Joba 37
1 Eny, izany no mampitepotepo ny foko ka mampiemponempona azy hiala amin’ ny fitoerany.
"Yes, at this my heart trembles, 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, oh, hear the noise of his voice, the sound that goes out of his mouth.
3 Mandefa izany ho eny ambanin’ ny lanitra rehetra Izy, ary ny helatra hatramin’ ny faran’ ny tany.
He sends it forth under the whole sky, and his lightning to the farthest parts 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 voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty. He doesn't hold back anything when his voice is heard.
5 Mahagaga ny fikotrokotrok’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny feony; Manao zava-dehibe tsy takatry ny saintsika Izy.
God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can't comprehend.
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 says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth;' likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of his mighty rain.
7 Mampiohona ny tanan’ ny olona rehetra Izy, mba samy hahalala izany ny olona rehetra izay nataony;
He seals up the hand of every man, that all men whom he has made may know it.
8 Ary miditra ao am-piereny koa ny bibidia ka mamitsaka ao an-davany.
Then the animals take cover, and remain in their dens.
9 Avy any atsimo ny tadio, ary entin’ ny rivotra avy any avaratra ny hatsiaka.
Out of its chamber comes the storm, and cold out of the north.
10 Ny fofonain’ Andriamanitra mahamisy ranomandry, ka voageja ny rano malalaka.
By the breath of God, ice is given, and the breadth of the waters is frozen.
11 Ny rahona matevina tambesarany rano, ary ny rahon’ ny helatra dia ampieleziny;
Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.
12 Dia mihodinkodina araka ny fitarihany azy ireo hanatanteraka izay rehetra andidiany azy eny ambonin’ ny tany eran’ izao tontolo izao,
It is turned around by his guidance, that they may do whatever he commands them on the surface of the habitable world,
13 Na alatsany ho famaizana raha tokony ho an’ ny taniny izany na ho famindram-po kosa.
Whether it is for correction, or for his land, or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come.
14 Mihainoa izany, ry Joba; Mijanona, ka mba diniho ny fahagagana ataon’ Andriamanitra.
"Listen to this, Job. Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Fantatrao va ny fanamboaran’ Andriamanitra ireny sy ny fampitselatselany ny helatry ny rahony?
Do you know how God controls them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
16 Fantatrao va ny fihevahevan’ ny rahona matevina, dia ny fahagagana avon’ Ilay tanteraka amin’ ny fahalalana?
Do you know the workings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
17 Hianao izay mahatsiaro ny fitafianao ho mafana, raha migaingaina ny andro azon’ ny rivotra avy any atsimo,
You whose clothing is warm, when the earth is still by reason of the south wind?
18 Moa ianao niara-nanao taminy va, raha namelatra ny habakabaka Izy, izay mitoetra mafy toy ny zavatra manganohano natao an-idina?
Can you, with him, spread out the sky, which is strong as a cast metal mirror?
19 Mba ampianaro anay ary izay holazainay aminy; Fa tsy hitanay izay halahatray noho ny aizina,
Teach us what we shall tell him, for we can't make our case by reason of darkness.
20 Holazaina aminy va, raha miteny aho? Moa misy olona maniry ho levona tokoa va?
Shall it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
21 Tsy hita ankehitriny ny mazava, Izay mamirapiratra any amin’ ny rahona: Nefa raha mandalo ny rivotra, dia mampisava azy ihany izany.
Now men do not see the light which is bright in the skies, but the wind passes, and clears them.
22 Avy any avaratra no ihavian’ ny mazava mitarehim-bolamena; Ao amin’ Andriamanitra ny voninahitra mahatahotra.
Out of the north comes golden splendor. With God is awesome majesty.
23 Ny Tsitoha, tsy mahita Azy isika; Izay lehibe amin’ ny hery sy ny fitsarana mbamin’ ny fahamarinana tanteraka dia tsy mba mampahory.
We can't reach Shaddai. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.
24 Koa izany no atahoran’ ny olona Azy; Tsy mety mijery izay manao azy ho hendry Izy.
Therefore men revere him. He doesn't regard any who are wise of heart."
