Job 24
1 Wherefore from the Mighty One Times have not been hidden, And those knowing Him have not seen His days.
Nahoana no tsy misy fotoan’ andro voatendrin’ ny Tsitoha, ary nahoana no tsy hitan’ ny mahalala Azy izany androny Izany?
2 The borders they reach, A drove they have taken violently away, Yea, they do evil.
Misy mamindra fari-tany sy mangalatra omby aman’ ondry sady miandry azy.
3 The ass of the fatherless they lead away, They take in pledge the ox of the widow,
Mandroaka ny borikin’ ny kamboty izy, ary maka ny ombin’ ny mpitondratena ho tsatòka.
4 They turn aside the needy from the way, Together have hid the poor of the earth.
Manosika ny mahantra hiala amin’ ny lalana izy, ka dia miery azy avokoa ny malahelo amin’ ny tany.
5 Lo, wild asses in a wilderness, They have gone out about their work, Seeking early for prey, A mixture for himself — food for young ones.
Indro, tahaka ny fivoaky ny boriki-dia any an-efitra no fivoak’ ireny ho amin’ ny asany hiremby; Ny tani-hay no ahazoany hanina ho an’ ny zanany.
6 In a field his provender they reap, And the vineyard of the wicked they glean.
Any an-tsaha izy maka vilona sy mitsimpontsimpona ny voaloboky ny ratsy fanahy.
7 The naked they cause to lodge Without clothing. And there is no covering in the cold.
Mandry mitanjaka amin’ ny alina izy, satria tsy manan-damba, ka dia tsy manana firakotra amin’ ny hatsiaka;
8 From the inundation of hills they are wet, And without a refuge — have embraced a rock.
Kotsan’ ny ranonoram-baratra any an-tendrombohitra izy, ka mitampisaka amin’ ny vatolampy, fa tsy manam-pialofana.
9 They take violently away From the breast the orphan, And on the poor they lay a pledge.
Misarika ny kamboty eo am-pinonoana izy ary maka tsatòka amin’ ny ory.
10 Naked, they have gone without clothing, And hungry — have taken away a sheaf.
Mandeha mitsaitsaika ireo, fa mitanjaka tsy manan-kitafy, ary noana eo am-pitondrana ny amboaram-bary.
11 Between their walls they make oil, Wine-presses they have trodden, and thirst.
Manao diloilo eo anatin’ ny tambohon’ ny mpampahory azy izy; Ary manosihosy ny famiazam-boaloboka izy, nefa mangetaheta ihany.
12 Because of enmity men do groan, And the soul of pierced ones doth cry, And God doth not give praise.
Mitrona ny lehilahy ao an-tanana, ary mitaraina ny fanahin’ ny voalefona; Nefa tsy ahoan’ Andriamanitra akory ny ratsy atao.
13 They have been among rebellious ones of light, They have not discerned His ways, Nor abode in His paths.
Ireny no mpikomy amin’ ny mazava; Tsy mba mihevitra ny lalany izy, na mitoetra eo amin’ ny alehany.
14 At the light doth the murderer rise, He doth slay the poor and needy, And in the night he is as a thief.
Raha vao mangiran-dratsy, dia mifoha ny mpamono olona; Mamono ny ory sy ny malahelo izy, ary nony alina, dia tahaka ny mpangalatra.
15 And the eye of an adulterer Hath observed the twilight, Saying, 'No eye doth behold me.' And he putteth the face in secret.
Ny mason’ ny mpijangajanga miandry ny maizimaizina, ka hoy izy: Tsy misy hahalala ahy ka dia manao very maso izy.
16 He hath dug in the darkness — houses; By day they shut themselves up, They have not known light.
Misy manamy trano nony maizina; Nefa nony antoandro dia miery izy; Tsy mahalala ny mazava izy;
17 When together, morning [is] to them death shade, When he discerneth the terrors of death shade.
Fa ny aizim-pito no marainan’ ireo rehetra ireo; Satria efa mahazatra azy ny fampahatahoran’ ny aizim-pito izy.
18 Light he [is] on the face of the waters, Vilified is their portion in the earth, He turneth not the way of vineyards.
Mitsinkafona paohin’ ny rano izy; Voaozona ny anjarany eo amin’ ny tany; Tsy mivily ho amin’ ny lalana mankeny amin’ ny tanim-boaloboka izy.
Toy ny andevonan’ ny maina sy ny mafana ny ranom-panala no andevonan’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita ny mpanota. (Sheol h7585)
20 Forget him doth the womb, Sweeten [on] him doth the worm, No more is he remembered, And broken as a tree is wickedness.
Manadino azy ny vohoka; manjary hanim-py ho an’ ny olitra izy ka tsy tsarovana intsony; Ary tapaka tahaka ny hazo ny ratsy fanahy,
21 Treating evil the barren [who] beareth not, And [to] the widow he doth no good,
Dia ilay nandroba ny momba izay tsy niteraka ary tsy nanisy soa ny mpitondratena.
22 And hath drawn the mighty by his power, He riseth, and none believeth in life.
Kanefa halavain’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny heriny ny andron’ ny olo-mahery; Mitsangana indray ireo, na dia tsy nanampo izay ho velona intsony aza.
23 He giveth to him confidence, and he is supported, And his eyes [are] on their ways.
Ataony mandry fahizay sy tsara tohana izy, sady tsinjoviny mandrakariva ny lalany.
24 High they were [for] a little, and they are not, And they have been brought low. As all [others] they are shut up, And as the head of an ear of corn cut off.
Nasandratra izy, kanjo vetivety dia tsy ao intsony, dia mihalevona izy ka otazana tahaka ny olona rehetra, ary tangosana tahaka ny salohim-bary.
25 And if not now, who doth prove me a liar, And doth make of nothing my word?
Raha tsy izany, dia aoka hisy hamaky lainga ahy ka hampiseho ny teniko ho tsinontsinona.
