      U Alla wieġbu: “Oħroġ, u oqgħod fuq il-muntanja quddiem il-Mulej.” U hemm hu, jgħaddi l-Mulej; riħ qawwi, b’saħħa li jofroq il-muntanji u jfarrak il-blat, għadda quddiem il-Mulej; imma l-Mulej ma kienx f’dan ir-riħ. U wara dan ir-riħ theżżet l-art imma l-Mulej ma kienx f’din it-theżżiża.
      New International Version translation: The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake.
