Job 16
1 And Job made answer and said,
Dia namaly Joba ka nanao hoe:
2 Such things have frequently come to my ears: you are comforters who only give trouble.
Efa nandre zavatra maro toy izany aho; Mpampionona mahasorisorena foana ianareo rehetra.
3 May words which are like the wind be stopped? or what is troubling you to make answer to them?
Efa tapitra va izay ny bedibedy foana? Sa mbola misy manesika anao hamaly ahy ihany?
4 It would not be hard for me to say such things if your souls were in my soul's place; joining words together against you, and shaking my head at you:
Izaho kosa mba mahazo miteny tahaka anareo, raha mba tonga tahaka ahy ianareo; eny, mahazo manamboatra teny ho enti-mamely anareo aho ary mahazo mihifikifi-doha aminareo;
5 I might give you strength with my mouth, and not keep back the comfort of my lips.
Mahazo mampahery anareo amin’ ny Vavako aho, ary mahazo mampitony ny alahelonareo ny fampiononana ataon’ ny molotro.
6 If I say what is in my mind, my pain becomes no less: and if I keep quiet, how much of it goes from me?
Na dia miteny aza aho, dia tsy mitsahatra ny alaheloko; Ary na dia mangìna aza aho, dia tsy misy mihena izany.
7 But now he has overcome me with weariness and fear, and I am in the grip of all my trouble.
Fa ankehitriny efa nandreraka ahy Izy; Naringanao ny ankohonako rehetra.
8 It has come up as a witness against me, and the wasting of my flesh makes answer to my face.
Ary efa nampifezaka ny tenako Hianao, ka dia vavolombelona amiko izany. Ary mitsangana hiampanga ahy ny fahahiazako, ka dia tondromaso akaiky izany.
9 I am broken by his wrath, and his hate has gone after me; he has made his teeth sharp against me: my haters are looking on me with cruel eyes;
Amin’ ny fahatezerany no amiravirany sy andrafiany ahy, mihidy vazana amiko Izy; Eny, miseho ho fahavaloko Izy ka mampivandravandra ny masony amiko;
10 Their mouths are open wide against me; the blows of his bitter words are falling on my face; all of them come together in a mass against me.
Nisanasana vava tamiko ny olona; Latsa no nentiny namely ny takolako; Mitambatra hamely ahy izy.
11 God gives me over to the power of sinners, sending me violently into the hands of evil-doers.
Efa voatolotr’ Andriamanitra ho amin’ ny ratsy fanahy aho, ary natsipiny ho eo an-tànan’ ny mpanota.
12 I was in comfort, but I have been broken up by his hands; he has taken me by the neck, shaking me to bits; he has put me up as a mark for his arrows.
Tamin’ ilay izaho tsy nanana ahiahy iny, dia nanorotoro ahy Izy; Nosamboriny tamin’ ny hatoko aho ka nomontsaniny, sady natsangany ho marika hokendreny.
13 His bowmen come round about me; their arrows go through my body without mercy; my life is drained out on the earth.
Manodidina ahy ny mpandefa zana-tsipìkany; Mamaky ny voako Izy ka tsy miantra ary manidina ny aferoko ho amin’ ny tany.
14 I am broken with wound after wound; he comes rushing on me like a man of war.
Bangabangainy lalandava aho, ka miroatra hamely ahy tahaka ny lehilahy mahery Izy.
15 I have made haircloth the clothing of my skin, and my horn is rolled in the dust.
Lamba fisaonana no voazaitrako hanarona ny hoditro, ary nalàko baraka tamin’ ny vovoka ny tandroko.
16 My face is red with weeping, and my eyes are becoming dark;
Ny tavako tera-menan’ ny fitomaniana, ary eo amin’ ny hodi-masoko ny aloky ny fahafatesana;
17 Though my hands have done no violent acts, and my prayer is clean.
Kanefa tsy misy eto an-tanako izay mba nalaina an-keriny; Ary madio ny fivavako.
18 O earth, let not my blood be covered, and let my cry have no resting-place!
Ry tany ô, aza manarona ny rako, ary aoka tsy ho voahazona ny fitarainako!
19 Even now my witness is in heaven, and the supporter of my cause is on high.
Fa na dia ankehitriny aza, indro, any an-danitra ny Vavolombeloko, eny, ny Vavolombeloko dia any amin’ ny avo.
20 My friends make sport of me; to God my eyes are weeping,
Na dia mihomehy ahy aza ny sakaizako, dia mamarin-dranomaso eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra kosa aho,
21 So that he may give decision for a man in his cause with God, and between a son of man and his neighbour.
Mba hanamarina ahy olombelona eo anatrehany Izy sy hanafa-tsiny ahy zanak’ olombelona amin’ ny sakaizako.
22 For in a short time I will take the journey from which I will not come back.
Fa rehefa lasa ny taona vitsy, dia handeha any amin’ ny lalana izay tsy hiverenako intsony aho.
