Hiob 37
1 “Esia na nye dzi lã kpo eye wòti kpo le enɔƒe.
Also, at this my heart trembleth, And it moveth from its place.
2 O ɖo to! Ɖo to eƒe gbe ƒe gbeɖeɖe kple bublu si le dodom tso eƒe nu me.
Hearken diligently to the trembling of His voice, Yea, the sound from His mouth goeth forth.
3 Eɖe asi le eƒe dzokeke ŋu ɖe yame katã eye wòɖoe ɖe anyigba ƒe mlɔenu ke hã
Under the whole heavens He directeth it, And its light [is] over the skirts 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 roar doth a voice — He thundereth with the voice of His excellency, And He doth not hold them back, When His voice is heard.
5 Mawu ƒe gbe bluna le nukumɔwo dzi, ewɔa nu dzɔtsu siwo kɔ wu míaƒe gɔmesese.
God thundereth with His voice wonderfully, Doing great things and we know not.
6 Egblɔna na tsikpe be, ‘Dza ɖe anyigba dzi’ eye na tsi be, ‘Nye tsi gã aɖe nàdza.’
For to snow He saith, 'Be [on] the earth.' And the small rain and great rain of His power.
7 Ale be amegbetɔ siwo katã wòwɔ la nanya eƒe dɔwɔwɔ, eye wòɖoa asi ame sia ame ƒe dɔ dzi.
Into the hand of every man he sealeth, For the knowledge by all men of His work.
8 Gbemelãwo sina bena eye wonɔa woƒe dowo me.
And enter doth the beast into covert, And in its habitations it doth continue.
9 Ahom tsoa eƒe xɔa me vana eye ya sesẽwo hea vuvɔ vɛ.
From the inner chamber cometh a hurricane, And from scatterings winds — cold,
10 Mawu ƒe gbɔgbɔ hea fafa gã aɖe vɛ eye tsi gbanawo dzi zua tsikpe.
From the breath of God is frost given, And the breadth of waters is straitened,
11 Enyɔa tsi ɖe lilikpowo me, ekakaa eƒe dzikedzo to wo me.
Yea, by filling He doth press out a cloud, Scatter a cloud doth His light.
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 turning itself round by His counsels, For their doing all He commandeth them, On the face of the habitable earth.
13 Ehea lilikpowo vɛ be woahe to na amewo alo be woade tsi anyigba, ne wòaɖe eƒe lɔlɔ̃ afia ameawo.
Whether for a rod, or for His land, Or for kindness — He doth cause it to come.
14 “Hiob, ɖo to nàse nu sia, zi ɖoɖoe eye nàbu Mawu ƒe nukunuwo ŋu.
Hear this, O Job, Stand and consider the wonders of God.
15 Ènya ale si Mawu léa lilikpowo ɖe asii, eye wònana dzi kea dzoa?
Dost thou know when God doth place them, And caused to shine the light of His cloud?
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 a cloud? The wonders of the 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, In the quieting of the earth from the south?
18 àte ŋu akpe ɖe eŋu le dziŋgɔli ƒe keke ɖe yame me, nu si sesẽ abe ahuhɔ̃e si wowɔ kple akɔbli enea?
Thou hast made an expanse with Him For the clouds — strong as a hard mirror!
19 “Gblɔ nu si míagblɔ nɛ la na mí, míate ŋu ahe míaƒe nya ayi egbɔe o elabena míawo míele viviti me.
Let us know what we say to Him, We set not in array because of darkness.
20 Wonegblɔ nɛ be medi be maƒo nua? Ɖe ame aɖe abia be wonemi ye agbagbea?
Is it declared to Him that I speak? If a man hath spoken, surely he is 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, they have not seen the light, Bright it [is] in the clouds, And the wind hath passed by and cleanseth them.
22 Edo tso anyiehe kple sikatsyɔ̃ɖoɖo. Mawu ɖiɖi va le ŋɔdzi ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe me.
From the golden north it cometh, Beside God [is] fearful honour.
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 Mighty! we have not found Him out, High in power and judgment, He doth not answer! And abundant in righteousness,
24 Eya ta amewo dea bubu eŋu elabena ɖe medea bubu ame siwo katã ƒe dzi me nunya le la ŋu oa?”
Therefore do men fear Him, He seeth not any of the wise of heart.
