¹But Job answered and said,

¹[Ny teny navalin'i Joba] Dia namaly Joba ka nanao hoe:

²How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?

²Endrey! nanohana ny tsy manan-kery ianao sy nampahatanjaka ny sandry malemy!

³How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?

³Ary nanolo-tsaina ny tsy hendry sy nampahafantatra izay fahendrena betsaka!

⁴To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?

⁴Iza no nandaharanao teny? Ary fanahin'izay no nivoaka avy tao aminao?

⁵Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.

⁵Ny matoatoa dia ampanaintainina Any ambanin'ny rano sy any ambanin'ny mponina any.

⁶Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.

⁶Ny fiainan-tsi-hita miharihary eo anatrehany, ary ny fandringanana dia tsy mirakotra.[Heb. Sheola]

⁷He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

⁷Mamelatra ny lanitra avaratra ho eny ambonin'ny habakabaka Izy ary manantona ny tany amin'ny tsy misy.

⁸He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

⁸Fonosiny amin'ireo rahony matevina ny rano, nefa ny fanambanin'ny rahona tsy mety triatra.

⁹He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.

⁹Manakona ny seza fiandrianany tsy ho hitantsika Izy amin'ny amelarany ny rahony hanarona azy.

¹⁰He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.

¹⁰Asiany faritra manodidina eny ambonin'ny rano. Hatramin'izay ihaonan'ny mazava sy ny maizina.

¹¹The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.

¹¹Ny andrin'ny lanitra nihozongozona sady ankona amin'ny teny mafy ataony.

¹²He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.

¹²Ny heriny no entiny mampanonja ny ranomasina, ary ny fahendreny no anorotoroany an-dRahaba; [Izahao ix. 13]

¹³By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

¹³Ny fanahiny no mahatsara tarehy ny lanitra; Ny tànany no nitomboka ny menarana mandositra.Indro, ireny dia vao ny sisintsisin'ny alehany ihany aza, ary siosion-teny mamelovelo no andrenesantsika Azy; Fa raha ny fikotrokotroky ny heriny, iza moa no mahatakatra izany?

¹⁴Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?

¹⁴Indro, ireny dia vao ny sisintsisin'ny alehany ihany aza, ary siosion-teny mamelovelo no andrenesantsika Azy; Fa raha ny fikotrokotroky ny heriny, iza moa no mahatakatra izany?
