Job 35
1 Moreover Elihu proceeded, and said:
Ary mbola niteny ihany Eliho ka nanao hoe:
2 Dost thou then think this to be right? Thou hast said, “I am more righteous than God.”
Ataonao va fa marina ny nanaovanao hoe: Ny fahamarinako mihoatra noho ny an’ Andriamanitra?
3 For thou askest, “What advantage have I? What have I gained, 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 up to the heavens, and see! And behold the clouds, which are high above thee!
Jereo ary ny lanitra ka izahao; Ary tsinjovy iry habakabaka, avo loatra iny ka tsy takatrao.
6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against Him? If thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou to him?
Raha manota ianao, moa mahefa inona aminy? Ary raha maro ny fahotanao, mampaninona Azy moa izany?
7 If thou art righteous, what dost thou give him? Or what receiveth he at thy hand?
Raha marina ianao, dia hahazoany inona moa izany? Na inona no horaisiny avy amin’ ny tananao?
8 Thy wickedness injureth only a man like thyself, And thy righteousness profiteth only a son of man.
Mihatra amin’ ny olona tahaka anao ihany ny ratsy ataonao; Ary mihatra amin’ ny olombelona ihany ny fahamarinanao.
9 The oppressed cry out on account of the multitude of wrongs; They cry aloud on account 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 saith, “Where is God, my Maker, Who giveth songs in the night;
Nefa tsy misy manao hoe: Aiza Andriamanitra, Mpanao ahy, Izay mahatonga fiderana amin’ ny alina,
11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, And maketh us wiser than the birds 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 aloud on account of the pride of the wicked; But he giveth no answer.
Eny, mitaraina mafy ireo (fa tsy mamaly Izy) noho ny fireharehan’ ny ratsy fanahy.
13 For God will not hear the vain supplication, Nor will the Almighty regard it;
Ny fitarainam-poana dia tsy mba henoin’ Andriamanitra, ary ny Tsitoha tsy mandinika izany.
14 Much less when thou sayest thou canst not see him: Justice is with him, —only wait thou 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 hath not visited in his anger, Nor taken strict note of transgression,
Koa raha saingy tsy mihatra ny fahatezerany, moa dia tsy fantany tsara koa va ny fihaikana?
16 Therefore hath Job opened his mouth rashly, And multiplied words without knowledge.
Mba miloa-bava foana anefa Joba ary manao teny maro tsy amim-pahalalana.
