Job 33
1 Wherefore, Iob, I pray thee, heare my talke and hearken vnto all my wordes.
“Ko ia ʻoku ou kole kiate koe ʻe Siope, fakafanongo ki heʻeku ngaahi fakamatala, mo ke tokanga ki heʻeku lea kotoa pē.
2 Beholde now, I haue opened my mouth: my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
Vakai, kuo u faʻai eni ʻa hoku ngutu, kuo lea ʻa hoku ʻelelo ʻi hoku ngutu.
3 My words are in the vprightnesse of mine heart, and my lippes shall speake pure knowledge.
Te u lea au mei he totonu ʻo hoku loto: pea ʻe mahino ʻae ʻilo ʻe lea ʻaki ʻe hoku loungutu.
4 The Spirite of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almightie hath giuen me life.
Naʻe ngaohi au ʻe he Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ko e mānava ʻoe Māfimafi kuo ne foaki ʻae moʻui kiate au.
5 If thou canst giue me answere, prepare thy selfe and stand before me.
Kapau te ke faʻa tali au, pea fokotuʻu hokohoko pe hoʻo ngaahi lea, tuʻu hake ʻi hoku ʻao.
6 Beholde, I am according to thy wish in Gods stead: I am also formed of the clay.
Vakai, ʻoku ou tatau mo koe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua: kuo ngaohi foki au mei he ʻumea.
7 Beholde, my terrour shall not feare thee, neither shall mine hand be heauie vpon thee.
ʻE ʻikai fakamanavahēʻi koe ʻe haʻaku fakailifia, pea ʻe ʻikai mamafa ʻa hoku nima kiate koe.
8 Doubtles thou hast spoken in mine eares, and I haue heard the voyce of thy wordes.
“Ko e moʻoni kuo ke lea ʻi hoku telinga, pea kuo u ongoʻi ʻae leʻo ʻo hoʻo ngaahi lea, ʻo pehē,
9 I am cleane, without sinne: I am innocent, and there is none iniquitie in me.
‘ʻOku ou maʻa taʻehaangahala, ʻoku ou māʻoniʻoni; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha hia ʻiate au.
10 Lo, he hath found occasions against me, and counted me for his enemie.
Vakai, ʻoku ne kumi ʻae meʻa ke u kovi ai, ʻoku ne lauʻi au ko hono fili,
11 He hath put my feete in the stockes, and looketh narrowly vnto all my paths.
ʻOku ne ʻai hoku vaʻe ki he meʻa fakamaʻu vaʻe, ʻoku ne vakaiʻi ʻa hoku ʻalunga kotoa pē.’
12 Behold, in this hast thou not done right: I will answere thee, that God is greater then man.
“Vakai eni, ʻoku ʻikai te ke tonuhia: te u talia koe, he ʻoku lahi ʻae ʻOtua ki he tangata.
13 Why doest thou striue against him? for he doeth not giue account of all his matters.
He ko e hā ʻoku ke fai ai mo ia? Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai fakahā ʻe ia ʻae ʻuhinga ʻo ʻene ngaahi ngāue.
14 For God speaketh once or twise, and one seeth it not.
Ka ʻoku lea ʻae ʻOtua ʻo tuʻo taha, ʻio, ʻo tuʻo ua, ka ʻoku ʻikai tokangaʻi ia ʻe he tangata.
15 In dreames and visions of the night, when sleepe falleth vpon men, and they sleepe vpon their beds,
ʻI he misi, ʻi he meʻa hā mai ʻoe poʻuli, ʻi he tō ʻae mohe maʻu ki he kakai, ʻi he tulemohe ʻi he mohenga;
16 Then he openeth the eares of men, euen by their corrections, which he had sealed,
ʻOku ne toki fakaongo ʻae telinga ʻoe kakai, ʻo ne pulusi ʻa honau akonakiʻi,
17 That he might cause man to turne away from his enterprise, and that he might hide the pride of man,
Koeʻuhi ke ne taʻofi ʻae tangata mei heʻene ngāue ʻaʻana, pea fufū ʻae fielahi mei he tangata.
