Job 30
1 “But now men who are younger than I am make fun of me— men whose fathers I greatly despised, with the result that I would not even have allowed them to help my dogs guard my sheep.
Fa ankehitriny kosa dia mihomehy ahy na dia izay tokon-jandriko aza, dia zanak’ ireo izay nolaviko tsy ho isan’ ny amboa miandry ny ondriko akory aza.
2 They were men who were old and (weak/worn out); so (what could I gain from them working for me?/I would have gained nothing from them working for me.) [RHQ]
Eny, mampaninona ahy ny herin’ ny tànan’ ireo. Izay efa very fahatanjahana?
3 They were very poor and hungry, with the result that they chewed on roots [at night] in dry and desolate places.
Manjenjena noho ny tsi-fisian-kanina sy ny mosary izy; Homankomana foana any an-tany karankaina izy, dia eo an-katoky ny loza sy ny fandringanana.
4 They pulled up plants in the desert [and ate them] and warmed themselves by [burning] the roots of broom trees.
Mitsongo anambodihena eo amin’ ny kirihitrala izy, ary ny fakan’ ny anjavidy no fihinany.
5 Everyone shouted at them as though they were thieves and expelled them [from their areas].
Roahina tsy ho eo amin’ ny olona izy sady akoraina toy ny mpangalatra.
6 They were forced to live in caves in the hills, in holes in the ground, and in the sides of cliffs.
Any an-dohasaha mahatsiravina no tsy maintsy itoerany, dia ao an-dava-tany sy an-dava-bato.
7 In the bushes they howled [like animals because they were hungry], and they huddled together under thornbushes.
Minananana eny amin’ ny kirihitrala izy ary mitangorona eo ambanin’ ny amiana.
8 They were people without good sense, whose names no one knows; they have been expelled from the land [where they were born].
Zanaky ny adala izy sady zanaky ny tsy manan-kaja, ka roahina tsy ho eo amin’ ny tany.
9 “And now their [children] sing songs to make fun of me. They tell jokes about me.
Ary ankehitriny efa ataony an-kira aho. Eny, efa ambentinteniny aho.
10 They are disgusted with me, and they [usually] stay away from me, [but when they see me, ] they are happy to spit in my face.
Ataony toy ny zava-betaveta aho ka halaviriny, ary tsy menatra handrora ny tavako izy.
11 Because [it is as though] [MET] God has cut my bowstring, [he has caused me to be unable to defend myself, ] and he has humbled me, and my enemies have done to me whatever they wanted.
Fa noketrahin’ Andriamanitra ny kofehiko, ka nampietreny aho; Ka dia mba nesorin’ iretsy kosa teo anatrehako ny lamboridiny.
12 (Gangs/Groups of violent youths) attack me and force me to run away; they prepare to destroy me.
Misy androvolahy mitsangana eo ankavanako; Manosika ny tongotro hiala izy ary manandratra tovon-tany hampidirany loza amiko.
13 They prevent me from escaping, and they [do] not [need] anyone to help them (OR, there is no one to help me).
Mandrava ny lalako sy manararaotra ny andravana ahy izy, nefa ny tenany tsy manan-kamonjy,
14 [It is as though I am a city wall and] [SIM] they have broken through the wall, and they have come crashing down on me.
Toy ny fiditra eo amin’ ny banga lehibe no fihaviny, ka avy ao amin’ ny voarava no imaonany.
15 I am very terrified; My dignity/honor has been taken away as though [SIM] [it has been] blown away by the wind, and my prosperity has disappeared like [SIM] clouds disappear.
Voatodika hamely ahy ny fampitahorana: Manenjika ny voninahitro tahaka ny rivotra izy, ka levona tahaka ny rahona ny famonjena ahy
16 “And now I [SYN] am about to die [IDM]; I suffer every day.
Ary ankehitriny, raraka ato anatiko ny fanahiko. Fenjàn’ ny andro fahoriana aho.
17 My bones ache during the night, and the pain that torments me never stops.
Ny alina mampahalò ny taolako ho afaka amiko, ary tsy mitsahatra ireo manotahota ahy ireo.
18 [It is as though God] seizes my clothes and chokes me with the collar of my coat.
Noho ny haben’ ny hery dia tonga tsy antonona ny akanjoko, manenda ahy tahaka ny vozon-dobaka izany.
19 He has thrown me into the mud; I am [not worth anything more than] dust and ashes.
Eny, nanary ahy teo amin’ ny fotaka Izy, ka efa tahaka ny vovoka sy ny lavenona aho
20 “I cry out to God, but he does not answer/help me; I stand up [and pray], but he does not pay any attention.
Mitaraina aminao aho, nefa tsy mihaino ahy Hianao; Mijoro eo aho, nefa ierenao foana.
21 He acts very cruelly toward me; with all of his power [MTY] he causes me to suffer.
Efa manjary lozabe amiko Hianao; Ny herin’ ny tananao no andrafianao ahy.
22 He [allows] the wind to lift me up and blow me away, and he tosses me up and down in a violent storm.
Aingainao ho eny amin’ ny rivotra aho ka alefanao handeha, ary levoninao amin’ ny tafio-drivotra mifofofofo ho tsinontsinona aho.
23 I know that he will cause me to die, which is what happens to everyone [MTY] who is alive.
Fa fantatro fa hampodinao any amin’ ny fahafatesana aho, dia any amin’ ny trano fivorian’ ny olombelona rehetra.
24 “When people experience disasters, and they sit on a pile of ruins and cry out for help, others surely [RHQ] reach out their hand to help them.
Kanefa tsy manainga ny tànany va ny olona, raha ianjeran’ ny rava? Ary tsy mitaraina va izy, raha tratry ny loza?
25 [That is what I did previously]. I wept for people who were experiencing troubles, and I felt sorry for poor/needy people.
Tsy nitomany ny ory va aho? Tsy nangorakoraka ny malahelo va ny fanahiko?
26 But when I expected good things [to happen to me], evil things happened; when I waited for light/happiness, all I experienced was darkness/unhappiness [MET].
Fa niandry ny soa aho, kanjo tonga ny ratsy; Ary nanantena ny mazava aho, kanjo avy ny maizina.
27 I am very distressed [IDM], all the time; I suffer every day.
Nandevilevy ny tsinaiko ka tsy nanam-pitsaharana; Nitsena ahy ny andro fahoriana.
28 I go about very discouraged; I stand up and plead for people to help me.
Mitsaitsaika mitafy lamba fisaonana aho sady tsy mahita masoandro; Mitsangana aho ka mitaraina eo ampivorian’ ny olona.
29 My wailing sounds as sad as [MET] the cries of jackals/foxes and ostriches.
Rahalahin’ ny amboadia aho Ary naman’ ny ostritsa.
30 My skin has become dark/black and is peeling off, and I have a fever [which causes my body to feel like it is] burning.
Efa mainty ny hoditro sady miendakendaka, ary efa karankaina noho ny hafanana ny taolako.
31 Previously, I played joyful music on my harp and with my flute, but now I play only the sad music of those who mourn.”
Nanjary fisaonana ny lokangako. Ary feon’ ny mitomany ny sodiko.
