Job 35
1 Moreover Eliu spoke these words:
Le hoe ty natovo’ i Eliho:
2 Doth thy thought seem right to thee, that thou shouldst say: I am more just than God?
Atao’o mahity hao i nanoe’o ty hoe, Izaho ro vantañe te aman’ Añahare.
3 For thou saidst: That which is right doth not please thee: or what will it profit thee if I sin?
Fa hoe irehe, Inoñe ty ho tombo’e ho azo? Ino ty ho tambeko mandikoatse te tsy nandilatse?
4 Therefore I will answer thy words, and thy friends with thee.
Hanoiñe azo naho o rañe’o mindre ama’oo iraho.
5 Look up to heaven and see, and behold the sky, that it is higher than thee.
Mitalakesa mb’andikerañe ey vaho Mahaisaha; Heheke o rahoñeo, ambòne’o iereo.
6 If thou sin, what shalt thou hurt him? and if thy iniquities be multiplied, what shalt thou do against him?
Ihe mandilatse, Mijoy aze hao? Ie bey hakeo, Inoñe ty anoe’o ama’e?
7 And if thou do justly, what shalt thou give him, or what shall he receive of thy hand?
Ie vantan-drehe, ino ty atolo’o aze, ke ino ty rambese’e am-pità’o?
8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man that is like thee: and thy justice may help the son of man.
Ho ama’ ondaty manahak’ azo ty hatsivokara’o naho amo ana’ ondatio ty havañona’o.
9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they shall cry out: and shall wail for the violence of the arm of tyrants.
O hamarom-pamorekekeañeo ty itoreova’ iareo, ty sira maoza’ i maroy ty ikaiha’iareo,
10 And he hath not said: Where is God, who made me, who hath given songs in the night?
fe tsy eo ty manao: Aia t’i Andrianamboatse ahy, i Mpañomey sabo an-kaleñey,
11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and instructeth us more than the fowls of the air.
i mañòke raha maro amantika te amo bibi’ ty tane toioy, vaho ampahihire’e ambone’ o voron-tiokeo?
12 There shall they cry, and he will not hear, because of the pride of evil men.
Eo ty mikaike, f’ie tsy manoiñe ty amy firengevoha’ ondaty raty tserekeoy.
13 God therefore will not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into the causes of every one.
Toe tsy janjin’ Añahare ty raha kafoake; tsy haoñe’ i El-Sadai,
14 Yea when thou shalt say: He considereth not: be judged before him, and expect him.
Antsake t’ie manao te tsy mahaoniñe aze; aolo’e eo ty enta’o, aa le liñiso;
15 For he doth not now bring on his fury, neither doth he revenge wickedness exceedingly.
Ie henaneo, mbe tsy nitilihe’e an-kaviñera’e, tsy loho nihaoñe’e o fandilarañeo.
16 Therefore Job openeth his mouth in vain, and multiplieth words without knowledge.
Aa le evoñe ty aakam-palie’ Iobe; ampitomboa’e lañonañe tsy aman-kilala.
