Joba 5
1 Miantsoa ange! moa misy hamaly anao va? Ary iza amin’ ireo masìna no hotodihinao?
Therefore call, if there are any who will respond to you, and turn to one or another of the saints.
2 Fa ny adala dia vonoin’ ny fahasosorana, ary ny kely saina dia matin’ ny fialonana.
Truly, anger condemns the foolish to death, and envy kills the petty.
3 Izaho nahita olona adala mamaka, nefa vetivety Indray dia tsy maintsy nanozona ny fonenany aho;
I have seen a fool with a strong root, and I have cursed his excellence without hesitation.
4 Lavitra ny famonjena ny zanany Ka torotoro eo am-bavahady, nefa tsy manan-kamonjy;
His sons will be far from prosperity and will be crushed at the gate, and there will be none who can rescue them.
5 Ny vokatry ny taniny dia lanin’ ny noana, eny, alainy na dia voafefy tsilo aza; ary ny fandrika mitanatana vava hahazo ny fananany
Their harvest, the starving will eat. The armed man will rob him, and the thirsty will drink his resources.
6 Fa tsy mivoaka avy amin’ ny vovoka ny alahelo, ary tsy mitrebona avy amin’ ny tany ny fahoriana,
Nothing on earth occurs without a reason, and sorrow does not rise from the earth.
7 Nefa teraka ho amin’ ny fahoriana ny olombelona, dia tahaka ny fanidin’ ny kilalaon’ afo miakatra
Man is born to labor, and the bird to fly.
8 Fa raha toa ahy kosa dia hitady an’ Andriamanitra aho, ary Andriamanitra ihany no hotolorako ny teniko,
Therefore, because of this, I will beg the Lord, and place my eloquence before God.
9 Dia Izay manao zava-dehibe tsy takatry ny saina sy zava-mahagaga tsy hita isa,
He does great and unfathomable and miraculous things without number.
10 Dia Izay mampilatsaka ranonorana etỳ ambonin’ ny tany ary mampandeha rano eny amin’ ny saha,
He gives rain over the face of the earth and irrigates all things with the waters.
11 Ka apetrany amin’ ny avo Izay ambany, ary asandrany ho amin’ ny fahafinaretana ny miory,
He places the humble on high and encourages the grieving towards health.
12 Dia Izay mahafoana ny hevitry ny fetsy, ka tsy hahefan’ ny tànany na inona na inona hahasoa ny tenany;
He dispels the thoughts of the spiteful, lest their hands be able to complete what they had begun.
13 Ny fahafetsen’ ny hendry ihany no entiny misambotra azy, ary ny saina ataon’ ny mpiolakolaka dia rava;
He catches the wise in their cleverness and dissipates the counsel of the perverse.
14 Na dia amin’ ny antoandro aza dia tafatsarapaka ao amin’ ny maizina ireny ka miraparapa amin’ ny mitataovovonana tahaka ny amin’ ny alina;
They will encounter darkness in the daytime, and they will grope at midday just as in the night.
15 Fa vonjeny kosa ny malahelo tsy ho voan’ ny sabatry ny vavany; Eny, vonjeny tsy ho azon’ ny tanan’ ny mahery izy.
Thereafter, he will act to save the needy from the sword of their mouth, and the poor from the hand of the violent.
16 Dia misy fanantenana ho an’ ny reraka; fa ny faharatsiana kosa mihombom-bava
And there will be hope for those in need, for iniquity will diminish its speech.
17 Indro, sambatra ny zanak’ olombelona izay anarin’ Andriamanitra, koa aza atao ho zavatra kely ny famaizan’ ny Tsitoha;
Blessed is the man whom God corrects; therefore, do not reject the chastisement of the Lord.
18 Fa sady mandratra Izy no mamehy; Manorotoro Izy, ary ny tànany ihany no manasitrana.
For he wounds and he cures; he strikes and his hands will heal.
19 Amin’ ny fahoriana enina dia hamonjy anao Izy; Eny, amin’ ny fito aza dia tsy hisy loza hihatra aminao.
He will deliver you into six tribulations, and in the seventh, evil will not touch you.
20 Raha avy ny mosary, dia hiaro anao amin’ ny fahafatesana Izy; Ary raha avy ny ady, dia hiaro anao tsy ho voan’ ny sabatra Izy;
During famine, he will rescue you from death, and during war, from the hand of the sword.
21 Hampiereny tsy ho voan’ ny kapo-bava ianao, ary tsy hatahotra, raha avy ny fandringanana;
You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, and you will not fear calamity when it arrives.
22 Ny fandringanana sy ny mosary dia hihomehezanao; ary tsy hatahoranao ny bibi-dia;
In desolation and in famine, you will laugh, and you will not dread the beasts of the earth.
23 Fa vita fanekena amin’ ny vato any an-tsaha aza ianao; Ary ny bibi-dia hihavana aminao;
For you are in harmony with the stones of the land, and the beasts of the earth will make peace with you.
24 Ary ho hitanao fa ny fiadanana no lainao; Ary raha mizaha ny kijanao ianao, dia ho hitanao fa tsy misy very ny ao;
And you will know that your home has peace, and, concerning your appearance, you will not sin.
25 Ary ho hitanao koa fa maro ny zanakao, ary ny terakao ho tahaka ny ahitra amin’ ny tany;
Likewise, you will know that your offspring will be manifold and your progeny will be like the grass of the earth.
26 Haharitra ianao ambara-piditrao any am-pasana, raha mbola henjana, dia tahaka ny amboaram-bary akarina amin’ ny fotoana.
You will enter the grave with abundance, just as a crop of wheat is gathered in its time.
27 Izany ary no izy, fa efa nandinika azy izahay; Hevero ary izany, ka fantaro tsara.
Behold, this is just as we have found it, which you have heard; walk it through your mind.
