Job 22
1 And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe Elifasi mei Timani, ʻo ne pehē,
2 ¿ To God will he be of use a man for will he be of use? on him a wise [person].
‘ʻE faʻa ʻaonga ʻae tangata ki he ʻOtua,’ ʻo hangē ʻoku ʻaonga ʻaia ʻoku poto kiate ia pe?
3 ¿ [does] pleasure [belong] to [the] Almighty That you are righteous and or? profit that you make blameless ways your.
He ʻoku ʻaonga ki he Māfimafi ʻa hoʻo māʻoniʻoni? Pe ʻaonga ki ai ʻa hoʻo fakahaohaoa ho ngaahi ʻaluʻanga?
4 ¿ From fear your does he reprove you does he go? with you in judgment.
He te ne tautea koe ko ʻene manavahē kiate koe? Te ne fai koā mo koe ʻae fakamaau?
5 ¿ Not [is] evil your great and not? an end [belongs] to iniquities your.
ʻIkai ʻoku lahi ʻaupito hoʻo angahala? Pea taʻengata mo hoʻo ngaahi hia?
6 For you have held in pledge brothers your without cause and [the] garments of naked [people] you have stripped off.
He kuo ke maʻu taʻetotonu ʻae totongi mei ho kāinga, pea kuo ke faʻao mei he telefua honau kofu.
7 Not water [the] weary you have given to drink and from [the] hungry you have withheld bread.
Naʻe ʻikai te ke fakainua ʻae vaivai ʻaki ʻae vai, pea kuo ke taʻofi ʻae mā mei he fiekaia.
8 And a person of arm [belongs] to him the land and [one] uplifted of face he dwells in it.
Ka naʻe ʻoe tangata mālohi ʻae fonua; pea nofo ai ʻae tangata ongoongolelei.
9 Widows you have sent away with empty hands and [the] arms of fatherless ones it has been crushed.
Kuo ke fekau atu taʻehameʻa ʻae kau fefine kuo mate honau husepāniti, pea kuo fesiʻi ʻae nima ʻoe kau tamai mate.
10 There-fore [are] around you snares and it terrifies you dread suddenly.
Ko ia kuo kāpui ai koe ʻe he ngaahi tauhele, pea ke puputuʻu ʻi he manavahē kuo fakafokifā;
11 Or darkness not you will see and abundance of water it covers you.
Pea ko e fakapoʻuli ke ʻoua naʻa ke mamata, pea ʻufiʻufi koe ʻe he ngaahi vai lahi.
12 ¿ Not [is] God [the] height of heaven and look at [the] top of [the] stars that they are high.
“ʻIkai ʻoku ʻi he langi ʻi ʻolunga ʻae ʻOtua? Pea ke vakai ki hono māʻolunga faufau ʻoe ngaahi fetuʻu lahi!
13 And you say what? does he know God ¿ through thick darkness will he judge.
Ka ke pehē ʻe koe, ‘ʻOku ʻilo fēfē ʻe he ʻOtua? Pea ʻe faʻa fakamaau ʻe ia ʻi he loto ʻao fakapoʻuli?
14 Clouds [are] a hiding place of him and not he will see and [the] circle of heaven he walks about.
Ko e ʻufiʻufi kiate ia ʻae ngaahi ʻao matolu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai te ne mamata ai; pea ʻoku hāʻele pe ia ʻi he hāʻeleʻanga ʻi he langi.’
15 ¿ A path of antiquity will you keep which they have trodden men of wickedness.
He kuo ke fakaʻilongaʻi ʻe koe ʻae hala motuʻa, naʻe fou ai ʻae kakai angahala?
16 Who they were snatched away and not an appropriate time a river it was poured out foundation their.
ʻAkinautolu naʻe tuʻusi hifo ʻi he teʻeki hoko honau kuonga, ʻakinautolu naʻe lōmaki honau tuʻunga ʻaki ʻae vai:
17 Who were saying to God depart from us and what? will he do [the] Almighty to them.
ʻAkinautolu naʻe pehē ki he ʻOtua, ‘ʻAlu ʻiate kimautolu:’ pea, ‘Ko e hā ʻe faʻa fai ʻe he Māfimafi maʻanautolu?’
18 And he he filled houses their good thing[s] and [the] counsel of wicked [people] it is far from me.
Ka naʻa ne fakapito ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei honau ngaahi fale: ka ʻoku mamaʻo ʻiate au ʻae fakakaukau ʻoe angahala.
19 They see [it] righteous [people] so they may rejoice and [the] innocent he mocks them.
ʻOku mamata ki ai ʻae māʻoniʻoni, pea fiefia: pea ʻoku kata manuki kiate kinautolu ʻe he taʻeangahala.
20 If not he has been destroyed adversary our and abundance their it has consumed fire.
‘Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai tuʻusi ʻetau koloa, ka ko honau toe ʻoku fakaʻauha ʻe he afi.’
21 Be reconciled please with him and be at peace by them it will come to you good.
“Fai ke ke ʻiloʻi ia, pea ke melino: pea ko ia ʻe hoko ai ʻae lelei kiate koe.
22 Accept please from mouth his instruction and put words his in heart your.
ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke maʻu ʻae fono mei hono ngutu, pea ke faʻo ki ho loto ʻa ʻene ngaahi folofola.
23 If you will return to [the] Almighty you will be built up you will remove injustice from tent your.
Kapau te ke tafoki ki he Māfimafi, ʻe langa hake koe, pea te ke tukuange ke mamaʻo ʻae hia mei ho ngaahi fale.
24 And put on [the] dust gold and among [the] rock[s] of wadis gold of Ophir.
Pea te ke toki fokotuʻu ʻae koloa ʻo hangē ko e efu, mo e koula ʻo Ofeli ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi maka teka ʻoe tafeʻanga vai.
25 And he will be [the] Almighty gold your and silver of heaps for you.
ʻIo, ʻe hoko ʻae Māfimafi ko ho fakaū, pea te ke maʻu ʻo lahi ʻae siliva.
26 For then on [the] Almighty you will take delight and you may lift up to God face your.
He te ke toki fiefia ʻi he Māfimafi, pea hanga hake ho mata ki he ʻOtua.
27 You will pray to him and he will hear you and vows your you will pay.
Te ke fai haʻo lotu kiate ia, pea te ne ongoʻi koe, pea te ke fai hoʻo ngaahi fuakava.
28 And you may decide a matter and it may be fulfilled for you and on ways your it will shine light.
Te ke tuʻutuʻuni foki ha meʻa, pea ʻe fakamoʻoni ia kiate koe: pea ʻe ulo ʻae maama ki ho ngaahi hala.
29 If people brought low and you said up! and [the] lowly of eyes he will save.
ʻOka ai ha tōkilalo, te ke toki pehē, ‘ʻOku ai ʻae hakeakiʻi;’ pea ʻe fakamoʻui ʻe ia ʻae angavaivai.
30 He will deliver not an innocent [person] and he will be delivered by [the] cleanness of hands your.
ʻE fakahaofi ʻe ia ʻae fonua motu ʻoe taʻeangahala: pea ʻoku hao ia ʻi he māʻoniʻoni ʻo ho nima.”
