Job 27
1 And Job again took up his measure, and said: —
Dia mbola nandroso nanao oha-teny ihany Joba ka nanao hoe:
2 As GOD liveth who hath taken away my right, even the Almighty, who hath embittered my soul;
Raha velona koa Andriamanitra, Izay efa nandà tsy hanome ahy ny rariny, sy ny Tsitoha, Izay efa nampangidy ny aiko.
3 All the while my inspiration is in me, and the spirit of GOD is in my nostrils,
Fa mbola ato anatiko ihany ny aiko, ary eo am-bavoroko ny Fanahin’ Andriamanitra.
4 Verily my lips shall not speak perversity, nor shall, my tongue, utter deceit.
Dia tsy hanao teny tsy marina ny molotro, ary tsy hanonom-pitaka ny lelako.
5 Far be it from me! that I should justify, you, —Even until I breathe my last, will I not let go mine integrity from me:
Sanatria raha hanaiky ny anareo ho marina aho! Mandra-pialan’ ny aiko dia tsy hanaiky ny tenako ho manan-tsiny aho.
6 On my righteousness, have I taken fast hold, and will not give it up, My heart shall not reproach any of my days.
Ny fahamarinako dia hazoniko mafy ka tsy ho foiko; Ny foko tsy manome tsiny ahy akory na dia ny amin’ ny androko iray monja aza.
7 Let mine enemy be a veritably lawless one! And, he that lifteth himself up against me, one veritably perverse!
Aoka ho hita fa ratsy fanahy ny fahavaloko, ary tsy marina izay mitsangana hanohitra ahy.
8 For what shall be the hope of the impious, though he graspeth with greed, when GOD shall draw forth his soul?
Fa inona no fanantenan’ ny mpihatsaravelatsihy, raha maito ny ainy, ka tsoahan’ Andriamanitra ny fanahiny?
9 His outcry, will GOD hear, when there cometh upon him distress?
Hihaino ny fitarainany va Andriamanitra, raha ozoim-pahoriana izy?
10 Verily, in the Almighty, he will not find delight, nor call on GOD continually!
Ho azony hiravoravoana va ny Tsitoha? Hahazo miantso an’ Andriamanitra mandrakariva va izy?
11 I would teach you, by the hand of GOD, That which is with the Almighty, will I not conceal.
Hampianatra anareo ny amin’ ny tànan’ Andriamanitra aho, ary tsy hisorona anareo aho ny amin’ ny hevitry ny Tsitoha.
12 Lo! ye, have, all of you, seen, Wherefore, then, is it, that ye are utterly without purpose?
Indreo, ianareo rehetra samy efa nahita izany; Koa nahoana ianareo no manao hevi-poana?
13 This, is the portion of a lawless man with GOD, That, the heritage of tyrants—from the Almighty, he shall receive.
Izao no anjaran’ ny ratsy fanahy avy amin’ Andriamanitra, sy lovan’ ny lozabe raisiny avy amin’ ny Tsitoha:
14 If his children be multiplied, for them, [there is] the sword, and, his offspring, shall not be filled with bread;
Na dia mihamaro aza ny zanany, dia ho an’ ny sabatra ihany ireny. Ary ny zaza aterany tsy ho voky hanina;
15 His survivors, by pestilence, shall come to the grave, and, his widows, shall not weep;
Ny ankohonany sisa dia hasitrik’ Ifahafatesana, ary tsy hisaona azy ny mpitondratenany;
16 Though he heap up silver like, dust, and, like a pile, he prepare clothing,
Na dia mahary volafotsy hoatra ny vovoka aza izy ary mahangona fitafiana hoatra ny fotaka,
17 He may prepare, but, the righteous, shall put on, and, the silver, shall the innocent apportion.
Eny, manangona ihany izy, nefa ny marina no hitafy izany, ary ny tsy manan-tsiny no hizara ny volafotsy;
18 He hath built, like a moth, his house, —like a hut, which a watcher hath made.
Manao ny tranony tahaka ny an’ ny lolofotsy izy, ary tahaka ny trano rantsan-kazo ataon’ ny mpiandry voly;
19 The rich man, shall lie down, and not do it again, his eyes, hath he opened, and then is not.
Ao avokoa ihany ny hareny, raha vao mandry izy; Nefa nony ahirany ny masony, dia tsy ao intsony ireny.
20 There shall reach him—like waters—terrors, By night, a storm-wind hath stolen him away;
Ny fampahatahorana mahatratra azy tahaka ny riaka: Nony alina paohin’ ny tafio-drivotra izy;
21 An east wind shall lift him up, and he shall depart, and it shall sweep him away out of his place;
Ny rivotra avy any atsinanana mampiainga sy mahalasa azy ka mipaoka azy hiala amin’ ny fitoerany;
22 And He will cast upon him and not spare, Out of his hand, shall he, swiftly flee;
Asian’ Andriamanitra izy ka tsy iantrany, ary mandositra dia mandositra ho afaka amin’ ny tànany izy;
23 He shall clap over him his hands, and shall hiss him forth out of his place.
Tehafin’ ny olona tanana izy sady isitrisirany ka ampialainy amin’ ny fonenany.
