Job 37
1 “Nʼihi nke a, obi m na-ama jijiji, na-amali elu site nʼọnọdụ ya.
Yea, at this, my heart quaketh, and starteth up out of its place.
2 Gee ntị! Gee ntị nụrụ ụda olu ya, na ụzụ nke si nʼọnụ ya apụta.
Hear! oh hear! the raging of his voice, A growling sound also, out of his mouth, goeth forth;
3 Ọ na-atọpụ amụma ya ka ọ na-ejeru nʼokpuru eluigwe niile, ọ na-ezisakwa ya ebe niile ụwa sọtụrụ.
Under the whole heavens, he letteth it loose, His lightning also, unto the wings 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, roareth a voice, He thundereth with his voice of majesty, Nor will he hold them back, 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, wonderfully, Doing great things, which we cannot know;
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, to the snow, he saith, Fall earthwards, —Also to the downpour of rain, yea the downpour of his mighty rains.
7 Ka mmadụ o kere mata akaọrụ ya; ọ na-emekwa ka mmadụ ọbụla kwụsị ịdọgbu onwe ya nʼọrụ.
On the hand of every man, he setteth a seal, that all men may take note of his doing.
8 Ụmụ anụmanụ bi nʼọhịa na-agbaba zoo onwe; ha na-anọgide nʼebe obibi ha.
So then the wild-beast hath gone into covert, and, in its lairs, doth it remain.
9 Oke ifufe na-esite nʼụlọ ya na-abịa, oyi na-esitekwa nʼikuku na-agbasa agbasa.
Out of a chamber cometh a storm-wind, and, out of the north, cold.
10 Iku ume Chineke na-emepụta mkpụrụ mmiri, ogbu mmiri na-akpụkọtakwa.
By the breath of GOD, is given—frost, and, the breadth of waters, is congealed;
11 Ọ na-eme ka igwe ojii jupụta na mmiri; na-eme ka amụma gbuo nʼime igwe ojii.
Also, with moisture, burdeneth he the thick cloud, He disperseth his lightning-cloud;
12 Site na ntụziaka ya ka ha na-echigharị onwe ha gburugburu imezu ihe ọbụla ọ chọrọ ka ha mee nʼelu ụwa niile.
Yea, the same, in circles, turneth itself to and fro, by his steering them to their work, whithersoever he commandeth them, over the face of the world, towards the earth.
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, as a rod, or for his earth, or in lovingkindness, he causeth it to come.
14 “Job, gee ntị. Tulee ọrụ ebube niile Chineke na-arụ.
Give thou ear unto this, O Job, Stay, and consider well the wonders of GOD: —
15 Ị maara otu Chineke si achịkọta igwe ojii na-eme ka amụma gbuo?
Canst thou got to know of GOD’S giving charge over them, or of the causing of the lightning of his cloud to shine forth?
16 Ị maara otu Chineke si kwụba igwe ojii na mbara eluigwe, nke bụ ọrụ ebube onye ihe ọmụma ya zuruoke?
Canst thou get to know concerning the poisings of the thick cloud, the wonders of one 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,
That thy garments should be hot when he quieteth the earth from the south?
18 ị pụrụ iso ya tụsaa mbara eluigwe nke dị ike dịka enyo bronz a wụrụ awụ?
Didst thou spread out, with him, the skies, 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.
Let us know what we shall say to him, We cannot set in order, 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 declared to him—that I would speak? Were any man to say aught, he might he destroyed?
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.
Yet, now, men see not the light, bright though it is in the skies, when, a wind, hath passed over, and cleansed them.
22 Nʼugwu ka ebube na-enwu dịka ọlaedo si apụta; Chineke na-eji ebube dị egwu na-abịa.
Out of the north, a golden light cometh, Upon GOD, is fearful splendour:
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, whom we have not fully found out, is great in vigour, —Neither, justice nor abounding righteousness, will he weaken.
24 Ya mere, ụmụ mmadụ na-atụ egwu ya, ọ bụ na o nweghị nsọpụrụ nye ndị niile obi ha maara ihe?”
Therefore, do men revere him, He will not regard any who are wise in heart.
