Joba 10
1 Maharikoriko ahy ny aiko; Hamoaka ny fitarainako aho sy hiteny noho ny fangidian’ ny fanahiko
Weary in my soul, I will pour my words with groans upon him: I will speak being straitened in the bitterness of my soul.
2 Hanao amin’ Andriamanitra hoe aho: Aza manameloka ahy; Mba ampahalalao izay anton’ ny iadianao amiko aho.
And I will say to the Lord, Do not teach me to be impious; and therefore have you thus judged me?
3 Mahafaly Anao va ny hampahory sy hanary ny efa nisasaranao ka hamirapiratra amin’ ny fisainan’ ny ratsy fanahy?
Is it good before you if I be unrighteous? for you have disowned the work of your hands, and attended to the counsel of the ungodly.
4 Manana maso nofo va Hianao? Na mijery tahaka ny fijerin’ ny zanak’ olombelona?
Or do you see as a mortal sees? or will you look as a man sees?
5 Tahaka ny andron’ ny zanak’ olombelona va ny andronao? Na tahaka ny taonan’ ny olombelona ny taonanao,
Or is your life human, or your years [the years] of a man,
6 No dia mikaroka izay heloko Hianao sy mikatsaka izay fahotako,
that you have enquired into mine iniquity, and searched out my sins?
7 Na dia fantatrao aza fa tsy mba ratsy fanahy aho, ary tsy misy mahavonjy amin’ ny tananao?
For you know that I have not committed iniquity: but who is he that can deliver out of your hands?
8 Ny tananao ihany no namorona ahy ka nanisy endrika izao tenako rehetra izao, kanjo levoninao indray aho izao.
Your hands have formed me and made me; afterwards you did change [your mind], and strike me.
9 Masìna Hianao, tsarovy fa notefenao toy ny tanimanga aho, ka hamerina ahy amin’ ny vovoka indray Hianao!
Remember that you have made me [as] clay, and you do turn me again to earth.
10 Tsy naidinao toy ny ronono va aho ka nampandrinao toy ny ronono-mandry?
Hast you not poured me out like milk, and curdled me like cheese?
11 Eny, notafianao hoditra sy nofo aho ary norarinao tamin’ ny taolana sy ny ozatra.
And you did clothe me with skin and flesh, and frame me with bones and sinews.
12 Aina sy famindram-po no nomenao ahy; Ary ny fiahianao no niaro ny aiko.
And you did bestow upon me life and mercy, and your oversight has preserved my spirit.
13 Saingy izao no nafeninao tao am-ponao, eny, fantatro fa tao aminao izao:
Having these things in yourself, I know that you can do all things; for nothing is impossible with you.
14 Raha manota aho, dia mamantatra ahy Hianao ka tsy manafaka ahy amin’ ny heloko.
And if I should sin, you watch me; and you have not cleared me from 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.
Or if I should be ungodly, woe is me: and if I should be righteous, I can’t lift myself up, for I am full of dishonor.
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 I am hunted like a lion for slaughter; for again you have changed and are terribly destroying me;
17 Mbola hanangana vavolombelona vaovao mandrakariva hanameloka ahy Hianao sy hampitombo ny fahatezeranao amiko; Fahavalo mifanontona no mamely ahy.
renewing against me my torture: and you have dealt with me in great anger, and you have brought trials upon 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 did you bring me out of the womb? and why did I not die, and no eye see me,
19 Ary efa toy ny tsy ary aho. Ka nentina avy tany an-kibo ho any am-pasana.
and I become as if I had not been? for why was I not carried from the womb to the grave?
20 Tsy vitsy va ny androko? Koa mitsahara Hianao, mihataha mba hakako aina kely,
Is not the time of my life short? suffer me to rest 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 whence I shall not return, to a land of darkness and gloominess;
22 Ho any amin’ ny tany maizim-pito, dia ny an’ ny aloky ny fahafatesana sy ny fikorontanana, sady maizim-pito ny famirapiratana any.
to a land of perpetual darkness, where there is no light, neither [can any one] see the life of mortals.