18 And keepe backe his soule from the pit, and that his life should not passe by the sword.
ʻOku ne taʻofi mai hono laumālie mei he luo, mo ʻene moʻui ke ʻoua naʻa ʻauha ʻi he heletā.
19 He is also striken with sorow vpon his bed, and the griefe of his bones is sore,
Pea ʻoku ne tautea foki ia ʻaki ʻae mamahi ʻi hono mohenga, mo hono ngaahi hui ʻaki ʻae mamahi lahi:
20 So that his life causeth him to abhorre bread, and his soule daintie meate.
Ko ia ʻoku fehiʻa ai ʻene moʻui ki he mā, mo hono laumālie ki he meʻakai ifo lelei.
21 His flesh faileth that it can not be seene, and his bones which were not seene, clatter.
ʻOku fakaʻaʻau ʻo ʻosi ʻa hono kakano, ʻo ʻikai ʻiloa; pea ʻoku tuʻu mai hono ngaahi hui naʻe ʻikai hā mai.
22 So his soule draweth to the graue, and his life to the buriers.
ʻIo, ʻoku ʻunuʻunu atu hono laumālie ki he faʻitoka, mo ʻene moʻui ki he kau fakaʻauha.
23 If there be a messenger with him, or an interpreter, one of a thousand to declare vnto man his righteousnesse,
“Kapau ʻe ʻiate ia ha faifekau, ko e fakamatala, ko e taha mei he toko taha afe, ke fakahā ki he tangata ʻene māʻoniʻoni:
24 Then will he haue mercie vpon him, and will say, Deliuer him, that he go not downe into the pit: for I haue receiued a reconciliation.
ʻOku toki ʻaloʻofa ai ia kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “Fakamoʻui ia mei he ʻalu hifo ki he luo: kuo u ʻiloʻi ʻae huhuʻi.”
25 Then shall his flesh be as fresh as a childes, and shall returne as in the dayes of his youth.
ʻE moʻui lelei hake hono sino ʻi ha tamasiʻi: ʻe toe foki ia ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻene kei siʻi:
26 He shall pray vnto God, and he will be fauourable vnto him, and he shall see his face with ioy: for he will render vnto man his righteousnes.
ʻE lotu ia ki he ʻOtua, pea ʻe tokanga ia ki ai: pea ʻe mamata ia ki hono fofonga ʻi he fiefia: he te ne totongi ki he tangata ʻa ʻene māʻoniʻoni.
27 He looketh vpon men, and if one say, I haue sinned, and peruerted righteousnesse, and it did not profite me,
ʻOku ne vakai ki he kakai, pea ka pehē ʻe ha taha, ‘Kuo u angahala, pea fakakehe ʻaia ʻoku totonu, pea kuo taʻeʻaonga ia kiate au;
28 He will deliuer his soule from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
ʻE fakahaofi ʻe ia ʻa hono laumālie ke ʻoua naʻa ʻalu hifo ki he luo, pea ʻe mamata ʻene moʻui ki he maama.
29 Lo, all these things will God worke twise or thrise with a man,
“Vakai, ʻoku faʻa fai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko e tangata,
30 That he may turne backe his soule from the pit, to be illuminate in the light of the liuing.
Ke ne toe ʻomi ai hono laumālie mei he luo, pea ne fakamaama ia ʻaki ʻae maama ʻoe moʻui.
31 Marke well, O Iob, and heare me: keepe silence, and I will speake.
Tokanga, ʻe Siope, fakafanongo kiate au: ke ke longo pe, kau lea.
32 If there be matter, answere me, and speak: for I desire to iustifie thee.
Kapau ʻoku ai haʻo lea, tali mai: lea, he ko hoku loto ke ke tonuhia.
33 If thou hast not, heare me: holde thy tongue, and I will teach thee wisedome.
Kapau ʻoku ʻikai, fakafanongo kiate au: ke ke longo pē, kau akonekina koe ke ke poto.
