Job 35
1 Elihu spake moreouer, and said,
Pea naʻe fai pe ʻe Elihu ʻa ʻene lea, ʻo ne pehē,
2 Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God?
“ʻOku ke mahalo ʻoku totonu eni, ʻa hoʻo lea ʻo pehē, ‘Ko ʻeku māʻoniʻoni ʻoku lahi ki he ʻOtua?’
3 For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me from my sinne?
He naʻa ke pehē, ‘Ko e hā hono ʻaonga kiate koe? Pea ko e hā ʻae totongi te u maʻu [ʻo kapau ʻe fakamaʻa ]au mei heʻeku angahala?’
4 Therefore will I answere thee, and thy companions with thee.
Te u tala kiate koe, mo kinautolu ʻoku kaumeʻa mo koe.
5 Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou.
Sio ki he ngaahi langi, ʻo mamata; pea vakai ki he ngaahi ʻao ʻaia ʻoku māʻolunga hake ʻiate koe.
6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him?
Kapau ʻoku ke fai angahala, ko e hā ʻoku ke fai kiate ia? Pea kapau kuo tupu ʻo lahi ʻa hoʻo talangataʻa, ko e hā ʻoku ke fai kiate ia?
7 If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand?
Kapau ʻoku ke māʻoniʻoni, ko e hā ʻoku ke foaki kiate ia? Pe ko e hā ia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻi ho nima?
8 Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne of man.
ʻE kovi nai hoʻo angahala ki he tangata ʻo hangē ko koe; pea ʻe ʻaonga nai hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ki he foha ʻoe tangata.
9 They cause many that are oppressed, to crye, which crye out for ye violence of the mightie.
“Ko e meʻa ʻi he lahi ʻoe ngaahi meʻa fakamālohi ʻoku tangi ai ʻae kau fakamālohia, ʻoku nau tangi kalanga ʻi he nima ʻoe mālohi.
10 But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght?
Ka ʻoku ʻikai pehē ʻe ha taha, ‘Kofaʻā ia ʻae ʻOtua ko hoku tupuʻanga, ʻaia ʻoku ne foaki ʻae ngaahi hiva ʻi he pō;
11 Which teacheth vs more then the beastes of the earth, and giueth vs more wisdome then the foules of the heauen.
ʻAia ʻoku ako lahi hake kiate kitautolu ʻi he ngaahi manu ʻoe fonua, ʻo ne fakapoto lahi hake ʻakitautolu ʻi he ngaahi manupuna ʻoe ʻatā?’
12 Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not.
ʻOku nau tangi ʻi ai, ka ʻoku ʻikai lea ha tokotaha, ko e meʻa ʻi he laukau ʻae kau tangata kovi.
13 Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it.
Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai fanongo ʻae ʻOtua ki he launoa, pea ʻe ʻikai tokanga ki ai ʻae Māfimafi.
14 Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him.
Naʻa ke lea, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai te ke mamata kiate ia, ka ʻoku ʻi hono ʻao ʻae fakamaau, ko ia ke ke falala kiate ia.
15 But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie,
Ka koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai pehē eni, ko ia kuo ne ʻaʻahi ai ʻi hono houhau; ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo ia ʻi he mamahi lahi:
16 Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.
Ko ia ʻoku mafaʻa taʻeʻaonga ai ʻae ngutu ʻo Siope; ʻoku ne fakalahi ʻae ngaahi lea ʻi he taʻeʻilo.
