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

¹And Job answereth and saith: —

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

²What — thou hast helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!

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

³What — thou hast given counsel to the unwise, And wise plans in abundance made known.

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

⁴With whom hast thou declared words? And whose breath came forth from thee?

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

⁵The Rephaim are formed, Beneath the waters, also their inhabitants.

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

⁶Naked [is] Sheol over-against Him, And there is no covering to destruction.

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

⁷Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth upon nothing,

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

⁸Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not rent under them.

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

⁹Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading over it His cloud.

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

¹⁰A limit He hath placed on the waters, Unto the boundary of light with darkness.

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

¹¹Pillars of the heavens do tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.

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

¹²By His power He hath quieted the sea, And by His understanding smitten the proud.

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?

¹³By His Spirit the heavens He beautified, Formed hath His hand the fleeing serpent.

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?

¹⁴Lo, these [are] the borders of His way, And how little a matter is heard of Him, And the thunder of His might Who doth understand?
