Job 37
International Children’s Bible
37 “At the sound of his thunder, my heart pounds.
It is as if my heart will jump out of my chest.
2 Listen! Listen to the thunder of God’s voice.
Listen to the rumbling that comes from his mouth.
3 He turns his lightning loose under the whole sky.
And he sends it to the farthest parts of the earth.
4 After that you can hear the roar
when he thunders with a great sound.
He does not hold back the flashing
when his voice is heard.
5 God’s voice thunders in wonderful ways.
He does great things we cannot understand.
6 God says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth.’
And he says to the rain shower, ‘Be a heavy rain.’
7 With it, God stops everyone from working.
That way, everyone knows it is the work of God.
8 The animals take cover from the rain.
They stay in their dens.
9 The storm comes from where it was stored.
The cold comes from the strong winds.
10 The breath of God makes ice.
And the wide waters become frozen.
11 God fills the clouds up with water.
And he scatters his lightning through them.
12 At God’s command they swirl around
over the whole earth.
They do whatever he commands.
13 God uses the clouds to punish people
or to water his earth and show his love.
14 “Job, listen to this.
Stop and notice God’s miracles.
15 Do you know how God controls the clouds
and makes his lightning flash?
16 Do you know how the clouds hang in the sky?
They are the miracles of God, who knows everything.
17 You suffer in your clothes
when the land is made quiet by the hot, south wind.
18 You cannot stretch out the sky like God
and make it look as hard as polished bronze.
19 Tell us what we should say to God.
We cannot get our arguments ready because we do not have enough understanding.
20 Should God be told that I want to speak?
A man might try to speak to God, but he would surely be
swallowed up.
21 No one can look at the sun
when it is bright in the sky
after the wind has blown all the clouds away.
22 God comes out of the north in golden light.
He comes in overwhelming greatness.
23 God All-Powerful is too high for us to reach.
He has great strength.
He is always right and never punishes unfairly.
24 That is why people honor God.
He does not respect those who say they are wise.”
Yobu 37
Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
37 “Kino kikankanya omutima gwange,
ne gubuuka okuva mu kifo kyagwo.
2 (A)Wuliriza okubwatuka kw’eddoboozi lye,
n’okuwuluguma okuva mu kamwa ke.
3 Asumulula eggulu ne limyansa wansi w’eggulu wonna,
n’aliragira ligende ku nkomerero y’ensi.
4 Kino oluggwa, okuwuluguma kw’eddoboozi lye kwe kuddako,
abwatuka n’eddoboozi lye ery’omwanguka,
era eddoboozi lye bwe liwulirwa,
tewabaawo kisigala nga bwe kibadde.
5 (B)Eddoboozi lya Katonda libwatuka mu ngeri ey’ekitalo;
akola ebintu ebikulu ebisukka okutegeera kwaffe.
6 (C)Agamba omuzira nti, ‘Ggwa ku nsi,’
ate eri enkuba etonnya nti, ‘Ttonnya nnyo.’
7 (D)Emirimu gya buli muntu giyimirira,
buli omu n’alyoka amanya amaanyi ga Katonda.
8 (E)Ensolo ne ziryoka zessogga empuku zaazo,
ne zigenda zeekukuma.
9 Omuyaga ne gulyoka guva mu nnyumba yaagwo,
n’obunnyogovu ne buva mu mpewo ekuŋŋunta.
10 (F)Omuzira ne guva mu mukka gwa Katonda
n’amazzi amangi ne gekwata kitole.
11 (G)Ebire abijjuza amatondo g’amazzi,
n’asaasaanya okumyansa kw’eggulu.
12 (H)Byetooloolatooloola nga y’abiragira,
ne bituukiriza byonna by’abiragira,
ku nsi yonna okubeera abantu.
13 (I)Bwe kuba kubonereza, oba okufukirira ensi
oba okulaga okwagala kwe, atonnyesa enkuba.
14 “Wuliriza kino Yobu;
sooka oyimirire olowooze ku bikolwa bya Katonda eby’ettendo.
15 Omanyi Katonda engeri gy’alagiramu ebire,
n’aleetera eggulu okumyansa?
16 (J)Omanyi engeri ebire gye bituulamu mu bbanga,
amakula g’emirimu gy’oyo eyatuukirira mu kumanya?
17 Ggwe alina ebyambalo ebibuguma,
ensi bw’eba ng’ekkakkanyizibbwa embuyaga ez’obukiikaddyo,
18 (K)oyinza okumwegattako ne mubamba eggulu,
eryaguma ne libeera ng’endabirwamu ensanuuse?
19 “Tubuulire kye tunaamugamba;
tetusobola kuwoza nsonga zaffe gy’ali olw’ekizikiza kye tulimu.
20 Asaanidde okubuulirwa kye njagala okwogera?
Eriyo omuntu yenna ayinza okusaba okumalibwawo?
21 Kaakano tewali n’omu ayinza kutunula mu njuba,
olw’engeri gy’eyakamu ku ggulu,
ng’empewo emaze okuyita, n’eyelula ebire.
22 Mu bukiikakkono evaayo zaabu;
Katonda ajja mu kitiibwa eky’amaanyi.
23 (L)Ayinzabyonna tatuukikako era agulumidde mu maanyi,
mu bwenkanya bwe era ne butuukirivu bwe, tawaliriza muntu yenna.
24 (M)Noolwekyo abantu bamutya,
takitwala ng’ekikulu olw’abo abeerowooza okuba abagezi mu mitima gyabwe.”
