Joba 37
1 Eny, izany no mampitepotepo ny foko ka mampiemponempona azy hiala amin’ ny fitoerany.
At this also mine heart is astonied, and is mooued out of his place.
2 Mihainoa dia mihainoa ny fikotrokotroky ny feony sy ny rohona izay mivoaka avy amin’ ny vavany.
Heare the sound of his voyce, and the noyse that goeth out of his mouth.
3 Mandefa izany ho eny ambanin’ ny lanitra rehetra Izy, ary ny helatra hatramin’ ny faran’ ny tany.
He directeth it vnder the whole heauen, and his light vnto the endes of the world.
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 noyse soundeth: hee thundereth with the voyce of his maiestie, and hee will not stay them when his voyce is heard.
5 Mahagaga ny fikotrokotrok’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny feony; Manao zava-dehibe tsy takatry ny saintsika Izy.
God thundereth marueilously with his voyce: he worketh great things, which we know not.
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.
For he sayth to the snowe, Be thou vpon the earth: likewise to the small rayne and to the great rayne of his power.
7 Mampiohona ny tanan’ ny olona rehetra Izy, mba samy hahalala izany ny olona rehetra izay nataony;
With the force thereof he shutteth vp euery man, that all men may knowe his worke.
8 Ary miditra ao am-piereny koa ny bibidia ka mamitsaka ao an-davany.
Then the beastes go into the denne, and remaine in their places.
9 Avy any atsimo ny tadio, ary entin’ ny rivotra avy any avaratra ny hatsiaka.
The whirlewind commeth out of the South, and the colde from the North winde.
10 Ny fofonain’ Andriamanitra mahamisy ranomandry, ka voageja ny rano malalaka.
At the breath of God the frost is giuen, and the breadth of the waters is made narrowe.
11 Ny rahona matevina tambesarany rano, ary ny rahon’ ny helatra dia ampieleziny;
He maketh also the cloudes to labour, to water the earth, and scattereth the cloude of his light.
12 Dia mihodinkodina araka ny fitarihany azy ireo hanatanteraka izay rehetra andidiany azy eny ambonin’ ny tany eran’ izao tontolo izao,
And it is turned about by his gouernment, that they may doe whatsoeuer he commandeth them vpon the whole worlde:
13 Na alatsany ho famaizana raha tokony ho an’ ny taniny izany na ho famindram-po kosa.
Whether it be for punishment, or for his lande, or of mercie, he causeth it to come.
14 Mihainoa izany, ry Joba; Mijanona, ka mba diniho ny fahagagana ataon’ Andriamanitra.
Hearken vnto this, O Iob: stand and consider the wonderous workes of God.
15 Fantatrao va ny fanamboaran’ Andriamanitra ireny sy ny fampitselatselany ny helatry ny rahony?
Diddest thou knowe when God disposed them? and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
16 Fantatrao va ny fihevahevan’ ny rahona matevina, dia ny fahagagana avon’ Ilay tanteraka amin’ ny fahalalana?
Hast thou knowen the varietie of the cloude, and the wonderous workes of him, that is perfite in knowledge?
17 Hianao izay mahatsiaro ny fitafianao ho mafana, raha migaingaina ny andro azon’ ny rivotra avy any atsimo,
Or howe thy clothes are warme, when he maketh the earth quiet through the South winde?
18 Moa ianao niara-nanao taminy va, raha namelatra ny habakabaka Izy, izay mitoetra mafy toy ny zavatra manganohano natao an-idina?
Hast thou stretched out the heaues, which are strong, and as a molten glasse?
19 Mba ampianaro anay ary izay holazainay aminy; Fa tsy hitanay izay halahatray noho ny aizina,
Tell vs what we shall say vnto him: for we can not dispose our matter because of darknes.
20 Holazaina aminy va, raha miteny aho? Moa misy olona maniry ho levona tokoa va?
Shall it be told him when I speake? or shall man speake when he shalbe destroyed?
21 Tsy hita ankehitriny ny mazava, Izay mamirapiratra any amin’ ny rahona: Nefa raha mandalo ny rivotra, dia mampisava azy ihany izany.
And nowe men see not the light, which shineth in the cloudes, but the winde passeth and clenseth them.
22 Avy any avaratra no ihavian’ ny mazava mitarehim-bolamena; Ao amin’ Andriamanitra ny voninahitra mahatahotra.
The brightnesse commeth out of the North: the praise thereof is to God, which is terrible.
23 Ny Tsitoha, tsy mahita Azy isika; Izay lehibe amin’ ny hery sy ny fitsarana mbamin’ ny fahamarinana tanteraka dia tsy mba mampahory.
It is the Almightie: we can not finde him out: he is excellent in power and iudgement, and aboundant in iustice: he afflicteth not.
24 Koa izany no atahoran’ ny olona Azy; Tsy mety mijery izay manao azy ho hendry Izy.
Let men therefore feare him: for he will not regarde any that are wise in their owne conceit.
