< Job 3 >

1 Aftir these thingis Joob openyde his mouth,
Pea hili ia naʻe mafaʻa ʻae ngutu ʻo Siope, ʻo ne lauʻikoviʻi ʻa hono ʻaho.
2 and curside his dai, and seide, Perische the dai in which Y was borun,
Pea lea ʻa Siope, ʻo ne pehē,
3 and the nyyt in which it was seid, The man is conceyued.
“Ke ʻauha ʻae ʻaho naʻe fanauʻi ai au, mo e pō ko ia naʻe kalanga ai, ‘Kuo fanauʻi ʻae tama tangata.’
4 Thilke dai be turnede in to derknessis; God seke not it aboue, and be it not in mynde, nethir be it liytned with liyt.
Ke fakapoʻuli ʻae ʻaho ko ia; ke ʻoua naʻa tokanga ki ai ʻae ʻOtua mei ʻolunga, pea ʻoua naʻa ulo ai ʻae maama.
5 Derknessis make it derk, and the schadewe of deeth and myist occupie it; and be it wlappid with bittirnesse.
Ke maʻu ia ʻe he fakapoʻuli mo e ʻata ʻoe mate; ke heka maʻu ki ai ʻae ʻao matolu; ke fakailifia ia ʻe he fakapoʻuli ʻoe ʻaho.
6 Derk whirlwynde holde that niyt; be it not rikynyd among the daies of the yeer, nethir be it noumbrid among the monethes.
Ke ʻohofi ʻae pō ko ia ʻe he fakapoʻuli matolu; ke ʻoua naʻa fakahoko ia ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe taʻu, pe kau ia ʻi he lau ʻoe ngaahi māhina.
7 Thilke nyyt be soleyn, and not worthi of preisyng.
‌ʻIo, ke lala ʻae pō ko ia, ke ʻoua naʻa ʻi ai ha leʻo fakafiefia.
8 Curse thei it, that cursen the dai, that ben redi to reise Leuyathan.
Ke kapeʻi ia ʻekinautolu ʻoku laukoviʻi ʻae ʻaho, ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau teu ke fai hake ʻenau lāunga.
9 Sterris be maad derk with the derknesse therof; abide it liyt, and se it not, nethir the bigynnyng of the morwetid risyng vp.
Ke fakapoʻuli ʻae ngaahi fetuʻu ʻo hono efiafi poʻuli; ke holi ia ki he maama, kaeʻoua siʻi naʻa ʻi ai; pea ʻoua naʻa ʻilo ʻe ia ʻae maʻa ʻae ʻaho:
10 For it closide not the doris of the wombe, that bar me, nethir took awei yuels fro min iyen.
Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai ke tāpuni ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻoe manāva kiate au, pe fufū ʻae mamahi mei hoku mata.
11 Whi was not Y deed in the wombe? whi yede Y out of the wombe, and perischide not anoon?
“Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ai te u mate mei he manāva? Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ai te u tukuange hoku laumālie ʻi heʻeku haʻu mei he fatu?
12 Whi was Y takun on knees? whi was Y suclid with teetis?
Ko e hā naʻe tali teu ʻai au ʻe he foʻi tui? Mo e huhu koeʻuhi ke u huhu ai?
13 For now Y slepynge schulde be stille, and schulde reste in my sleep,
He ka ne ʻikai, pehē kuo u tokoto taʻengāue eni pea longo pe, pea u mohe pe ʻo mālōlō ai,
14 with kyngis, and consuls of erthe, that bilden to hem soleyn places;
‌ʻO fakataha mo e ngaahi tuʻi mo e ngaahi pule ʻo māmani, naʻa nau langa moʻonautolu ʻae ngaahi potu naʻe lala;
15 ethir with prynces that han gold in possessioun, and fillen her housis with siluer;
Pea fakataha mo e ngaahi ʻeiki naʻe maʻu koula, naʻa nau fakapito honau ngaahi fale ʻaki ʻae siliva:
16 ethir as a `thing hid not borun Y schulde not stonde, ethir whiche conseyued sien not liyt.
Pea teu ʻikai ʻo hangē ko e tama tō ʻi he fufū; ʻo hangē ko e fānau ʻoku ʻikai mamata ki he maama.
17 There wickid men ceessiden of noise, and there men maad wery of strengthe restiden.
‌ʻOku ngata ʻi ai ʻae fakamamahi ʻe he kau angahala; pea mālōlō ʻi ai ʻae kau ongosia.
18 And sum tyme boundun togidere with out disese thei herden not the voys of the wrongful axere.
‌ʻOku mālōlō fakataha ai ʻae kau pōpula; ʻoku ʻikai ke nau ongoʻi ai ʻae leʻo ʻoe fakamālohi.
19 A litil man and greet man be there, and a seruaunt free fro his lord.
‌ʻOku ʻi ai ʻae iiki mo e lalahi; pea tauʻatāina ai ʻae tamaioʻeiki mei heʻene ʻeiki.
20 Whi is liyt youun to the wretche, and lijf to hem that ben in bitternesse of soule?
“Ko e hā ʻoku tuku ai ʻae maama kiate ia ʻoku ʻi he mamahi, mo e moʻui kiate ia ʻoku laumālie mamahi;
21 Whiche abiden deeth, and it cometh not;
‌ʻAia ʻoku holi ki he mate, ka ʻoku ʻikai ia; pea lahi ʻene kumi ki ai ʻi heʻene kumi ki he ngaahi koloa fufū;
22 as men diggynge out tresour and ioien greetly, whanne thei han founde a sepulcre?
‌ʻAkinautolu ʻoku nekeneka ʻaupito, mo fiefia, ʻoka nau ka ʻilo ʻae faʻitoka?
23 Whi is liyt youun to a man, whos weie is hid, and God hath cumpassid hym with derknessis?
[Ko e hā kuo foaki ai ʻae maama ]ki he tangata kuo fakapuli hono hala, pea kuo ʻākilotoa ia ʻe he ʻOtua?
24 Bifore that Y ete, Y siyhe; and as of watir flowynge, so is my roryng.
He ʻoku muʻomuʻa ʻeku ngaahi toʻe ki heʻeku kai, pea ko ʻeku tangi kalanga ʻoku lilingi atu ʻo hangē ko e vai.
25 For the drede, which Y dredde, cam to me; and that, that Y schamede, bifelde.
Hē ko e meʻa ne u manavahē lahi ki ai kuo tō ia kiate au, pea ko ia ne u ilifia ai kuo hoko mai.
26 Whether Y dissymilide not? whether Y was not stille? whether Y restide not? and indignacioun cometh on me.
Naʻe ʻikai te u fiemālie, pe te u mālōlō, pe te u nofo noa pe; ka naʻe hoko pe ʻae mamahi.”
