Joba 34
1 Ary mbola niteny ihany Eliho ka nanao hoe:
Furthermore Elihu answered and said,
2 Mandrenesa ny teniko, ianareo olon-kendry; Ary mihainoa ahy, ianareo manam-pahalalana.
Hear my words, O you wise men; and give ear to me, you that have knowledge.
3 Fa ny sofina no mamantatra teny, Ary ny vava no manandrana hanina.
For the ear tries words, as the mouth tastes meat.
4 Koa aoka izay rariny no hodinihintsika, ary aoka hiara-mamantatra izay tsara isika.
Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
5 Fa Joba efa nanao hoe: Marina aho, saingy nesorin’ Andriamanitra tamiko ny rariny;
For Job has said, I am righteous: and God has taken away my judgment.
6 Marina ny ahy, nefa ampandaingainy aho; Mahafaty ny zana-tsipìka mitsatoka amiko, na dia tsy manam-pahadisoana aza aho.
Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression.
7 Aiza moa no misy lehilahy tahaka an’ i Joba, izay manaram-po amin’ ny famingavingana toy ny fisotro rano.
What man is like Job, who drinks up scorning like water?
8 Ary tonga naman’ ny mpanao ratsy sady miara-mandeha amin’ ny ratsy fanahy?
Which goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked men.
9 Fa hoy izy: Tsy mahasoa ny olona ny mihavana amin’ Andriamanitra.
For he has said, It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.
10 Koa amin’ izany mihainoa ahy, ianareo manam-panahy: Lavitra an’ Andriamanitra ny hanao ratsy! Ary lavitra ny Tsitoha ny hanao meloka!
Therefore listen to me you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
11 Fa ny nataon’ ny olona ihany no ampanodiaviny azy, ka mamaly ny olona rehetra araka ny lalany avy Izy.
For the work of a man shall he render to him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
12 Eny tokoa, Andriamanitra tsy manao ratsy mihitsy, ary ny Tsitoha tsy mba mamadika ny rariny.
Yes, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
13 Iza moa no nanendry Azy ho Mpiadidy ny tany? Ary iza no nanorina izao tontolo izao?
Who has given him a charge over the earth? or who has disposed the whole world?
14 Raha tàhiny ny tenany ihany no heveriny, ka hangoniny ho ao aminy ny fanahiny sy ny fofonainy,
If he set his heart on man, if he gather to himself his spirit and his breath;
15 Dia hiala avokoa ny ain’ ny nofo rehetra, ary hiverina amin’ ny vovoka ny olona.
All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again to dust.
16 Raha manam-pahalalana ianao, dia mandrenesa izao, ka mihainoa ny teniko
If now you have understanding, hear this: listen to the voice of my words.
17 Moa mahay mifehy va izay tsy tia rariny? Ary Ilay marina sady mahery va no hohelohinao?
Shall even he that hates right govern? and will you condemn him that is most just?
18 (Mety va ny miteny amin’ ny mpanjaka hoe: Olom-poana ianao! Ary amin’ ny zanak’ andriana: Ry ilay ratsy!),
Is it fit to say to a king, You are wicked? and to princes, You are ungodly?
19 Dia Ilay tsy mizaha ny tavan’ ny lehibe, ary tsy manaja ny ambony mihoatra noho ny ambany, satria samy asan’ ny tànany avokoa izy rehetra.
How much less to him that accepts not the persons of princes, nor regards the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.
20 Maty amin’ ny indray mipi-maso monja amin’ ny mamatonalina ireny; Eny, ringana ny olona ka tsy ao intsony; Ary ny mahery dia lasa tsy esorin-tanana.
In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
21 Fa ny mason’ Andriamanitra dia mijery ny alehan’ ny olona, ary mahita ny diany rehetra Izy.
For his eyes are on the ways of man, and he sees all his goings.
22 Tsy misy aizina na alim-pito, Izay hieren’ ny mpanao ratsy.
There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
23 Fa Andriamanitra tsy mba miandry aloha vao mandinika ny olona Izay tonga hotsaraina eo anatrehany.
For he will not lay on man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.
24 Manorotoro ny olona mahery Izy, na dia tsy manadina aza, ka manangana olon-kafa hisolo azy.
He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.
25 Koa hita amin’ izany fa fantany ny asan’ ireo, ka dia mamono azy amin’ ny alina ho torotoro Izy.
Therefore he knows their works, and he overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
26 Tehafiny tanana tahaka ny fanao amin’ ny ratsy fanahy ireo eo imason’ ny vahoaka.
He strikes them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
27 Izao no nialan’ ireo tamin’ Andriamanitra ka tsy nitandremany ny lalany akory,
Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:
28 Dia ny mba hahatonga ny fitarainan’ ny malahelo eo anatrehany ka hampandre Azy ny fitarainan’ ny ory.
So that they cause the cry of the poor to come to him, and he hears the cry of the afflicted.
29 Mangìna Izy, ka iza no mahay manameloka? Ary manafin-tava Izy (ka iza no mahajery Azy?), na amin’ ny firenena, na amin’ ny olona tsirairay,
When he gives quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hides his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:
30 Mba tsy hanjakan’ ny ratsy fanahy, ary tsy ho voafandrika ny vahoaka.
That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.
31 Fa moa mba efa nisy niteny tamin’ Andriamanitra va nanao hoe: Efa nanandra-tena aho ka tsy hanao ratsy intsony;
Surely it is meet to be said to God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:
32 Izay tsy hitako mba ampianaro ahy; Raha nanao ratsy aho, dia tsy hanao intsony?
That which I see not teach you me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
33 Moa araka ny hevitrao va no hamaliany ny ataon’ ny olona, no efa nandà ianao? Fa ianao no mifidy, fa tsy izaho, koa izay fantatrao no ambarao.
Should it be according to your mind? he will recompense it, whether you refuse, or whether you choose; and not I: therefore speak what you know.
34 Ny olona manam-panahy hilaza amiko, ary ny olon-kendry izay mihaino ahy hanao hoe:
Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man listen to me.
35 Miteny tsy amim-pahalalana Joba, ary ny teniny tsy amim-pahendrena.
Job has spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.
36 Enga anie ka hizahan-toetra mandrakariva Joba noho ny famaliana ataony araka ny fanaon’ ny ratsy fanahy!
My desire is that Job may be tried to the end because of his answers for wicked men.
37 Fa ampiany fihaikana koa ny fahotany; Miteha-tanana eto amintsika izy ka manao teny maro ho enti-miady amin’ Andriamanitra.
For he adds rebellion to his sin, he claps his hands among us, and multiplies his words against God.
