Job 35
1 Moreover Eliu spoke these words:
Ary mbola niteny ihany Eliho ka nanao hoe:
2 Doth thy thought seem right to thee, that thou shouldst say: I am more just than God?
Ataonao va fa marina ny nanaovanao hoe: Ny fahamarinako mihoatra noho ny an’ Andriamanitra?
3 For thou saidst: That which is right doth not please thee: or what will it profit thee if I sin?
Fa hoy ianao: Mahasoa ahy manao ahoana moa? Ary inona no soa azoko mihoatra noho ny avy amin’ ny fahotako?
4 Therefore I will answer thy words, and thy friends with thee.
Izaho no hiteny hamaly anao Mbamin’ ny namanao.
5 Look up to heaven and see, and behold the sky, that it is higher than thee.
Jereo ary ny lanitra ka izahao; Ary tsinjovy iry habakabaka, avo loatra iny ka tsy takatrao.
6 If thou sin, what shalt thou hurt him? and if thy iniquities be multiplied, what shalt thou do against him?
Raha manota ianao, moa mahefa inona aminy? Ary raha maro ny fahotanao, mampaninona Azy moa izany?
7 And if thou do justly, what shalt thou give him, or what shall he receive of thy hand?
Raha marina ianao, dia hahazoany inona moa izany? Na inona no horaisiny avy amin’ ny tananao?
8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man that is like thee: and thy justice may help the son of man.
Mihatra amin’ ny olona tahaka anao ihany ny ratsy ataonao; Ary mihatra amin’ ny olombelona ihany ny fahamarinanao.
9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they shall cry out: and shall wail for the violence of the arm of tyrants.
Noho ny habiazan’ ny fampahoriana no itarainan’ ny olona; Eny, minananana izy noho ny sandrin’ ny mahery,
10 And he hath not said: Where is God, who made me, who hath given songs in the night?
Nefa tsy misy manao hoe: Aiza Andriamanitra, Mpanao ahy, Izay mahatonga fiderana amin’ ny alina,
11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and instructeth us more than the fowls of the air.
Izay manome fahalalana antsika mihoatra noho ny an’ ny biby ambonin’ ny tany, dia Izay manome fahendrena antsika mihoatra noho ny an’ ny voro-manidina?
12 There shall they cry, and he will not hear, because of the pride of evil men.
Eny, mitaraina mafy ireo (fa tsy mamaly Izy) noho ny fireharehan’ ny ratsy fanahy.
13 God therefore will not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into the causes of every one.
Ny fitarainam-poana dia tsy mba henoin’ Andriamanitra, ary ny Tsitoha tsy mandinika izany.
14 Yea when thou shalt say: He considereth not: be judged before him, and expect him.
Na dia lazainao fa tsy mahita azy aza ianao, efa mby eo anatrehany ny ady, koa tsy maintsy miandry Azy ianao.
15 For he doth not now bring on his fury, neither doth he revenge wickedness exceedingly.
Koa raha saingy tsy mihatra ny fahatezerany, moa dia tsy fantany tsara koa va ny fihaikana?
16 Therefore Job openeth his mouth in vain, and multiplieth words without knowledge.
Mba miloa-bava foana anefa Joba ary manao teny maro tsy amim-pahalalana.
