< Job 37 >
1 “Àyà sì fò mi sí èyí pẹ̀lú, ó sì kúrò ní ipò rẹ̀.
At this, my heart became frightened, and it has been moved from its place.
2 Fetísílẹ̀! Fetísílẹ̀, kí ẹ sì gbọ́ ìró ohùn rẹ̀, àti èyí tí ó ti ẹnu rẹ̀ jáde wá.
Pay close attention to the alarm of his voice and to the sound that proceeds from his mouth.
3 Ó ṣe ìlànà rẹ̀ ní ìsàlẹ̀ ọ̀run gbogbo, mọ̀nàmọ́ná rẹ̀ ni ó sì jọ̀wọ́ rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ dé òpin ilẹ̀ ayé.
He beholds everything under the heavens, and his light reaches beyond the ends of the earth.
4 Lẹ́yìn mọ̀nàmọ́ná ohùn kan fọ̀ ramúramù; ó sì fi ohùn ọláńlá rẹ̀ sán àrá. Òhun kì yóò sì dá àrá dúró, nígbà tí ó bá ń gbọ́ ohùn rẹ̀.
After this, a noise will sound; he will thunder with the voice of his greatness, and it will not be tracked down, yet his voice will be obeyed.
5 Ọlọ́run fi ohùn rẹ̀ sán àrá ní ọ̀nà ìyanu; ohùn ńlá ńlá ni í ṣe tí àwa kò le mọ̀.
God will thunder with his voice miraculously, for he performs great and unsearchable things.
6 Nítorí tí ó wí fún yìnyín pé, ‘Ìwọ rọ̀ sílẹ̀ ayé,’ àti pẹ̀lú fún ọwọ́ òjò, ‘Fún òjò ńlá agbára rẹ̀.’
He commands the snow to descend on earth, and the winter rains, and the shower of his strength.
7 Ó fi èdìdì di ọwọ́ gbogbo ènìyàn kí gbogbo wọn kí ó lè mọ iṣẹ́ rẹ̀, ó sì tún dá olúkúlùkù ènìyàn dúró lẹ́nu iṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
He signs the hand of all men, so that each one may know his works.
8 Nígbà náà ní àwọn ẹranko wọ inú ihò lọ, wọn a sì wà ni ipò wọn.
The beast will enter his hiding-place, and he will remain in his cave.
9 Láti ìhà gúúsù ni ìjì àjàyíká tí jáde wá, àti òtútù láti inú afẹ́fẹ́ ti tú àwọsánmọ̀ ká.
From the interior, a storm will come forth, and a cold winter from the north.
10 Nípa ẹ̀mí Ọlọ́run a fi ìdí omi fún ni, ibú omi á sì súnkì.
As God breathes out, frost forms, and the waters are poured forth very widely again.
11 Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú ó fi omi púpọ̀ mú àwọsánmọ̀ wúwo, a sì tú àwọsánmọ̀ ìmọ́lẹ̀ rẹ̀ ká ara wọn.
Crops desire clouds, and the clouds scatter their light.
12 Àwọn wọ̀nyí yí káàkiri nípa ìlànà rẹ̀, kí wọn kí ó lè ṣe ohunkóhun tí ó pàṣẹ fún wọn lórí ilẹ̀ ayé.
It shines all around, wherever the will of him that governs them will lead, to anywhere he will command, over the whole face of the earth,
13 Ó mú àwọsánmọ̀ wá, ìbá ṣe fún ìkìlọ̀, tàbí omi wá sí ayé láti fi ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ hàn.
whether in one tribe, or in his own region, or in whatever place of his mercy that he will order them to be found.
14 “Jobu, dẹtí sílẹ̀ sí èyí; dúró jẹ́ẹ́ kí o sì ro iṣẹ́ ìyanu Ọlọ́run.
Listen to these things, Job. Stand up and consider the wonders of God.
15 Ṣe ìwọ mọ àkókò ìgbà tí Ọlọ́run ṣe wọ́n lọ́jọ̀, tí ó sì mú ìmọ́lẹ̀ àwọsánmọ̀ rẹ̀ dán?
Do you know when God ordered the rains, so as to show the light of his clouds?
16 Ṣé ìwọ mọ ìgbà tí àwọsánmọ̀ í fò lọ, iṣẹ́ ìyanu ẹni tí ó pé ní ìmọ̀?
Do you know the great paths of the clouds, and the perfect sciences?
17 Ìwọ ẹni ti aṣọ rẹ̀ ti máa n gbóná, nígbà tí ó fi atẹ́gùn ìhà gúúsù mú ayé dákẹ́.
Are not your garments hot, when the south wind blows across the land?
18 Ìwọ ha ba tẹ́ pẹpẹ ojú ọ̀run, tí ó dúró ṣinṣin, tí ó sì dàbí dígí tí ó yọ̀ dà?
Perhaps you have made the heavens with him, which are very solid, as if they had been cast from brass.
19 “Kọ́ wa ní èyí tí a lè wí fún un; nítorí pé àwa kò le wádìí ọ̀rọ̀ náà nítorí òkùnkùn wa.
Reveal to us what we should say to him, for, of course, we are wrapped in darkness.
20 A ó ha wí fún un pé, èmi fẹ́ sọ̀rọ̀? Tàbí ẹnìkan lè wí pé, ìfẹ́ mi ni pé kí a gbé mi mì?
Who will explain to him the things that I am saying? Even while a man is still speaking, he will be devoured.
21 Síbẹ̀ nísinsin yìí ènìyàn kò rí oòrùn tí ń dán nínú àwọsánmọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n afẹ́fẹ́ ń kọjá, a sì gbá wọn mọ́.
Although they do not see the light, the air will be thickened suddenly into clouds, and the wind, passing by, will drive them away.
22 Wúrà dídán ti inú ìhà àríwá jáde wá; lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run ni ọláńlá ẹ̀rù ńlá wa.
Riches arrive from the north, and fearful praise reaches out to God.
23 Nípa ti Olódùmarè àwa kò le wádìí rẹ̀, ó rékọjá ní ipá; nínú ìdájọ́ àti títí bi òun kì í ba ẹ̀tọ́ àti ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ òtítọ́ jẹ́.
We are not worthy to be able to find him. Great in strength, great in judgment, great in justice: he is indescribable.
24 Nítorí náà ènìyàn ha máa bẹ̀rù rẹ̀, òun kì í ṣe ojú sájú ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó gbọ́n ní ayé?”
Therefore, men will fear him, and all those who seem to themselves to be wise, will not dare to contemplate him.
