Joba 30
1 Fa ankehitriny kosa dia mihomehy ahy na dia izay tokon-jandriko aza, dia zanak’ ireo izay nolaviko tsy ho isan’ ny amboa miandry ny ondriko akory aza.
"But now those who are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to put with my sheep dogs.
2 Eny, mampaninona ahy ny herin’ ny tànan’ ireo. Izay efa very fahatanjahana?
Of what use is the strength of their hands to me, men in whom ripe age has perished?
3 Manjenjena noho ny tsi-fisian-kanina sy ny mosary izy; Homankomana foana any an-tany karankaina izy, dia eo an-katoky ny loza sy ny fandringanana.
They are gaunt from lack and famine. They gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of waste and desolation.
4 Mitsongo anambodihena eo amin’ ny kirihitrala izy, ary ny fakan’ ny anjavidy no fihinany.
They pluck salt herbs by the bushes. The roots of the broom are their food.
5 Roahina tsy ho eo amin’ ny olona izy sady akoraina toy ny mpangalatra.
They are driven out from the midst of men. They cry after them as after a thief;
6 Any an-dohasaha mahatsiravina no tsy maintsy itoerany, dia ao an-dava-tany sy an-dava-bato.
So that they dwell in frightful valleys, and in holes of the earth and of the rocks.
7 Minananana eny amin’ ny kirihitrala izy ary mitangorona eo ambanin’ ny amiana.
Among the bushes they bray; and under the nettles they are gathered together.
8 Zanaky ny adala izy sady zanaky ny tsy manan-kaja, ka roahina tsy ho eo amin’ ny tany.
They are children of fools, yes, children of base men. They were flogged out of the land.
9 Ary ankehitriny efa ataony an-kira aho. Eny, efa ambentinteniny aho.
"Now I have become their song. Yes, I am a byword to them.
10 Ataony toy ny zava-betaveta aho ka halaviriny, ary tsy menatra handrora ny tavako izy.
They abhor me, they keep their distance from me, and do not hesitate to spit in my face.
11 Fa noketrahin’ Andriamanitra ny kofehiko, ka nampietreny aho; Ka dia mba nesorin’ iretsy kosa teo anatrehako ny lamboridiny.
For he has untied his cord, and afflicted me; and they have thrown off restraint before me.
12 Misy androvolahy mitsangana eo ankavanako; Manosika ny tongotro hiala izy ary manandratra tovon-tany hampidirany loza amiko.
On my right hand rise the rabble. They thrust aside my feet, They cast up against me their ways of destruction.
13 Mandrava ny lalako sy manararaotra ny andravana ahy izy, nefa ny tenany tsy manan-kamonjy,
They mar my path, They set forward my calamity, without anyone's help.
14 Toy ny fiditra eo amin’ ny banga lehibe no fihaviny, ka avy ao amin’ ny voarava no imaonany.
As through a wide breach they come, in the midst of the ruin they roll themselves in.
15 Voatodika hamely ahy ny fampitahorana: Manenjika ny voninahitro tahaka ny rivotra izy, ka levona tahaka ny rahona ny famonjena ahy
Terrors have turned on me. They chase my honor as the wind. My welfare has passed away as a cloud.
16 Ary ankehitriny, raraka ato anatiko ny fanahiko. Fenjàn’ ny andro fahoriana aho.
"Now my soul is poured out within me. Days of affliction have taken hold on me.
17 Ny alina mampahalò ny taolako ho afaka amiko, ary tsy mitsahatra ireo manotahota ahy ireo.
In the night season my bones are pierced in me, and the pains that gnaw me take no rest.
18 Noho ny haben’ ny hery dia tonga tsy antonona ny akanjoko, manenda ahy tahaka ny vozon-dobaka izany.
By great force is my garment disfigured. It binds me about as the collar of my coat.
19 Eny, nanary ahy teo amin’ ny fotaka Izy, ka efa tahaka ny vovoka sy ny lavenona aho
He has cast me into the mire. I have become like dust and ashes.
20 Mitaraina aminao aho, nefa tsy mihaino ahy Hianao; Mijoro eo aho, nefa ierenao foana.
I cry to you, and you do not answer me. I stand up, and you gaze at me.
21 Efa manjary lozabe amiko Hianao; Ny herin’ ny tananao no andrafianao ahy.
You have turned to be cruel to me. With the might of your hand you persecute me.
22 Aingainao ho eny amin’ ny rivotra aho ka alefanao handeha, ary levoninao amin’ ny tafio-drivotra mifofofofo ho tsinontsinona aho.
You lift me up to the wind, and drive me with it. You dissolve me in the storm.
23 Fa fantatro fa hampodinao any amin’ ny fahafatesana aho, dia any amin’ ny trano fivorian’ ny olombelona rehetra.
For I know that you will bring me to death, To the house appointed for all living.
24 Kanefa tsy manainga ny tànany va ny olona, raha ianjeran’ ny rava? Ary tsy mitaraina va izy, raha tratry ny loza?
"However doesn't one stretch out a hand in his fall? Or in his calamity therefore cry for help?
25 Tsy nitomany ny ory va aho? Tsy nangorakoraka ny malahelo va ny fanahiko?
Did I not weep for him who was in trouble? Wasn't my soul grieved for the needy?
26 Fa niandry ny soa aho, kanjo tonga ny ratsy; Ary nanantena ny mazava aho, kanjo avy ny maizina.
When I looked for good, then evil came; When I waited for light, there came darkness.
27 Nandevilevy ny tsinaiko ka tsy nanam-pitsaharana; Nitsena ahy ny andro fahoriana.
My heart is troubled, and doesn't rest. Days of affliction have come on me.
28 Mitsaitsaika mitafy lamba fisaonana aho sady tsy mahita masoandro; Mitsangana aho ka mitaraina eo ampivorian’ ny olona.
I go mourning without the sun. I stand up in the assembly, and cry for help.
29 Rahalahin’ ny amboadia aho Ary naman’ ny ostritsa.
I am a brother to jackals, and a companion to ostriches.
30 Efa mainty ny hoditro sady miendakendaka, ary efa karankaina noho ny hafanana ny taolako.
My skin grows black and peels from me. My bones are burned with heat.
31 Nanjary fisaonana ny lokangako. Ary feon’ ny mitomany ny sodiko.
Therefore my harp has turned to mourning, and my pipe into the voice of those who weep.
