Job 16
1 Bvt Iob answered, and said,
Le hoe ty natoi’ Iobe:
2 I haue oft times heard such things: miserable comforters are ye all.
Fa maro ty entañe tsinanoko hoe Izay, songa mpañohò mahamonjetse.
3 Shall there be none ende of wordes of winde? or what maketh thee bold so to answere?
Tsy higadom-bao o reha-kafoakeo? ke inoñe ty manigik’azo hanoiñe?
4 I could also speake as yee doe: (but woulde God your soule were in my soules stead) I could keepe you company in speaking, and could shake mine head at you,
Mete ho nivolambolañe manahake anahareo iraho, naho nifandimbe toetse o tron-tikañeo, mete ho nanoitoim-bolañe ama’ areo, vaho nikofikofihako loha.
5 But I woulde strengthen you with my mouth, and the comfort of my lips should asswage your sorowe.
Ho nampahaozare’ ty vavako nahareo, vaho nampanintsiña’ ty fihetsen-tsoñiko.
6 Though I speake, my sorow can not be asswaged: though I cease, what release haue I?
Fe ndra te mivolan-draho, tsy mikepake ty hasotriako, hahamaivañ’ ahy hao te mifoneñe.
7 But now hee maketh mee wearie: O God, thou hast made all my congregation desolate,
Fe nimokore’e iraho henaneo, fa nahabangý o mpiamako iabio irehe,
8 And hast made me full of wrinkles which is a witnesse thereof, and my leannes ryseth vp in me, testifying the same in my face.
Nampiforejeje ahiko irehe, valolombelo amako izay; Mionjoñe amako ato ty faifoifoko, ie oniñe an-tareheko.
9 His wrath hath torne me, and hee hateth me, and gnasheth vpon mee with his teeth: mine enemie hath sharpened his eyes against me.
Nirimita’ ty haviñera’e, mitan-kabò amako, nialia’e vazañe; nabohiri’ i Rafelahikoy amako o fihaino’eo.
10 They haue opened their mouthes vpon me, and smitten me on the cheeke in reproch; they gather themselues together against me.
Nampibolobea-palie amako, tinakapi’ iareo amañ’inje ty fifiko, le nihimpok’ amako.
11 God hath deliuered me to the vniust, and hath made mee to turne out of the way by the hands of the wicked.
Toe nasesen’Añahare amo raty tserekeo iraho, mbore navokovoko’e am-pità’ o tsy vokatseo.
12 I was in welth, but he hath brought me to nought: he hath taken me by the necke, and beaten me, and set me as a marke for himselfe.
Nierañeran-draho, fe nampivaletrahe’e. Ginore’e am-bozoko vaho hinotohoto’e, mbore najado’e ho fanolarañe.
13 His archers compasse mee rounde about: he cutteth my reines, and doth not spare, and powreth my gall vpon the ground.
Miarikoboñe ahy o mpitàm-pale’eo, tseratserahe’e, abenta’e tsy aman-tretre o tsapa-voakoo, vaho adoandoa’e an-tane eo o aferokoo.
14 He hath broken me with one breaking vpon another, and runneth vpon me like a gyant.
Boroboñake atovom-boroboñake ty niboroboñaha’e ahy; hoe fanalohaly t’ie mañoridañe.
15 I haue sowed a sackcloth vpon my skinne, and haue abased mine horne vnto the dust.
Nitrebehako gony ty holiko, vaho napoko an-deboke ao ty tsifako.
16 My face is withered with weeping, and the shadow of death is vpon mine eyes,
Nampandofiry ty tareheko o tañikoo, an-koli-masoko eo ty talinjon-kavilasy;
17 Though there be no wickednesse in mine hands, and my prayer be pure.
ndra te tsy aman-tsenge hery o tañakoo, mbore malio o halalikoo.
18 O earth, couer not thou my blood, and let my crying finde no place.
O ry tane; ko lembefa’o ty lioko, le ko mea’o fitofàñe o toreokoo.
19 For lo, now my witnesse is in the heauen, and my record is on hie.
Ie amy zao hehe te an-dikerañe ao i valolombelokoy, ambone ao i Mpañalañalakoy.
20 My friends speake eloquently against me: but mine eye powreth out teares vnto God.
Mikizak’ahy o rañekoo, i Andrianañahare ty fitsopaha’ o masokoo.
21 Oh that a man might pleade with God, as man with his neighbour!
Ehe t’ie nimpañalañalañe añivo’ ondatio naho i Andrianañahare, manahake ty ana’ondaty aman-drañe’e.
22 For the yeeres accounted come, and I shall go the way, whence I shall not returne.
Aa ie añe ty taoñe tsy ampeampe, le hionjomb’an-dalañe tsy impolian-draho.
