Job 37
1 “Àyà sì fò mi sí èyí pẹ̀lú, ó sì kúrò ní ipò rẹ̀.
At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.
2 Fetísílẹ̀! Fetísílẹ̀, kí ẹ sì gbọ́ ìró ohùn rẹ̀, àti èyí tí ó ti ẹnu rẹ̀ jáde wá.
Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.
3 Ó ṣe ìlànà rẹ̀ ní ìsàlẹ̀ ọ̀run gbogbo, mọ̀nàmọ́ná rẹ̀ ni ó sì jọ̀wọ́ rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ dé òpin ilẹ̀ ayé.
He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto 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 it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
5 Ọlọ́run fi ohùn rẹ̀ sán àrá ní ọ̀nà ìyanu; ohùn ńlá ńlá ni í ṣe tí àwa kò le mọ̀.
God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
6 Nítorí tí ó wí fún yìnyín pé, ‘Ìwọ rọ̀ sílẹ̀ ayé,’ àti pẹ̀lú fún ọwọ́ òjò, ‘Fún òjò ńlá agbára rẹ̀.’
For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain 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 sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
8 Nígbà náà ní àwọn ẹranko wọ inú ihò lọ, wọn a sì wà ni ipò wọn.
Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
9 Láti ìhà gúúsù ni ìjì àjàyíká tí jáde wá, àti òtútù láti inú afẹ́fẹ́ ti tú àwọsánmọ̀ ká.
Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.
10 Nípa ẹ̀mí Ọlọ́run a fi ìdí omi fún ni, ibú omi á sì súnkì.
By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
11 Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú ó fi omi púpọ̀ mú àwọsánmọ̀ wúwo, a sì tú àwọsánmọ̀ ìmọ́lẹ̀ rẹ̀ ká ara wọn.
Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:
12 Àwọn wọ̀nyí yí káàkiri nípa ìlànà rẹ̀, kí wọn kí ó lè ṣe ohunkóhun tí ó pàṣẹ fún wọn lórí ilẹ̀ ayé.
And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.
13 Ó mú àwọsánmọ̀ wá, ìbá ṣe fún ìkìlọ̀, tàbí omi wá sí ayé láti fi ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ hàn.
He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
14 “Jobu, dẹtí sílẹ̀ sí èyí; dúró jẹ́ẹ́ kí o sì ro iṣẹ́ ìyanu Ọlọ́run.
Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Ṣe ìwọ mọ àkókò ìgbà tí Ọlọ́run ṣe wọ́n lọ́jọ̀, tí ó sì mú ìmọ́lẹ̀ àwọsánmọ̀ rẹ̀ dán?
Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
16 Ṣé ìwọ mọ ìgbà tí àwọsánmọ̀ í fò lọ, iṣẹ́ ìyanu ẹni tí ó pé ní ìmọ̀?
Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
17 Ìwọ ẹni ti aṣọ rẹ̀ ti máa n gbóná, nígbà tí ó fi atẹ́gùn ìhà gúúsù mú ayé dákẹ́.
How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?
18 Ìwọ ha ba tẹ́ pẹpẹ ojú ọ̀run, tí ó dúró ṣinṣin, tí ó sì dàbí dígí tí ó yọ̀ dà?
Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?
19 “Kọ́ wa ní èyí tí a lè wí fún un; nítorí pé àwa kò le wádìí ọ̀rọ̀ náà nítorí òkùnkùn wa.
Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of 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?
Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.
21 Síbẹ̀ nísinsin yìí ènìyàn kò rí oòrùn tí ń dán nínú àwọsánmọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n afẹ́fẹ́ ń kọjá, a sì gbá wọn mọ́.
And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
22 Wúrà dídán ti inú ìhà àríwá jáde wá; lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run ni ọláńlá ẹ̀rù ńlá wa.
Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.
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.
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 Nítorí náà ènìyàn ha máa bẹ̀rù rẹ̀, òun kì í ṣe ojú sájú ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó gbọ́n ní ayé?”
Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
