Joba 10
1 Maharikoriko ahy ny aiko; Hamoaka ny fitarainako aho sy hiteny noho ny fangidian’ ny fanahiko
My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint on myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 Hanao amin’ Andriamanitra hoe aho: Aza manameloka ahy; Mba ampahalalao izay anton’ ny iadianao amiko aho.
I will say to God, Do not condemn me; show me why you contend with me.
3 Mahafaly Anao va ny hampahory sy hanary ny efa nisasaranao ka hamirapiratra amin’ ny fisainan’ ny ratsy fanahy?
Is it good to you that you should oppress, that you should despise the work of your hands, and shine on the counsel of the wicked?
4 Manana maso nofo va Hianao? Na mijery tahaka ny fijerin’ ny zanak’ olombelona?
Have you eyes of flesh? or see you as man sees?
5 Tahaka ny andron’ ny zanak’ olombelona va ny andronao? Na tahaka ny taonan’ ny olombelona ny taonanao,
Are your days as the days of man? are your years as man’s days,
6 No dia mikaroka izay heloko Hianao sy mikatsaka izay fahotako,
That you enquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin?
7 Na dia fantatrao aza fa tsy mba ratsy fanahy aho, ary tsy misy mahavonjy amin’ ny tananao?
You know that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of your hand.
8 Ny tananao ihany no namorona ahy ka nanisy endrika izao tenako rehetra izao, kanjo levoninao indray aho izao.
Your hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet you do destroy me.
9 Masìna Hianao, tsarovy fa notefenao toy ny tanimanga aho, ka hamerina ahy amin’ ny vovoka indray Hianao!
Remember, I beseech you, that you have made me as the clay; and will you bring me into dust again?
10 Tsy naidinao toy ny ronono va aho ka nampandrinao toy ny ronono-mandry?
Have you not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
11 Eny, notafianao hoditra sy nofo aho ary norarinao tamin’ ny taolana sy ny ozatra.
You have clothed me with skin and flesh, and have fenced me with bones and sinews.
12 Aina sy famindram-po no nomenao ahy; Ary ny fiahianao no niaro ny aiko.
You have granted me life and favor, and your visitation has preserved my spirit.
13 Saingy izao no nafeninao tao am-ponao, eny, fantatro fa tao aminao izao:
And these things have you hid in your heart: I know that this is with you.
14 Raha manota aho, dia mamantatra ahy Hianao ka tsy manafaka ahy amin’ ny heloko.
If I sin, then you mark me, and you will not acquit me from my iniquity.
15 Raha meloka aho, dia lozako! Ary na dia marina aza aho, dia tsy ho sahy miandrandra, satria feno henatra sady mahatsiaro fahoriana aho.
If I be wicked, woe to me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see you my affliction;
16 Fa raha sahy miandrandra aho, dia hihaza ahy tahaka ny liona masiaka Hianao; Ary hiverina indray Hianao, ka ho mahagaga ny famelinao ahy.
For it increases. You hunt me as a fierce lion: and again you show yourself marvelous on me.
17 Mbola hanangana vavolombelona vaovao mandrakariva hanameloka ahy Hianao sy hampitombo ny fahatezeranao amiko; Fahavalo mifanontona no mamely ahy.
You renew your witnesses against me, and increase your indignation on me; changes and war are against me.
18 Ka nahoana no namoaka ahy foana avy tany am-bohoka Hianao? Fa raha tsy izany, dia ho niala aina aho, ka tsy mba nisy maso nahita ahy akory.
Why then have you brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
19 Ary efa toy ny tsy ary aho. Ka nentina avy tany an-kibo ho any am-pasana.
I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20 Tsy vitsy va ny androko? Koa mitsahara Hianao, mihataha mba hakako aina kely,
Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
21 Dieny tsy mbola lasa tsy hiverina aho, dia ho any amin’ ny tanin’ ny aizina sy ny aloky ny fahafatesana,
Before I go from where I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
22 Ho any amin’ ny tany maizim-pito, dia ny an’ ny aloky ny fahafatesana sy ny fikorontanana, sady maizim-pito ny famirapiratana any.
A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
