ndipo ukuchoka mʼmalo mwake.
2 Tamverani! Tamverani kubangula kwa liwu lake,

3 Iye amaponya chingʼaningʼani chake pansi pa thambo lonse

4 Pambuyo pake kubangula kwake kumamveka.
Iye amabangula ndi liwu lake laulemerero.
Pamene wabangula,
palibe chimene amalephera kuchita.
5 Liwu la Mulungu limabangula mʼnjira zambiri zodabwitsa
Iye amachita zinthu zazikulu zimene sitingathe kuzimvetsa.
6 Amalamula chisanu chowundana kuti, ‘Igwa pa dziko lapansi,’
ndipo amalamulanso mvula yamawawa kuti, ‘Khala mvula yamphamvu.’
7 Kuti anthu onse amene anawalenga athe kuzindikira ntchito yake.
Iye amalepheretsa anthu kugwira ntchito zawo.
8 Zirombo zimakabisala
ndipo zimakhala mʼmaenje mwawo.
9 Mphepo yamkuntho imatuluka ku malo ake,
kuzizira kumatuluka mʼmphepo yamkunthoyo.
10 Mpweya wa Mulungu umawunditsa madzi
ndipo madzi a mʼnyanja amawuma kuti gwaa.
11 Iye amadzaza mitambo ndi madzi a mvula,
amabalalitsa zingʼaningʼani zake kuchokera mʼmitambomo.
12 Mulungu amayendetsa mitamboyo
mozungulirazungulira dziko lonse lapansi
kuti ichite zonse zimene Iye akufuna pa dziko lapansi.
13 Iye amagwetsa mvula kuti alange anthu,
kapena kubweretsa chinyontho pa dziko lapansi kuti aonetse chikondi chake.
14 “Abambo Yobu, tamvani izi;
imani ndipo muganizire ntchito zodabwitsa za Mulungu.
15 Kodi mukudziwa momwe Mulungu amayendetsera mitambo
ndi kuchititsa kuti kukhale zingʼaningʼani?
16 Kodi mukudziwa momwe Mulungu amayalira mitambo,
ntchito zodabwitsa za Iye amene ndi wanzeru zangwiro?
17 Inu amene mʼzovala zanu mumatuluka thukuta
pamene kunja kwatentha chifukwa cha mphepo yakummwera,
18 kodi mungathe kuthandizana naye kutambasula thambo
limene ndi lolimba ngati chitsulo?
19 “Tiwuzeni ife zoti tikanene kwa Iye;
sitingathe kufotokoza mlandu wathu chifukwa cha mdima umene uli mwa ife.
20 Kodi nʼkofunika kumudziwitsa Mulungu kuti ndili naye mawu?
Kodi kutero sikuchita ngati kupempha kuti ndiwonongeke?
21 Tsopano munthu sangathe kuyangʼana dzuwa,
ndi kunyezimira mlengalenga,
kuwomba kwa mphepo kutachotsa mitambo yonse.
22 Kuwala kwake kumaonekera cha kumpoto;
Mulungu amabwera ndi ulemerero woopsa.
23 Wamphamvuzonse sitingathe kumufikira pafupi ndi wa mphamvu zoposa;
pa chiweruzo chake cholungama ndi mʼchilungamo chake chachikulu Iye sapondereza anthu ozunzika.
24 Nʼchifukwa chake anthu amamuopa kwambiri,
kodi saganizira za onse amene amaganiza kuti ndi anzeru?”
Job 37
New International Version
37 “At this my heart pounds(A)
and leaps from its place.
2 Listen!(B) Listen to the roar of his voice,(C)
to the rumbling that comes from his mouth.(D)
3 He unleashes his lightning(E) beneath the whole heaven
and sends it to the ends of the earth.(F)
4 After that comes the sound of his roar;
he thunders(G) with his majestic voice.(H)
When his voice resounds,
he holds nothing back.
5 God’s voice thunders(I) in marvelous ways;(J)
he does great things beyond our understanding.(K)
6 He says to the snow,(L) ‘Fall on the earth,’
and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’(M)
7 So that everyone he has made may know his work,(N)
he stops all people from their labor.[a](O)
8 The animals take cover;(P)
they remain in their dens.(Q)
9 The tempest comes out from its chamber,(R)
the cold from the driving winds.(S)
10 The breath of God produces ice,
and the broad waters become frozen.(T)
11 He loads the clouds with moisture;(U)
he scatters his lightning(V) through them.(W)
12 At his direction they swirl around
over the face of the whole earth
to do whatever he commands them.(X)
13 He brings the clouds to punish people,(Y)
or to water his earth and show his love.(Z)
14 “Listen(AA) to this, Job;
stop and consider God’s wonders.(AB)
15 Do you know how God controls the clouds
and makes his lightning(AC) flash?(AD)
16 Do you know how the clouds hang poised,(AE)
those wonders of him who has perfect knowledge?(AF)
17 You who swelter in your clothes
when the land lies hushed under the south wind,(AG)
18 can you join him in spreading out the skies,(AH)
hard as a mirror of cast bronze?(AI)
19 “Tell us what we should say to him;(AJ)
we cannot draw up our case(AK) because of our darkness.(AL)
20 Should he be told that I want to speak?
Would anyone ask to be swallowed up?
21 Now no one can look at the sun,(AM)
bright as it is in the skies
after the wind has swept them clean.
22 Out of the north he comes in golden splendor;(AN)
God comes in awesome majesty.(AO)
23 The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power;(AP)
in his justice(AQ) and great righteousness, he does not oppress.(AR)
24 Therefore, people revere him,(AS)
for does he not have regard for all the wise(AT) in heart?[b]”
Job 37
King James Version
37 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.
2 Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.
3 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
4 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 God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
6 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 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
8 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
9 Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.
10 By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
11 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:
12 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 He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
14 Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
16 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
17 How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?
18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?
19 Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.
20 Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.
21 And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
22 Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.
23 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 Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
