Hiob 37
1 “Esia na nye dzi lã kpo eye wòti kpo le enɔƒe.
At this my heart trembles, beating rapidly within me!
2 O ɖo to! Ɖo to eƒe gbe ƒe gbeɖeɖe kple bublu si le dodom tso eƒe nu me.
Listen carefully to God's thunderous voice that rumbles as he speaks.
3 Eɖe asi le eƒe dzokeke ŋu ɖe yame katã eye wòɖoe ɖe anyigba ƒe mlɔenu ke hã
He sends it across the heaven; his lightning flashes to 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.
Then comes the roar of thunder, his majestic voice holding nothing back when he speaks.
5 Mawu ƒe gbe bluna le nukumɔwo dzi, ewɔa nu dzɔtsu siwo kɔ wu míaƒe gɔmesese.
God's thunderous voice is wonderful! We can't comprehend the great things he does!
6 Egblɔna na tsikpe be, ‘Dza ɖe anyigba dzi’ eye na tsi be, ‘Nye tsi gã aɖe nàdza.’
He tells the snow to fall and the rain to pour down on the earth.
7 Ale be amegbetɔ siwo katã wòwɔ la nanya eƒe dɔwɔwɔ, eye wòɖoa asi ame sia ame ƒe dɔ dzi.
By this he stops people working so that everyone can understand what he does.
8 Gbemelãwo sina bena eye wonɔa woƒe dowo me.
Even the animals take shelter and remain in their dens.
9 Ahom tsoa eƒe xɔa me vana eye ya sesẽwo hea vuvɔ vɛ.
The south wind blows in storms, while the north wind blows in cold weather.
10 Mawu ƒe gbɔgbɔ hea fafa gã aɖe vɛ eye tsi gbanawo dzi zua tsikpe.
God's breath produces ice, freezing the surface of water solid.
11 Enyɔa tsi ɖe lilikpowo me, ekakaa eƒe dzikedzo to wo me.
He fills the clouds with moisture; he scatters his lightning from them.
12 Le eƒe mɔfiafia nu wotrɔa trɔgodoe le anyigba la katã ŋkume, be woawɔ nu sia nu si ƒe se wòde na wo.
They swirl around under his control; they move over all the earth as he commands.
13 Ehea lilikpowo vɛ be woahe to na amewo alo be woade tsi anyigba, ne wòaɖe eƒe lɔlɔ̃ afia ameawo.
He does this to accomplish his will, either to discipline or to show his goodness.
14 “Hiob, ɖo to nàse nu sia, zi ɖoɖoe eye nàbu Mawu ƒe nukunuwo ŋu.
Listen to this, Job! Stop for a moment and consider the wonderful things God does.
15 Ènya ale si Mawu léa lilikpowo ɖe asii, eye wònana dzi kea dzoa?
Do you know how God controls the clouds, or makes his lightning flash from them?
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 how clouds float in the sky—the wonderful work of him who knows everything.
17 Wò ame si le fifia tem le wò awuwo me, ne dzieheya xɔdzo nya ƒo to anyigba dzi ko,
You know how your clothes drip with sweat when the south wind brings air that is hot and heavy.
18 àte ŋu akpe ɖe eŋu le dziŋgɔli ƒe keke ɖe yame me, nu si sesẽ abe ahuhɔ̃e si wowɔ kple akɔbli enea?
Can you hammer out the sky so it becomes like a molten mirror, as he does?
19 “Gblɔ nu si míagblɔ nɛ la na mí, míate ŋu ahe míaƒe nya ayi egbɔe o elabena míawo míele viviti me.
So why don't you teach us what to tell God? We cannot make our case because we are in the dark!
20 Wonegblɔ nɛ be medi be maƒo nua? Ɖe ame aɖe abia be wonemi ye agbagbea?
Should God be told that I want to speak? Anyone who wanted to would be destroyed!
21 Azɔ la, ame aɖeke mate ŋu akpɔ ɣe o elabena ele keklẽm le dziƒo ŋutɔ, esi yaƒoƒo na eƒe mo kɔ nyuie.
After all, we can't look at the sun when it blazes brightly in the sky, after the wind has cleared away the clouds.
22 Edo tso anyiehe kple sikatsyɔ̃ɖoɖo. Mawu ɖiɖi va le ŋɔdzi ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe me.
Out of the north God comes shining like gold, surrounded in awesome 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.
We cannot approach the Almighty for he is far beyond us in power and justice, and doing right.
24 Eya ta amewo dea bubu eŋu elabena ɖe medea bubu ame siwo katã ƒe dzi me nunya le la ŋu oa?”
He does not act like a tyrant—no wonder people are in awe of him, though he does not value those who think they're wise.”
