< Job 24 >

1 "Why aren't times made known by Shaddai? Why do not those who know him see his days?
Nahoana no tsy misy fotoan’ andro voatendrin’ ny Tsitoha, ary nahoana no tsy hitan’ ny mahalala Azy izany androny Izany?
2 There are people who remove the landmarks. They violently take away flocks, and feed them.
Misy mamindra fari-tany sy mangalatra omby aman’ ondry sady miandry azy.
3 They drive away the donkey of the fatherless, and they take the widow's ox for a pledge.
Mandroaka ny borikin’ ny kamboty izy, ary maka ny ombin’ ny mpitondratena ho tsatòka.
4 They turn the needy out of the way. The poor of the earth all hide themselves.
Manosika ny mahantra hiala amin’ ny lalana izy, ka dia miery azy avokoa ny malahelo amin’ ny tany.
5 Look, as wild donkeys in the desert, they go forth to their work, seeking diligently for food. The wilderness yields them bread for their children.
Indro, tahaka ny fivoaky ny boriki-dia any an-efitra no fivoak’ ireny ho amin’ ny asany hiremby; Ny tani-hay no ahazoany hanina ho an’ ny zanany.
6 They cut their provender in the field. They glean the vineyard of the wicked.
Any an-tsaha izy maka vilona sy mitsimpontsimpona ny voaloboky ny ratsy fanahy.
7 They lie all night naked without clothing, and have no covering in the cold.
Mandry mitanjaka amin’ ny alina izy, satria tsy manan-damba, ka dia tsy manana firakotra amin’ ny hatsiaka;
8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for lack of a shelter.
Kotsan’ ny ranonoram-baratra any an-tendrombohitra izy, ka mitampisaka amin’ ny vatolampy, fa tsy manam-pialofana.
9 There are those who pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor,
Misarika ny kamboty eo am-pinonoana izy ary maka tsatòka amin’ ny ory.
10 So that they go around naked without clothing. Being hungry, they carry the sheaves.
Mandeha mitsaitsaika ireo, fa mitanjaka tsy manan-kitafy, ary noana eo am-pitondrana ny amboaram-bary.
11 They make oil within the walls of these men. They tread wine presses, and suffer thirst.
Manao diloilo eo anatin’ ny tambohon’ ny mpampahory azy izy; Ary manosihosy ny famiazam-boaloboka izy, nefa mangetaheta ihany.
12 From out of the populous city, men groan. The soul of the wounded cries out, yet God doesn't regard the folly.
Mitrona ny lehilahy ao an-tanana, ary mitaraina ny fanahin’ ny voalefona; Nefa tsy ahoan’ Andriamanitra akory ny ratsy atao.
13 "These are of those who rebel against the light. They do not know its ways, nor abide in its paths.
Ireny no mpikomy amin’ ny mazava; Tsy mba mihevitra ny lalany izy, na mitoetra eo amin’ ny alehany.
14 The murderer rises with the light. He kills the poor and needy. In the night he is like a thief.
Raha vao mangiran-dratsy, dia mifoha ny mpamono olona; Mamono ny ory sy ny malahelo izy, ary nony alina, dia tahaka ny mpangalatra.
15 The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, 'No eye shall see me.' He disguises his face.
Ny mason’ ny mpijangajanga miandry ny maizimaizina, ka hoy izy: Tsy misy hahalala ahy ka dia manao very maso izy.
16 In the dark they dig through houses. They shut themselves up in the daytime. They do not know the light.
Misy manamy trano nony maizina; Nefa nony antoandro dia miery izy; Tsy mahalala ny mazava izy;
17 For the morning is to all of them like thick darkness, for they know the terrors of the thick darkness.
Fa ny aizim-pito no marainan’ ireo rehetra ireo; Satria efa mahazatra azy ny fampahatahoran’ ny aizim-pito izy.
18 "They are foam on the surface of the waters. Their portion is cursed in the earth. They do not turn into the way of the vineyards.
Mitsinkafona paohin’ ny rano izy; Voaozona ny anjarany eo amin’ ny tany; Tsy mivily ho amin’ ny lalana mankeny amin’ ny tanim-boaloboka izy.
19 Drought and heat consume the snow waters, so does Sheol those who have sinned. (Sheol h7585)
Toy ny andevonan’ ny maina sy ny mafana ny ranom-panala no andevonan’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita ny mpanota. (Sheol h7585)
20 The womb shall forget him. The worm shall feed sweetly on him. He shall be no more remembered. Unrighteousness shall be broken as a tree.
Manadino azy ny vohoka; manjary hanim-py ho an’ ny olitra izy ka tsy tsarovana intsony; Ary tapaka tahaka ny hazo ny ratsy fanahy,
21 He devours the barren who do not bear. He shows no kindness to the widow.
Dia ilay nandroba ny momba izay tsy niteraka ary tsy nanisy soa ny mpitondratena.
22 Yet he preserves the mighty by his power. He rises up who has no assurance of life.
Kanefa halavain’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny heriny ny andron’ ny olo-mahery; Mitsangana indray ireo, na dia tsy nanampo izay ho velona intsony aza.
23 He gives them security, and they rest in it. His eyes are on their ways.
Ataony mandry fahizay sy tsara tohana izy, sady tsinjoviny mandrakariva ny lalany.
24 They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone. Yes, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all others, and are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.
Nasandratra izy, kanjo vetivety dia tsy ao intsony, dia mihalevona izy ka otazana tahaka ny olona rehetra, ary tangosana tahaka ny salohim-bary.
25 If it isn't so now, who will prove me a liar, and make my speech worth nothing?"
Raha tsy izany, dia aoka hisy hamaky lainga ahy ka hampiseho ny teniko ho tsinontsinona.
