Job 35
1 Moreover Elihu answered, and said,
Ary mbola niteny ihany Eliho ka nanao hoe:
2 What is this thou think in judgment? Who are thou that thou said, I am righteousness before the Lord?
Ataonao va fa marina ny nanaovanao hoe: Ny fahamarinako mihoatra noho ny an’ Andriamanitra?
3 That thou said, What advantage will it be to thee? And, What profit shall I have more than if I had sinned?
Fa hoy ianao: Mahasoa ahy manao ahoana moa? Ary inona no soa azoko mihoatra noho ny avy amin’ ny fahotako?
4 I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
Izaho no hiteny hamaly anao Mbamin’ ny namanao.
5 Look to the heavens, and see. And behold the skies, which are higher than thou.
Jereo ary ny lanitra ka izahao; Ary tsinjovy iry habakabaka, avo loatra iny ka tsy takatrao.
6 If thou have sinned, what do thou effect against him? And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what do thou to him?
Raha manota ianao, moa mahefa inona aminy? Ary raha maro ny fahotanao, mampaninona Azy moa izany?
7 If thou be righteous, what do thou give him? Or what does he receive of thy hand?
Raha marina ianao, dia hahazoany inona moa izany? Na inona no horaisiny avy amin’ ny tananao?
8 Thy wickedness is a man as thou are, and thy righteousness is a son of man.
Mihatra amin’ ny olona tahaka anao ihany ny ratsy ataonao; Ary mihatra amin’ ny olombelona ihany ny fahamarinanao.
9 Because of the multitude of oppressions they cry out. They cry for help because of the arm of the mighty.
Noho ny habiazan’ ny fampahoriana no itarainan’ ny olona; Eny, minananana izy noho ny sandrin’ ny mahery,
10 But none says, Where is God my maker who gives songs in the night,
Nefa tsy misy manao hoe: Aiza Andriamanitra, Mpanao ahy, Izay mahatonga fiderana amin’ ny alina,
11 who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?
Izay manome fahalalana antsika mihoatra noho ny an’ ny biby ambonin’ ny tany, dia Izay manome fahendrena antsika mihoatra noho ny an’ ny voro-manidina?
12 There they cry, but none gives answer, because of the pride of evil men.
Eny, mitaraina mafy ireo (fa tsy mamaly Izy) noho ny fireharehan’ ny ratsy fanahy.
13 Surely God will not hear an empty cry, nor will the Almighty regard it.
Ny fitarainam-poana dia tsy mba henoin’ Andriamanitra, ary ny Tsitoha tsy mandinika izany.
14 How much less when thou say thou do not behold him. The case is before him, and thou wait for him!
Na dia lazainao fa tsy mahita azy aza ianao, efa mby eo anatrehany ny ady, koa tsy maintsy miandry Azy ianao.
15 But now, because he has not visited in his anger, nor does he greatly regard folly,
Koa raha saingy tsy mihatra ny fahatezerany, moa dia tsy fantany tsara koa va ny fihaikana?
16 so Job opens his mouth in vanity. He multiplies words without knowledge.
Mba miloa-bava foana anefa Joba ary manao teny maro tsy amim-pahalalana.
