< Job 37 >

1 “My heart pounds [DOU] when [I think about] that.
Pudno, agkibkibbayo ti pusok iti daytoy; ken aggargaraw iti ayanna.
2 Listen, all of you, to the thunder, which is like God’s voice [DOU].
O, denggem ti daranudor ti timekna, ti aweng a rumrumuar manipud iti ngiwatna.
3 He causes thunder to be heard all across the sky, and he causes lighting to flash to the most distant places on the earth.
Ibabaonna daytoy iti sirok ti entero a tangatang, ken ibabaonna dagiti kimatna kadagiti beddeng ti daga.
4 After [the lightning flashes], we hear the thunder which is like [MET] God’s majestic voice; he does not restrain the lightning when he speaks.
Adda timek nga agdaranudor kalpasan daytoy; paggurruodenna babaen iti timek ti kinatan-okna; saanna a laplappedan dagiti kimat no mangngeg ti timekna.
5 When God speaks, it is awesome, like thunder; he does amazing things which we cannot [fully] understand.
Paggurruoden ti Dios iti nakakaskasdaaw a wagas babaen iti timekna; agar-aramid isuna kadagiti naindaklan a banbanag a saantayo a maawatan.
6 He commands the snow to fall on the ground, and [sometimes] he causes it to rain very hard.
Ta ibagbagana kadagiti niebe, 'Agtinnagka iti rabaw ti daga'; kasta met kadagiti arbis, 'Agbalinka a napigsa a tudo.'
7 And [when God does that, ] it prevents people [SYN] from working, in order that all people may know that he is the one who has done that (OR, what he can do).
Pagsarsardengenna ti ima ti tunggal tao manipud iti panagtrabaho, tapno makita dagiti amin a tattao nga inaramidna dagiti aramidna.
8 [When it rains, ] animals go into their hiding places, and they remain there [until the rain stops].
Ket aglemmeng dagiti narungsot nga ayup ken agtalinaedda kadagiti rukibda.
9 The storms/hurricanes come from the place [in the south where they start], and the cold wind comes from the north.
Aggapgapu ti bagyo iti siledna iti abagatan ken aggapgapu ti lamiis manipud iti agwarwaras nga angin iti amianan.
10 [In the (winter/cold season), the cold north wind is like] God’s breath [that] causes [MET] water to freeze; he causes the lakes/streams to become ice.
Babaen iti anges ti Dios, tumaud ti yelo; ken tumanken a kasla landok ti nalawa a danum.
11 God fills the clouds with moisture/hail, and lightning flashes from the clouds.
Pudno, padagsenenna ti napuskol nga ulep babaen iti linnaaw; iwar-warasna ti kimatna kadagiti ulep.
12 He guides the clouds and causes them to move back and forth in order that they may accomplish all that he commands them to do, all over the world.
Pagrikus-rikusenna dagiti ulep babaen iti panangiturongna, tapno maaramidda ti aniaman nga ibilbilinna kadakuada iti ngatoen ti entero a lubong.
13 Sometimes God sends rain to punish us, and sometimes he sends rain to show us that he acts kindly toward us.
Ar-aramidenna amin dagitoy; no dadduma mapaspasamak daytoy para iti pannakailinteg, no dadduma para kadagiti dagana, ken no dadduma ket kas panangtungpal iti napudno a tulagna.
14 “Job, listen to this; stop and think about the wonderful things that God does.
Denggem daytoy, Job; agsardengka ken panunotem dagiti nakakaskasdaaw nga aramid ti Dios.
15 (Do you know how God commands the lightning to flash down from the clouds?/We do not know how God commands the lightning to flash down from the clouds.) [RHQ]
Ammom kadi no kasano ti panangbilin ti Dios kadagiti ulep ken panagpakimatna kadagitoy?
16 Only God knows everything perfectly; so (do you know how he causes the clouds to (move/float) (amazingly/wonderfully) across the sky?/you certainly do not know how he causes the clouds to (move/float) (amazingly/wonderfully) across the sky!) [RHQ]
Maawatam kadi ti panagtapaw dagiti ulep, dagiti nakakaskasdaaw nga aramid ti Dios, nga addaan iti naan-anay a pannakaammo?
17 No, you just sweat there in your clothes; [it is very oppressive] when the [hot] wind stops blowing from the south and [all the leaves on the trees] (become still/do not move).
Maawatam kadi no kasano a bumara dagiti kawesmo no agtalna ti daga gapu iti angin manipud iti abagatan?
18 (Can you stretch out the skies like God does and make them as hard as [SIM] a sheet of polished brass?/You certainly cannot stretch out the skies like God does and make them as hard as [SIM] a sheet of polished brass!) [RHQ]
Maiwarasmo kadi ti tangatang a kas iti kabaelanna—ti tangatang, a kas kabileg ti sarming a landok?
19 “Job, tell us(exc) what we should say to God; we do not know anything [IDM]. As a result, we do not know what to say to him to defend ourselves.
Isuronakami iti rumbeng nga ibagami kenkuana, ta saanmi a mapagsasaruno dagiti ibagami gapu iti kinasipnget dagiti panunotmi.
20 Should I tell God that I want to speak to him? No, because [if I did that, ] he might destroy me.
Rumbeng kadi a mabagaan isuna a kayatko ti makitungtung kenkuana? Tarigagayan kadi ti maysa a tao ti matilmon?
21 Now, people cannot look [directly] at the sun when it shines brightly in the sky after the wind has blown the clouds away; [so, we certainly cannot look at the brightness of God].
Ita, saan a maperreng dagiti tattao ti init no agranraniag daytoy iti tangatang kalpasan a makalabas ti angin ken winaknitan dagiti ulep.
22 God comes out of the north with a light [that shines like] gold; his glory causes us to be afraid.
Aggapu iti amianan ti nabalitukan a kinarangrang—iti Dios ti nakakaskasdaaw a dayag.
23 Almighty God is very powerful, and we cannot come near to him. He always acts righteously, and he will never oppress us.
Maipanggep iti Mannakabalin-amin, saantayo a mabirukan isuna; naindaklan ti pannakabalin ken ti kinalintegna. Saanna nga idaddadanes dagiti tattao.
24 That is the reason that we have an awesome respect for him; he does not pay attention to those who proudly, [but wrongly], think that they are wise.”
Ngarud, kabuteng dagiti tattao isuna. Saanna nga ipangpangag dagiti mangipagpagarup a nasiribda.”
