Jobsbók 37
Icelandic Bible
37 Já, yfir þessu titrar hjarta mitt og hrökkur upp úr stað sínum.
2 Heyrið, heyrið drunur raddar hans og hvininn, sem út fer af munni hans.
3 Undir öllum himninum lætur hann eldinguna þjóta og leiftur sitt út á jaðra jarðarinnar.
4 Á eftir því kemur öskrandi skrugga, hann þrumar með sinni tignarlegu raust og heldur eldingunum ekki aftur, þá er raust hans lætur til sín heyra.
5 Guð þrumar undursamlega með raust sinni, hann sem gjörir mikla hluti, er vér eigi skiljum.
6 Því að hann segir við snjóinn: "Fall þú á jörðina," og eins við hellirigninguna og hennar dynjandi helliskúrir.
7 Hann innsiglar hönd sérhvers manns, til þess að allir menn viðurkenni verk hans.
8 Þá fara villidýrin í fylgsni sín og hvílast í bælum sínum.
9 Stormurinn kemur úr forðabúrinu og kuldinn af norðanvindunum.
10 Fyrir andgust Guðs verður ísinn til, og víð vötnin eru lögð í læðing.
11 Hann hleður skýin vætu, tvístrar leifturskýi sínu víðsvegar.
12 En það snýst í allar áttir, eftir því sem hann leiðir það, til þess að það framkvæmi allt það er hann býður því, á yfirborði allrar jarðarinnar.
13 Hann lætur því ljósta niður, hvort sem það er til hirtingar eða til að vökva jörðina eða til að blessa hana.
14 Hlýð þú á þetta, Job, stattu kyrr og gef gaum að dásemdum Guðs.
15 Skilur þú, hvernig Guð felur þeim hlutverk þeirra og lætur leiftur skýja sinna skína?
16 Skilur þú, hvernig skýin svífa, dásemdir hans, sem fullkominn er að vísdómi,
17 þú, sem fötin hitna á, þá er jörðin mókir í sunnanmollu?
18 Þenur þú út með honum heiðhimininn, sem fastur er eins og steyptur spegill?
19 Kenn oss, hvað vér eigum að segja við hann! Vér megnum ekkert fram að færa fyrir myrkri.
20 Á að segja honum, að ég ætli að tala? Eða hefir nokkur sagt, að hann óski að verða gjöreyddur?
21 Og nú sjá menn að sönnu ekki ljósið, sem skín skært að skýjabaki, en vindurinn þýtur áfram og sópar skýjunum burt.
22 Gullið kemur úr norðri, um Guð lykur ógurlegur ljómi.
23 Vér náum eigi til hins Almáttka, til hans, sem er mikill að mætti. En réttinn og hið fulla réttlæti vanrækir hann ekki.
24 Fyrir því óttast mennirnir hann, en hann lítur ekki við neinum sjálfbirgingum.
Job 37
New International Version
Job 37
New International Version
37 “At this my heart pounds(A)
and leaps from its place.
2 Listen!(B) Listen to the roar of his voice,(C)
to the rumbling that comes from his mouth.(D)
3 He unleashes his lightning(E) beneath the whole heaven
and sends it to the ends of the earth.(F)
4 After that comes the sound of his roar;
he thunders(G) with his majestic voice.(H)
When his voice resounds,
he holds nothing back.
5 God’s voice thunders(I) in marvelous ways;(J)
he does great things beyond our understanding.(K)
6 He says to the snow,(L) ‘Fall on the earth,’
and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’(M)
7 So that everyone he has made may know his work,(N)
he stops all people from their labor.[a](O)
8 The animals take cover;(P)
they remain in their dens.(Q)
9 The tempest comes out from its chamber,(R)
the cold from the driving winds.(S)
10 The breath of God produces ice,
and the broad waters become frozen.(T)
11 He loads the clouds with moisture;(U)
he scatters his lightning(V) through them.(W)
12 At his direction they swirl around
over the face of the whole earth
to do whatever he commands them.(X)
13 He brings the clouds to punish people,(Y)
or to water his earth and show his love.(Z)
14 “Listen(AA) to this, Job;
stop and consider God’s wonders.(AB)
15 Do you know how God controls the clouds
and makes his lightning(AC) flash?(AD)
16 Do you know how the clouds hang poised,(AE)
those wonders of him who has perfect knowledge?(AF)
17 You who swelter in your clothes
when the land lies hushed under the south wind,(AG)
18 can you join him in spreading out the skies,(AH)
hard as a mirror of cast bronze?(AI)
19 “Tell us what we should say to him;(AJ)
we cannot draw up our case(AK) because of our darkness.(AL)
20 Should he be told that I want to speak?
Would anyone ask to be swallowed up?
21 Now no one can look at the sun,(AM)
bright as it is in the skies
after the wind has swept them clean.
22 Out of the north he comes in golden splendor;(AN)
God comes in awesome majesty.(AO)
23 The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power;(AP)
in his justice(AQ) and great righteousness, he does not oppress.(AR)
24 Therefore, people revere him,(AS)
for does he not have regard for all the wise(AT) in heart?[b]”
Job 37
King James Version
Job 37
King James Version
37 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.
2 Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.
3 He directeth it 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 he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
5 God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
6 For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
8 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
9 Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.
10 By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
11 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:
12 And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.
13 He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
14 Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
16 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
17 How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?
18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?
19 Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.
20 Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.
21 And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
22 Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.
23 Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.
24 Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
