Joba 21
1 Dia namaly Joba ka nanao hoe:
Ka naʻe tali ʻe Siope, ʻo ne pehē,
2 Mihainoa dia mihainoa ny teniko, Ary aoka izany no ho fampiononanareo ahy.
“Fakafanongo lelei ki heʻeku lea, pea ko hoʻomou fakafiemālie eni.
3 Mandefera amiko ianareo, fa mba hiteny kosa aho izao; Ary rehefa tapitra ny teniko, dia mandatsalatsà ihany indray ianareo.
Mou kātaki, kau lea atu; pea hili ʻeku lea, fai pe hoʻomou manuki.
4 Raha ny amiko, moa ny ataon’ ny olona va no itarainako? Ary raha izany, nahoana no hahalefitra ny fanahiko?
ʻOiauē, he ʻoku ou liunga ki he tangata? Pea ka ne ko ia, ko e hā nai ʻe ʻikai mamahi ai hoku laumālie?
5 Jereo aho, dia aoka ho talanjona ianareo, ary mitampena vava.
Tokanga mai, pea mou ofo, pea ʻai homou nima ki homou ngutu.
6 Eny, raha mahatsiaro izany aho, dia raiki-tahotra, sady toran-kovitra ny tenako:
ʻIo, ʻi heʻeku fakamanatu ʻoku ou manavahē ʻaupito, pea ʻoku puke ʻa hoku kakano ʻe he tetetete.
7 Nahoana no velona ny ratsy fanahy ka sady tratrantitra no be hery?
“Ko e hā ʻoku moʻui ai ʻae angakovi, ʻo hoko ʻo motuʻa, ʻio, pea lahi ʻi he mālohi?
8 Ny zanany koa mitomoetra tsara eo anatrehany, ary ny zafiny eo anoloany.
Kuo fakatuʻumaʻu honau hako fakataha mo kinautolu, pea mo ʻenau fānau ʻi honau ʻao.
9 Ny ankohonany miadana ka tsy manan-tahotra, ary ny tsorakazon’ Andriamanitra tsy mamely azy.
ʻOku malu honau fale mei he manavahē, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kinautolu ʻae meʻa tā ʻae ʻOtua.
10 Ny ombilahiny mampiteraka ka mahavanona; Ny ombivaviny miteraka ka tsy mamotsotra.
ʻOku fakatauʻi ʻe heʻenau pulu tangata ʻo touʻia taʻehala; ʻoku fānau ʻenau pulu fefine ʻo taʻetōhonoʻuhiki.
11 Mamoaka ny zanany madinika toy ny ondry aman’ osy izy, ka mikoriana ny zanany.
ʻOku nau tuku atu ʻenau fānau ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi, pea ʻoku meʻe hopohopo ʻenau fānau.
12 Mihoby mitondra ampongatapaka sy lokanga izy ary mifaly amin’ ny feon-tsodina.
ʻOku nau toʻo hake ʻae kihiʻi lali mo e haʻape, pea nau fiefia ʻi he leʻo ʻoe meʻa ifi.
13 Mandany ny androny amin’ ny fahafinaretana izy; Amin’ ny indray mipi-maso monja no idinany any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita. (Sheol h7585)
ʻOku nau fakaʻosi honau ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he fakafiemālie, pea fakafokifā pe ʻoku nau ʻalu hifo ki he faʻitoka. (Sheol h7585)
14 Kanefa anie ireo no manao amin’ Andriamanitra hoe: Mialà aminay! Fa tsy mba irinay ny hahalala ny lalanao.
Ko ia ʻoku nau pehē ai ki he ʻOtua, ‘ʻAlu ʻiate kimautolu, he ʻoku ʻikai te mau holi ke ʻilo ho ngaahi hala.
15 Zinona izay Tsitoha, no hotompoinay? Ary inona no soa ho azonay, raha mivavaka aminy?
Ko hai ʻae Māfimafi, ke pehē ke mau tauhi ia? Pea ko e hā ʻae totongi te mau maʻu, ʻo kapau te mau lotu ki ai?’
16 Indro, tsy avy amin’ ny tenany ihany ny fahafinaretany! Ho lavitra ahy anie ny fisainan’ ny ratsy fanahy!
Vakai, ʻoku ʻikai ʻi honau nima ʻenau monūʻia: ʻoku mamaʻo ʻiate au ʻae fakakaukau ʻoe angahala.
17 Indraindray foana no mba maty ny jiron’ ny ratsy fanahy, sy tonga ny loza manjo azy. Ary amelaran’ Andriamanitra fandrika ireny noho ny fahatezerany,
“ʻOku liunga fiha ʻae tāmateʻi ʻoe maama ʻae angahala? Mo e hoko ʻenau fakaʻauha kiate kinautolu? ʻoku tufaki ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi mamahi ʻi hono houhau.
18 Ka tonga tahaka ny mololo voatetika indaosin’ ny rivotra izy sy tahaka ny akofa entin’ ny tafio-drivotra.
ʻOku nau tatau mo e tefitoʻi kaho ʻi he mata ʻoe matangi, pea hangē ko e kafukafu ʻoku ʻave ʻe he afi.
