemi ye agbagbea?
Shall it be told him if I would speak? if a man [so] say, surely he shall be swallowed up.
21 Azɔ la, ame aɖeke mate ŋu akpɔ ɣe o elabena ele keklẽm le dziƒo ŋutɔ, esi yaƒoƒo na eƒe mo kɔ nyuie.
And now [men] see not the light as it gleameth, it is [hidden] in the skies. But the wind passeth by and cleareth them.
22 Edo tso anyiehe kple sikatsyɔ̃ɖoɖo. Mawu ɖiɖi va le ŋɔdzi ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe me.
From the north cometh gold; with God is terrible majesty.
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.
The Almighty, we cannot find him out: excellent in power, and in judgment, and in abundance of justice, he doth not afflict.
24 Eya ta amewo dea bubu eŋu elabena ɖe medea bubu ame siwo katã ƒe dzi me nunya le la ŋu oa?”
Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
