Job 16

Then Job answered and said,

Dia namaly Joba ka nanao hoe:

I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.

Efa nandre zavatra maro toy izany aho; Mpampionona mahasorisorena foana ianareo rehetra.

Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?

Efa tapitra va izay ny bedibedy foana? Sa mbola misy manesika anao hamaly ahy ihany?

I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.

Izaho kosa mba mahazo miteny tahaka anareo, raha mba tonga tahaka ahy ianareo; eny, mahazo manamboatra teny ho enti-mamely anareo aho ary mahazo mihifikifi-doha aminareo;

But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.

Mahazo mampahery anareo amin'ny Vavako aho, ary mahazo mampitony ny alahelonareo ny fampiononana ataon'ny molotro.

Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?

Na dia miteny aza aho, dia tsy mitsahatra ny alaheloko; Ary na dia mangina aza aho, dia tsy misy mihena izany.

But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.

Fa ankehitriny efa nandreraka ahy Izy; Naringanao ny ankohonako rehetra.

And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.

Ary efa nampifezaka ny tenako Hianao, ka dia vavolombelona amiko izany. Ary mitsangana hiampanga ahy ny fahahiazako, ka dia tondromaso akaiky izany.

He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.

Amin'ny fahatezerany no amiravirany sy andrafiany ahy, mihidy vazana amiko Izy; Eny, miseho ho fahavaloko Izy ka mampivandravandra ny masony amiko;

They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.

Nisanasana vava tamiko ny olona; Latsa no nentiny namely ny takolako; Mitambatra hamely ahy izy.

God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.

Efa voatolotr'Andriamanitra ho amin'ny ratsy fanahy aho, ary natsipiny ho eo an-tànan'ny mpanota.

I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.

Tamin'ilay izaho tsy nanana ahiahy iny, dia nanorotoro ahy Izy; Nosamboriny tamin'ny hatoko aho ka nomontsaniny, sady natsangany ho marika hokendreny.

His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.

Manodidina ahy ny mpandefa zana-tsipìkany; Mamaky ny voako Izy ka tsy miantra ary manidina ny aferoko ho amin'ny tany.

He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant.

Bangabangainy lalandava aho, ka miroatra hamely ahy tahaka ny lehilahy mahery Izy.

I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust.

Lamba fisaonana no voazaitrako hanarona ny hoditro, ary nalàko baraka tamin'ny vovoka ny tandroko.

My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;

Ny tavako tera-menan'ny fitomaniana, ary eo amin'ny hodi-masoko ny aloky ny fahafatesana;

Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.

Kanefa tsy misy eto an-tanako izay mba nalaina an-keriny; Ary madio ny fivavako.

O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.

Ry tany ô, aza manarona ny rako, ary aoka tsy ho voahazona ny fitarainako!

Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.

Fa na dia ankehitriny aza, indro, any an-danitra ny Vavolombeloko, eny, ny Vavolombeloko dia any amin'ny avo.

My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.

Na dia mihomehy ahy aza ny sakaizako, dia mamarin-dranomaso eo anatrehan'Andriamanitra kosa aho,

O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour!

Mba hanamarina ahy olombelona eo anatrehany Izy sy hanafa-tsiny ahy zanak'olombelona amin'ny sakaizako.

When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.

Fa rehefa lasa ny taona vitsy, dia handeha any amin'ny lalana izay tsy hiverenako intsony aho.
