< Job 35 >

1 And he answered Elihu and he said.
Pea naʻe fai pe ʻe Elihu ʻa ʻene lea, ʻo ne pehē,
2 ¿ This do you consider to justice you have said righteousness my [is] more than God.
“ʻOku ke mahalo ʻoku totonu eni, ʻa hoʻo lea ʻo pehē, ‘Ko ʻeku māʻoniʻoni ʻoku lahi ki he ʻOtua?’
3 For you say what? will it be of use to you what? will I profit from sin my.
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 I I will respond to you words and friends your with you.
Te u tala kiate koe, mo kinautolu ʻoku kaumeʻa mo koe.
5 Look at [the] heavens and see and observe [the] clouds they are high more than you.
Sio ki he ngaahi langi, ʻo mamata; pea vakai ki he ngaahi ʻao ʻaia ʻoku māʻolunga hake ʻiate koe.
6 If you have sinned what? do you do in him and they have been many transgressions your what? do you do to 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 you have been righteous what? do you give to him or what? from hand your does he receive.
Kapau ʻoku ke māʻoniʻoni, ko e hā ʻoku ke foaki kiate ia? Pe ko e hā ia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻi ho nima?
8 [is] for A person like yourself wickedness your and [is] for a child of humankind righteousness your.
‌ʻE kovi nai hoʻo angahala ki he tangata ʻo hangē ko koe; pea ʻe ʻaonga nai hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ki he foha ʻoe tangata.
9 From a multitude of oppression people cry out they cry for help from [the] arm of great [people].
“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 And not anyone has said where? [is] God maker my [who] gives songs in the night.
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 [who] teaches Us more than [the] animals of [the] earth and more than [the] bird[s] of the heavens he makes wise us.
‌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 There they cry out and not he answers because of [the] pride of wicked [people].
‌ʻOku nau tangi ʻi ai, ka ʻoku ʻikai lea ha tokotaha, ko e meʻa ʻi he laukau ʻae kau tangata kovi.
13 Surely emptiness not he hears - God and [the] Almighty not he observes it.
Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai fanongo ʻae ʻOtua ki he launoa, pea ʻe ʻikai tokanga ki ai ʻae Māfimafi.
14 Indeed? if you will say not you observe him [the] case [is] before him so you may wait for 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 And now that not it has punished anger his and not he knows in folly exceedingly.
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 And Job vanity he opens mouth his with not knowledge words he multiplies.
Ko ia ʻoku mafaʻa taʻeʻaonga ai ʻae ngutu ʻo Siope; ʻoku ne fakalahi ʻae ngaahi lea ʻi he taʻeʻilo.
