Job 35
1 And Elihu made answer and said,
Ary mbola niteny ihany Eliho ka nanao hoe:
2 Does it seem to you to be right, and righteousness before God, to say,
Ataonao va fa marina ny nanaovanao hoe: Ny fahamarinako mihoatra noho ny an’ Andriamanitra?
3 What profit is it to me, and how am I better off than if I had done wrong?
Fa hoy ianao: Mahasoa ahy manao ahoana moa? Ary inona no soa azoko mihoatra noho ny avy amin’ ny fahotako?
4 I will make answer to you and to your friends:
Izaho no hiteny hamaly anao Mbamin’ ny namanao.
5 Let your eyes be turned to the heavens, and lifted up to see the skies; they are higher than you.
Jereo ary ny lanitra ka izahao; Ary tsinjovy iry habakabaka, avo loatra iny ka tsy takatrao.
6 If you have done wrong, is he any the worse for it? and if your sins are great in number, what is it to him?
Raha manota ianao, moa mahefa inona aminy? Ary raha maro ny fahotanao, mampaninona Azy moa izany?
7 If you are upright, what do you give to him? or what does he take from your hand?
Raha marina ianao, dia hahazoany inona moa izany? Na inona no horaisiny avy amin’ ny tananao?
8 Your evil-doing may have an effect on a man like yourself, or your righteousness on a son of man.
Mihatra amin’ ny olona tahaka anao ihany ny ratsy ataonao; Ary mihatra amin’ ny olombelona ihany ny fahamarinanao.
9 Because the hand of the cruel is hard on them, men are making sounds of grief; they are crying out for help because of the arm of the strong.
Noho ny habiazan’ ny fampahoriana no itarainan’ ny olona; Eny, minananana izy noho ny sandrin’ ny mahery,
10 But no one has said, 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 gives us more knowledge than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the heaven?
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 are crying out because of the pride of the evil-doers, but he gives them no answer.
Eny, mitaraina mafy ireo (fa tsy mamaly Izy) noho ny fireharehan’ ny ratsy fanahy.
13 But God will not give ear to what is false, or the Ruler of all take note of it;
Ny fitarainam-poana dia tsy mba henoin’ Andriamanitra, ary ny Tsitoha tsy mandinika izany.
14 How much less when you say that you do not see him; that the cause is before him, and you are waiting for him.
Na dia lazainao fa tsy mahita azy aza ianao, efa mby eo anatrehany ny ady, koa tsy maintsy miandry Azy ianao.
15 And now ...;
Koa raha saingy tsy mihatra ny fahatezerany, moa dia tsy fantany tsara koa va ny fihaikana?
16 And Job's mouth is open wide to give out what is of no profit, increasing words without knowledge.
Mba miloa-bava foana anefa Joba ary manao teny maro tsy amim-pahalalana.
