Joba 18
1 Dia namaly Bildada Sohita ka nanao hoe:
Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
2 Mandra-pahoviana no hamandrika teny ianareo? Mba hendre aloha, dia vao hiteny izahay.
"How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
3 Sao ataonareo ho biby anie izahay ka tahaka ny maloto eo imasonareo?
Why are we counted as animals, which have become unclean 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?
You who tear yourself in your anger, shall the earth be forsaken for you? Or shall the rock be removed out of its 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, 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 tent. His lamp above him shall be put out.
7 Etena ny herin’ ny diany, ary ny fisainany ihany no mandavo azy.
The steps of his strength shall be shortened. 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 wanders into its mesh.
9 Azon’ ny fandrika ny ombelahin-tongony ary voahazon’ ny tadivavarana
A snare will take him by the heel. A trap will catch him.
10 Miafina ao amin’ ny tany ny fandrika haningotra azy sy ny tonta eny an-dalana.
A noose is hidden for him in the ground, 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 chase him at his heels.
12 Liana azy ny loza, ary ny fandringanana dia vonona eo anilany;
His strength shall be famished. Calamity shall be ready at his side.
13 Eny, laniny tsikelikely ny hodiny; ny momba ny tenany dia lanin’ ny lahimatoan’ ny fahafatesana.
The members of his body shall be devoured. The firstborn of death shall devour his members.
14 Ongotana hiala amin’ ny lainy ny zavatra itokiany, ka tsy maintsy ho entina ho amin’ ilay mpanjaka mampahatahotra indrindra izy.
He shall be rooted out of his tent where he trusts. He shall be brought to the king of terrors.
15 Izay tsy taranany no hitoetra ao amin’ ny lainy; Solifara no hafafy amin’ ny fonenany.
There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Sulfur 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. 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 memory shall perish from the earth. 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 have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining where he sojourned.
20 Ny manjo azy dia italanjonan’ ny any andrefana, ary ny any atsinanana raiki-tahotra.
Those who come after shall be astonished at his day, as those who went before were frightened.
21 Izany tokoa no anjaran’ ny ratsy fanahy, ary izany no manjo ny tsy mahalala an’ Andriamanitra.
Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous. This is the place of him who doesn't know God."
