Job 35
1 And Elius resumed and said,
Le hoe ty natovo’ i Eliho:
2 What is this that you think to be according to right? who are you that you have said, I am righteous before the Lord?
Atao’o mahity hao i nanoe’o ty hoe, Izaho ro vantañe te aman’ Añahare.
3 I will answer you, and your three friends.
Fa hoe irehe, Inoñe ty ho tombo’e ho azo? Ino ty ho tambeko mandikoatse te tsy nandilatse?
4 Look up to the sky and see; and consider the clouds, how high [they are] above you.
Hanoiñe azo naho o rañe’o mindre ama’oo iraho.
5 If you have sinned, what will you do?
Mitalakesa mb’andikerañe ey vaho Mahaisaha; Heheke o rahoñeo, ambòne’o iereo.
6 and if too you have transgressed much, what can you perform?
Ihe mandilatse, Mijoy aze hao? Ie bey hakeo, Inoñe ty anoe’o ama’e?
7 And suppose you are righteous, what will you give him? or what shall he receive of your hand?
Ie vantan-drehe, ino ty atolo’o aze, ke ino ty rambese’e am-pità’o?
8 Your ungodliness [may affect] a man who is like to you; or your righteousness a son of man.
Ho ama’ ondaty manahak’ azo ty hatsivokara’o naho amo ana’ ondatio ty havañona’o.
9 They that are oppressed of a multitude will be ready to cry out; they will call for help because of the arm of many.
O hamarom-pamorekekeañeo ty itoreova’ iareo, ty sira maoza’ i maroy ty ikaiha’iareo,
10 But none said, Where is God that made me, who appoints the night-watches;
fe tsy eo ty manao: Aia t’i Andrianamboatse ahy, i Mpañomey sabo an-kaleñey,
11 who makes me to differ from the four-footed beasts of the earth, and from the birds of the sky?
i mañòke raha maro amantika te amo bibi’ ty tane toioy, vaho ampahihire’e ambone’ o voron-tiokeo?
12 There they shall cry, and none shall listen, even because of the insolence of wicked men.
Eo ty mikaike, f’ie tsy manoiñe ty amy firengevoha’ ondaty raty tserekeoy.
13 For the Lord desires not to look on error, for he is the Almighty One.
Toe tsy janjin’ Añahare ty raha kafoake; tsy haoñe’ i El-Sadai,
14 He beholds them that perform lawless deeds, and he will save me: and do you plead before him, if you can praise him, as it is [possible] even now.
Antsake t’ie manao te tsy mahaoniñe aze; aolo’e eo ty enta’o, aa le liñiso;
15 For he is not [now] regarding his wrath, nor has he noticed severely any trespass.
Ie henaneo, mbe tsy nitilihe’e an-kaviñera’e, tsy loho nihaoñe’e o fandilarañeo.
16 Yet Job vainly opens his mouth, in ignorance he multiplies words.
Aa le evoñe ty aakam-palie’ Iobe; ampitomboa’e lañonañe tsy aman-kilala.
