Job 33
1 “But now, Job, listen carefully to all that I am going to say [DOU].
Kanefa, masìna ianao, ry Joba; mihainoa ny alahatro, ary mandrenesa ny teniko rehetra.
2 I am ready to tell you [MTY, DOU] [what I think].
Indro, fa efa niloa-bava aho, Miteny ato am-bavako ny lelako.
3 I know that I am speaking honestly and that I am speaking [MTY] sincerely.
Ny hitsim-poko no hiseho amin’ ny teniko; Ary ny fahalalan’ ny molotro no holazaina tsy hasiana fitaka.
4 Almighty God has created me [as well as you], and his breath has caused me to live.
Ny Fanahin’ Andriamanitra no efa nanao ahy, ary ny fofonain’ ny Tsitoha no mamelona ahy.
5 So, answer [what] I [say] if you can; think carefully [about how you will reply to me].
Raha hainao, valio ary aho, miomàna ianao, ka miatreha tsara.
6 “God considers that you, and I are both [equal]; he formed both of us from clay.
Indro, izaho koa mba an’ Andriamanitra: tahaka anao ihany; Eny, izaho koa mba nosombinana avy tamin’ ny tanimanga.
7 So you do not need to be afraid of me; I will not crush/oppress you [by what I say] [MTY].
Indro, ny fampahatahorako tsy dia hampahatahotra anao, ary ny vesatra avy amiko tsy dia hitambesatra aminao.
8 I have heard you [DOU] speaking, and this is what you have said:
Efa nilaza teo anatrehako mihitsy ianao, ary efa reko ihany ny feon’ ny teninao hoe:
9 ‘I am innocent; I have not committed any sins; I am pure; I have not done things that are wrong.
Madio tsy manam-pahadisoana aho, ary tsy manan-tsiny aman-keloka;
10 But God finds reasons to accuse me, and he considers that I am his enemy.
He! mitady izay handrafiany ahy Andriamanitra, ary ataony fahavalony aho;
11 [It is as though] he has put my feet (in stocks/between wooden blocks to prevent me from walking away), and he watches everything that I do.’ [MTY]
Mampiditra ny tongotro eo amin’ ny boloky hazo Izy ary mitsikilo ny diako rehetra.
12 But what you have said is wrong, and I will tell you [what you have said that is wrong]. God is much greater than any human.
He! izany no tsy mahamarina anao, hoy izaho; Fa Andriamanitra dia lehibe loatra ka tsy leon’ ny zanak’ olombelona.
13 So, (why are you arguing against God, saying ‘He never answers my questions’?/you should not be arguing against God, saying ‘He never answers my questions.’) [RHQ]
Koa nahoana no manome tsiny Azy ianao noho ny tsy nampisehoany izay antony amin’ ny ataony?
14 God does speak [to us] in various ways, but we do not pay any attention to what he says.
Kanefa misy fanao iray itenenan’ Andriamanitra, eny, fanao roa aza, nefa tsy tandreman’ ny olona izany,
15 [Sometimes he speaks to us] at night in dreams and visions, when we are on our beds, asleep [DOU].
Dia ny nofy sy ny tsindrimandry amin’ ny alina, raha sondrian-tory ny olona ka renoka eo am-pandriana,
16 He reveals things [MTY] to us and terrifies us by the things he warns us about.
Dia manokatra ny sofin’ ny olona Izy ka manisy tombo-kase ny fananarany azy,
17 He tell us those things in order that we stop doing [evil] things and to prevent us from becoming proud.
Mba hampiala ny olona amin’ ny fanaony, sy hampifady azy ny fireharehana.
18 He does not want us to be destroyed [MTY]; he wants to prevent us from dying [MTY] [while we are still young].
Miaro ny fanahiny tsy ho any an-davaka Izy, ary ny ainy mba tsy ho voan’ ny fiadiana.
19 God also [sometimes] corrects us by forcing us to lie on our beds suffering much pain and with fever/aching in our bones.
Anarina amin’ ny fanaintainana eo am-pandriany koa izy sy amin’ ny fikotrankotran’ ny taolany lalandava;
20 The result is that we do not desire any food, not even very special food.
Ary ny ainy marikorikon-kanina, eny, na dia ny hanim-py aza tsy tian’ ny fanahiny.
21 Our bodies become very thin, with the result that we look like skeletons [HYP], and our bones stick out.
Mihena ny nofony ka tsy hita, ary mitranitrany ny taolany izay tsy hita teo;
22 [We know that] we will soon die and go to the place where dead people are.
Dia manakaiky ny lavaka ny fanahiny, ary ny ainy manatona ny mpaka aina.
23 “But sometimes an angel [may come to one of us], one of the thousands of angels who come to intervene between us and God, to tell us what are the right things for us [to do].
Raha misy Anjely ho Mpanalalana ho azy, iray amin’ ny arivo, hanoro izay tokony halehan’ ny olona,
24 The angel is kind to us and says to God, ‘Release that person, so that he does not descend to the place where dead people are! Do that because I have found the money to pay so that he can be released!
Ary hamindra fo aminy ka nanao hoe: Vonjeo izy mba tsy hidina any an-davaka, fa efa nahita avotra Aho,
25 Allow his body to be strong again; allow him to be strong like he was when he was a youth!’
Dia ho tsara noho ny an’ ny tanora ny nofony, hody ho toy ny tamin’ ny andro nahatanorany izy;
26 When that happens, that person will pray to God, and God will accept/answer him; he will (enter God’s presence/worship God) joyfully, and then he will tell others how God saved him [from dying].
Hivavaka amin’ Andriamanitra izy ka hankasitrahany ary hahita ny havany amin’ ny hafaliana, fa hampodiny amin’ ny zanak’ olombelona ny fahamarinany.
27 He will sing as he tells everyone, ‘I sinned, and I did things that were not right, but God did not punish me in the way that I deserved.
Dia hihira izy hilaza amin’ ny olona hoe: Efa nanota aho, fa nanao ny rariny ho heloka, kanefa tsy novaliana araka ny nataoko;
28 He has saved me from dying and going to the place where dead people are, and I will continue to enjoy being alive.’
Fa navotany ny fanahiko mba tsy hivarina any an-davaka, ary mifaly ny aiko amin’ ny fahitana ny mazava.
29 God does all these things for us many times;
Indro, izany rehetra izany no ataon’ Andriamanitra indroa amin’ ny olona, eny, intelo aza,
30 he keeps us [SYN] from [dying and] going to the place where the dead are, in order that we can continue to enjoy being alive [IDM].
Mba hamerina ny fanahiny tsy ho any an-davaka, mba hihazavany amin’ ny fahazavan’ aina.
31 So Job, listen to me; do not say anything more; just allow me to speak.
Tandremo, ry Joba, ka mihainoa ahy; Mangìna kely aloha ianao, fa izaho mbola hiteny.
32 [After I speak], if you have something more that you want to say to me, say it, because I would like to find a way to declare that you (are innocent/have not done what is wrong).
Raha manan-kavaly ianao, dia mamalia ahy ihany; Mitenena, fa ta-hanamarina anao aho;
33 But if you have nothing more that you want to say, then just listen to me, and I will teach you how to become wise.”
Fa raha tsy manan-kavaly ianao, dia mihainoa ahy kosa; Mangìna tsara, fa hampianariko fahendrena ianao.
