Who hath shown me favor, that I should repay him! whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.—
12 Na Lifaiada: ne ea emo ea hou dima adomu galebe. Ea gasa bagade hou amola dima olelemu.
I will not conceal [the account of] his limbs, nor the relation of his might, nor the grace of his proportion.
13 Dunu huluane da ea dabua gadofo houga: mu da hamedei. Amola ea da: igene ga: su amo somu hamedei.
Who hath ever laid open the front of his garment? or who can penetrate into his double row of teeth?

From his sneezing there beameth forth a light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning-dawn.
19 Ea lafidili, lalu gona: su agoai gadili ahoa. Amola ea lafidili, lalu geso bagohame gadili ahoa.
Out of his mouth issue burning torches, sparks of fire escape [therefrom].

He esteemeth iron as straw, [and] brass as rotten wood.

The child of the bow cannot make him flee: into stubble are slingstones changed unto him.
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.
Clubs are esteemed as stubble, and he laugheth at the whirring of the lance.

Beneath him are sharp-pointed potsherds, he spreadeth out, [as it were, a] threshing-roller upon the mire.
31 E da hano wayabo bagade, hano gobei dubu heda: be agoai amola susuligi di bubunuma heda: be agoai, hamosa.
He causeth the deep to boil like a pot: he rendereth the sea like an apothecary's mixture.
32 E da hano wayabo bagade da: iya ahoasea, e da ela: mei logo agoane hamosa. E da hano dubu foloai agoai hamosa.
Behind him he causeth his pathway to shine, [so that] men esteem the deep to be hoary.
33 Osobo bagadega, e agoai hame ba: sa. E da beda: su hamedafa dawa:
There is none upon earth that ruleth over him, who is made to be without dread.
34 E da hidale, eno ohe fi huluane ilima ba: le gudusa. E da sigua ohe fi huluane ilima hina bagade agoai esala.
He looketh upon all that is high: he is the king over all the ravenous beasts.
