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

¹And these three men cease from answering Job, for he [is] righteous in his own eyes,

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.

²and burn doth the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram; against Job hath his anger burned, because of his justifying himself more than God;

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]

³and against his three friends hath his anger burned, because that they have not found an answer, and condemn Job.

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

⁴And Elihu hath waited earnestly beside Job with words, for they are older than he in days.

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

⁵And Elihu seeth that there is no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger burneth.

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.

⁶And Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite answereth and saith: — Young I [am] in days, and ye [are] age Therefore I have feared, And am afraid of shewing you my opinion.

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

⁷I said: Days do speak, And multitude of years teach wisdom.

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

⁸Surely a spirit is in man, And the breath of the Mighty One Doth cause them to understand.

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

⁹The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment.

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

¹⁰Therefore I have said: Hearken to me, I do shew my opinion — even I.

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

¹¹Lo, I have waited for your words, I give ear unto your reasons, Till ye search out sayings.

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

¹²And unto you I attend, And lo, there is no reasoner for Job, [Or] answerer of his sayings among you.

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

¹³Lest ye say, We have found wisdom, God doth thrust him away, not man.

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

¹⁴And he hath not set in array words for me, And with your sayings I do not answer him.

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

¹⁵(They have broken down, They have not answered again, They removed from themselves words.

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

¹⁶And I have waited, but they do not speak, For they have stood still, They have not answered any more.)

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

¹⁷I answer, even I — my share, I shew my opinion — even I.

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

¹⁸For I have been full of words, Distressed me hath the spirit of my breast,

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

¹⁹Lo, my breast [is] as wine not opened, Like new bottles it is broken up.

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

²⁰I speak, and there is refreshment to me, I open my lips and answer.

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.

²¹Let me not, I pray you, accept the face of any, Nor unto man give flattering titles,

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

²²For I have not known to give flattering titles, In a little doth my Maker take me away.
