< Job 37 >

1 “Yes, at this my heart trembles, and is moved out of its place.
Hae hmuen pongah ka palungthin tasoeh moe, a ohhaih ahmuen hoiah angthuih ving.
2 Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, the sound that goes out of his mouth.
A thuih ih lok, anih ih pakha thung hoiah tacawt lok to kahoih ah tahngai ah.
3 He sends it out under the whole sky, and his lightning to the ends of the earth.
A thuih ih lok loe van tlim ah kaom ahmuen boih ah phak moe, tangphrapuekhaih doeh long boenghaih ahmuen khoek to phak.
4 After it a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty. He does not hold back anything when his voice is heard.
Tangphrapuek pacoengah lok to angzoh; a lensawkhaih lok hoiah kho to pazisak; lok tacawt pacoengah loe, takhi sae songhaih diisak let mak ai boeh.
5 God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we cannot comprehend.
Dawnrai koi kaom ah Sithaw mah khopazih lok to tacawtsak; aicae mah panoek thai ai ih kalen parai hmuennawk to anih mah sak.
6 For he says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of his mighty rain.
Dantui khaeah, Long ah krah ah, tiah a naa. Khotui khaeah, Kalen parai kho angzoh hanah lok a paek.
7 He seals up the hand of every man, that all men whom he has made may know it.
Kami boih mah a sak ih hmuen panoek thai hanah, kami boih mah sak ih tok to anghaksak.
8 Then the animals take cover, and remain in their dens.
Taw ih moinawk loe akhaw thungah caeh o moe, athung ah abuep o.
9 Out of its room comes the storm, and cold out of the north.
Aloih bang hoiah takhi kamhae to angzoh moe, aluek bang hoiah kangqai to angzoh.
10 By the breath of God, ice is given, and the width of the waters is frozen.
Sithaw ih takhi mah hmuh pongah, tui to amkhawk, kawk parai tuinawk loe amkhawk o.
11 Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.
Tamai to tui hoiah koisak moe, ni aengh mah tamai to angkhoengsak phaeng.
12 It is turned around by his guidance, that they may do whatever he commands them on the surface of the habitable world,
Long ah kaom hmuennawk boih loe, a thuih ih lok baktih toengah, sak o hanah a thuih ih lok hoiah ni amhae o.
13 whether it is for correction, or for his land, or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come.
Kaminawk thuitaek han ih, to tih ai boeh loe angmah ih long to khetzawn han ih, to tih ai boeh loe palungnathaih amtuengsak han ih, to tiah ohsak.
14 “Listen to this, Job. Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
Aw Job hae lok hae tahngai ah; dawnrai koi kaom Sithaw ih hmuennawk hae, anghngaih duem ah loe, poek ah.
15 Do you know how God controls them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
Sithaw mah kawbangmaw tamainawk to amzamsak moe, aanghaih to ohsak, tiah na panoek maw?
16 Do you know the workings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
Palunghahaih hoi kakoep, dawnrai koi kaom, Sithaw mah sak ih hmuen ah kaom, tamainawk to kawbangmaw amzamsak, tito na panoek vai maw?
17 You whose clothing is warm when the earth is still by reason of the south wind?
Aloih bang ih takhi mah long to betsak naah, na khukbuen to kawbangmaw bet, tiah na panoek vai maw?
18 Can you, with him, spread out the sky, which is strong as a cast metal mirror?
Sithaw mah kabae amdingsak hanah tamai to taboksak, nang loe to tiah na sak thai maw?
19 Teach us what we will tell him, for we cannot make our case by reason of darkness.
Anih khaeah timaw ka thuih o han, tito na patuk ah; khoving pongah tidoeh ka sah o thai ai boeh.
20 Will it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
Lokthuih ka koeh, tiah Anih khaeah ka thuih han maw? Kami mah to tiah thui nahaeloe, to kami to anih mah amrosak tangtang tih.
21 Now men do not see the light which is bright in the skies, but the wind passes, and clears them.
Takhi song moe, tamai to hmuh phaeng naah, mi mah doeh ni aengh to khen thai ai.
22 Out of the north comes golden splendor. With God is awesome majesty.
Anih loe kampha sui baktiah aluek bang hoiah angzoh; Sithaw loe zitthok Lensawkhaih hoiah akoep.
23 We cannot reach the Almighty. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.
Thacak Sithaw loe aicae mah hnu thai ai; anih loe thacakhaih, lokcaekhaih hoi toenghaih hoiah akoep; anih loe mi kawbaktih doeh pacaekthlaek ai.
24 Therefore men revere him. He does not regard any who are wise of heart.”
To pongah kaminawk mah anih to zit o; anih loe palungha kami ni, tiah poek ih kaminawk khingyahaih to tawn ai, tiah a naa.
