Job 35
1 And Elihu answereth and saith: —
Ary mbola niteny ihany Eliho ka nanao hoe:
2 This hast thou reckoned for judgment: Thou hast said — 'My righteousness [is] more than God's?'
Ataonao va fa marina ny nanaovanao hoe: Ny fahamarinako mihoatra noho ny an’ Andriamanitra?
3 For thou sayest, 'What doth it profit Thee! What do I profit from my sin?'
Fa hoy ianao: Mahasoa ahy manao ahoana moa? Ary inona no soa azoko mihoatra noho ny avy amin’ ny fahotako?
4 I return thee words, and thy friends with thee,
Izaho no hiteny hamaly anao Mbamin’ ny namanao.
5 Behold attentively the heavens — and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than thou.
Jereo ary ny lanitra ka izahao; Ary tsinjovy iry habakabaka, avo loatra iny ka tsy takatrao.
6 If thou hast sinned, what dost thou against Him? And thy transgressions have been multiplied, What dost thou to Him?
Raha manota ianao, moa mahefa inona aminy? Ary raha maro ny fahotanao, mampaninona Azy moa izany?
7 If thou hast been righteous, What dost thou give to Him? Or what from thy hand doth He receive?
Raha marina ianao, dia hahazoany inona moa izany? Na inona no horaisiny avy amin’ ny tananao?
8 For a man like thyself [is] thy wickedness, And for a son of man thy righteousness.
Mihatra amin’ ny olona tahaka anao ihany ny ratsy ataonao; Ary mihatra amin’ ny olombelona ihany ny fahamarinanao.
9 Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because of the arm of the mighty.
Noho ny habiazan’ ny fampahoriana no itarainan’ ny olona; Eny, minananana izy noho ny sandrin’ ny mahery,
10 And none said, 'Where [is] God my maker? Giving songs in the night,
Nefa tsy misy manao hoe: Aiza Andriamanitra, Mpanao ahy, Izay mahatonga fiderana amin’ ny alina,
11 Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Yea, than the fowl of the heavens He maketh us wiser.'
Izay manome fahalalana antsika mihoatra noho ny an’ ny biby ambonin’ ny tany, dia Izay manome fahendrena antsika mihoatra noho ny an’ ny voro-manidina?
12 There they cry, and He doth not answer, Because of the pride of evil doers.
Eny, mitaraina mafy ireo (fa tsy mamaly Izy) noho ny fireharehan’ ny ratsy fanahy.
13 Surely vanity God doth not hear, And the Mighty doth not behold it.
Ny fitarainam-poana dia tsy mba henoin’ Andriamanitra, ary ny Tsitoha tsy mandinika izany.
14 Yea, though thou sayest thou dost not behold Him, Judgment [is] before Him, and stay for Him.
Na dia lazainao fa tsy mahita azy aza ianao, efa mby eo anatrehany ny ady, koa tsy maintsy miandry Azy ianao.
15 And, now, because there is not, He hath appointed His anger, And He hath not known in great extremity.
Koa raha saingy tsy mihatra ny fahatezerany, moa dia tsy fantany tsara koa va ny fihaikana?
16 And Job [with] vanity doth open his mouth, Without knowledge words he multiplieth.
Mba miloa-bava foana anefa Joba ary manao teny maro tsy amim-pahalalana.
