Job 37
1 “Nʼihi nke a, obi m na-ama jijiji, na-amali elu site nʼọnọdụ ya.
At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place.
2 Gee ntị! Gee ntị nụrụ ụda olu ya, na ụzụ nke si nʼọnụ ya apụta.
Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound [that] goeth 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 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 a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellence; and he will not stay them 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 marvelously with his voice; great things he doeth, 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; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
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 may know his work.
8 Ụmụ anụmanụ bi nʼọhịa na-agbaba zoo onwe; ha na-anọgide nʼebe obibi ha.
Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
9 Oke ifufe na-esite nʼụlọ ya na-abịa, oyi na-esitekwa nʼikuku na-agbasa agbasa.
From the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold from the north.
10 Iku ume Chineke na-emepụta mkpụrụ mmiri, ogbu mmiri na-akpụkọtakwa.
By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
11 Ọ na-eme ka igwe ojii jupụta na mmiri; na-eme ka amụma gbuo nʼime igwe ojii.
Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:
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 around by his counsels: that they may do whatever he commandeth them upon the face of the world on 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.
He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
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?
Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light 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?
Dost thou know the balancings 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 he quieteth the earth by the south [wind]?
18 ị pụrụ iso ya tụsaa mbara eluigwe nke dị ike dịka enyo bronz a wụrụ awụ?
Hast thou with him spread out the sky [which is] strong, [and] as a molten looking-glass?
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 order [our speech] 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 speak? If a man shall speak, surely he will be 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] see not the bright light which [is] in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
22 Nʼugwu ka ebube na-enwu dịka ọlaedo si apụta; Chineke na-eji ebube dị egwu na-abịa.
Fair weather cometh from the north: 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.
[Touching] the Almighty, we cannot find him out: [he is] excellent in power, and in judgment, and in abundance of justice: 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 respecteth not any [that are] wise of heart.
