Joba 37
1 Eny, izany no mampitepotepo ny foko ka mampiemponempona azy hiala amin’ ny fitoerany.
At this my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place.
2 Mihainoa dia mihainoa ny fikotrokotroky ny feony sy ny rohona izay mivoaka avy amin’ ny vavany.
Hear ye attentively the terror of his voice, and the sound that cometh out of his mouth.
3 Mandefa izany ho eny ambanin’ ny lanitra rehetra Izy, ary ny helatra hatramin’ ny faran’ ny tany.
He beholdeth under all the heavens, and his light is upon the ends of the earth.
4 Manarakaraka izany, dia misy feo mirohondrohona; Mampikotrokotroka ny feon’ ny fahalehibiazany Izy, ka rehefa re ny feony, dia tsy sakanany ny helatra.
After it a noise shall roar, he shall thunder with the voice of his majesty, and shall not be found out, when his voice shall be heard.
5 Mahagaga ny fikotrokotrok’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny feony; Manao zava-dehibe tsy takatry ny saintsika Izy.
God shall thunder wonderfully with his voice, he that doth great and unsearchable things.
6 Fa ny oram-panala baikoiny hoe: Milatsaha eny ambonin’ ny tany ianao; Ary toy izany koa ny ranonorana mivatravatra, eny, dia ny ranonorany mivatravatra mafy.
He commandeth the snow to go down upon the earth, and the winter rain, and the shower of his strength.
7 Mampiohona ny tanan’ ny olona rehetra Izy, mba samy hahalala izany ny olona rehetra izay nataony;
He sealeth up the hand of all men, that every one may know his works.
8 Ary miditra ao am-piereny koa ny bibidia ka mamitsaka ao an-davany.
Then the beast shall go into his covert, and shall abide in his den.
9 Avy any atsimo ny tadio, ary entin’ ny rivotra avy any avaratra ny hatsiaka.
Out of the inner parts shall a tempest come, and cold out of the north.
10 Ny fofonain’ Andriamanitra mahamisy ranomandry, ka voageja ny rano malalaka.
When God bloweth there cometh frost, and again the waters are poured out abundantly.
11 Ny rahona matevina tambesarany rano, ary ny rahon’ ny helatra dia ampieleziny;
Corn desireth clouds, and the clouds spread their light:
12 Dia mihodinkodina araka ny fitarihany azy ireo hanatanteraka izay rehetra andidiany azy eny ambonin’ ny tany eran’ izao tontolo izao,
Which go round about, whithersoever the will of him that governeth them shall lead them, to whatsoever he shall command them upon the face of the whole earth:
13 Na alatsany ho famaizana raha tokony ho an’ ny taniny izany na ho famindram-po kosa.
Whether in one tribe, or in his own land, or in what place soever of his mercy he shall command them to be found.
14 Mihainoa izany, ry Joba; Mijanona, ka mba diniho ny fahagagana ataon’ Andriamanitra.
Hearken to these things, Job: Stand, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Fantatrao va ny fanamboaran’ Andriamanitra ireny sy ny fampitselatselany ny helatry ny rahony?
Dost thou know when God commanded the rains, to shew his light of his clouds?
16 Fantatrao va ny fihevahevan’ ny rahona matevina, dia ny fahagagana avon’ Ilay tanteraka amin’ ny fahalalana?
Knowest thou the great paths of the clouds, and the perfect knowledges?
17 Hianao izay mahatsiaro ny fitafianao ho mafana, raha migaingaina ny andro azon’ ny rivotra avy any atsimo,
Are not thy garments hot, when the south wind blows upon the earth?
18 Moa ianao niara-nanao taminy va, raha namelatra ny habakabaka Izy, izay mitoetra mafy toy ny zavatra manganohano natao an-idina?
Thou perhaps hast made the heavens with him, which are most strong, as if they were of molten brass.
19 Mba ampianaro anay ary izay holazainay aminy; Fa tsy hitanay izay halahatray noho ny aizina,
Shew us what we may say to him: for we are wrapped up in darkness.
20 Holazaina aminy va, raha miteny aho? Moa misy olona maniry ho levona tokoa va?
Who shall tell him the things I speak? even if a man shall speak, he shall be swallowed up.
21 Tsy hita ankehitriny ny mazava, Izay mamirapiratra any amin’ ny rahona: Nefa raha mandalo ny rivotra, dia mampisava azy ihany izany.
But now they see not the light: the air on a sudden shall be thickened into clouds, and the wind shall pass and drive them away.
22 Avy any avaratra no ihavian’ ny mazava mitarehim-bolamena; Ao amin’ Andriamanitra ny voninahitra mahatahotra.
Cold cometh out of the north, and to God praise with fear.
23 Ny Tsitoha, tsy mahita Azy isika; Izay lehibe amin’ ny hery sy ny fitsarana mbamin’ ny fahamarinana tanteraka dia tsy mba mampahory.
We cannot find him worthily: he is great in strength, and in judgment, and in justice, and he is ineffable.
24 Koa izany no atahoran’ ny olona Azy; Tsy mety mijery izay manao azy ho hendry Izy.
Therefore men shall fear him, and all that seem to themselves to be wise, shall not dare to behold him.
