Iyyoob 37
1 “Kana irratti onneen koo ni dhikkifata; iddoo isaatiis ni uʼutaala.
At this also my heart trembles, and is moved out of his place.
2 Dhaggeeffadhaa! Iyya sagalee isaa, guungummii afaan isaatii baʼu illee dhagaʼaa.
Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goes out of his mouth.
3 Inni bakakkaa isaa samii hunda jalatti gad dhiisa; gara handaara lafaattis ni erga.
He directs it under the whole heaven, and his lightning to 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 roars: he thunders with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
5 Sagaleen Waaqaa haala dinqisiisaadhaan ni qaqawweessaʼa; inni waan guddaa hubannaa keenyaa ol taʼe godha.
God thunders marvelously with his voice; great things does he, which we cannot comprehend.
6 Inni cabbiidhaan, ‘Lafa irra buʼi;’ tiifuudhaanis, ‘Bokkaa jabaa taʼi’ jedha.
For he says to the snow, Be you on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
7 Akka namni inni uume hundi hojii isaa beekuuf, inni harka tokkoo tokkoo namaa chaappessa.
He seals up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
8 Bineensonni holqa isaaniitti galu; daʼannoo isaanii keessas ni turu.
Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
9 Bubbeen hamaan iddoo isaatii ni baʼa; dhaamochis bubbee bittinneessu keessaa ni baʼa.
Out of the south comes the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.
10 Hafuurri Waaqni baafatu cabbii uuma; bishaanonni babalʼaanis ni ititu.
By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
11 Inni duumessoota bishaan baachisa; bakakkaa isaas isaan keessa facaasa.
Also by watering he wearies the thick cloud: he scatters his bright cloud:
12 Isaan waan inni ajaju hunda hojjechuuf, qajeelfama inni kennuun addunyaa hunda irra naannaʼu.
And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatever he commands them on the face of the world in the earth.
13 Inni namoota adabuuf, yookaan lafa isaa obaasee jaalala isaa argisiisuuf jedhee duumessa fida.
He causes it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
14 “Yaa Iyyoob waan kana dhaggeeffadhu; mee of qabiitii hojii Waaqaa isa dinqisiisaa sana hubadhu.
Listen to 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?
Do you know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
16 Akka itti duumessoonni wal qixxaatanii rarraʼan, hojii dinqisiisaa Waaqaa isa beekumsaan mudaa hin qabne sanaa beektaa?
Do you know the balancing of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
17 Ati kan yeroo lafti bubbee kibbaatiin calʼistutti hoʼa wayyaa keetiitiin waxalamtu,
How your garments are warm, when he quiets the earth by the south wind?
18 samii akkuma of-ilaalee naasii baqfamee jabaatu sana diriirsuu keessatti isa gargaaruu ni dandeessaa?
Have you with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?
19 “Waan nu isaan jennu nutti himi; nu sababii dukkana keenyaatiifuu dubbii keenya qajeelfachuu hin dandeenyu.
Teach us what we shall say to him; for we cannot order our speech 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 speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be 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 bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passes, and cleans them.
22 Waaqni bareedina warqeetiin kaabaa ni dhufa; inni ulfina isaa isa sodaachisaa sanaan ni dhufa.
Fair weather comes out of the north: with God is 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 judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.
24 Kanaafuu, namoonni isa sodaatu; inni warra ogeeyyii of seʼan hunda waʼittuu hin hedu.”
Men do therefore fear him: he respects not any that are wise of heart.
