Hiob 37
1 “Esia na nye dzi lã kpo eye wòti kpo le enɔƒe.
At this also my heart trembles, and is moved out of his place.
2 O ɖo to! Ɖo to eƒe gbe ƒe gbeɖeɖe kple bublu si le dodom tso eƒe nu me.
Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goes out of his mouth.
3 Eɖe asi le eƒe dzokeke ŋu ɖe yame katã eye wòɖoe ɖe anyigba ƒe mlɔenu ke hã
He directs it 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 roars: he thunders with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
5 Mawu ƒe gbe bluna le nukumɔwo dzi, ewɔa nu dzɔtsu siwo kɔ wu míaƒe gɔmesese.
God thunders marvellously with his voice; great things does he, which we cannot comprehend.
6 Egblɔna na tsikpe be, ‘Dza ɖe anyigba dzi’ eye na tsi be, ‘Nye tsi gã aɖe nàdza.’
For he says to the snow, Be you on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
7 Ale be amegbetɔ siwo katã wòwɔ la nanya eƒe dɔwɔwɔ, eye wòɖoa asi ame sia ame ƒe dɔ dzi.
He seals up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
8 Gbemelãwo sina bena eye wonɔa woƒe dowo me.
Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
9 Ahom tsoa eƒe xɔa me vana eye ya sesẽwo hea vuvɔ vɛ.
Out of the south comes the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.
10 Mawu ƒe gbɔgbɔ hea fafa gã aɖe vɛ eye tsi gbanawo dzi zua tsikpe.
By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
11 Enyɔa tsi ɖe lilikpowo me, ekakaa eƒe dzikedzo to wo me.
Also by watering he wearies the thick cloud: he scatters his bright 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 it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commands them upon the face of the world in the earth.
13 Ehea lilikpowo vɛ be woahe to na amewo alo be woade tsi anyigba, ne wòaɖe eƒe lɔlɔ̃ afia ameawo.
He causes it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
14 “Hiob, ɖo to nàse nu sia, zi ɖoɖoe eye nàbu Mawu ƒe nukunuwo ŋu.
Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Ènya ale si Mawu léa lilikpowo ɖe asii, eye wònana dzi kea dzoa?
Do you know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
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 balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which 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 your garments are warm, when he stills 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?
Have you with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?
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; for we cannot order our speech 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 that I speak? if a man speak, 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 bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passes, and cleanses them.
22 Edo tso anyiehe kple sikatsyɔ̃ɖoɖo. Mawu ɖiɖi va le ŋɔdzi ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe me.
Fair weather comes out of the north: 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.
Concerning the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will 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 respects not any that are wise of heart.