19 Andriamanitra, hoy ianareo, mbola hampijaly ny zanany noho ny helodrainy! Tsia; fa ny tenan’ ireny ihany no aoka hovaliany, mba hahalalany.
‘ʻOku hili ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa ʻene angahala ki heʻene fānau:’ ʻoku ne totongi kiate ia, pea te ne ʻilo ia.
20 Aoka ny masony ihany no hahita ny loza manjo azy, ary aoka ny tenany ihany no hisotro ny fahatezeran’ ny Tsitoha.
ʻE mamata ʻe hono mata ki hono fakaʻauha, pea ʻe inu ia ʻi he houhau ʻoe Māfimafi.
21 Fa mampaninona azy moa ny amin’ ny taranany mandimby azy, raha tapaka ny isan’ ny androny?
He ko e hā ʻene fiemālie ʻi hono fale ʻamui ʻiate ia, ʻoka tuʻu ua mālie ʻae lau ʻo hono ngaahi māhina?
22 Moa Andriamanitra va no hampianarim-pahalalana, nefa Izy no mitsara ny any an-danitra aza?
“ʻE akonakiʻi ʻe ha taha ʻae ʻOtua ke ʻilo? He ʻoku ne fakamaau ʻe ia ʻakinautolu ʻoku māʻolunga.
23 Maty ny anankiray, raha tsy mbola mihena ny fahatanjahany, sady miadana tokoa ka tsy manana ahiahy;
ʻOku mate ha tokotaha lolotonga ʻene mālohi lahi, mo ʻene nofo tofu pe mo fiemālie.
24 Feno ronono ny fitoeran-drononony, ary vonton-tsoka ny taolany.
ʻOku fonu hono sino ʻi he ngako, pea lolololo hono ngaahi hui ʻi he uho.
25 Ary ny anankiray maty amin’ ny fahorian’ ny fanahiny kosa ka tsy mba nanandrana soa akory.
Pea ʻoku mate ha tokotaha ʻi he mamahi lahi ʻo hono laumālie, pea ʻikai ʻaupito haʻane kai ʻe fiemālie ai.
26 Samy mandry ao amin’ ny vovoka izy roa tonta, ka feno olitra ny tenany.
Te na tokoto tatau pe ʻi he efu, pea ʻe ʻuʻufi ʻakinaua ʻe he fanga kelemutu.
27 Indro, fantatro ny hevitrareo sy ny saim-petsy amelezanareo ahy;
“Vakai, ʻoku ou ʻilo hoʻomou ngaahi mahalo, mo e ngaahi filioʻi kovi ʻoku mou mahalo ʻaki kiate au.
28 Fa hoy ianareo: Aiza ny tranon’ ny mpitohatoha? Ary aiza ny lay fitoeran’ ny ratsy fanahy?
He ʻoku mou pehē, ‘Kofaʻā ʻae fale ʻoe ʻeiki? Pea kofaʻā ʻae ngaahi nofoʻanga ʻoe kakai angahala?’
29 Kanefa tsy mba nanontany tamin’ ny mpandeha amin’ ny tany lavitra va ianareo? Ary tsy heverinareo va ny zava-mahagaga, ambaran’ Ireo hoe:
ʻIkai kuo mou ʻeke kiate kinautolu ʻoku feʻaluʻaki ʻi he hala? Pea ʻikai ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻenau ngaahi tala,
30 Amin’ ny andro hahitan-doza dia voaaro ihany ny ratsy fanahy, ary amin’ ny andro fahatezerana dia enti-miala izy?
ʻAia kuo tuku tolonga ʻae angahala ki he ʻaho ʻoe fakaʻauha? ʻE taki atu ʻakinautolu ki he ʻaho ʻoe houhau.
31 Iza no hanambara ny lalany eo anatrehany? Ary raha misy zavatra nataony, iza no sahy hamaly azy?
Ko hai te ne fakahā hono hala ki hono mata? Pea ʻe totongi ʻe hai kiate ia ʻae meʻa kuo ne fai?
32 Ary ho entina ho eny an-tany fandevonana izy ka mbola hitazana ao am-pasana;
Ka ʻe ʻomi ia ki he faʻitoka, ʻe nofomaʻu ia ʻi he fonualoto.
33 Ho mamy aminy ny bainga any an-dohasaha, ary ny olona rehetra hanaraka azy, toy ny nandehanan’ ny maro tany alohany.
ʻE melie kiate ia ʻae ngaahi tutuʻanga kelekele ʻoe luo, pea ʻe fusi kiate ia ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko e taʻefaʻalaua ʻae kakai naʻe muʻa ʻiate ia.
34 Endrey! ity ianareo mba mampionona ahy foana! Ary ny famalianareo anefa, raha voasana tsara, dia lainga ihany!
Pea ka kuo pehē, pea ko e hā ʻoku mou fakafiemālie taʻeʻaonga kiate au, kae vakai ʻoku ai ʻae loi ʻi hoʻomou ngaahi lea?”
