Job 5
1 Voca ergo, si est qui tibi respondeat, et ad aliquem sanctorum convertere.
“Ui eni, ka ʻoku ai ha taha te ne talia koe; pea ko hai ʻi he kau māʻoniʻoni te ke hanga ki ai?
2 Vere stultum interficit iracundia, et parvulum occidit invidia.
He ʻoku tāmateʻi ʻe he houhau ʻae tangata vale, pea fakaʻauha ʻe he tuputāmaki ʻae fakavalevale.
3 Ego vidi stultum firma radice, et maledixi pulchritudini eius statim.
Kuo u mamata ki he vale kuo aka, kae fakafokifā ne u tuku hono ʻapi ki he malaʻia.
4 Longe fient filii eius a salute, et conterentur in porta, et non erit qui eruat.
ʻOku mamaʻo ʻene fānau mo e hūfanga, ʻoku taʻomia ʻakinautolu ʻi he matapā, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha fakahaofia.
5 Cuius messem famelicus comedet, et ipsum rapiet armatus, et bibent sitientes divitias eius.
ʻOku kai honau taʻu ʻe he fiekaia, ʻo ne faʻao ia, ʻio, mei he loto ʻakau talatala, pea ʻoku folo hifo ʻe he kaihaʻa ʻenau koloa.
6 Nihil in terra sine causa fit, et de humo non oritur dolor.
Neongo ʻoku ʻikai ʻalu hake mei he efu ʻae angahala, pea ʻoku ʻikai tupu mei he kelekele ʻae mamahi;
7 Homo nascitur ad laborem, et avis ad volatum.
Ka kuo fanauʻi ʻae tangata ki he mamahi, ʻo hangē ko e puna hake ʻae kalofiama.
8 Quam ob rem ego deprecabor Dominum, et ad Deum ponam eloquium meum:
“Ko ia te u kumi ki he ʻOtua, pea te u tuku ʻeku ngāue ki he ʻOtua:
9 Qui facit magna et inscrutabilia et mirabilia absque numero:
He ko ia ia ʻoku ne faʻa fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi mo taʻefaʻaʻilo; ko e ngaahi meʻa fakaofo mo taʻefaʻalaua:
10 Qui dat pluviam super faciem terræ, et irrigat aquis universa:
Ko ia ia ʻoku ne foaki ʻae ʻuha ki he kelekele, pea ne fekau hifo ʻae ngaahi vai ki he tokaʻanga ngoue:
11 Qui ponit humiles in sublime, et mœrentes erigit sospitate:
Koeʻuhi ke hiki ki ʻolunga ʻakinautolu ʻoku māʻulalo; kae hakeakiʻi ke moʻui ʻakinautolu ʻoku tangi.
12 Qui dissipat cogitationes malignorum, ne possint implere manus eorum quod cœperant:
ʻOku ne motuhi ʻae fakakaukau ʻoe fie poto, pea ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fai ai ʻe honau nima ha momoʻi meʻa.
13 Qui apprehendit sapientes in astutia eorum, et consilium pravorum dissipat:
ʻOku ne tauheleʻi ʻae poto ʻi heʻenau fiepoto: pea ko e fakakaukau ʻoe anga pikopiko ʻoku fakataʻeaongaʻi,
14 Per diem incurrent tenebras, et quasi in nocte sic palpabunt in meridie.
ʻOku nau fekitaki mo e poʻuli ʻi he kei ʻaho, pea tautaufā ʻi he hoʻatāmālie ʻo hangē ko e pō.
15 Porro salvum faciet egenum a gladio oris eorum, et de manu violenti pauperem.
Ka ʻoku ne fakahaofia ʻae masiva mei he heletā ʻo honau ngutu, pea mei he nima ʻoe mālohi.
16 Et erit egeno spes, iniquitas autem contrahet os suum.
ʻOku tupu ai ʻi he masiva ʻae ʻamanaki lelei, pea ko e angahala ʻe tāpuni hono ngutu ʻoʻona.
17 Beatus homo qui corripitur a Deo: increpationem ergo Domini ne reprobes:
“Vakai, ʻoku monūʻia ʻae tangata ʻoku tautea ʻe he ʻOtua: ko ia, ʻoua naʻa ke taʻetokangaʻi ʻae tautea mei he Māfimafi:
18 Quia ipse vulnerat, et medetur: percutit, et manus eius sanabunt.
He ʻoku ne fakamamahi, pea ʻoku ne nonoʻo: ʻoku ne hokaʻi, kae fakamoʻui ʻe hono nima ʻoʻona.
19 In sex tribulationibus liberabit te, et in septima non tangent te malum.
ʻE fakahaofi ʻe ia ʻa koe ʻi he mamahi ʻe ono: ʻio, ʻi he meʻa ʻe fitu ʻe ʻikai ha kovi te ne lavaʻi koe.
20 In fame eruet te de morte, et in bello de manu gladii.
Te ne huhuʻi koe mei he mate ʻi he honge: pea mei he mālohi ʻoe heletā ʻi he tau.
21 A flagello linguæ absconderis, et non timebis calamitatem cum venerit.
ʻE fufū koe mei he tautea ʻoe ʻelelo: pea ka haʻu ʻae fakaʻauha ʻe ʻikai te ke manavahē ai.
22 In vastitate, et fame ridebis, et bestias terræ non formidabis.
Te ke kata koe ʻi he fakaʻauha mo e honge: pea ʻe ʻikai te ke manavahē ki he fanga manu fekai ʻoe fonua.
23 Sed cum lapidibus regionum pactum tuum, et bestiæ terræ pacificæ erunt tibi.
He te mou kaumeʻa mo e ngaahi maka ʻoe fonua: pea ʻe fiemālie mo koe ʻae fanga manu ʻoe fonua.
24 Et scies quod pacem habeat tabernaculum tuum, et visitans speciem tuam, non peccabis.
Pea te ke ʻilo ʻe melino pe ho nofoʻanga; te ke ʻaʻahi ki ho ʻapi, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke angahala.
25 Scies quoque quoniam multiplex erit semen tuum, et progenies tua quasi herba terræ.
Pea te ke ʻilo foki ʻe tokolahi ho hako, pea ʻe tatau hoʻo fānau mo e mohuku ʻoe fonua.
26 Ingredieris in abundantia sepulchrum, sicut infertur acervus tritici in tempore suo.
Te ke hoko ki ho tanuʻanga ʻi he motuʻa lelei, ʻo hangē ko e ʻū koane ʻi hono faʻahitaʻu.
27 Ecce, hoc, ut investigavimus, ita est: quod auditum, mente pertracta.
Vakai ko e meʻa ni, kuo mau ʻekea, pea ʻoku pehē pe ia; fanongo ki ai, pea ke ʻilo ia maʻau.
