Job 37

NEW JERUSALEM	Peshitta
1 At this, my very heart quakes and leaps out of its place.	1 ܘܐܦ ܥܠ ܗܕܐ ܢܬܬܙܝܥ ܠܒܗ ܘܢܙܘܥ ܡܢ ܕܘܟܬܗ
2 Listen, oh listen, to the blast of his voice and the sound that issues from his mouth.	2 ܫܡܥܘ ܡܫܡܥ ܩܠܗ ܒܪܘܓܙܐ ܕܝܢܐ ܕܢ̇ܦܩ ܡܢ ܦܘܡܗ
3 His lightning is hurled across the heaven, it strikes to the extremities of earth.	3 ܬܚܝܬ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܢܫܒܚܘܢܗ ܘܢܘܗܪܗ ܥܠ ܟܢ̈ܦܝܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ
4 After it comes a roaring sound, God thunders with majestic voice. He does not check his thunderboltsuntil his voice resounds no more.	4 ܒܐܬܪܗ ܢܪܥܡ ܒܩܠܐ ܕܓܐܝܘܬܗ ܘܠܐ ܢܥܩܒ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܩܠܗ
5 Yes, certainly God shows us marvels and does great deeds that we cannot understand.	5 ܘܢܪܥܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܒܩܠܗ ܬܕܡܪ̈ܬܐ ܥ̇ܒܕ ܘܪ̈ܘܪܒܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܝܕܥ
6 When he says to the snow, 'Fal on the earth!' to the showers, 'Now rain hard!'	6 ܡܛܠ ܕܠܬܠܓܐ ܐܡܪ ܗܘܝ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܡܛܪܐ ܘܪܒܝܥܐ ܪܒܐ
7 he brings al human activity to a standstil , for everyone to acknowledge his work.	7 ܒܝܕ ܟܘܠ ܐܢܫ ܚܬܡ ܕܢܘܕܥ ܠܟܘܠ ܐܢܫ ܥܒ̇ܕܘ̈ܗܝ
8 The animals go back to their dens and take shelter in their lairs.	8 ܘܬܥܘܠ ܚܝܘܬܐ ܒܟܡܐܢܐ ܘܬܫܪܐ ܒܡܪܒܘܥܝܬܗ̇
9 The storm wind comes from the Mansion of the South, and the north winds usher in the cold.	9 ܡܢ ܬܘ̈ܘܢܐ ܬܐܬܐ ܟܘܟܝܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܙܪܝܦܬܐ ܩܘܪܫܐ
10 At the breath of God, ice comes next, the surface of the waters hardens over.	10 ܘܡܢ ܢܫܡܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܢܬܝܗܒ ܓܠܝܕܐ ܘܣܘܓܐܐ ܕܡ̈ܝܐ ܡܚܬ
11 He weighs the clouds down with moisture, and the storm clouds radiate his lightning.	11 ܘܪܟܝܟܐܝܬ ܡܬܡܬ̈ܚܢ ܥܢ̈ܢܐ ܘܦܪܣ ܥܢ̈ܢܐ ܕܢܘܗܪܗ
12 He himself guides their wheeling motion presiding over their seasonal changes. They carry out hisorders to the letter al over this earthly world.	12 ܘܗܘ ܡܬܟܪܟ ܘܡܬܗܦܟ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܡܚܫ̈ܒܢ ܟܠ ܕܦ̇ܩܕ ܠܗܘܢ ܥܠ ܐ̈ܦܝ ܬܒܝܠ ܐܪܥܗ
13 Whether to punish earth's peoples or as a work of faithful love, he despatches them.	13 ܐܢ ܠܫ̈ܠܝܛܢܐ ܘܐܢ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܘܐܢ ܠܚܣܝܕܐ ܕܡܫܬܟܚ ܒܗ̇
14 Listen to this, Job, without flinching and reflect on the marvel ous works of God.	14 ܨܘܬ ܗܕܐ ܐܝܘܒ ܘܫܡܥ ܘܐܬܒܝܢ ܬܕܡܪ̈ܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ
15 Do you know how God controls them or how his clouds make the lightning flash?	15 ܗܐ ܝ̇ܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܡܕܡ ܕܣܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܓܠܐ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܕܥܢ̈ܢܘܗܝ
16 Do you know how he balances the clouds -- a miracle of consummate skil ?	16 ܝ̇ܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܡܦܩܐ ܕܥܢ̈ܢܐ ܘܬܕܡܪ̈ܬܐ ܕܕܠܐ ܡܘܡ ܒܐܝܕܥܬܐ
17 When your clothes are hot to your body and the earth lies stil under the south wind,	17 ܠܒ̈ܘܫܝܟ ܢܚܡܘܢ ܘܬܫ̇ܢܐ ܐܪܥܐ ܡܢ ܬܝܡܢܐ
18 can you, like him, stretch out the sky, tempered like a mirror of cast metal?	18 ܘܬܪܩܘܥ ܥܡܗ ܠܪܩܝܥܐ ܬܩܝܦܐ ܠܡܣܡܟܘ ܐܟܚܕܐ
19 Teach me what we should say to him: but better discuss no further, since we are in the dark.	19 ܐܘܕܥܝܢܝ ܡܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܘܠܐ ܢܣܬܬܪ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܚܫܘܟܐ
20 Does he take note when I speak? When human beings give orders, does he take it in?	20 ܘܐܫܬܥܐ ܠܗ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܡܪ ܘܐܢ ܢܐܡܪ ܓܒܪܐ ܢܬܒܠܥ
21 There are times when the light vanishes, behind darkening clouds; then comes the wind, sweepingthem away.	21 ܘܗܫܐ ܠܐ ܚܙܘ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܢܗܝܪ ܗܘ ܒܪܩܝܥܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܘܪܘܚܐ ܬܥܒܪ ܘܬܕܟܐ ܐܢܘܢ
22 and brightness spreads from the north. God is clothed in fearful splendour:	22 ܡܢ ܓܪܒܝܐ ܕܗܒܐ ܢܐܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܚܣܝܢܐ
23 he, Shaddai, is far beyond our reach. Supreme in power, in equity, excel ing in saving justice, yet nooppressor-	23 ܣܓܝ ܚܝܠܐ ܘܕܝܢܐ ܘܪܒ ܙܟܝ̈ܝܢ ܠܐ ܢܥܢܐ
24 no wonder then that people fear him: everyone thoughtful holds him in awe!	24 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܢܕܚܠܘܢ ܐܢ̈ܫܝܢ ܘܢܙܘܥܘܢ ܡܢܗ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܚ̈ܟܝܡܝ ܠܒܐ
