Job 37
Darby Translation
37 Aye, my heart trembleth at this also, and leapeth up out of its place:
2 Hear attentively the roar of his voice, and the murmur going forth from his mouth.
3 He sendeth it forth 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 holdeth not back the flashes when his voice is heard.
5 God thundereth marvellously with his voice, doing great things which we do not comprehend.
6 For he saith to the snow, Fall on the earth! and to the pouring rain, even the pouring rains of his might.
7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
8 And the wild beast goeth into its lair, and they remain in their dens.
9 From the chamber [of the south] cometh the whirlwind; and cold from the winds of the north.
10 By the breath of God ice is given; and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
11 Also with plentiful moisture he loadeth the thick clouds, his light dispels the cloud;
12 And they are turned every way by his guidance, that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the circuit of the earth,
13 Whether he cause it to come as a rod, or for his land, or in mercy.
14 Hearken unto this, Job; stand still and discern the wondrous works of God.
15 Dost thou know how +God hath disposed them, and how he causeth the lightning of his cloud to flash?
16 Dost thou know about the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him that is perfect in knowledge?
17 How thy garments become warm when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?
18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, firm, like a molten mirror?
19 Teach us what we shall say unto him! We cannot order [our words] by reason of darkness.
20 Shall it be told him if I would speak? if a man [so] say, surely he shall be swallowed up.
21 And now [men] see not the light as it gleameth, it is [hidden] in the skies. But the wind passeth by and cleareth them.
22 From the north cometh gold; with +God is terrible majesty.
23 The Almighty, we cannot find him out: excellent in power, and in judgment, and in abundance of justice, he doth not afflict.
24 Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
Аюб 37
Священное Писание (Восточный Перевод)
37 От этого сердце моё трепещет
и бросается с места прочь.
2 Слышите? Слышите гром Его голоса
и грохот из уст Его?!
3 По всему поднебесью посылает Он молнии,
посылает их до краёв земли.
4 Голос Его рокочет вослед;
гласом величия Он гремит
и не сдерживает зарниц,
когда голос Его услышан.
5 Дивно грохочет Всевышний Своим голосом;
Он творит великое – не постичь нам.
6 Говорит Он снегу: «Пади на землю»,
дождю и ливню: «Лейте сильнее!»
7 Он прекращает труды каждого человека,
чтобы все люди знали дела Его.
8 И уходят звери в свои убежища
и в берлогах своих лежат.
9 Из Его покоев приходит вихрь,
и северный ветер приносит стужу.
10 Дыханием Всевышнего творится лёд,
и твердеют вольные воды.
11 Наполняет Он тучи влагой
и молнии мечет из облаков.
12 Облака кружат по Его воле
над лицом всей земли,
совершая, что Он повелит.
13 То приходят, как бич, покарать людей,
то, даруя им милость, насыщают землю.
14 Выслушай это, Аюб;
подумай, как чудны дела Всевышнего.
15 Знаешь ли ты, как управляет тучами Всевышний,
как блестит зарницей из облака Своего?
16 Знаешь ли ты, как уравновешены облака,
знаешь ли чудеса Того, Кто познанием совершенен?
17 О ты, кому жарко в своей одежде,
когда замолкнет земля перед южным ветром,
18 ты ли вместе с Ним распростёр небеса,
твёрдые, словно литое зеркало?
19 Научи нас, что нам Ему сказать;
мы не знаем из-за своего невежества.
20 Сообщить ли Ему, что хочу с Ним говорить?
Но кто себе желает смерти?
21 Никто не может взглянуть на солнце,
когда оно блестит в небесах,
после того, как расчистит их ветер.
22 С севера идёт Всевышний в золотом сиянии,
приближается в страшном великолепии.
23 Всемогущий – мы не можем Его постичь;
силой и правдой Он велик,
праведностью богат, никого не угнетает.
24 Поэтому люди боятся Его,
и мудрые сердцем смотрят на Него.
Job 37
Living Bible
37 “My heart trembles at this. 2 Listen, listen to the thunder of his voice. 3 It rolls across the heavens and his lightning flashes out in every direction. 4 Afterwards comes the roaring of the thunder—the tremendous voice of his majesty. 5 His voice is glorious in the thunder. We cannot comprehend the greatness of his power. 6 For he directs the snow, the showers, and storm to fall upon the earth. 7 Man’s work stops at such a time so that all men everywhere may recognize his power. 8 The wild animals hide in the rocks or in their dens.
9 “From the south comes the rain; from the north, the cold. 10 God blows upon the rivers, and even the widest torrents freeze. 11 He loads the clouds with moisture, and they send forth his lightning. 12 The lightning bolts are directed by his hand and do whatever he commands throughout the earth. 13 He sends the storms[a] as punishment or, in his loving-kindness, to encourage.
14 “Listen, O Job, stop and consider the wonderful miracles of God. 15 Do you know how God controls all nature and causes the lightning to flash forth from the clouds? 16-17 Do you understand the balancing of the clouds with wonderful perfection and skill? Do you know why you become warm when the south wind is blowing and everything is still? 18 Can you spread out the gigantic mirror of the skies as he does?
19-20 “You who think you know so much,[b] teach the rest of us how we should approach God. For we are too dull to know! With your wisdom, would we then dare to approach him? Well, does a man wish to be swallowed alive? 21 For as we cannot look at the sun for its brightness when the winds have cleared away the clouds, 22 neither can we gaze at the terrible majesty of God breaking forth upon us from heaven, clothed in dazzling splendor. 23 We cannot imagine the power of the Almighty, and yet he is so just and merciful that he does not destroy us. 24 No wonder men everywhere fear him! For he is not impressed by the world’s wisest men!”
