< איוב 37 >
אַף־לְזֹאת יֶחֱרַד לִבִּי וְיִתַּר מִמְּקוֹמֽוֹ׃ | 1 |
Also, at this my heart trembleth, And it moveth from its place.
שִׁמְעוּ שָׁמוֹעַ בְּרֹגֶז קֹלוֹ וְהֶגֶה מִפִּיו יֵצֵֽא׃ | 2 |
Hearken diligently to the trembling of His voice, Yea, the sound from His mouth goeth forth.
תַּֽחַת־כׇּל־הַשָּׁמַיִם יִשְׁרֵהוּ וְאוֹרוֹ עַל־כַּנְפוֹת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 3 |
Under the whole heavens He directeth it, And its light [is] over the skirts of the earth.
אַחֲרָיו ׀ יִשְׁאַג־קוֹל יַרְעֵם בְּקוֹל גְּאוֹנוֹ וְלֹא יְעַקְּבֵם כִּֽי־יִשָּׁמַע קוֹלֽוֹ׃ | 4 |
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.
יַרְעֵם אֵל בְּקוֹלוֹ נִפְלָאוֹת עֹשֶׂה גְדֹלוֹת וְלֹא נֵדָֽע׃ | 5 |
God thundereth with His voice wonderfully, Doing great things and we know not.
כִּי לַשֶּׁלֶג ׀ יֹאמַר הֱוֵא ־ אָרֶץ וְגֶשֶׁם מָטָר וְגֶשֶׁם מִטְרוֹת עֻזּֽוֹ׃ | 6 |
For to snow He saith, 'Be [on] the earth.' And the small rain and great rain of His power.
בְּיַד־כׇּל־אָדָם יַחְתּוֹם לָדַעַת כׇּל־אַנְשֵׁי מַעֲשֵֽׂהוּ׃ | 7 |
Into the hand of every man he sealeth, For the knowledge by all men of His work.
וַתָּבוֹא חַיָּה בְמוֹ־אָרֶב וּבִמְעוֹנֹתֶיהָ תִשְׁכֹּֽן׃ | 8 |
And enter doth the beast into covert, And in its habitations it doth continue.
מִן־הַחֶדֶר תָּבוֹא סוּפָה וּֽמִמְּזָרִים קָרָֽה׃ | 9 |
From the inner chamber cometh a hurricane, And from scatterings winds — cold,
מִנִּשְׁמַת־אֵל יִתֶּן־קָרַח וְרֹחַב מַיִם בְּמוּצָֽק׃ | 10 |
From the breath of God is frost given, And the breadth of waters is straitened,
אַף־בְּרִי יַטְרִיחַ עָב יָפִיץ עֲנַן אוֹרֽוֹ׃ | 11 |
Yea, by filling He doth press out a cloud, Scatter a cloud doth His light.
וְהוּא מְסִבּוֹת ׀ מִתְהַפֵּךְ בְּתַחְבּוּלֹתָו לְפׇעֳלָם כֹּל אֲשֶׁר יְצַוֵּם ׀ עַל־פְּנֵי תֵבֵל אָֽרְצָה׃ | 12 |
And it is turning itself round by His counsels, For their doing all He commandeth them, On the face of the habitable earth.
אִם־לְשֵׁבֶט אִם־לְאַרְצוֹ אִם־לְחֶסֶד יַמְצִאֵֽהוּ׃ | 13 |
Whether for a rod, or for His land, Or for kindness — He doth cause it to come.
הַאֲזִינָה זֹּאת אִיּוֹב עֲמֹד וְהִתְבּוֹנֵן ׀ נִפְלְאוֹת אֵֽל׃ | 14 |
Hear this, O Job, Stand and consider the wonders of God.
הֲתֵדַע בְּשׂוּם־אֱלוֹהַּ עֲלֵיהֶם וְהֹפִיעַ אוֹר עֲנָנֽוֹ׃ | 15 |
Dost thou know when God doth place them, And caused to shine the light of His cloud?
הֲתֵדַע עַל־מִפְלְשֵׂי־עָב מִפְלְאוֹת תְּמִים דֵּעִֽים׃ | 16 |
Dost thou know the balancings of a cloud? The wonders of the Perfect in knowledge?
אֲשֶׁר־בְּגָדֶיךָ חַמִּים בְּהַשְׁקִט אֶרֶץ מִדָּרֽוֹם׃ | 17 |
How thy garments [are] warm, In the quieting of the earth from the south?
תַּרְקִיעַ עִמּוֹ לִשְׁחָקִים חֲזָקִים כִּרְאִי מוּצָֽק׃ | 18 |
Thou hast made an expanse with Him For the clouds — strong as a hard mirror!
הוֹדִיעֵנוּ מַה־נֹּאמַר לוֹ לֹֽא־נַעֲרֹךְ מִפְּנֵי־חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃ | 19 |
Let us know what we say to Him, We set not in array because of darkness.
הַֽיְסֻפַּר־לוֹ כִּי אֲדַבֵּר אִֽם־אָמַר אִישׁ כִּי יְבֻלָּֽע׃ | 20 |
Is it declared to Him that I speak? If a man hath spoken, surely he is swallowed up.
וְעַתָּה ׀ לֹא רָאוּ אוֹר בָּהִיר הוּא בַּשְּׁחָקִים וְרוּחַ עָבְרָה וַֽתְּטַהֲרֵֽם׃ | 21 |
And now, they have not seen the light, Bright it [is] in the clouds, And the wind hath passed by and cleanseth them.
מִצָּפוֹן זָהָב יֶאֱתֶה עַל־אֱלוֹהַּ נוֹרָא הֽוֹד׃ | 22 |
From the golden north it cometh, Beside God [is] fearful honour.
שַׁדַּי לֹא־מְצָאנֻהוּ שַׂגִּיא־כֹחַ וּמִשְׁפָּט וְרֹב־צְדָקָה לֹא יְעַנֶּֽה׃ | 23 |
The Mighty! we have not found Him out, High in power and judgment, He doth not answer! And abundant in righteousness,
לָכֵן יְרֵאוּהוּ אֲנָשִׁים לֹֽא־יִרְאֶה כׇּל־חַכְמֵי־לֵֽב׃ | 24 |
Therefore do men fear Him, He seeth not any of the wise of heart.
