Job 37
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
37 “Kumakabog ang dibdib ko dahil sa bagyo. 2 Pakinggan ninyo ang dumadagundong na tinig ng Dios na parang kulog. 3 Pinakikidlat niya ang buong kalangitan at pinaaabot ito hanggang sa dulo ng mundo. 4 Pagkatapos ay maririnig ang dagundong ng kanyang tinig na parang isang kulog. Hindi niya ito pinipigilan. 5 Kagila-gilalas ang dumadagundong na tinig ng Dios. Gumagawa siya ng mga kahanga-hangang bagay, mga bagay na hindi natin kayang unawain. 6 Inuutusan niya ang yelo na pumatak sa lupa, ganoon din ang ulan na bumuhos nang malakas, 7 para ang taoʼy makapagpahinga sa kanilang mga ginagawa at makapagbulay-bulay sa mga ginawa ng Dios. 8 Nagtatago ang mga hayop sa kanilang mga taguan at nananatili roon kapag may bagyo. 9 Dumadating ang bagyo at ang hanging malamig mula sa kanilang taguan. 10 Sa pamamagitan ng hininga ng Dios nabubuo ang yelo, at nagiging yelo ang malalawak na bahagi ng tubig. 11 Pinupuno niya ng tubig ang mga ulap at pinakikidlat ito. 12 Sa kanyang utos, nagpapaikot-ikot sa buong mundo ang mga ulap. 13 Ginagamit niya ang mga ito upang ituwid ang tao, o ipadama ang kanyang pag-ibig.
14 “Job, pakinggan mo ito, at pagbulay-bulayan ang mga kahanga-hangang bagay na ginagawa ng Dios. 15 Alam mo ba kung paano inuutusan ng Dios ang ulap, at kung paano siya nagpapakidlat mula rito? 16 Alam mo ba kung paano lumulutang ang mga ulap? Ang lahat ng itoʼy kahanga-hangang gawa ng Dios na ang dunong ay walang hangganan. 17 Ikaʼy pagpapawisan dahil sa mainit na hangin mula sa timog, 18 matutulungan mo ba ang Dios na ilatag ang kalangitan at patigasin na parang tansong salamin?
19 “Kung matalino ka, sabihin mo sa amin kung ano ang dapat naming sabihin sa Dios. Hindi namin alam kung paano kami mangangatwiran dahil kulang ang aming kaalaman. 20 Hindi ko gugustuhing makipagtalo sa Dios, dahil baka akoʼy kanyang ipahamak. 21 Walang sinumang makakatitig sa araw na nagliliwanag sa himpapawid, pagkatapos mahawi ng hangin ang mga ulap. 22 Mula sa hilaga, paparating ang Dios na nagniningning na parang ginto at ang kanyang liwanag ay kahanga-hanga. 23 Hindi natin lubos na maunawaan ang Makapangyarihang Dios na napakadakila. Lubos siyang makatarungan, matuwid at hindi nang-aapi, 24 kaya iginagalang siya ng mga tao. Hindi niya pinapansin ang mga taong nagsasabing sila ay marunong.”
Job 37
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
37 ‘At this also my heart trembles,
and leaps out of its place.
2 Listen, listen to the thunder of his voice
and the rumbling that comes from his mouth.
3 Under the whole heaven he lets it loose,
and his lightning to the corners of the earth.
4 After it his voice roars;
he thunders with his majestic voice
and he does not restrain the lightnings[a] when his voice is heard.
5 God thunders wondrously with his voice;
he does great things that we cannot comprehend.
6 For to the snow he says, “Fall on the earth”;
and the shower of rain, his heavy shower of rain,
7 serves as a sign on everyone’s hand,
so that all whom he has made may know it.[b]
8 Then the animals go into their lairs
and remain in their dens.
9 From its chamber comes the whirlwind,
and cold from the scattering winds.
10 By the breath of God ice is given,
and the broad waters are frozen fast.
11 He loads the thick cloud with moisture;
the clouds scatter his lightning.
12 They turn round and round by his guidance,
to accomplish all that he commands them
on the face of the habitable world.
13 Whether for correction, or for his land,
or for love, he causes it to happen.
14 ‘Hear this, O Job;
stop and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Do you know how God lays his command upon them,
and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
16 Do you know the balancings of the clouds,
the wondrous works of the one whose knowledge is perfect,
17 you whose garments are hot
when the earth is still because of the south wind?
18 Can you, like him, spread out the skies,
unyielding as a cast mirror?
19 Teach us what we shall say to him;
we cannot draw up our case because of darkness.
20 Should he be told that I want to speak?
Did anyone ever wish to be swallowed up?
21 Now, no one can look on the light
when it is bright in the skies,
when the wind has passed and cleared them.
22 Out of the north comes golden splendour;
around God is awesome majesty.
23 The Almighty[c]—we cannot find him;
he is great in power and justice,
and abundant righteousness he will not violate.
24 Therefore mortals fear him;
he does not regard any who are wise in their own conceit.’
