I will not keep quiet about the parts of his body, or about his power, and the strength of his frame.
13 Dunu huluane da ea dabua gadofo houga: mu da hamedei. Amola ea da: igene ga: su amo somu hamedei.
Who has ever taken off his outer skin? who may come inside his inner coat of iron?

His sneezings give out flames, and his eyes are like the eyes of the dawn.
19 Ea lafidili, lalu gona: su agoai gadili ahoa. Amola ea lafidili, lalu geso bagohame gadili ahoa.
Out of his mouth go burning lights, and flames of fire are jumping up.

Smoke comes out of his nose, like a pot boiling on the fire.

When he gets ready for the fight, the strong are overcome with fear.
26 E fofa: gimusa: , gegesu gobihei da hamedafa gala. Goge agei, amola dadi da ema se ima: ne hamedafa gala.
The sword may come near him but is not able to go through him; the spear, or the arrow, or the sharp-pointed iron.
27 E da ouli, amo gisi defele, gasa hamedei ba: sa. Amola e da balase amo ifa dasai defele ba: sa.
Iron is to him as dry grass, and brass as soft wood.
28 E da dadi gala: be amoga hobeamusa: ; hame dawa: Dunu da ema gelega gala: be da gisi bioiga gala: be agoane hagisa.
The arrow is not able to put him to flight: stones are no more to him than dry stems.
29 Ea ba: sea, gegesu gigi da gisi biole hagi agoai ba: sa, amola dunu da ema dadiga gala: sea, e da amoba: le ousa.
A thick stick is no better than a leaf of grass, and he makes sport of the onrush of the spear.
30 Ea hagomo gagi da laga osoboga hamoi ofodo gagoudane fofonoboi defele ba: sa. Ilia da osobo gidinasu defele, fafu osobo dogonana.
Under him are sharp edges of broken pots: as if he was pulling a grain-crushing instrument over the wet earth.
31 E da hano wayabo bagade, hano gobei dubu heda: be agoai amola susuligi di bubunuma heda: be agoai, hamosa.
The deep is boiling like a pot of spices, and the sea like a perfume-vessel.
32 E da hano wayabo bagade da: iya ahoasea, e da ela: mei logo agoane hamosa. E da hano dubu foloai agoai hamosa.
After him his way is shining, so that the deep seems white.
33 Osobo bagadega, e agoai hame ba: sa. E da beda: su hamedafa dawa:
On earth there is not another like him, who is made without fear.
34 E da hidale, eno ohe fi huluane ilima ba: le gudusa. E da sigua ohe fi huluane ilima hina bagade agoai esala.
Everything which is high goes in fear of him; he is king over all the sons of pride.
