Jobho 37
1 “Hana yangu inorova nokuda kwezvizvi, uye mwoyo wangu unotomuka uchibva panzvimbo yawo.
At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place.
2 Teererai! Teererai kutinhira kwenzwi rake, nokuunga kunobva pamuromo wake.
Hear attentively the noise of His voice, and the sound that goeth out of His mouth.
3 Anoregedzera mheni yake pasi pedenga rose, agoituma kumigumo yenyika.
He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, and His lightning unto the ends of the earth.
4 Shure kwaizvozvo inzwi rokutinhira kwake rinosvika; anotinhira nenzwi roumambo hwake.
After it a voice roareth; He thundereth with the voice of His majesty; and He stayeth them not when His voice is heard.
5 Inzwi raMwari rinotinhira nenzira dzinoshamisa; iye anoita zvinhu zvikuru zvinopfuura kunzwisisa kwedu.
God thundereth marvellously with His voice; great things doeth He, which we cannot comprehend.
6 Anoti kuchando, ‘Donhera panyika,’ nokumvura inonaya, ‘Naya nesimba.’
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 Kuitira kuti vanhu vose vaakasika vazive basa rake, anoita kuti munhu mumwe nomumwe ambomira kushanda.
He sealeth up the hand of every man, that all men whom He hath made may know it.
8 Mhuka dzinovanda; dzinoramba dziri mumapako adzo.
Then the beasts go into coverts, and remain in their dens.
9 Dutu rinobuda pakamuri yaro, chando chinobva pakuvhuvhuta kwemhepo.
Out of the Chamber cometh the storm; and cold out of the north.
10 Kufema kwaMwari kunobudisa mazaya echando, uye mvura zhinji inooma kuita chando.
By the breath of God ice is given, and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
11 Anozadza makore nounyoro; anoparadzira mheni yake nomumakore.
Yea, He ladeth the thick cloud with moister, He spreadeth abroad the cloud of His lightning;
12 Anoafambisa sezvaanoda pamusoro penyika yose, kuti aite zvose zvaanoarayira.
And they are turned round about by His guidance, that they may do whatsoever He commandeth them upon the face of the habitable world:
13 Anouyisa makore kuzoranga vanhu, kana kuzodiridza nyika yake kuti aratidze rudo rwake.
Whether it be for correction, or for His earth, or for mercy, that He cause it to come.
14 “Teerera izvi, Jobho; imbomira ugorangarira zvishamiso zvaMwari.
Hearken unto this, O Job; stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Unoziva here kudzorwa kwamakore naMwari nokupenyesa kwaanoita mheni yake?
Dost thou know how God enjoineth them, and causeth the lightning of His cloud to shine?
16 Unoziva maturikirwo akaitwa makore here, izvo zvishamiso zvaiye akakwana muruzivo?
Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of Him who is perfect in knowledge?
17 Iyewe unopiswa nenguo dzako nyika painonyaradzwa nemhepo yezasi,
Thou whose garments are warm, when the earth is still by reason of the south wind;
18 ko, ungagona kubatana naye pakutatamura matenga here, iwo akaoma kunge chionioni chendarira yakaumbwa.
Canst thou with Him spread out the sky, which is strong as a molten mirror?
19 “Tiudze zvatingareva kwaari; hatigoni kureva mhaka yedu nokuda kwerima redu.
Teach us what we shall say unto Him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.
20 Ko, anofanira kuudzwa kuti ndinoda kutaura here? Ko, pano munhu angakumbira kumedzwa here?
Shall it be told Him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
21 Zvino hakuna munhu angatarira kuzuva, nokuvhenekera kwaro riri mumatenga, mushure mokunge mhepo yaachenesa.
And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies; but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
22 Anouya nokubwinya kunoyevedza achibva nokumusoro; Mwari anouya nokubwinya kunotyisa.
Out of the north cometh golden splendour, about God is terrible majesty.
23 Wamasimba Ose haasvikiki kwaari uye anokudzwa nesimba; mukururamisira uye nokururama kwake kukuru haadzvinyiriri.
The Almighty, whom we cannot find out, is excellent in power, yet to judgment and plenteous justice He doeth no violence.
24 Naizvozvo, vanhu vanomutya, ko, haana hanya navose vakachenjera pamwoyo here?”
Men do therefore fear Him; He regardeth not any that are wise of heart.
