Joba 32

1 Ary nitsahatra tsy namaly intsony izy telo lahy ireo, satria nanamarin-tena Joba.

So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he [was] righteous in his own eyes.

2 Ary nirehitra kosa ny fahatezeran’ i Eliho, zanak’ i Barakela, Bozita, avy amin’ ny fokon’ i Rama; eny, tamin’ i Joba no nirehetan’ ny fahatezerany, satria nanao ny tenany ho marina noho Andriamanitra izy.

Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.

3 Ary tamin’ ny sakaizany telo lahy koa no nirehetan’ ny fahatezerany, satria tsy nahita teny havaliny izy ireo, kanefa nanameloka an’ i Joba.

Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and [yet] had condemned Job.

4 Ary Eliho mbola niandry an-dr’ i Joba aloha vao niteny, fa ireo no ela niainana kokoa noho izy.

Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken because they [were] older than he.

5 Ary rehefa hitany fa tsy nanan-kavaly izy telo lahy, dia nirehitra ny fahatezerany;

When Elihu saw that [there was] no answer in the mouth of [these] three men, then his wrath was kindled.

6 ka dia niteny Eliho, zanak’ i Barakela, Bozita, ka nanao hoe: Mbola tanora aho, fa ianareo kosa efa fotsy volo, koa dia niaoriandriana aho aloha, fa tsy sahy nanambara aminareo izay fantatro.

And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I [am] young, and ye [are] very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not show you my opinion.

7 Hoy izaho: Aoka ny fahanterana no hiteny, ary aoka ny hamaroan’ ny taona no hampianatra fahendrena.

I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.

8 Kanefa ny fanahy izay ao anatin’ ny zanak’ olombelona sy ny fofonoin’ ny Tsitoha no mahahendry azy.

But [there is] a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

9 Tsy dia ny fahalehibiazana no mahahendry, ary tsy dia ny fahanterana no ahalalana ny rariny;

Great men are not [always] wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.

10 Ary noho izany dia hoy izaho: Aoka samy hihaino ahy; Izaho koa mba hanambara izay fantatro.

Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will show my opinion.

11 Indro, niandry ny teninareo aho, ary nandinika ny teny nalahatrareo, mandra-pihevitrareo izay holazaina;

Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.

12 Eny, nihaino dia nihaino anareo aho, fa he! tsy nisy naharesy lahatra an’ i Joba ianareo, na nahavaly ny teniny akory;

Yes, I attended to you, and behold, [there was] none of you that convinced Job, [or] that answered his words:

13 Fandrao ianareo hanao hoe: Hitanay ny fotony: Andriamanitra no maharesy azy, fa tsy olona.

Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.

14 Tsy nandaha-teny hamely ahy anefa izy; Ary tsy araka ny teninareo no havaliko azy.

Now he hath not directed [his] words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.

15 Very hevitra terỳ izy ireo, ka tsy namaly intsony; Efa nanalavitra azy ny teny.

They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.

16 Hangina va aho, raha tsy miteny izy ireo, fa mijanona foana izy ka tsy mamaly intsony?

When I had waited, (for they spoke not, but stood still, [and] answered no more; )

17 Anjarako kosa izao, koa dia hamaly aho; Eny, izaho hanambara izay fantatro;

[I said], I will answer also my part, I also will show my opinion.

18 Fa feno teny ny foko; Manery ahy ny fanahy ato anatiko.

For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.

19 Endrey! ny ato anatiko dia efa tahaka ny divay izay tsy misy hiainana, efa ho triatra tahaka ny siny hoditra vaovao izy.

Behold, my belly [is] as wine [which] hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.

20 Hiteny aho mba hisy hiainako tsara; Hiloa-bava aho ka hamaly.

I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.

21 Aoka tsy hizaha tavan’ olona akory aho, ary aoka tsy handrobo olona.

Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles to man.

22 Fa tsy mba mahay mandrobo aho; Raha izany, dia halain’ ny Mpanao ahy faingana aho.

For I know not to give flattering titles; [in so doing], my Maker would soon take me away.
