Job 11
1 Then Zophar, from [the] Naamah [area], said this to Job:
Dia namaly Zofara Namatita ka nanao hoe:
2 “(Should no one answer all that you have said?/Someone should certainly answer all that you have said.) [RHQ] Just because you talk a lot, (should that cause us to declare that you (are innocent/have done nothing wrong)?/that should not cause us to declare that you (are innocent/have done nothing wrong).) [RHQ]
Moa tsy hovaliana va ny teny be toy izany? Ary moa raha maro vava, dia ho marina va?
3 Job, (should your babbling cause us to be silent?/your babbling should certainly not cause us to be silent.) [RHQ] When you make fun of us, shall no one [rebuke you and] cause you to be ashamed?
Ny bedibedinao va no hampangina ny olona? Ka dia haniratsira ianao, ka tsy hisy handresy lahatra,
4 You say, ‘What I say is true; God knows that I am (innocent/without guilt).’
Ary dia hiteny hoe: Madio ny teny nalahatro, ary tsy nanan-tsiny teo imasonao aho.
5 But I wish/desire that God would talk and say something [MTY] to answer you!
Enga anie ka hiteny Andriamanitra ka hiloa-bava hamaly anao!
6 God knows everything about everything, so I wish/desire that he would tell you the secrets that he knows because he is wise. But you need to know that God is punishing you less than you deserve!
Dia hasehony aminao ny fahendrena miafina, fa tsy hita lany izany, ka dia ho fantatrao fa tsy dia novalian’ Andriamanitra avokoa ny helokao.
7 [“Tell me], will you ever be able to find out the things about God that are very difficult to understand? Will you be able to find out everything that there is to know about Almighty God?
Takatry ny sainao va ny fomban’ Andriamanitra? Ary tanteraka va ny fahitanao ny Tsitoha
8 [What there is to know about God] is greater than [the distance from earth to] heaven; so there is no way [RHQ] that you can [understand it all]. It is greater than [the distance from here to] the place of the dead; so it is impossible for you [RHQ] to know it all. (Sheol h7585)
Avo tahaka ny lanitra izany! ka inona no hainao atao? Lalina noho ny fiainan-tsi-hita! ka inona no fantatrao? (Sheol h7585)
9 What there is to know about God is wider than the earth and wider than the ocean.
Lava noho ny tany ny ohany ary lehibe noho ny ranomasina.
10 “If God comes to you and puts you in prison and then brings you to a court, (who can stop him?/no one can stop him.) [RHQ]
Raha mandroso Izy ka misambotra ary manao fitsarana, dia iza moa no mahasakana Azy?
11 He knows which people are worthless; and when he sees people doing wicked things, (will he ignore it?/he will certainly not ignore it!) [RHQ]
Fa Izy mahafantatra ny olon-dratsy; Ary hitany ny heloka, na dia tsy mandinika akory aza Izy.
12 Stupid people [like you] will start to become wise [SAR] when wild donkeys [stop giving birth to wild donkeys and] start giving birth to tame donkeys.
Koa na dia ny olom-poana aza dia hahazo fahendrena, ary na dia ny zanaky ny boriki-dia aza dia hateraka ho olombelona.
13 “Job, repent [IDM]; reach out your hands to seek God’s help.
Raha ampanatrehinao Azy ny fonao, ary atantinao aminy ny tananao,
14 If you have done evil things, stop doing them; and do not allow any people in your house to do wicked things.
Ka misy heloka eo an-tananao, dia ario lavitra izany, ary aza avela hisy ratsy hitoetra ao an-dainao;
15 If you do what I have said, surely you will lift up your head because you will not be ashamed; you will be strong, and not afraid [of anything].
Dia hahazo hanandratra ny tavanao tsy misy tsiny ianao, koa hijoro tsara ary tsy hatahotra;
16 You will forget all your troubles; they will be like [the] water [of a flood] that has all disappeared.
Fa ho hadinonao ny fahorianao: Toy ny rano efa nandalo no hahatsiarovanao azy.
17 [Your troubles will be ended, like the darkness ends] at the dawn; [it will be as though] [MET] the sun is shining brightly on you, like [it shines] at noon.
Ary hamirapiratra lavitra noho ny mitataovovonana ny andronao; na dia sendra manjombona aza, dia ho tonga tahaka ny maraina.
18 You will feel safe/secure, because you will confidently expect [that good things will happen to you]; God will protect you and enable you to rest safely [each night].
Hatoky ianao, satria misy fanantenana; eny, hijery manodidina ianao ka handry tsy amin’ ahiahy.
19 You will lie down, and no one will cause you to be afraid. And many people will come and request you to do things for them.
Dia ho tafandry ianao, fa tsy hisy hanaitaitra; Ary maro no hila sitraka aminao.
20 But wicked people [SYN] will not be able to understand [why bad things are happening to them]; they will not have any way to escape [from their troubles]. The only thing that they will want to do is to die. [EUP]”
Fa ny mason’ ny ratsy fanahy kosa ho pahina, ka ho very avokoa ny fiarovana azy, ary ny fialàna aina ihany no hany sisa azony antenaina.
