Ayubu 37
1 “Ndaigua ũguo ngoro yakwa ĩgatumatuuma, na ĩkambarara ĩkoima handũ hayo.
“Also, my heart trembles at this, And it moves from its place.
2 Thikĩrĩria! Thikĩrĩria mũraramo wa mũgambo wake, mũrurumo ũrĩa uumaga kanua gake.
Listen diligently to the trembling of His voice, Indeed, the sound goes forth from His mouth.
3 Arekagĩrĩria rũheni rwake rungu rwa igũrũ guothe na akarũtũma nginya ituri cia thĩ.
He directs it under the whole heavens, And its light [is] over the skirts of the earth.
4 Thuutha waruo gũũkaga mũgambo wa mũraramo wake; arurumaga na mũgambo wake mũkaru. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũgambo wake waiguuo-rĩ, ndarigagĩrĩria heni.
A voice roars after it—He thunders with the voice of His excellence, And He does not hold them back, When His voice is heard.
5 Mũgambo wa Mũrungu ũrurumaga na njĩra ya magegania; ekaga maũndũ manene tũtangĩhota kũmenya.
God thunders with His voice wonderfully, Doing great things and we do not know.
6 Eeraga tharunji atĩrĩ, ‘Gwa thĩ,’ nayo mbura ya rũthuthuũ akamĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Tuĩka mbura nene.’
For He says to snow: Be [on] the earth. And the small rain and great rain of His power.
7 Nĩatigithagia mũndũ o wothe wĩra wake nĩgeetha andũ othe ombĩte mamenye wĩra wake.
Into the hand of every man he seals, For the knowledge by all men of His work.
8 Nyamũ nacio nĩciĩhithaga; ciikaraga imamo-inĩ ciacio.
And the beast enters into [its] lair, And it continues in its habitations.
9 Kĩhuhũkanio kiumaga gĩikaro gĩakĩo, heho nayo ĩkoima rũhuho-inĩ rũkĩhurutana.
From the inner chamber comes a windstorm, And from scatterings winds—cold,
10 Mĩhũmũ ya Mũrungu nĩĩthondekaga mbarabu, namo maaĩ harĩa maaramĩire makanyiitana.
From the breath of God is frost given, And the breadth of waters is constricted,
11 Nĩaiyũragia matu na ũigũ; ahurunjaga rũheni rũkamatũrĩkia.
Indeed, by filling He presses out a cloud, [and] His light scatters a cloud.
12 Mathiiaga magĩthiũrũrũkaga o kũrĩa angĩmeerekeria thĩ yothe, mageeke o ũrĩa wothe angĩmaatha.
And it is turning itself around by His counsels, For their doing all He commands them, On the face of the habitable earth.
13 Arehaga matu macio nĩguo aherithie andũ, kana aihũgie thĩ yake na onanie wendani wake.
Whether for a rod, or for His land, Or for kindness—He causes it to come.
14 “Ayubu, thikĩrĩria ũhoro ũyũ; tithĩria hau wĩcũũranie ũhoro wa magegania ma Mũrungu.
Hear this, O Job, Stand and consider the wonders of God.
15 Wee nĩũũĩ ũrĩa Ngai aathaga matu, na ũrĩa atũmaga rũheni rwake rũhenũke?
Do you know when God places them, And caused the light of His cloud to shine?
16 Wee nĩũũĩ ũrĩa matu macio macuurĩtio wega, magegania macio ma ũrĩa ũrĩ ũmenyo mũkinyanĩru?
Do you know the balancings of a cloud? The wonders of the Perfect in knowledge?
17 Wee ũringĩkaga nĩ ũrugarĩ wa nguo ciaku rĩrĩa bũrũri ũkirĩte ki hĩndĩ ya rũhuho rwa gũthini-rĩ,
How your garments [are] warm, In the quieting of the earth from the south?
18 no ũhote kũruta wĩra nake ũhoro-inĩ wa gũtambũrũkia matu mairũ, o macio momĩte o ta gĩcicio gĩa gĩcango?
You have made an expanse with Him For the clouds—strong as a hard mirror!
19 “Ta twĩre ũrĩa twagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũmwĩra; tũtingĩhota gwĩciirĩra nĩ ũndũ wa nduma iitũ.
Let us know what we say to Him, We do not set in array because of darkness.
20 Nĩagĩrĩire kwĩrwo atĩ nĩngwenda kwaria? Nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ o na ũ ũngiuga amerio?
Is it declared to Him that I speak? If a man has spoken, surely he is swallowed up.
21 Rĩu-rĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩhota kũrora riũa, rĩcangararĩte kũu igũrũ thuutha wakuo kũhaatwo nĩ rũhuho gũgathera.
And now, they have not seen the light, It [is] bright in the clouds, And the wind has passed by and cleanses them.
22 Okaga kuuma mwena wa gathigathini arĩ na riiri ukengeete ta wa thahabu; Ngai okaga arĩ na ũkaru wa gwĩtigĩrwo.
It comes from the golden north, Fearful splendor [is] beside God.
23 Ũcio Mwene-Hinya-Wothe-rĩ, tũtingĩhota kũmũkinyĩra, nĩatũũgĩrĩtio nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoti wake; tondũ wa ũrĩa arĩ wa kĩhooto na ũthingu mũnene-rĩ, ndahinyanagĩrĩria.
The Mighty! We have not found Him out, High in power and judgment, He does not answer! And abundant in righteousness,
24 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ nĩmamũtĩĩte, tondũ githĩ ndarũmbũyagia arĩa meyonaga ta marĩ oogĩ na ngoro ciao?”
Therefore men fear Him, He does not see any of the wise of heart.”
