Iyyoob 37
1 “Kana irratti onneen koo ni dhikkifata; iddoo isaatiis ni uʼutaala.
Also, at this my heart trembleth, And it moveth from its place.
2 Dhaggeeffadhaa! Iyya sagalee isaa, guungummii afaan isaatii baʼu illee dhagaʼaa.
Hearken diligently to the trembling of His voice, Yea, the sound from His mouth goeth forth.
3 Inni bakakkaa isaa samii hunda jalatti gad dhiisa; gara handaara lafaattis ni erga.
Under the whole heavens He directeth it, And its light [is] over the skirts 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 roar doth a voice — He thundereth with the voice of His excellency, And He doth not hold them back, When His voice is heard.
5 Sagaleen Waaqaa haala dinqisiisaadhaan ni qaqawweessaʼa; inni waan guddaa hubannaa keenyaa ol taʼe godha.
God thundereth with His voice wonderfully, Doing great things and we know not.
6 Inni cabbiidhaan, ‘Lafa irra buʼi;’ tiifuudhaanis, ‘Bokkaa jabaa taʼi’ jedha.
For to snow He saith, 'Be [on] the earth.' And the small rain and great rain of His power.
7 Akka namni inni uume hundi hojii isaa beekuuf, inni harka tokkoo tokkoo namaa chaappessa.
Into the hand of every man he sealeth, For the knowledge by all men of His work.
8 Bineensonni holqa isaaniitti galu; daʼannoo isaanii keessas ni turu.
And enter doth the beast into covert, And in its habitations it doth continue.
9 Bubbeen hamaan iddoo isaatii ni baʼa; dhaamochis bubbee bittinneessu keessaa ni baʼa.
From the inner chamber cometh a hurricane, And from scatterings winds — cold,
10 Hafuurri Waaqni baafatu cabbii uuma; bishaanonni babalʼaanis ni ititu.
From the breath of God is frost given, And the breadth of waters is straitened,
11 Inni duumessoota bishaan baachisa; bakakkaa isaas isaan keessa facaasa.
Yea, by filling He doth press out a cloud, Scatter a cloud doth His light.
12 Isaan waan inni ajaju hunda hojjechuuf, qajeelfama inni kennuun addunyaa hunda irra naannaʼu.
And it is turning itself round by His counsels, For their doing all He commandeth them, On the face of the habitable earth.
13 Inni namoota adabuuf, yookaan lafa isaa obaasee jaalala isaa argisiisuuf jedhee duumessa fida.
Whether for a rod, or for His land, Or for kindness — He doth cause it to come.
14 “Yaa Iyyoob waan kana dhaggeeffadhu; mee of qabiitii hojii Waaqaa isa dinqisiisaa sana hubadhu.
Hear this, O Job, Stand and consider the wonders of God.
15 Waaqni akkamitti duumessoota akka ajajuu fi akkamitti akka balaqqeessisu ati ni beektaa?
Dost thou know when God doth place them, And caused to shine the light of His cloud?
16 Akka itti duumessoonni wal qixxaatanii rarraʼan, hojii dinqisiisaa Waaqaa isa beekumsaan mudaa hin qabne sanaa beektaa?
Dost thou know the balancings of a cloud? The wonders of the Perfect in knowledge?
17 Ati kan yeroo lafti bubbee kibbaatiin calʼistutti hoʼa wayyaa keetiitiin waxalamtu,
How thy garments [are] warm, In the quieting of the earth from the south?
18 samii akkuma of-ilaalee naasii baqfamee jabaatu sana diriirsuu keessatti isa gargaaruu ni dandeessaa?
Thou hast made an expanse with Him For the clouds — strong as a hard mirror!
19 “Waan nu isaan jennu nutti himi; nu sababii dukkana keenyaatiifuu dubbii keenya qajeelfachuu hin dandeenyu.
Let us know what we say to Him, We set not in array because of darkness.
20 Akka ani dubbachuu fedhu isatti himamuu qabaa? Namni kam iyyuu liqimfamuuf ni gaafataa?
Is it declared to Him that I speak? If a man hath spoken, surely he is swallowed up.
21 Erga qilleensi samiiwwan qulqulleessee booddee, namni aduu humna guutuun iftu ilaaluu dandaʼu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
And now, they have not seen the light, Bright it [is] in the clouds, And the wind hath passed by and cleanseth them.
22 Waaqni bareedina warqeetiin kaabaa ni dhufa; inni ulfina isaa isa sodaachisaa sanaan ni dhufa.
From the golden north it cometh, Beside God [is] fearful honour.
23 Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu hubannaa keenyaa oli; inni humnaa fi murtii qajeelaadhaan guddaa dha; qajeelummaan isaa baayʼee dha; inni nama hin cunqursu.
The Mighty! we have not found Him out, High in power and judgment, He doth not answer! And abundant in righteousness,
24 Kanaafuu, namoonni isa sodaatu; inni warra ogeeyyii of seʼan hunda waʼittuu hin hedu.”
Therefore do men fear Him, He seeth not any of the wise of heart.
