Job 19
1 Bvt Iob answered, and said,
Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe Siope, ʻo ne pehē,
2 Howe long will yee vexe my soule, and torment me with wordes?
ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa mo hoʻomou fakafiuʻi hoku laumālie, mo lailaiki ʻaki au ʻae ngaahi lea.
3 Ye haue now ten times reproched me, and are not ashamed: ye are impudent toward mee.
Ko hono liunga hongofulu eni mo hoʻomou manukiʻi au: pea ʻoku ʻikai te mou mā ʻi hoʻomou fai ʻo hangē ko e kau muli kiate au.
4 And though I had in deede erred, mine errour remaineth with me.
Pea kapau moʻoni kuo u hē, ʻoku ʻiate au pe ʻeku hē.
5 But in deede if ye will aduance your selues against me, and rebuke me for my reproche,
Pea kapau moʻoni te mou fai fielahi kiate au, pea talatalaakiʻi au ʻaki hoku manukiaʻanga:
6 Know nowe, that God hath ouerthrowen me, and hath compassed me with his net.
Mou ʻilo eni, kuo fulihi au ʻe he ʻOtua, pea ne kāpui au ʻaki hono kupenga.
7 Beholde, I crie out of violence, but I haue none answere: I crie, but there is no iudgement.
“Vakai, ʻoku ou tangi koeʻuhi ko e fakamālohi, ka ʻoku ʻikai ongoʻi au: ʻoku ou tangi kalanga ka ʻoku ʻikai ha fakamaau.
8 Hee hath hedged vp my way that I cannot passe, and he hath set darkenesse in my paths.
Kuo ne feleʻi hoku hala ke ʻoua naʻaku ʻalu, pea kuo ne ʻai ʻae fakapoʻuli ʻi hoku ngaahi hala.
9 Hee hath spoyled mee of mine honour, and taken the crowne away from mine head.
Kuo ne fakamasivaʻi au ʻi hoku nāunau, pea kuo ne toʻo ʻae tatā mei hoku ʻulu.
10 He hath destroyed mee on euery side and I am gone: and he hath remoued mine hope like a tree.
Kuo ne fakaʻauhaʻi au mei he potu kotoa pē, pea kuo u mole: pea kuo ne taʻaki ʻeku ʻamanaki ʻo hangē ha ʻakau.
11 And he hath kindled his wrath against me, and counteth mee as one of his enemies.
Kuo ne tutu foki ʻa hono houhau kiate au, pea ʻoku ne lauʻi au ko e taha ʻo hono ngaahi fili.
12 His armies came together, and made their way vpon me, and camped about my tabernacle.
ʻOku fakataha ʻene ngaahi kautau, ʻonau keli takatakai ʻiate au, pea nofo fakatakamilo ʻi hoku fale.
13 He hath remooued my brethre farre from me, and also mine acquaintance were strangers vnto me.
“Kuo ne fakamamaʻo atu hoku kāinga ʻiate au, pea ko ʻeku ngaahi kaumeʻa ʻoku mahuʻi ʻaupito meiate au.
14 My neighbours haue forsaken me, and my familiars haue forgotten me.
Kuo mahuʻi hoku ngaahi kāinga ʻiate au, pea kuo fakangalongaloʻi au ʻe hoku ngaahi kāinga feʻofoʻofani.
15 They that dwel in mine house, and my maydes tooke me for a stranger: for I was a stranger in their sight.
Ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi hoku fale, mo ʻeku kau kaunanga, ʻoku nau lau au ko e muli, ko e taha kehe au ʻi honau ʻao.
16 I called my seruant, but he would not answere, though I prayed him with my mouth.
Naʻaku ui ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne tali; ne u fakakolekole ʻaki hoku ngutu ki ai.
17 My breath was strange vnto my wife, though I prayed her for the childrens sake of mine owne body.
Kuo fakalielia ʻa ʻeku mānava ki hoku uaifi, neongo ʻa ʻeku fakakolekole koeʻuhi ko e fānau ʻa hoku sino ʻoʻoku.
18 The wicked also despised mee, and when I rose, they spake against me.
ʻIo, naʻe manukiʻi au ʻe he fānau iiki, ʻoku ou tuʻu hake pea nau lauʻikoviʻi au.
19 All my secret friends abhorred me, and they whome I loued, are turned against me.
Kuo fehiʻa kiate au ʻa hoku ngaahi kāinga feʻofoʻofani kotoa pē, pea ko kinautolu ne u ʻofa ki ai kuo liliu ʻo angatuʻu kiate au.
20 My bone cleaueth to my skinne and to my flesh, and I haue escaped with the skinne of my teeth.
ʻOku piki hoku ngaahi hui ki hoku kili ʻo hangē ko hoku kakano, pea kuo u hao mo e kili ʻo hoku kau nifo.
21 Haue pitie vpon me: haue pitie vpon me, (O yee my friendes) for the hande of God hath touched me.
“ʻOfa mai kiate au, ʻofa mai kiate au, ʻakimoutolu ko hoku kāinga; he kuo ala kiate au ʻae nima ʻoe ʻOtua.
22 Why do ye persecute me, as God? and are not satisfied with my flesh?
Ko e hā ʻoku mou fakatanga ai au ʻo hangē ko e ʻOtua, pea mou taʻefiu ʻi hoku kakano?
23 Oh that my wordes were nowe written! oh that they were written euen in a booke,
“Taumaiā kuo tohi ʻa ʻeku ngaahi lea! Taumaiā kuo tohi ia ʻi ha tohi!
24 And grauen with an yron pen in lead, or in stone for euer!
Koeʻuhi ke tohi tongi ia ʻaki ʻae peni ukamea mo e pulu, ʻi he maka ke taʻengata!
25 For I am sure, that my Redeemer liueth, and he shall stand the last on the earth.
He ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku moʻui ʻa hoku Huhuʻi, pea ʻe tuʻu ia ʻi māmani ʻi he ʻaho fakamui.
26 And though after my skin wormes destroy this bodie, yet shall I see God in my flesh.
Pea ka ʻosi hoku kili pea maumau hoku sino, ka te u mamata ʻi hoku kakano ki he ʻOtua:
27 Whome I my selfe shall see, and mine eyes shall beholde, and none other for me, though my reynes are consumed within me.
ʻAia te u mamata ki ai maʻaku, pea ʻe vakai ki ai ʻa hoku mata, pea ʻikai ha taha kehe; “Neongo ʻae ʻauha ʻa hoku ngaahi kupuʻi sino ʻiate au.
28 But yee sayde, Why is hee persecuted? And there was a deepe matter in me.
Ka ʻe lelei hoʻomou pehē, ‘Ko e hā ʻoku tau fakatanga ai ia?’ He ʻoku ʻiate au ʻae tefito ʻoe meʻa lelei.
29 Be ye afraide of the sworde: for the sworde will be auenged of wickednesse, that yee may knowe that there is a iudgement.
Ke manavahē ʻakimoutolu ki he heletā: he ʻoku ʻomi ʻe he ʻita ʻae ngaahi tautea ʻoe heletā, koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ʻoku ai ʻae fakamaau.”
