UJobe 37
1 Langenxa yalokho inhliziyo yami iyathuthumela, yeqe endaweni yayo.
At this also mine heart is astonied, and is mooued out of his place.
2 Zwana lokuzwa umdumo welizwi lakhe, lomsindo ophuma emlonyeni wakhe.
Heare the sound of his voyce, and the noyse that goeth out of his mouth.
3 Uyakukhulula ngaphansi kwamazulu wonke, lokukhanya kwakhe kuze kube semikhawulweni yomhlaba.
He directeth it vnder the whole heauen, and his light vnto the endes of the world.
4 Emva kwalokho kubhonga ilizwi, uyaduma ngelizwi lokuphakama kwakhe, angakunqandi lapho kuzwakala ilizwi lakhe.
After it a noyse soundeth: hee thundereth with the voyce of his maiestie, and hee will not stay them when his voyce is heard.
5 UNkulunkulu uyaduma ngelizwi lakhe ngokumangalisayo kakhulu, wenza izinto ezinkulu, esingeziqedisise.
God thundereth marueilously with his voyce: he worketh great things, which we know not.
6 Ngoba kuliqhwa elikhithikileyo uthi: Woba semhlabeni; lakuzihlambo zezulu, lakuzihlambo zezulu elikhulu lamandla akhe.
For he sayth to the snowe, Be thou vpon the earth: likewise to the small rayne and to the great rayne of his power.
7 Uyanamathelisa isandla somuntu wonke, ukuze bazi bonke abantu bomsebenzi wakhe.
With the force thereof he shutteth vp euery man, that all men may knowe his worke.
8 Inyamazana ziyangena emihomeni yazo, zihlale ezikhundleni zazo.
Then the beastes go into the denne, and remaine in their places.
9 Isivunguzane siphuma ekamelweni leningizimu, lomqando emimoyeni yenyakatho.
The whirlewind commeth out of the South, and the colde from the North winde.
10 Ngomoya kaNkulunkulu kunikwa ungqwaqwane, lamanzi abanzi abe yilitshe.
At the breath of God the frost is giuen, and the breadth of the waters is made narrowe.
11 Njalo uthwalisa amayezi ngobumanzi, ahlakaze iyezi lokukhanya kwakhe.
He maketh also the cloudes to labour, to water the earth, and scattereth the cloude of his light.
12 Njalo lona liyajikajika liphenduka ngokuqondisa kwakhe, ukuze enze konke awalaye khona, ebusweni bomhlaba emhlabathini.
And it is turned about by his gouernment, that they may doe whatsoeuer he commandeth them vpon the whole worlde:
13 Loba ngoswazi, loba ngomhlaba wakhe, loba ngomusa, uyakufikisa.
Whether it be for punishment, or for his lande, or of mercie, he causeth it to come.
14 Beka indlebe kukho, Jobe; mana, unanzelele imisebenzi emangalisayo kaNkulunkulu.
Hearken vnto this, O Iob: stand and consider the wonderous workes of God.
15 Uyazi yini ukuthi uNkulunkulu uwalungisa nini, enze ukukhanya kwamayezi akhe kukhanye?
Diddest thou knowe when God disposed them? and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
16 Uyazi yini ukulengiswa kwamayezi, izimangaliso zopheleleyo elwazini?
Hast thou knowen the varietie of the cloude, and the wonderous workes of him, that is perfite in knowledge?
17 Ukuthi izigqoko zakho zikhudumala njani, ekuthuliseni umhlaba ngomoya weningizimu?
Or howe thy clothes are warme, when he maketh the earth quiet through the South winde?
18 Uwendlalile yini amayezi kanye laye, aqine njengesibuko esibunjiweyo ngokuncibilikisa?
Hast thou stretched out the heaues, which are strong, and as a molten glasse?
19 Sifundise ukuthi sizakuthini kuye; singeke silungise lutho ngenxa yomnyama.
Tell vs what we shall say vnto him: for we can not dispose our matter because of darknes.
20 Kungalandiswa kuye yini ukuthi ngiyakhuluma? Uba umuntu engakhuluma, isibili uzaginywa.
Shall it be told him when I speake? or shall man speake when he shalbe destroyed?
21 Khathesi-ke kabakuboni ukukhanya okubenyezelayo okusemayezini, lapho umoya udlula uwahlambulula.
And nowe men see not the light, which shineth in the cloudes, but the winde passeth and clenseth them.
22 Igolide livela enyakatho. KuNkulunkulu kulobukhosi obesabekayo.
The brightnesse commeth out of the North: the praise thereof is to God, which is terrible.
23 USomandla singemfumane; uphakeme ngamandla, langokwahlulela, njalo mkhulu ngokulunga; kacindezeli.
It is the Almightie: we can not finde him out: he is excellent in power and iudgement, and aboundant in iustice: he afflicteth not.
24 Ngakho abantu bayamesaba; kanaki wonke owabahlakaniphileyo ngenhliziyo.
Let men therefore feare him: for he will not regarde any that are wise in their owne conceit.
