Job 5
1 Give now a cry for help; is there anyone who will give you an answer? and to which of the holy ones will you make your prayer?
Miantsoa ange! moa misy hamaly anao va? Ary iza amin’ ireo masìna no hotodihinao?
2 For wrath is the cause of death to the foolish, and he who has no wisdom comes to his end through passion.
Fa ny adala dia vonoin’ ny fahasosorana, ary ny kely saina dia matin’ ny fialonana.
3 I have seen the foolish taking root, but suddenly the curse came on his house.
Izaho nahita olona adala mamaka, nefa vetivety Indray dia tsy maintsy nanozona ny fonenany aho;
4 Now his children have no safe place, and they are crushed before the judges, for no one takes up their cause.
Lavitra ny famonjena ny zanany Ka torotoro eo am-bavahady, nefa tsy manan-kamonjy;
5 Their produce is taken by him who has no food, and their grain goes to the poor, and he who is in need of water gets it from their spring.
Ny vokatry ny taniny dia lanin’ ny noana, eny, alainy na dia voafefy tsilo aza; ary ny fandrika mitanatana vava hahazo ny fananany
6 For evil does not come out of the dust, or trouble out of the earth;
Fa tsy mivoaka avy amin’ ny vovoka ny alahelo, ary tsy mitrebona avy amin’ ny tany ny fahoriana,
7 But trouble is man's fate from birth, as the flames go up from the fire.
Nefa teraka ho amin’ ny fahoriana ny olombelona, dia tahaka ny fanidin’ ny kilalaon’ afo miakatra
8 But as for me, I would make my prayer to God, and I would put my cause before him:
Fa raha toa ahy kosa dia hitady an’ Andriamanitra aho, ary Andriamanitra ihany no hotolorako ny teniko,
9 Who does great things outside our knowledge, wonders without number:
Dia Izay manao zava-dehibe tsy takatry ny saina sy zava-mahagaga tsy hita isa,
10 Who gives rain on the earth, and sends water on the fields:
Dia Izay mampilatsaka ranonorana etỳ ambonin’ ny tany ary mampandeha rano eny amin’ ny saha,
11 Lifting up those who are low, and putting the sad in a safe place;
Ka apetrany amin’ ny avo Izay ambany, ary asandrany ho amin’ ny fahafinaretana ny miory,
12 Who makes the designs of the wise go wrong, so that they are unable to give effect to their purposes.
Dia Izay mahafoana ny hevitry ny fetsy, ka tsy hahefan’ ny tànany na inona na inona hahasoa ny tenany;
13 He takes the wise in their secret designs, and the purposes of the twisted are cut off suddenly.
Ny fahafetsen’ ny hendry ihany no entiny misambotra azy, ary ny saina ataon’ ny mpiolakolaka dia rava;
14 In the daytime it becomes dark for them, and in the sunlight they go feeling about as if it was night.
Na dia amin’ ny antoandro aza dia tafatsarapaka ao amin’ ny maizina ireny ka miraparapa amin’ ny mitataovovonana tahaka ny amin’ ny alina;
15 But he keeps safe from their sword those who have no father, and the poor from the power of the strong.
Fa vonjeny kosa ny malahelo tsy ho voan’ ny sabatry ny vavany; Eny, vonjeny tsy ho azon’ ny tanan’ ny mahery izy.
16 So the poor man has hope, and the mouth of the evil-doer is stopped.
Dia misy fanantenana ho an’ ny reraka; fa ny faharatsiana kosa mihombom-bava
17 Truly, that man is happy who has training from the hand of God: so do not let your heart be shut to the teaching of the Ruler of all.
Indro, sambatra ny zanak’ olombelona izay anarin’ Andriamanitra, koa aza atao ho zavatra kely ny famaizan’ ny Tsitoha;
18 For after his punishment he gives comfort, and after wounding, his hands make you well.
Fa sady mandratra Izy no mamehy; Manorotoro Izy, ary ny tànany ihany no manasitrana.
19 He will keep you safe from six troubles, and in seven no evil will come near you.
Amin’ ny fahoriana enina dia hamonjy anao Izy; Eny, amin’ ny fito aza dia tsy hisy loza hihatra aminao.
20 When there is need of food he will keep you from death, and in war from the power of the sword.
Raha avy ny mosary, dia hiaro anao amin’ ny fahafatesana Izy; Ary raha avy ny ady, dia hiaro anao tsy ho voan’ ny sabatra Izy;
21 He will keep you safe from the evil tongue; and you will have no fear of wasting when it comes.
Hampiereny tsy ho voan’ ny kapo-bava ianao, ary tsy hatahotra, raha avy ny fandringanana;
22 You will make sport of destruction and need, and will have no fear of the beasts of the earth.
Ny fandringanana sy ny mosary dia hihomehezanao; ary tsy hatahoranao ny bibi-dia;
23 For you will be in agreement with the stones of the earth, and the beasts of the field will be at peace with you.
Fa vita fanekena amin’ ny vato any an-tsaha aza ianao; Ary ny bibi-dia hihavana aminao;
24 And you will be certain that your tent is at peace, and after looking over your property you will see that nothing is gone.
Ary ho hitanao fa ny fiadanana no lainao; Ary raha mizaha ny kijanao ianao, dia ho hitanao fa tsy misy very ny ao;
25 You will be certain that your seed will be great, and your offspring like the plants of the earth.
Ary ho hitanao koa fa maro ny zanakao, ary ny terakao ho tahaka ny ahitra amin’ ny tany;
26 You will come to your last resting-place in full strength, as the grain is taken up to the crushing-floor in its time.
Haharitra ianao ambara-piditrao any am-pasana, raha mbola henjana, dia tahaka ny amboaram-bary akarina amin’ ny fotoana.
27 See, we have made search with care, and it is so; it has come to our ears; see that you take note of it for yourself.
Izany ary no izy, fa efa nandinika azy izahay; Hevero ary izany, ka fantaro tsara.
