¹And Job answered and said,

¹[Ny teny navalin'i Joba] Dia namaly Joba ka nanao hoe:

²How long will ye vex my soul, and crush me with words?

²Mandra-pahoviana no hampalahelovanareo ny fanahiko sy hanorotoroanareo ahy amin'ny fiteny?

³These ten times have ye reproached me; ye are not ashamed to stupefy me.

³Efa im-polo izay no nanaratsianareo ahy; Tsy misoroka izay hampahory ahy ianareo.

⁴And be it [that] I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.

⁴Ary raha diso tokoa aho, dia izaho ihany no andrian'ny fa hadisoako.

⁵If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and prove against me my reproach,

⁵Raha mirehareha amiko kosa ianareo ka mampiaiky ahy ho nanao izay mahamenatra,

⁶Know now that +God hath overthrown me, and hath surrounded me with his net.

⁶Dia aoka ho fantatrareo fa Andriamanitra no efa nampitanondrika ahy ka efa naningotra ahy tamin'ny fandrika haratony.

⁷Behold, I cry out of wrong, and I am not heard; I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.

⁷Indro, miantso mafy aho hoe: Loza! nefa tsy misy mamaly ahy; Mitaraina aho, nefa tsy mahita rariny.

⁸He hath hedged up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.

⁸Ny lalako dia nofefeny, ka tsy afa-mandroso aho; ary nasiany maizina teo amin'ny lalana alehako.

⁹He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.

⁹Ny voninahitro nalany tamiko, ary nesoriny ny satro-boninahitra teo an-dohako.

¹⁰He breaketh me down on every side, and I am gone; and my hope hath he torn up as a tree.

¹⁰Efa nandrava ahy manodidina Izy, ka efa ho faty aho; Ary efa nofongorany tahaka ny hazo ny fanantenako.

¹¹And he hath kindled his anger against me, and hath counted me unto him as one of his enemies.

¹¹Dia nampirehetiny tamiko ny fahatezerany, ka nataony ho fahavalony aho.

¹²His troops have come together and cast up their way against me, and have encamped round about my tent.

¹²Miara-mandroso ny antokon'ny miaramilany ary manandratra tovon-tany hamelezany ahy izy ka mitoby manodidina ny laiko.

¹³He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are quite estranged from me.

¹³Ny rahalahiko efa nampanalaviriny ahy; Ary ny olona nahazatra ahy efa nihafahafa tamiko avokoa.

¹⁴My kinsfolk have failed, and my known friends have forgotten me.

¹⁴Efa tsy misy eto intsony ny havako, ary ny sakaizako efa nanadino ahy.

¹⁵The sojourners in my house and my maids count me as a stranger; I am an alien in their sight.

¹⁵Ny vahiny izay mitoetra ao an-tranoko sy ny ankizivaviko aza samy manao ahy ho olon-kafa; Tonga olon-ko azy eo imasony aho.

¹⁶I called my servant, and he answered not; I entreated him with my mouth.

¹⁶Antsoiko ny mpanompoko, nefa tsy namaly ahy izy; Mifona aminy amin'ny vavako aho.

¹⁷My breath is strange to my wife, and my entreaties to the children of my [mother's] womb.

¹⁷Ny fofonaiko mahaloiloy ny vadiko, ary maharikoriko ny zanak'ineny aho.

¹⁸Even young children despise me; I rise up, and they speak against me.

¹⁸Eny, ny ankizilahy madinika aza mamingavinga ahy; Raha te-hitsangana aho, dia miteny mamely ahy ireny.

¹⁹All my intimate friends abhor me, and they whom I loved are turned against me.

¹⁹Na dia izay nifankazatra tamiko indrindra aza dia manao ahy ho zava-betaveta, ary izay olon-tiako dia mivadika ho fahavaloko.

²⁰My bones cleave to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.

²⁰Ny taolako miraikitra amin'ny hoditro sy ny nofoko, ary ny akanjo-nifiko ihany no hany sisa azoko enti-mandositra.

²¹Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, ye my friends; for the hand of +God hath touched me.

²¹Mamindrà fo amiko, mamindrà fo amiko ianareo, ry sakaizako ô; fa ny tànan'Andriamanitra efa mikasika ahy.

²²Why do ye persecute me as ùGod, and are not satisfied with my flesh?

²²Nahoana no manenjika ahy tahaka an'Andriamanitra koa ianareo ka tsy mety afa-po amin'ny nofoko?

²³Oh would that my words were written! oh that they were inscribed in a book!

²³Enga anie ka ho voasoratra ny teniko! Enga anie ka ho voatomboka eo amin'ny boky ireny!

²⁴That with an iron style and lead they were graven in the rock for ever!

²⁴Enga anie ka ho voasoratra amin'ny vy fanoratana sady voasy firaka eo amin'ny vatolampy ho mandrakizay izy!

²⁵And [as for] me, I know that my Redeemer liveth, and the Last, he shall stand upon the earth;

²⁵Kanefa raha izaho, dia fantatro fa velona ny Mpanavotra ahy, ka hitsangana any am-parany eo ambonin'ny vovoka Izy.[Heb. Goela][Na: ho farany]

²⁶And [if] after my skin this shall be destroyed, yet from out of my flesh shall I see +God;

²⁶Ary rehefa levona ny hoditro, izao simba izao, sady afaka amin'ny nofoko aho, dia hahita an'Andriamanitra;[Na: Dia hahita an'Andriamanitra amin'ny nofoko aho]

²⁷Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another: -- my reins are consumed within me.

²⁷Eny, izaho no hahita Azy, ary ny masoko no hijery, fa tsy olon-kafa. Efa matim-paniriana ny saiko ato anatiko.[Heb. voako]

²⁸If ye say, How shall we persecute him? when the root of the matter is found in me,

²⁸Raha hoy ianareo: Andeha hanenjika azy fatratra isika. Fa hita ao anatiny ny fototry ny mahameloka azy.[Heb. anatiko][Heb. ahy]Dia matahora ny sabatra ianareo; Fa ny fahatezerana dia heloka mendrika ny hovalian-tsabatra, mba ho fantatrareo fa misy fitsarana.

²⁹Be ye yourselves afraid of the sword! for the sword is fury against misdeeds, that ye may know there is a judgment.

²⁹Dia matahora ny sabatra ianareo; Fa ny fahatezerana dia heloka mendrika ny hovalian-tsabatra, mba ho fantatrareo fa misy fitsarana.
