Joba 37
1 Inao ka, ty mampinevenevetse ty troko ty mampitsamboañe aze an-toe’e.
At this my heart trembleth, And leapeth out of its place.
2 Tsatsiho ty fipoñam-piarañanaña’e, naho i hotroke miakatse am-palie’ey.
Hear, O hear, the thunder of his voice, And the noise which goeth forth from his mouth!
3 Hahà’e ambanen-kaliforan-dikerañe eo naho i hela’ey pak’añ’olo-ty tane toy.
He directeth it under the whole heaven, And his lightning to the ends of the earth.
4 Mandimbe aze ty fitroñam-peo, mangotrok’ amy fiarañanañan’ enge’ey vaho tsy ho kalaña’e i helatsey t’ie janjiñeñe i fiarañanaña’ey.
After it the thunder roareth; He thundereth with his voice of majesty, And restraineth it not, when his voice is heard.
5 Halatsàñe ty fangotrohan’ Añahare i fiarañanaña’ey; ra’elahy o fitoloña’eo, tsy lefen-tika tsikaraheñe.
God thundereth with his voice marvellously; Great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
6 Hoe re amy fanalay, Mifiafià an-tane eo; naho amy orañey, Milihira.
For he saith to the snow, “Be thou on the earth!” To the shower also, even the showers of his might.
7 Vihine’e iaby ty fità’ondatio hahafohina’ ze kila ondaty ty fitoloña’e.
He sealeth up the hand of every man, That all men whom he hath made may acknowledge him.
8 Mimoak’ an-dakato ao amy zao o bibio, miampitse am-pipalira’e ao.
Then the beasts go into dens, And abide in their caverns.
9 Boak’ atimo ao ty tangololahy, boak’ avaratse añe i tsintsiñey.
Out of the south cometh the whirlwind, And cold out of the north.
10 Ty kofòn’ Añahare ro anoloram-panala, Ajihe’e ty fibanara’ o ranoo.
By the breath of God ice is formed, And the broad waters become narrow,
11 Ampijinie’e halèñe i rahoñe milodolodoy: Ampiparaitahe’e mb’eo o rahom-pihelara’eo.
Yea, with moisture he burdeneth the clouds; He spreadeth abroad his lightning-clouds.
12 Mibalike re, añodiña’ ty fiteha’e, hanoa’e ze andilia’e ambone’ o tane fimoneñañeo.
They move about by his direction, To execute all his commands throughout the world;
13 Ampahavia’e, ke t’ie kobaiñe, ke ho an-tane’e, he te fiferenaiñañe.
Whether he cause them to come for punishment, Or for the land, or for mercy.
14 Inao! ry Iobe, mijohaña vaho haraharao o fitoloñan’Añahare fanjakao.
Give ear to this, O Job! Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God!
15 Fohi’o hao ty fampijadoñan’ Añahare iareo? Ty fampipalipalitsie’e o raho’eo himilemiletse.
Dost thou know when God gave commandment to them, And caused the lightning of his cloud to flash?
16 Fohi’o hao ty fandanjan-drahoñe, o halatsañe amy Lifo-kilalaio?
Dost thou understand the balancing of the clouds, The wondrous works of Him that is perfect in knowledge?
17 Ihe aman-tsaroñe matrovoke naho ampitsiñe’ i tiok’atimoy ty tane toy?
How thy garments become warm, When he maketh the earth still by the south wind?
18 Lefe’o hao, ihe mitraok’ ama’e, ty mamelatse i likerañey, an-kagàn-ketsoro natranake.
Canst thou like him spread out the sky, Which is firm like a molten mirror?
19 Añanaro anay ty ho saontsie’ay; Fa tsy mahafandahatse zahay ty amy ieñey.
Teach us what we shall say to him! For we cannot set in order our words by reason of darkness.
20 Hisaontsiañe hao te izaho hivolañe? Ihalalia’ t’indaty hao te hagedrañe.
Shall it be told him that I would speak? Shall a man speak, that he may be consumed?
21 Tsy ho isa’e henaneo i hazavàñe mireandreañe an-kalo’ o rahoñeo; naho tsy ampisavae’ i tioke mihelañey.
For now men do not look upon the light, When it is bright in the skies, When the wind hath passed over them, and made them clear.
22 Havolamenañe ty boak’ avaratse añe; aman’engeñe maharevendreveñe t’i Andrianañahare.
From the north cometh gold; But with God is terrible majesty!
23 Tsy lefe’ay tsikaraheñe ‘nio i El-Sadai, Jabahinak’ an’ ozatse, fe tsy olañe’e ty zaka naho ty havantañañe vokatse.
The Almighty, we cannot find him out; Great is he in power and justice, Abundant in righteousness; he doth not oppress.
24 Aa le mañeveñe ama’e ondatio; leo raike tsy haoñe’e t’ie manao kante an-troke.
Therefore let men fear him! Upon none of the wise in heart will he look.
