Joba 24
1 Nahoana no tsy misy fotoan’ andro voatendrin’ ny Tsitoha, ary nahoana no tsy hitan’ ny mahalala Azy izany androny Izany?
Howe should not the times be hid from the Almightie, seeing that they which knowe him, see not his dayes?
2 Misy mamindra fari-tany sy mangalatra omby aman’ ondry sady miandry azy.
Some remoue the land marks, that rob the flockes and feede thereof.
3 Mandroaka ny borikin’ ny kamboty izy, ary maka ny ombin’ ny mpitondratena ho tsatòka.
They leade away the asse of the fatherles: and take the widowes oxe to pledge.
4 Manosika ny mahantra hiala amin’ ny lalana izy, ka dia miery azy avokoa ny malahelo amin’ ny tany.
They make the poore to turne out of the way, so that the poore of the earth hide themselues together.
5 Indro, tahaka ny fivoaky ny boriki-dia any an-efitra no fivoak’ ireny ho amin’ ny asany hiremby; Ny tani-hay no ahazoany hanina ho an’ ny zanany.
Behold, others as wilde asses in the wildernesse, goe forth to their businesse, and rise early for a praye: the wildernesse giueth him and his children foode.
6 Any an-tsaha izy maka vilona sy mitsimpontsimpona ny voaloboky ny ratsy fanahy.
They reape his prouision in the fielde, but they gather the late vintage of the wicked.
7 Mandry mitanjaka amin’ ny alina izy, satria tsy manan-damba, ka dia tsy manana firakotra amin’ ny hatsiaka;
They cause the naked to lodge without garment, and without couering in the colde.
8 Kotsan’ ny ranonoram-baratra any an-tendrombohitra izy, ka mitampisaka amin’ ny vatolampy, fa tsy manam-pialofana.
They are wet with the showres of the moutaines, and they imbrace the rocke for want of a couering.
9 Misarika ny kamboty eo am-pinonoana izy ary maka tsatòka amin’ ny ory.
They plucke the fatherles from the breast, and take the pledge of the poore.
10 Mandeha mitsaitsaika ireo, fa mitanjaka tsy manan-kitafy, ary noana eo am-pitondrana ny amboaram-bary.
They cause him to go naked without clothing, and take the glening from the hungrie.
11 Manao diloilo eo anatin’ ny tambohon’ ny mpampahory azy izy; Ary manosihosy ny famiazam-boaloboka izy, nefa mangetaheta ihany.
They that make oyle betweene their walles, and treade their wine presses, suffer thirst.
12 Mitrona ny lehilahy ao an-tanana, ary mitaraina ny fanahin’ ny voalefona; Nefa tsy ahoan’ Andriamanitra akory ny ratsy atao.
Men cry out of the citie, and the soules of the slayne cry out: yet God doth not charge them with follie.
13 Ireny no mpikomy amin’ ny mazava; Tsy mba mihevitra ny lalany izy, na mitoetra eo amin’ ny alehany.
These are they, that abhorre the light: they know not the wayes thereof, nor continue in the paths thereof.
14 Raha vao mangiran-dratsy, dia mifoha ny mpamono olona; Mamono ny ory sy ny malahelo izy, ary nony alina, dia tahaka ny mpangalatra.
The murtherer riseth earely and killeth the poore and the needie: and in the night he is as a theefe.
15 Ny mason’ ny mpijangajanga miandry ny maizimaizina, ka hoy izy: Tsy misy hahalala ahy ka dia manao very maso izy.
The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, and sayth, None eye shall see me, and disguiseth his face.
16 Misy manamy trano nony maizina; Nefa nony antoandro dia miery izy; Tsy mahalala ny mazava izy;
They digge through houses in the darke, which they marked for themselues in the daye: they knowe not the light.
17 Fa ny aizim-pito no marainan’ ireo rehetra ireo; Satria efa mahazatra azy ny fampahatahoran’ ny aizim-pito izy.
But the morning is euen to them as the shadow of death: if one knowe them, they are in the terrours of the shadowe of death.
18 Mitsinkafona paohin’ ny rano izy; Voaozona ny anjarany eo amin’ ny tany; Tsy mivily ho amin’ ny lalana mankeny amin’ ny tanim-boaloboka izy.
He is swift vpon the waters: their portion shalbe cursed in the earth: he will not behold the way of the vineyardes.
19 Toy ny andevonan’ ny maina sy ny mafana ny ranom-panala no andevonan’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita ny mpanota. (Sheol h7585)
As the dry ground and heate consume the snowe waters, so shall the graue the sinners. (Sheol h7585)
20 Manadino azy ny vohoka; manjary hanim-py ho an’ ny olitra izy ka tsy tsarovana intsony; Ary tapaka tahaka ny hazo ny ratsy fanahy,
The pitifull man shall forget him: the worme shall feele his sweetenes: he shalbe no more remembered, and the wicked shalbe broke like a tree.
21 Dia ilay nandroba ny momba izay tsy niteraka ary tsy nanisy soa ny mpitondratena.
He doth euil intreat ye barren, that doeth not beare, neither doeth he good to the widowe.
22 Kanefa halavain’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny heriny ny andron’ ny olo-mahery; Mitsangana indray ireo, na dia tsy nanampo izay ho velona intsony aza.
He draweth also the mighty by his power, and when he riseth vp, none is sure of life.
23 Ataony mandry fahizay sy tsara tohana izy, sady tsinjoviny mandrakariva ny lalany.
Though men giue him assurance to be in safetie, yet his eyes are vpon their wayes.
24 Nasandratra izy, kanjo vetivety dia tsy ao intsony, dia mihalevona izy ka otazana tahaka ny olona rehetra, ary tangosana tahaka ny salohim-bary.
They are exalted for a litle, but they are gone, and are brought lowe as all others: they are destroyed, and cut off as the toppe of an eare of corne.
25 Raha tsy izany, dia aoka hisy hamaky lainga ahy ka hampiseho ny teniko ho tsinontsinona.
But if it be not so, where is he? or who wil proue me a lyer, and make my words of no value?
