Ayubu 37
1 “Ndaigua ũguo ngoro yakwa ĩgatumatuuma, na ĩkambarara ĩkoima handũ hayo.
“Yes, at this my heart trembles, and is moved out of its place.
2 Thikĩrĩria! Thikĩrĩria mũraramo wa mũgambo wake, mũrurumo ũrĩa uumaga kanua gake.
Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, the sound that goes out of his mouth.
3 Arekagĩrĩria rũheni rwake rungu rwa igũrũ guothe na akarũtũma nginya ituri cia thĩ.
He sends it out under the whole sky, and his lightning to the ends of the earth.
4 Thuutha waruo gũũkaga mũgambo wa mũraramo wake; arurumaga na mũgambo wake mũkaru. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũgambo wake waiguuo-rĩ, ndarigagĩrĩria heni.
After it a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty. He doesn’t hold back anything when his voice is heard.
5 Mũgambo wa Mũrungu ũrurumaga na njĩra ya magegania; ekaga maũndũ manene tũtangĩhota kũmenya.
God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can’t comprehend.
6 Eeraga tharunji atĩrĩ, ‘Gwa thĩ,’ nayo mbura ya rũthuthuũ akamĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Tuĩka mbura nene.’
For he says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of his mighty rain.
7 Nĩatigithagia mũndũ o wothe wĩra wake nĩgeetha andũ othe ombĩte mamenye wĩra wake.
He seals up the hand of every man, that all men whom he has made may know it.
8 Nyamũ nacio nĩciĩhithaga; ciikaraga imamo-inĩ ciacio.
Then the animals take cover, and remain in their dens.
9 Kĩhuhũkanio kiumaga gĩikaro gĩakĩo, heho nayo ĩkoima rũhuho-inĩ rũkĩhurutana.
Out of its room comes the storm, and cold out of the north.
10 Mĩhũmũ ya Mũrungu nĩĩthondekaga mbarabu, namo maaĩ harĩa maaramĩire makanyiitana.
By the breath of God, ice is given, and the width of the waters is frozen.
11 Nĩaiyũragia matu na ũigũ; ahurunjaga rũheni rũkamatũrĩkia.
Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.
12 Mathiiaga magĩthiũrũrũkaga o kũrĩa angĩmeerekeria thĩ yothe, mageeke o ũrĩa wothe angĩmaatha.
It is turned around by his guidance, that they may do whatever he commands them on the surface of the habitable world,
13 Arehaga matu macio nĩguo aherithie andũ, kana aihũgie thĩ yake na onanie wendani wake.
whether it is for correction, or for his land, or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come.
14 “Ayubu, thikĩrĩria ũhoro ũyũ; tithĩria hau wĩcũũranie ũhoro wa magegania ma Mũrungu.
“Listen to this, Job. Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Wee nĩũũĩ ũrĩa Ngai aathaga matu, na ũrĩa atũmaga rũheni rwake rũhenũke?
Do you know how God controls them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
16 Wee nĩũũĩ ũrĩa matu macio macuurĩtio wega, magegania macio ma ũrĩa ũrĩ ũmenyo mũkinyanĩru?
Do you know the workings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
17 Wee ũringĩkaga nĩ ũrugarĩ wa nguo ciaku rĩrĩa bũrũri ũkirĩte ki hĩndĩ ya rũhuho rwa gũthini-rĩ,
You whose clothing is warm when the earth is still by reason of the south wind?
18 no ũhote kũruta wĩra nake ũhoro-inĩ wa gũtambũrũkia matu mairũ, o macio momĩte o ta gĩcicio gĩa gĩcango?
Can you, with him, spread out the sky, which is strong as a cast metal mirror?
19 “Ta twĩre ũrĩa twagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũmwĩra; tũtingĩhota gwĩciirĩra nĩ ũndũ wa nduma iitũ.
Teach us what we will tell him, for we can’t make our case by reason of darkness.
20 Nĩagĩrĩire kwĩrwo atĩ nĩngwenda kwaria? Nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ o na ũ ũngiuga amerio?
Will it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
21 Rĩu-rĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩhota kũrora riũa, rĩcangararĩte kũu igũrũ thuutha wakuo kũhaatwo nĩ rũhuho gũgathera.
Now men don’t see the light which is bright in the skies, but the wind passes, and clears them.
22 Okaga kuuma mwena wa gathigathini arĩ na riiri ukengeete ta wa thahabu; Ngai okaga arĩ na ũkaru wa gwĩtigĩrwo.
Out of the north comes golden splendor. With God is awesome majesty.
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.
We can’t reach the Almighty. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.
24 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ nĩmamũtĩĩte, tondũ githĩ ndarũmbũyagia arĩa meyonaga ta marĩ oogĩ na ngoro ciao?”
Therefore men revere him. He doesn’t regard any who are wise of heart.”
