Job 35
1 And Elius resumed and said,
Ary mbola niteny ihany Eliho ka nanao hoe:
2 What is this that thou thinkest to be according to right? who art thou that thou hast said, I am righteous before the Lord?
Ataonao va fa marina ny nanaovanao hoe: Ny fahamarinako mihoatra noho ny an’ Andriamanitra?
3 I will answer thee, and thy three friends.
Fa hoy ianao: Mahasoa ahy manao ahoana moa? Ary inona no soa azoko mihoatra noho ny avy amin’ ny fahotako?
4 Look up to the sky and see; and consider the clouds, how high [they are] above thee.
Izaho no hiteny hamaly anao Mbamin’ ny namanao.
5 If thou hast sinned, what wilt thou do?
Jereo ary ny lanitra ka izahao; Ary tsinjovy iry habakabaka, avo loatra iny ka tsy takatrao.
6 and if too thou hast transgressed much, what canst thou perform?
Raha manota ianao, moa mahefa inona aminy? Ary raha maro ny fahotanao, mampaninona Azy moa izany?
7 And suppose thou art righteous, what wilt thou give him? or what shall he receive of thy hand?
Raha marina ianao, dia hahazoany inona moa izany? Na inona no horaisiny avy amin’ ny tananao?
8 Thy ungodliness [may affect] a man who is like to thee; or thy righteousness a son of man.
Mihatra amin’ ny olona tahaka anao ihany ny ratsy ataonao; Ary mihatra amin’ ny olombelona ihany ny fahamarinanao.
9 They that are oppressed of a multitude will be ready to cry out; they will call for help because of the arm of many.
Noho ny habiazan’ ny fampahoriana no itarainan’ ny olona; Eny, minananana izy noho ny sandrin’ ny mahery,
10 But none said, Where is God that made me, who appoints the night-watches;
Nefa tsy misy manao hoe: Aiza Andriamanitra, Mpanao ahy, Izay mahatonga fiderana amin’ ny alina,
11 who makes me to differ from the four-footed beasts of the earth, and from the birds of the sky?
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 shall cry, and none shall hearken, even because of the insolence of wicked men.
Eny, mitaraina mafy ireo (fa tsy mamaly Izy) noho ny fireharehan’ ny ratsy fanahy.
13 For the Lord desires not to look on error, for he is the Almighty One.
Ny fitarainam-poana dia tsy mba henoin’ Andriamanitra, ary ny Tsitoha tsy mandinika izany.
14 He beholds them that perform lawless deeds, and he will save me: and do thou plead before him, if thou canst praise him, as it is [possible] even now.
Na dia lazainao fa tsy mahita azy aza ianao, efa mby eo anatrehany ny ady, koa tsy maintsy miandry Azy ianao.
15 For he is not [now] regarding his wrath, nor has he noticed severely any trespass.
Koa raha saingy tsy mihatra ny fahatezerany, moa dia tsy fantany tsara koa va ny fihaikana?
16 Yet Job vainly opens his mouth, in ignorance he multiplies words.
Mba miloa-bava foana anefa Joba ary manao teny maro tsy amim-pahalalana.
