Job 7
1 Is not the life of man upon earth a state of trial? and his existence as that of a hireling by the day?
Tsy mahafantatra izay ratsy va ny vavako? Tsy mpiantafika va ny zanak’ olombelona etỳ ambonin’ ny tany? Ary tsy tahaka ny andron’ ny mpikarama va ny androny?
2 Or as a servant that fears his master, and one who has grasped a shadow? or as a hireling waiting for his pay?
Toy ny mpanompo maniry alokaloka, ary toy ny mpikarama miandry ny karaman’ ny asany,
3 So have I also endured months of vanity, and nights of pain have been appointed me.
Dia toy izany no anaovana ahy hahita volana mampahory, ary alina mahadisadisa no tendrena ho ahy.
4 Whenever I lie down, I say, When [will it be] day? and whenever I rise up, again [I say] when [will it be] evening? and I am full of pains from evening to morning.
Raha vao mandry aho, dia mieritreritra hoe: Rahoviana re no hifoha aho? Fa mihalava izany ny alina, ary mivadibadika indrindra aho mandra-pahazavan’ ny andro.
5 And my body is covered with loathsome worms; and I waste away, scraping off clods of dust from my eruption.
Ny nofoko mitafy olitra sy baingan-tany; efa maina ny hoditro, kanjo mitsiranorano indray.
6 And my life is lighter than a word, and has perished in vain hope.
Faingana noho ny famahanan-tenona ny androko ka lany tsy misy fanantenana.
7 Remember then that my life is breath, and mine eye shalt not yet again see good.
Tsarovy fa rivotra ny aiko: ary tsy hahita soa intsony ny masoko.
8 The eye of him that sees me shall not see me [again]: thine eyes are upon me, and I am no more.
Tsy hahita ahy intsony ny mason’ izay mijery ahy: Ny masonao hizaha ahy, fa tsy ho ao aho.
9 [I am] as a cloud that is cleared away from the sky: for if a man go down to the grave, he shall not come up again: (Sheol h7585)
Tahaka ny rahona misava ka levona, dia tahaka izany koa, izay midìna any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita tsy mba hiakatra intsony; (Sheol h7585)
10 and he shall surely not return to his own house, neither shall his place know him any more.
Tsy hiverina any an-tranony intsony izy. Ary tsy hahalala azy intsony ny fonenany.
11 Then neither will I refrain my mouth: I will speak being in distress; being in anguish I will disclose the bitterness of my soul.
Ary izaho dia tsy hamehy vava, Fa hiteny noho ny fahorian’ ny fanahiko sy hitaraina noho ny fangidian’ ny aiko.
12 Am I a sea, or a serpent, that thou hast set a watch over me?
Ranomasina va aho, na trozona, No dia asianao fiambenana?
13 I said that my bed should comfort me, and I would privately counsel with myself on my couch.
Raha hoy izaho: Hampionona ahy ny farafarako, hampitony ny fitarainako ny fandriako.
14 Thou scarest me with dreams, and dost terrify me with visions.
Dia mampitahotra ahy amin’ ny nofy Hianao ary mampihorohoro ahy amin’ ny tsindrimandry;
15 Thou wilt separate life from my spirit; and yet [keep] my bones from death.
Ka dia aleon’ ny fanahiko ny hokendaina, eny, aleoko ny fahafatesana aza toy izay izato fitofezako izato;
16 For I shall not live for ever, that I should patiently endure: depart from me, for my life [is] vain.
Maharikoriko ahy izao, tsy tiako ny ho velona ela; Ilaozy miala aho, fa fofona foana ny androko.
17 For what is man, that thou hast magnified him? or that thou givest heed to him?
Inona moa ny zanak’ olombelona, no ekenao ho lehibe, ka ampandinihinao azy ny fonao,
18 Wilt thou visit him till the morning, and judge him till [the time of] rest?
Sady fantarinao isa-maraina izy; sy izahanao toetra isaky ny indray mipi-maso?
19 How long dost thou not let me alone, nor let me go, until I shall swallow down my spittle?
Mandra-pahoviana re vao hihodina tsy hijery ahy Hianao, ka mba hiala amiko mandra-piteliko rora?
20 If I have sinned, what shall I be able to do, O thou that understandest the mind of men? why hast thou made me as thine accuser, and [why] am I a burden to thee?
Na dia ho nanota aza aho, nampaninona Anao moa izany, ry Mpandinika ny olombelona? Nahoana no dia nataonao fikendry aho, ka efa tonga enta-mavesatra amiko aho?
21 Why hast thou not forgotten my iniquity, and purged my sin? but now I shall depart to the earth; and in the morning I am no more.
Ary nahoana no tsy mamela ny fahadisoako sy manaisotra ny heloko Hianao? Fa izao dia efa handry any amin’ ny vovoka aho; ary hitady ahy fatratra Hianao, fa tsy ho atỳ intsony aho.
