Job 35
1 Elihu spoke moreover, and said,
Ary mbola niteny ihany Eliho ka nanao hoe:
2 Think you this to be right, that you said, My righteousness is more than God's?
Ataonao va fa marina ny nanaovanao hoe: Ny fahamarinako mihoatra noho ny an’ Andriamanitra?
3 For you said, What advantage will it be unto you? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?
Fa hoy ianao: Mahasoa ahy manao ahoana moa? Ary inona no soa azoko mihoatra noho ny avy amin’ ny fahotako?
4 I will answer you, and your companions with you.
Izaho no hiteny hamaly anao Mbamin’ ny namanao.
5 Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than you.
Jereo ary ny lanitra ka izahao; Ary tsinjovy iry habakabaka, avo loatra iny ka tsy takatrao.
6 If you sin, what do you against him? or if your transgressions be multiplied, what do you unto him?
Raha manota ianao, moa mahefa inona aminy? Ary raha maro ny fahotanao, mampaninona Azy moa izany?
7 If you be righteous, what give you him? or what receives he of your hand?
Raha marina ianao, dia hahazoany inona moa izany? Na inona no horaisiny avy amin’ ny tananao?
8 Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are; and your righteousness may profit the son of man.
Mihatra amin’ ny olona tahaka anao ihany ny ratsy ataonao; Ary mihatra amin’ ny olombelona ihany ny fahamarinanao.
9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason 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 fowls of 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 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 vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
Ny fitarainam-poana dia tsy mba henoin’ Andriamanitra, ary ny Tsitoha tsy mandinika izany.
14 Although you say you shall not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust you in 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 it is not so, he has visited in his anger; yet he knows it not in great extremity:
Koa raha saingy tsy mihatra ny fahatezerany, moa dia tsy fantany tsara koa va ny fihaikana?
16 Therefore does Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplies words without knowledge.
Mba miloa-bava foana anefa Joba ary manao teny maro tsy amim-pahalalana.
