Job 37
1 “Nʼihi nke a, obi m na-ama jijiji, na-amali elu site nʼọnọdụ ya.
At this my heart trembleth, And leapeth out of its place.
2 Gee ntị! Gee ntị nụrụ ụda olu ya, na ụzụ nke si nʼọnụ ya apụta.
Hear, O hear, the thunder of his voice, And the noise which goeth forth from his mouth!
3 Ọ na-atọpụ amụma ya ka ọ na-ejeru nʼokpuru eluigwe niile, ọ na-ezisakwa ya ebe niile ụwa sọtụrụ.
He directeth it 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 the thunder roareth; He thundereth with his voice of majesty, And restraineth it not, 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 thundereth with his voice marvellously; Great things doeth he, 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 saith to the snow, “Be thou on the earth!” To the shower also, even the showers of his might.
7 Ka mmadụ o kere mata akaọrụ ya; ọ na-emekwa ka mmadụ ọbụla kwụsị ịdọgbu onwe ya nʼọrụ.
He sealeth up the hand of every man, That all men whom he hath made may acknowledge him.
8 Ụmụ anụmanụ bi nʼọhịa na-agbaba zoo onwe; ha na-anọgide nʼebe obibi ha.
Then the beasts go into dens, And abide in their caverns.
9 Oke ifufe na-esite nʼụlọ ya na-abịa, oyi na-esitekwa nʼikuku na-agbasa agbasa.
Out of the south cometh the whirlwind, 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 formed, And the broad waters become narrow,
11 Ọ na-eme ka igwe ojii jupụta na mmiri; na-eme ka amụma gbuo nʼime igwe ojii.
Yea, with moisture he burdeneth the clouds; He spreadeth abroad his lightning-clouds.
12 Site na ntụziaka ya ka ha na-echigharị onwe ha gburugburu imezu ihe ọbụla ọ chọrọ ka ha mee nʼelu ụwa niile.
They move about by his direction, To execute all his commands throughout the 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.
Whether he cause them to come for punishment, Or for the land, or for mercy.
14 “Job, gee ntị. Tulee ọrụ ebube niile Chineke na-arụ.
Give ear 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?
Dost thou know when God gave commandment to them, And caused the lightning of his cloud to flash?
16 Ị maara otu Chineke si kwụba igwe ojii na mbara eluigwe, nke bụ ọrụ ebube onye ihe ọmụma ya zuruoke?
Dost thou understand the balancing of the clouds, The wondrous works of Him that 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 become warm, When he maketh the earth still by the south wind?
18 ị pụrụ iso ya tụsaa mbara eluigwe nke dị ike dịka enyo bronz a wụrụ awụ?
Canst thou like him spread out the sky, Which is firm like 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! For we cannot set in order our words by reason 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? Shall a man speak, that he may be consumed?
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.
For now men do not look upon the light, When it is bright in the skies, When the wind hath passed over them, and made them clear.
22 Nʼugwu ka ebube na-enwu dịka ọlaedo si apụta; Chineke na-eji ebube dị egwu na-abịa.
From the north cometh gold; But with God is terrible 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.
The Almighty, we cannot find him out; Great is he in power and justice, Abundant in righteousness; he doth not oppress.
24 Ya mere, ụmụ mmadụ na-atụ egwu ya, ọ bụ na o nweghị nsọpụrụ nye ndị niile obi ha maara ihe?”
Therefore let men fear him! Upon none of the wise in heart will he look.
