Joba 18
1 Dia namaly Bildada Sohita ka nanao hoe:
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2 Mandra-pahoviana no hamandrika teny ianareo? Mba hendre aloha, dia vao hiteny izahay.
How long will it be before you make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
3 Sao ataonareo ho biby anie izahay ka tahaka ny maloto eo imasonareo?
Why are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?
4 Ry ilay mamiravira tena amin’ ny fahatezerana, noho ny aminao va no hahatonga ny tany ho lao, ary ny vatolampy hafindra hiala amin’ ny fitoerany?
He tears himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for you? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
5 Tsy izany, fa ho faty ny jiron’ ny ratsy fanahy, ary hilopilopy ny lelafony;
Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
6 Ny mazava manjary maizina ao amin’ ny lainy, ary ny jirony eo amboniny dia maty.
The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.
7 Etena ny herin’ ny diany, ary ny fisainany ihany no mandavo azy.
The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
8 Fa ny tongony ihany no mahatonga azy eo amin’ ny fandrika harato, ka manitsaka eo amin’ ny harato izy;
For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walks on a snare.
9 Azon’ ny fandrika ny ombelahin-tongony ary voahazon’ ny tadivavarana
The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.
10 Miafina ao amin’ ny tany ny fandrika haningotra azy sy ny tonta eny an-dalana.
The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
11 Fampitahorana no mampitahotra azy manodidina ka mampivadi-po azy eny amin’ ny alehany rehetra.
Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
12 Liana azy ny loza, ary ny fandringanana dia vonona eo anilany;
His strength shall be extremely hungry, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
13 Eny, laniny tsikelikely ny hodiny; ny momba ny tenany dia lanin’ ny lahimatoan’ ny fahafatesana.
It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
14 Ongotana hiala amin’ ny lainy ny zavatra itokiany, ka tsy maintsy ho entina ho amin’ ilay mpanjaka mampahatahotra indrindra izy.
His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
15 Izay tsy taranany no hitoetra ao amin’ ny lainy; Solifara no hafafy amin’ ny fonenany.
It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered on his habitation.
16 Maina ny fakany ao ambany, ary tapaka ny rantsany eo ambony.
His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
17 Ny fahatsiarovana azy dia very tsy ho eo amin’ ny tany. Ary tsy malaza eny ivelany izy.
His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
18 Roahina hiala amin’ ny mazava ho any amin’ ny maizina izy ary enjehina hiala amin’ izao tontolo izao.
He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
19 Tsy manana fara mandimby eo amin’ ny fireneny izy, ka tsy misy tsy tratry ny loza ny ao amin’ ny fonenany.
He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
20 Ny manjo azy dia italanjonan’ ny any andrefana, ary ny any atsinanana raiki-tahotra.
They that come after him shall be astonished at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.
21 Izany tokoa no anjaran’ ny ratsy fanahy, ary izany no manjo ny tsy mahalala an’ Andriamanitra.
Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knows not God.
