Joba 24
1 Tsy mikafitse amy El-Sadai o sa-o, Akore te tsy mahaoniñe o andro’eo o mahafohiñe azeo?
Howe should not the times be hid from the Almightie, seeing that they which knowe him, see not his dayes?
2 Ao ty mameve vorovoro: ie mitavañe naho mampibotseke lia-raike.
Some remoue the land marks, that rob the flockes and feede thereof.
3 Roahe’ iareo añe ty borìkem-bode-rae, vaho rambese’ iereo ho tsoake ty vosi’ i vantotsey.
They leade away the asse of the fatherles: and take the widowes oxe to pledge.
4 Ampisitahe’ iereo amy lalañey ty poie’e; mitrao-pietake o rarake an-tane atoio.
They make the poore to turne out of the way, so that the poore of the earth hide themselues together.
5 Hehe te hoe borìke-ly an-dratraratra añe ty irembea’ iareo mitsindroke; hera hamahan-kaneñe amo ana’eo ty fatrambey.
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 Tatahe’ iereo ze haneñe an-kivok’ ao, vaho timpone’ iereo ty an-tanem-bahen-do-tserek’ ao.
They reape his prouision in the fielde, but they gather the late vintage of the wicked.
7 Miboridañe t’ie mialeñe, tsy aman-tsaroñe, tsy amam-bodo amy hanintsiñey.
They cause the naked to lodge without garment, and without couering in the colde.
8 Len-oram-bohitse iereo, vihineñe ty lamilamy amy t’ie tsy amam-pipalirañe.
They are wet with the showres of the moutaines, and they imbrace the rocke for want of a couering.
9 Eo ty mitavam-bode-rae am-patroa vaho andrambesan-tsoak’ ty rarake.
They plucke the fatherles from the breast, and take the pledge of the poore.
10 Ampandenàñe tsy aman-tsikiñe ty miboridañe, tavane’ iareo ty taho’ o salikoeñeo,
They cause him to go naked without clothing, and take the glening from the hungrie.
11 ie mamboatse menake an-kijoly ao; mandia am-piriritan-divay, f’ie maran-drano.
They that make oyle betweene their walles, and treade their wine presses, suffer thirst.
12 Miñeoñeoñe an-drova ao ondatio, mikoiake ty fiai’ o fereo; f’ie tsy anesehan’ Añahare hagegeañe.
Men cry out of the citie, and the soules of the slayne cry out: yet God doth not charge them with follie.
13 Mpiamo mpiola amo hazavàñeo, tsy fohi’ iareo o sata’eo, tsy imoneña’ iareo o lala’eo.
These are they, that abhorre the light: they know not the wayes thereof, nor continue in the paths thereof.
14 Mitroatse te mazava i mpañoho-dozay, hanjevoa’e o rarakeo naho o poie’eo, ie haleñe manao malaso.
The murtherer riseth earely and killeth the poore and the needie: and in the night he is as a theefe.
15 Mandiñe mielizava ty masom-panao havambañe, hoe re: tsy honiñam-pihaino, mbore honohonoe’e ty tarehe’e.
The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, and sayth, None eye shall see me, and disguiseth his face.
16 Ie añ’ieñe ro mampigorabak’ anjomba, antoandro migabeñe ao: tsy fohi’ iereo ty hazavàñe.
They digge through houses in the darke, which they marked for themselues in the daye: they knowe not the light.
17 Talinjom-piantantiritse ama’e ty maraindray: mahazats’ aze ty fampangebahebahan- kamoromoroñañe.
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 Vore mikafo an-drano eo iereo; fatra an-tane ty anjara’e, tsy itsileañe ty mb’an-tanem-bahe’e.
He is swift vpon the waters: their portion shalbe cursed in the earth: he will not behold the way of the vineyardes.
19 Mamotseke ranom-panala ty tariñandroke naho ty hain-tane: Izay ka ty kibory amo manan-tahiñeo. (Sheol h7585)
As the dry ground and heate consume the snowe waters, so shall the graue the sinners. (Sheol h7585)
20 Handikok’ aze i hoviñey; an-kaehake ty fihinanan’ oletse aze ampara’ te tsy tiahy ka: ie pozaheñe hoe hatae i lo-tserekey.
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 Joie’e i betsiterakey, tsy soa’e ty vantotse.
He doth euil intreat ye barren, that doeth not beare, neither doeth he good to the widowe.
22 Kozozote’e amañ-ozatse ty fanalolahy; mitroatse re le iatoa’ ia ty havelo’e.
He draweth also the mighty by his power, and when he riseth vp, none is sure of life.
23 Tolora’e fañarovañe, le iatoa’iareo; mbore jilove’e o lala’iareoo.
Though men giue him assurance to be in safetie, yet his eyes are vpon their wayes.
24 Onjoneñe betebeteke iereo, naho mifiotse añe; afotsake naho atontoñe ao manahake o ila’e iabio; vaho miheatse hoe t’ie lengom-boto-tsako.
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 Aa naho tsy Izay, ia ty hamente t’ie mavande hampikoake i entakoy?
But if it be not so, where is he? or who wil proue me a lyer, and make my words of no value?
