Job 24
1 Wherefore from the Mighty One Times have not been hidden, And those knowing Him have not seen His days.
Tsy mikafitse amy El-Sadai o sa-o, Akore te tsy mahaoniñe o andro’eo o mahafohiñe azeo?
2 The borders they reach, A drove they have taken violently away, Yea, they do evil.
Ao ty mameve vorovoro: ie mitavañe naho mampibotseke lia-raike.
3 The ass of the fatherless they lead away, They take in pledge the ox of the widow,
Roahe’ iareo añe ty borìkem-bode-rae, vaho rambese’ iereo ho tsoake ty vosi’ i vantotsey.
4 They turn aside the needy from the way, Together have hid the poor of the earth.
Ampisitahe’ iereo amy lalañey ty poie’e; mitrao-pietake o rarake an-tane atoio.
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.
Hehe te hoe borìke-ly an-dratraratra añe ty irembea’ iareo mitsindroke; hera hamahan-kaneñe amo ana’eo ty fatrambey.
6 In a field his provender they reap, And the vineyard of the wicked they glean.
Tatahe’ iereo ze haneñe an-kivok’ ao, vaho timpone’ iereo ty an-tanem-bahen-do-tserek’ ao.
7 The naked they cause to lodge Without clothing. And there is no covering in the cold.
Miboridañe t’ie mialeñe, tsy aman-tsaroñe, tsy amam-bodo amy hanintsiñey.
8 From the inundation of hills they are wet, And without a refuge — have embraced a rock.
Len-oram-bohitse iereo, vihineñe ty lamilamy amy t’ie tsy amam-pipalirañe.
9 They take violently away From the breast the orphan, And on the poor they lay a pledge.
Eo ty mitavam-bode-rae am-patroa vaho andrambesan-tsoak’ ty rarake.
10 Naked, they have gone without clothing, And hungry — have taken away a sheaf.
Ampandenàñe tsy aman-tsikiñe ty miboridañe, tavane’ iareo ty taho’ o salikoeñeo,
11 Between their walls they make oil, Wine-presses they have trodden, and thirst.
ie mamboatse menake an-kijoly ao; mandia am-piriritan-divay, f’ie maran-drano.
12 Because of enmity men do groan, And the soul of pierced ones doth cry, And God doth not give praise.
Miñeoñeoñe an-drova ao ondatio, mikoiake ty fiai’ o fereo; f’ie tsy anesehan’ Añahare hagegeañe.
13 They have been among rebellious ones of light, They have not discerned His ways, Nor abode in His paths.
Mpiamo mpiola amo hazavàñeo, tsy fohi’ iareo o sata’eo, tsy imoneña’ iareo o lala’eo.
14 At the light doth the murderer rise, He doth slay the poor and needy, And in the night he is as a thief.
Mitroatse te mazava i mpañoho-dozay, hanjevoa’e o rarakeo naho o poie’eo, ie haleñe manao malaso.
15 And the eye of an adulterer Hath observed the twilight, Saying, 'No eye doth behold me.' And he putteth the face in secret.
Mandiñe mielizava ty masom-panao havambañe, hoe re: tsy honiñam-pihaino, mbore honohonoe’e ty tarehe’e.
16 He hath dug in the darkness — houses; By day they shut themselves up, They have not known light.
Ie añ’ieñe ro mampigorabak’ anjomba, antoandro migabeñe ao: tsy fohi’ iereo ty hazavàñe.
17 When together, morning [is] to them death shade, When he discerneth the terrors of death shade.
Talinjom-piantantiritse ama’e ty maraindray: mahazats’ aze ty fampangebahebahan- kamoromoroñañe.
18 Light he [is] on the face of the waters, Vilified is their portion in the earth, He turneth not the way of vineyards.
Vore mikafo an-drano eo iereo; fatra an-tane ty anjara’e, tsy itsileañe ty mb’an-tanem-bahe’e.
Mamotseke ranom-panala ty tariñandroke naho ty hain-tane: Izay ka ty kibory amo manan-tahiñeo. (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.
Handikok’ aze i hoviñey; an-kaehake ty fihinanan’ oletse aze ampara’ te tsy tiahy ka: ie pozaheñe hoe hatae i lo-tserekey.
21 Treating evil the barren [who] beareth not, And [to] the widow he doth no good,
Joie’e i betsiterakey, tsy soa’e ty vantotse.
22 And hath drawn the mighty by his power, He riseth, and none believeth in life.
Kozozote’e amañ-ozatse ty fanalolahy; mitroatse re le iatoa’ ia ty havelo’e.
23 He giveth to him confidence, and he is supported, And his eyes [are] on their ways.
Tolora’e fañarovañe, le iatoa’iareo; mbore jilove’e o lala’iareoo.
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.
Onjoneñe betebeteke iereo, naho mifiotse añe; afotsake naho atontoñe ao manahake o ila’e iabio; vaho miheatse hoe t’ie lengom-boto-tsako.
25 And if not now, who doth prove me a liar, And doth make of nothing my word?
Aa naho tsy Izay, ia ty hamente t’ie mavande hampikoake i entakoy?
