Job 5
1 Call, I pray thee! Is there any that answereth thee? and to which of the holy ones wilt thou turn?
Miantsoa ange! moa misy hamaly anao va? Ary iza amin’ ireo masìna no hotodihinao?
2 For vexation killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the simple.
Fa ny adala dia vonoin’ ny fahasosorana, ary ny kely saina dia matin’ ny fialonana.
3 I myself saw the foolish taking root, but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
Izaho nahita olona adala mamaka, nefa vetivety Indray dia tsy maintsy nanozona ny fonenany aho;
4 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, and there is no deliverer:
Lavitra ny famonjena ny zanany Ka torotoro eo am-bavahady, nefa tsy manan-kamonjy;
5 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh even out of the thorns; and the snare gapeth for his substance.
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 cometh not forth from the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
Fa tsy mivoaka avy amin’ ny vovoka ny alahelo, ary tsy mitrebona avy amin’ ny tany ny fahoriana,
7 For man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upwards.
Nefa teraka ho amin’ ny fahoriana ny olombelona, dia tahaka ny fanidin’ ny kilalaon’ afo miakatra
8 But as for me I will seek unto God, and unto God commit my cause;
Fa raha toa ahy kosa dia hitady an’ Andriamanitra aho, ary Andriamanitra ihany no hotolorako ny teniko,
9 Who doeth great things and unsearchable, marvellous things without number;
Dia Izay manao zava-dehibe tsy takatry ny saina sy zava-mahagaga tsy hita isa,
10 Who giveth rain on the face of the earth, and sendeth waters on the face of the fields;
Dia Izay mampilatsaka ranonorana etỳ ambonin’ ny tany ary mampandeha rano eny amin’ ny saha,
11 Setting up on high those that are low; and mourners are exalted to prosperity.
Ka apetrany amin’ ny avo Izay ambany, ary asandrany ho amin’ ny fahafinaretana ny miory,
12 He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, and their hands carry not out the enterprise.
Dia Izay mahafoana ny hevitry ny fetsy, ka tsy hahefan’ ny tànany na inona na inona hahasoa ny tenany;
13 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness; and the counsel of the wily is carried headlong:
Ny fahafetsen’ ny hendry ihany no entiny misambotra azy, ary ny saina ataon’ ny mpiolakolaka dia rava;
14 They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope at midday as in the 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 And he saveth the needy from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
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 hath what he hopeth for, and unrighteousness stoppeth her mouth.
Dia misy fanantenana ho an’ ny reraka; fa ny faharatsiana kosa mihombom-bava
17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth; therefore despise not the chastening of the Almighty.
Indro, sambatra ny zanak’ olombelona izay anarin’ Andriamanitra, koa aza atao ho zavatra kely ny famaizan’ ny Tsitoha;
18 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up; he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
Fa sady mandratra Izy no mamehy; Manorotoro Izy, ary ny tànany ihany no manasitrana.
19 He will deliver thee in six troubles, and in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
Amin’ ny fahoriana enina dia hamonjy anao Izy; Eny, amin’ ny fito aza dia tsy hisy loza hihatra aminao.
20 In famine he will redeem thee 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 Thou shalt be hidden from the scourge of the tongue; and thou shalt not be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
Hampiereny tsy ho voan’ ny kapo-bava ianao, ary tsy hatahotra, raha avy ny fandringanana;
22 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh, and of the beasts of the earth thou shalt not be afraid.
Ny fandringanana sy ny mosary dia hihomehezanao; ary tsy hatahoranao ny bibi-dia;
23 For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field, and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
Fa vita fanekena amin’ ny vato any an-tsaha aza ianao; Ary ny bibi-dia hihavana aminao;
24 And thou shalt know that thy tent is in peace; and thou wilt survey thy fold, and miss nothing.
Ary ho hitanao fa ny fiadanana no lainao; Ary raha mizaha ny kijanao ianao, dia ho hitanao fa tsy misy very ny ao;
25 And thou shalt know that thy seed is numerous, and thine offspring as the herb of the earth.
Ary ho hitanao koa fa maro ny zanakao, ary ny terakao ho tahaka ny ahitra amin’ ny tany;
26 Thou shalt come to the grave in a ripe age, as a shock of corn is brought in in its season.
Haharitra ianao ambara-piditrao any am-pasana, raha mbola henjana, dia tahaka ny amboaram-bary akarina amin’ ny fotoana.
27 Behold this, we have searched it out, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thyself.
Izany ary no izy, fa efa nandinika azy izahay; Hevero ary izany, ka fantaro tsara.
