Job 37
1 “Nʼihi nke a, obi m na-ama jijiji, na-amali elu site nʼọnọdụ ya.
Yea, at this my heart trembles, and is moved out of its place.
2 Gee ntị! Gee ntị nụrụ ụda olu ya, na ụzụ nke si nʼọnụ ya apụta.
Hear, O, hear the noise of his voice, and the sound that goes out of his mouth.
3 Ọ na-atọpụ amụma ya ka ọ na-ejeru nʼokpuru eluigwe niile, ọ na-ezisakwa ya ebe niile ụwa sọtụrụ.
He sends it forth under the whole heaven, and his lightning to the ends of the earth.
4 Nke a gasịa, ihe ọzọ na-eso ya bụ mbigbọ nke olu ike ya; ụda olu ya na ada ụda dịka egbe eluigwe, mgbe olu ahụ dara dakwasị, ọ naghị egbochi amụma igbu egbu.
After it a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty, and he does not restrain the lightnings when his voice is heard.
5 Nʼụzọ dị ebube ka olu Chineke si ada dịka egbe eluigwe; ọ na-eme ọtụtụ ihe ukwuu nke anyị na-apụghị ịghọta.
God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things which we cannot comprehend.
6 Nʼihi na ọ bụ ya na-agwa snoo okwu sị: ‘Daa nʼelu ala,’ na-agwakwa mmiri ozuzo okwu sị, ‘Zoo nnukwu mmiri ozuzo.’
For he says to the snow, Fall thou on the earth, likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of his mighty rain.
7 Ka mmadụ o kere mata akaọrụ ya; ọ na-emekwa ka mmadụ ọbụla kwụsị ịdọgbu onwe ya nʼọrụ.
He seals up the hand of every man, that all men whom he has made may know it.
8 Ụmụ anụmanụ bi nʼọhịa na-agbaba zoo onwe; ha na-anọgide nʼebe obibi ha.
Then the beasts go into coverts, and remain in their dens.
9 Oke ifufe na-esite nʼụlọ ya na-abịa, oyi na-esitekwa nʼikuku na-agbasa agbasa.
Out of the chamber of the south comes the storm, and cold out of the north.
10 Iku ume Chineke na-emepụta mkpụrụ mmiri, ogbu mmiri na-akpụkọtakwa.
By the breath of God ice is given, and the breadth of the waters is narrowed.
11 Ọ na-eme ka igwe ojii jupụta na mmiri; na-eme ka amụma gbuo nʼime igwe ojii.
Yea, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning,
12 Site na ntụziaka ya ka ha na-echigharị onwe ha gburugburu imezu ihe ọbụla ọ chọrọ ka ha mee nʼelu ụwa niile.
and it is turned round about by his guidance, that they may do whatever he commands them upon the face of the habitable world.
13 Ọ na-ewebata igwe ojii maka ịta ndị mmadụ ahụhụ, na-eweta ya maka ime ka mmiri zokwasị elu ala igosi ịhụnanya ya.
He causes it to come, whether it be for correction, or for his land, or for loving kindness.
14 “Job, gee ntị. Tulee ọrụ ebube niile Chineke na-arụ.
Hearken to this, O Job. Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Ị maara otu Chineke si achịkọta igwe ojii na-eme ka amụma gbuo?
Do thou know how God lays his charge upon them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
16 Ị maara otu Chineke si kwụba igwe ojii na mbara eluigwe, nke bụ ọrụ ebube onye ihe ọmụma ya zuruoke?
Do thou know the balancing of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
17 Gị onye uwe i yi nʼahụ na-ekpo gị ọkụ mgbe ụwa dere jii nʼihi ifufe na-esite na ndịda na-abịa,
How thy garments are warm when the earth is still because of the south wind?
18 ị pụrụ iso ya tụsaa mbara eluigwe nke dị ike dịka enyo bronz a wụrụ awụ?
Can thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong as a molten mirror?
19 “Gwa anyị ihe anyị ga-azaghachi ya; ebe ọ bụ na anyị apụghị ido okwu anyị nʼusoro nʼihi ọchịchịrị nke anyị nọ nʼime ya.
Teach us what we shall say to him. We cannot set in array because of darkness.
20 A ga-agwa ya na m nwere okwu? Ọ dị mmadụ ọbụla ga-achọ ka e loda ya?
Shall it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
21 Ugbu a, ọ dịghị mmadụ ọbụla pụrụ ilekwasị anyanwụ anya ka ọ na-achake na mbara igwe, mgbe ifufe ji ngwangwa gabiga mee ka o nwuo ọcha.
And now men do not see the light which is bright in the skies, but the wind passes, and clears them.
22 Nʼugwu ka ebube na-enwu dịka ọlaedo si apụta; Chineke na-eji ebube dị egwu na-abịa.
Out of the north comes golden splendor. God has upon him awesome majesty.
23 Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile bụ onye anyị na-enweghị ike chọta. Ike ya dị ukwuu, nʼikpe ikpe ya ziri ezi na ezi omume ya bara ụba, ọ naghị emegbu mmadụ.
O the Almighty, we cannot find him out. He is excellent in power. And in justice and abundant righteousness he will not afflict.
24 Ya mere, ụmụ mmadụ na-atụ egwu ya, ọ bụ na o nweghị nsọpụrụ nye ndị niile obi ha maara ihe?”
Men therefore fear him. He does not regard any who are wise of heart.
