Iyyoob 37
1 “Kana irratti onneen koo ni dhikkifata; iddoo isaatiis ni uʼutaala.
Yea, at this my heart trembleth, And is moved out of its place.
2 Dhaggeeffadhaa! Iyya sagalee isaa, guungummii afaan isaatii baʼu illee dhagaʼaa.
Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, And the sound that goeth out of his mouth.
3 Inni bakakkaa isaa samii hunda jalatti gad dhiisa; gara handaara lafaattis ni erga.
He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, And his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
4 Ergasii sagaleen guungummii isaa ni dhufa; inni sagalee isaa ulfina qabeessa sanaan ni qaqawweessaʼa. Yommuu sagaleen isaa dhagaʼamutti, inni waan tokko illee hin qusatu.
After it a voice roareth; He thundereth with the voice of his majesty; And he restraineth not [the lightnings] when his voice is heard.
5 Sagaleen Waaqaa haala dinqisiisaadhaan ni qaqawweessaʼa; inni waan guddaa hubannaa keenyaa ol taʼe godha.
God thundereth marvellously with his voice; Great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
6 Inni cabbiidhaan, ‘Lafa irra buʼi;’ tiifuudhaanis, ‘Bokkaa jabaa taʼi’ jedha.
For he saith to the snow, Fall thou on the earth; Likewise to the shower of rain, And to the showers of his mighty rain.
7 Akka namni inni uume hundi hojii isaa beekuuf, inni harka tokkoo tokkoo namaa chaappessa.
He sealeth up the hand of every man, That all men whom he hath made may know [it].
8 Bineensonni holqa isaaniitti galu; daʼannoo isaanii keessas ni turu.
Then the beasts go into coverts, And remain in their dens.
9 Bubbeen hamaan iddoo isaatii ni baʼa; dhaamochis bubbee bittinneessu keessaa ni baʼa.
Out of the chamber [of the south] cometh the storm, And cold out of the north.
10 Hafuurri Waaqni baafatu cabbii uuma; bishaanonni babalʼaanis ni ititu.
By the breath of God ice is given; And the breadth of the waters is straitened.
11 Inni duumessoota bishaan baachisa; bakakkaa isaas isaan keessa facaasa.
Yea, he ladeth the thick cloud with moisture; He spreadeth abroad the cloud of his lightning:
12 Isaan waan inni ajaju hunda hojjechuuf, qajeelfama inni kennuun addunyaa hunda irra naannaʼu.
And it is turned round about by his guidance, That they may do whatsoever he commandeth them Upon the face of the habitable world,
13 Inni namoota adabuuf, yookaan lafa isaa obaasee jaalala isaa argisiisuuf jedhee duumessa fida.
Whether it be for correction, or for his land, Or for lovingkindness, that he cause it to come.
14 “Yaa Iyyoob waan kana dhaggeeffadhu; mee of qabiitii hojii Waaqaa isa dinqisiisaa sana hubadhu.
Hearken unto this, O Job: Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Waaqni akkamitti duumessoota akka ajajuu fi akkamitti akka balaqqeessisu ati ni beektaa?
Dost thou know how God layeth [his charge] upon them, And causeth the lightning of his cloud to shine?
16 Akka itti duumessoonni wal qixxaatanii rarraʼan, hojii dinqisiisaa Waaqaa isa beekumsaan mudaa hin qabne sanaa beektaa?
Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, The wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
17 Ati kan yeroo lafti bubbee kibbaatiin calʼistutti hoʼa wayyaa keetiitiin waxalamtu,
How thy garments are warm, When the earth is still by reason of the south [wind]?
18 samii akkuma of-ilaalee naasii baqfamee jabaatu sana diriirsuu keessatti isa gargaaruu ni dandeessaa?
Canst thou with him spread out the sky, Which is strong as a molten mirror?
19 “Waan nu isaan jennu nutti himi; nu sababii dukkana keenyaatiifuu dubbii keenya qajeelfachuu hin dandeenyu.
Teach us what we shall say unto him; [For] we cannot set [our speech] in order by reason of darkness.
20 Akka ani dubbachuu fedhu isatti himamuu qabaa? Namni kam iyyuu liqimfamuuf ni gaafataa?
Shall it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
21 Erga qilleensi samiiwwan qulqulleessee booddee, namni aduu humna guutuun iftu ilaaluu dandaʼu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies; But the wind passeth, and cleareth them.
22 Waaqni bareedina warqeetiin kaabaa ni dhufa; inni ulfina isaa isa sodaachisaa sanaan ni dhufa.
Out of the north cometh golden splendor: God hath upon him terrible majesty.
23 Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu hubannaa keenyaa oli; inni humnaa fi murtii qajeelaadhaan guddaa dha; qajeelummaan isaa baayʼee dha; inni nama hin cunqursu.
[Touching] the Almighty, we cannot find him out: He is excellent in power; And in justice and plenteous righteousness he will not afflict.
24 Kanaafuu, namoonni isa sodaatu; inni warra ogeeyyii of seʼan hunda waʼittuu hin hedu.”
Men do therefore fear him: He regardeth not any that are wise of heart.
