¹And these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

¹[Ny teny nataon'i Eliho] Ary nitsahatra tsy namaly intsony izy telo lahy ireo, satria nanamarin-tena Joba.

²Then was kindled the anger of Elihu the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his anger kindled, because he justified himself rather than God;

²Ary 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.

³and against his three friends was his anger kindled, because they found no answer, and [yet] condemned Job.

³Ary tamin'ny sakaizany telo lahy koa no nirehetan'ny fahatezerany, satria tsy nahita teny havaliny izy ireo, kanefa nanameloka an'i Joba.[Na: teny havaliny an'i Joba hanamelohany azy]

⁴But Elihu had waited till Job had finished speaking, because they were older than he.

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

⁵And Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger was kindled.

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

⁶And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are aged; wherefore I was timid, and feared to shew you what I know.

⁶ka 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.

⁷I said, Let days speak, and multitude of years teach wisdom.

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

⁸But there is a spirit which is in man; and the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

⁸Kanefa ny fanahy izay ao anatin'ny zanak'olombelona sy ny fofonoin'ny Tsitoha no mahahendry azy.[Na: Dia]

⁹It is not the great that are wise; neither do the aged understand judgment.

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

¹⁰Therefore I say, Hearken to me; I also will shew what I know.

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

¹¹Lo, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasonings, until ye searched out what to say.

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

¹²Yea, I gave you mine attention, and behold, there was none of you that confuted Job, that answered his words;

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

¹³That ye may not say, We have found out wisdom; ùGod will make him yield, not man.

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

¹⁴Now he hath not directed [his] words against me; and I will not answer him with your speeches. ...

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

¹⁵They were amazed, they answered no more; words failed them.

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

¹⁶And I waited, for they spoke not, but stood still, and answered no more; --

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

¹⁷I will answer, I also in my turn, I also will shew what I know:

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

¹⁸For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.

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

¹⁹Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; like new flasks, it is ready to burst.

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

²⁰I will speak, that I may find relief; I will open my lips and answer.

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

²¹Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person; neither will I give flattery to man.

²¹Aoka tsy hizaha tavan'olona akory aho, ary aoka tsy handrobo olona.Fa tsy mba mahay mandrobo aho; Raha izany, dia halain'ny Mpanao ahy faingana aho.

²²For I know not how to flatter; my Maker would soon take me away.

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