Siope 35

1 Pea naʻe fai pe ʻe Elihu ʻa ʻene lea, ʻo ne pehē,

Ary mbola niteny ihany Eliho ka nanao hoe:

2 “ʻOku ke mahalo ʻoku totonu eni, ʻa hoʻo lea ʻo pehē, ‘Ko ʻeku māʻoniʻoni ʻoku lahi ki he ʻOtua?’

Ataonao va fa marina ny nanaovanao hoe: Ny fahamarinako mihoatra noho ny an’ Andriamanitra?

3 He naʻa ke pehē, ‘Ko e hā hono ʻaonga kiate koe? Pea ko e hā ʻae totongi te u maʻu [ʻo kapau ʻe fakamaʻa ]au mei heʻeku angahala?’

Fa hoy ianao: Mahasoa ahy manao ahoana moa? Ary inona no soa azoko mihoatra noho ny avy amin’ ny fahotako?

4 Te u tala kiate koe, mo kinautolu ʻoku kaumeʻa mo koe.

Izaho no hiteny hamaly anao Mbamin’ ny namanao.

5 Sio ki he ngaahi langi, ʻo mamata; pea vakai ki he ngaahi ʻao ʻaia ʻoku māʻolunga hake ʻiate koe.

Jereo ary ny lanitra ka izahao; Ary tsinjovy iry habakabaka, avo loatra iny ka tsy takatrao.

6 Kapau ʻoku ke fai angahala, ko e hā ʻoku ke fai kiate ia? Pea kapau kuo tupu ʻo lahi ʻa hoʻo talangataʻa, ko e hā ʻoku ke fai kiate ia?

Raha manota ianao, moa mahefa inona aminy? Ary raha maro ny fahotanao, mampaninona Azy moa izany?

7 Kapau ʻoku ke māʻoniʻoni, ko e hā ʻoku ke foaki kiate ia? Pe ko e hā ia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻi ho nima?

Raha marina ianao, dia hahazoany inona moa izany? Na inona no horaisiny avy amin’ ny tananao?

8 ‌ʻE kovi nai hoʻo angahala ki he tangata ʻo hangē ko koe; pea ʻe ʻaonga nai hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ki he foha ʻoe tangata.

Mihatra amin’ ny olona tahaka anao ihany ny ratsy ataonao; Ary mihatra amin’ ny olombelona ihany ny fahamarinanao.

9 “Ko e meʻa ʻi he lahi ʻoe ngaahi meʻa fakamālohi ʻoku tangi ai ʻae kau fakamālohia, ʻoku nau tangi kalanga ʻi he nima ʻoe mālohi.

Noho ny habiazan’ ny fampahoriana no itarainan’ ny olona; Eny, minananana izy noho ny sandrin’ ny mahery,

10 Ka ʻoku ʻikai pehē ʻe ha taha, ‘Kofaʻā ia ʻae ʻOtua ko hoku tupuʻanga, ʻaia ʻoku ne foaki ʻae ngaahi hiva ʻi he pō;

Nefa tsy misy manao hoe: Aiza Andriamanitra, Mpanao ahy, Izay mahatonga fiderana amin’ ny alina,

11 ‌ʻAia ʻoku ako lahi hake kiate kitautolu ʻi he ngaahi manu ʻoe fonua, ʻo ne fakapoto lahi hake ʻakitautolu ʻi he ngaahi manupuna ʻoe ʻatā?’

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 ‌ʻOku nau tangi ʻi ai, ka ʻoku ʻikai lea ha tokotaha, ko e meʻa ʻi he laukau ʻae kau tangata kovi.

Eny, mitaraina mafy ireo (fa tsy mamaly Izy) noho ny fireharehan’ ny ratsy fanahy.

13 Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai fanongo ʻae ʻOtua ki he launoa, pea ʻe ʻikai tokanga ki ai ʻae Māfimafi.

Ny fitarainam-poana dia tsy mba henoin’ Andriamanitra, ary ny Tsitoha tsy mandinika izany.

14 Naʻa ke lea, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai te ke mamata kiate ia, ka ʻoku ʻi hono ʻao ʻae fakamaau, ko ia ke ke falala kiate ia.

Na dia lazainao fa tsy mahita azy aza ianao, efa mby eo anatrehany ny ady, koa tsy maintsy miandry Azy ianao.

15 Ka koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai pehē eni, ko ia kuo ne ʻaʻahi ai ʻi hono houhau; ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo ia ʻi he mamahi lahi:

Koa raha saingy tsy mihatra ny fahatezerany, moa dia tsy fantany tsara koa va ny fihaikana?

16 Ko ia ʻoku mafaʻa taʻeʻaonga ai ʻae ngutu ʻo Siope; ʻoku ne fakalahi ʻae ngaahi lea ʻi he taʻeʻilo.

Mba miloa-bava foana anefa Joba ary manao teny maro tsy amim-pahalalana.
