Hiob 37
1 “Esia na nye dzi lã kpo eye wòti kpo le enɔƒe.
At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place.
2 O ɖo to! Ɖo to eƒe gbe ƒe gbeɖeɖe kple bublu si le dodom tso eƒe nu me.
Hearken ye unto the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of 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 majesty: and he stayeth them not when his voice is heard.
5 Mawu ƒe gbe bluna le nukumɔwo dzi, ewɔa nu dzɔtsu siwo kɔ wu míaƒe gɔmesese.
God thundereth marvelously with his voice; great things doeth 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 saith to the snow, Fall thou on the earth; likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of his mighty rain.
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 whom he hath made may know [it].
8 Gbemelãwo sina bena eye wonɔa woƒe dowo me.
Then the beasts go into coverts, and remain in their dens.
9 Ahom tsoa eƒe xɔa me vana eye ya sesẽwo hea vuvɔ vɛ.
Out of the chamber [of the south] cometh the storm: 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 ice is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
11 Enyɔa tsi ɖe lilikpowo me, ekakaa eƒe dzikedzo to wo me.
Yea, he ladeth the thick cloud with moisture; he spreadeth abroad the cloud of his lightning:
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 guidance, that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the habitable world.
13 Ehea lilikpowo vɛ be woahe to na amewo alo be woade tsi anyigba, ne wòaɖe eƒe lɔlɔ̃ afia ameawo.
Whether it be for correction, or for his land, or for mercy, that he cause it to come.
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?
Dost thou know how God layeth [his charge] upon them, and causeth the lightning 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?
Dost thou 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 thy garments are warm, when the earth is still by reason of 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?
Canst thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong as 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; [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 would speak? or should a man wish that he were 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 which is bright in the skies: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
22 Edo tso anyiehe kple sikatsyɔ̃ɖoɖo. Mawu ɖiɖi va le ŋɔdzi ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe me.
Out of the north cometh golden splendour: God hath upon him 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.
[Touching] the Almighty, we can not find him out; he is excellent in power: and in judgment and plenteous 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 regardeth not any that are wise of heart.
