Job 14
1 For a mortal born of a woman [is] short lived, and full of wrath.
Ny olona tera-behivavy dia vitsy andro sady vontom-pahoriana.
2 Or he falls like a flower that has bloomed; and he departs like a shadow, and can’t continue.
Mitsimoka tahaka ny voninkazo izy ka jinjana, ary mihelina tahaka ny aloka izy ka tsy mitoetra.
3 Hast you not taken account even of him, and caused him to enter into judgement before you?
kanefa amin’ izay toy izany foana no ampihiratanao ny masonao? ka dia izay izaho avy no entinao hifandahatra aminao amin’ ny fitsarana!
4 For who shall be pure from uncleanness? not even one;
Aiza no misy madio ateraky ny tsy madio? Tsy misy na dia iray akory aza.
5 if even his life should be [but] one day upon the earth: and his months are numbered by him: you have appointed [him] for a time, and he shall by no means exceed [it].
Raha voafetra ny androny, ary voatendrinao ny isan’ ny volana iainany, ary asianao fefy tsy azony ihoarana,
6 Depart from him, that he may be quiet, and take pleasure in his life, [though] as a hireling.
Dia mihodìna tsy hanatrika azy Hianao, mba hitsaharany, ka hifaliany amin’ ny androny toy ny mpikarama.
7 For there is hope for a tree, even if it should be cut down, [that] it shall blossom again, and its branch shall not fail.
Fa azo antenaina ny hazo, satria na dia kapaina aza izy, dia mbola hitsimoka indray, ka tsy maintsy hisy ny solofony;
8 For though its root should grow old in the earth, and its stem die in the rock;
Na dia efa tonga antitra ao amin’ ny tany aza ny fakany, ary maty ao amin’ ny vovoka ny fotony,
9 it will blossom from the scent of water, and will produce a crop, as one newly planted.
Raha mahare ny fofon-drano izy, dia hitsimoka indray. Ka handrahaka tahaka ny hazo tanora nambolena.
10 But a man that has died is utterly gone; and when a mortal has fallen, he is no more.
Fa ny olona kosa maty ka miampatra; Eny, miala aina ny olona, ary aiza izy?
11 For the sea wastes in [length of] time, and a river fails and is dried up.
Ny rano miala eo amin’ ny kamory, ary ny ony mihena ka ritra,
12 And man that has lain down [in death] shall certainly not rise again till the heaven be dissolved, and they shall not awake from their sleep.
Ary toy izany koa ny olona; mandry izy ka tsy hitsangana intsony; Eny, mandra-paha-tsy hisian’ ny lanitra dia tsy hahatsiaro izy na hofohazina amin’ ny torimasony.
13 For oh that you had kept me in the grave, and had hidden me until your wrath should cease, and you should set me a time in which you would remember me! (Sheol h7585)
Enga anie ka hanafina ahy any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita Hianao Ka hampiery ahy mandra-pahafaky ny fahatezeranao! Ary hanendry fetr’ andro ho ahy, dia hahatsiaro ahy (Sheol h7585)
14 For if a man should die, shall he live [again], having accomplished the days of his life? I will wait till I exist again?
Raha maty ny olona, moa ho velona indray va izy? Raha izany, dia hiandry mandritra ny andro fanafihako aho, mandra-pahatongan’ ny fahafahako.
15 Then shall you call, and I will listen to you: but do not you reject the work of your hands.
Dia hiantso Hianao, ary izaho hamaly Anao; ary mba halahelo ny asan’ ny tananao Hianao.
16 But you have numbered my devices: and not one of my sins shall escape you?
Fa ankehitriny manisa ny diako Hianao; Tsy mitsikilo ny fahotako va Hianao?
17 An you have sealed up my transgressions in a bag, and marked if I have been guilty of any transgression unawares.
Efa voaisy tombo-kase ny kitapo misy ny fahadisoako; Ary voazaitranao ny heloko.
18 And verily a mountain falling will utterly be destroyed, and a rock shall be worn out of its place.
Kanefa na dia ny tendrombohitra aza, raha mianjera, dia mihalevona; Ary ny vatolampy dia afindra hiala amin’ ny fitoerany;
19 The waters wear the stones, and waters falling headlong [overflow] a heap of the earth: and you destroy the hope of man.
Lanin’ ny rano ny vato; ary indaosin’ ny riaka ny vovo-tany: Toy izany no fanimbanao ny fanantenan’ ny zanak’ olombelona.
20 You drive him to an end, and he is gone: you set your face against him, and send him away;
Mandresy azy ho mandrakizay Hianao, ka lasa izy; Manova ny tarehiny Hianao ka mampandeha azy.
21 and though his children be multiplied, he knows [it] not; and if they be few, he is not aware.
Omem-boninahitra ny zanany nefa tsy fantany; Ary mietry ireo, nefa tsy hitany.
22 But his flesh is in pain, and his soul mourns.
Ny mihatra amin’ ny tenany ihany no mampanaintaina azy, ary ny mihatra amin’ ny tenany ihany no mampalahelo ny fanahiny.
