Job 18
1 Respondens autem Baldad Suhites, dixit:
Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe Pilitati mei Suaa, ʻo ne pehē,
2 Usque ad quem finem verba jactabitis? intelligite prius, et sic loquamur.
“ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa pea ke fakangata ʻae lea? Tokanga, pea te mau toki lea.
3 Quare reputati sumus ut jumenta, et sorduimus coram vobis?
Ko e hā kuo lau ai ʻakimautolu ko e fanga manu, pea lau ko e ʻuli ʻi ho ʻao?
4 Qui perdis animam tuam in furore tuo, numquid propter te derelinquetur terra, et transferentur rupes de loco suo?
ʻOku ne haehae ia ʻe ia pe ʻi heʻene ʻita: ʻe liʻaki ʻa māmani koeʻuhi ko koe? Pea ʻe hiki ʻae fuʻu makatuʻu mei hono potu?
5 Nonne lux impii extinguetur, nec splendebit flamma ignis ejus?
“Ko e moʻoni, ʻe tāmateʻi ʻae maama ʻoe angahala, pea ʻe ʻikai ulo ʻae kalofiama ʻo ʻene afi.
6 Lux obtenebrescet in tabernaculo illius, et lucerna quæ super eum est extinguetur.
ʻE fakapoʻuli ʻae maama ʻi hono fale, pea ʻe tāmateʻi ʻa ʻene maama fakataha mo ia.
7 Arctabuntur gressus virtutis ejus, et præcipitabit eum consilium suum.
ʻE fakaʻapiʻapi ʻae lakaʻanga ʻo hono mālohi, pea ʻe lī ki lalo ia ʻe heʻene fakakaukau ʻaʻana.
8 Immisit enim in rete pedes suos, et in maculis ejus ambulat.
He ko hono kauvaʻe ʻoʻona kuo ne lī ia ki he kupenga, pea ʻoku ne ʻeveʻeva ʻi he funga tauhele.
9 Tenebitur planta illius laqueo, et exardescet contra eum sitis.
ʻE moʻua ia ʻe he hele ʻi hono muivaʻe, pea ʻe ikuna ia ʻe he kaihaʻa.
10 Abscondita est in terra pedica ejus, et decipula illius super semitam.
Kuo ʻai ʻae tauhele kiate ia ʻi he kelekele, mo e sokitanu kiate ia ʻi he hala.
11 Undique terrebunt eum formidines, et involvent pedes ejus.
ʻE fakamanavahēʻi ia ʻe he ngaahi meʻa fakailifia mei he potu kotoa pē, pea ʻe fakaveʻevave ia.
12 Attenuetur fame robur ejus, et inedia invadat costas illius.
ʻE kai ʻe he fiekaia ʻa hono mālohi, pea ʻe tali ofi ʻae fakaʻauha ki hono vakavaka.
13 Devoret pulchritudinem cutis ejus; consumat brachia illius primogenita mors.
ʻE fakaʻauha ʻe ia ʻae mālohi ʻo hono sino: ʻio, ko e ʻuluaki fānau ʻoe mate te ne fakaʻauha ʻene mālohi.
14 Avellatur de tabernaculo suo fiducia ejus, et calcet super eum, quasi rex, interitus.
ʻE lī kituʻa mei hono fale ʻa hono falalaʻanga, pea ko ia ʻe ʻomi ia ki he tuʻi ʻoe fakailifia.
15 Habitent in tabernaculo illius socii ejus qui non est; aspergatur in tabernaculo ejus sulphur.
ʻE nofo ia ʻi hono fale, he ʻoku ʻikai ʻoʻona ia: ʻe tūtuuʻi ki hono ʻapi ʻae sulifa.
16 Deorsum radices ejus siccentur: sursum autem atteratur messis ejus.
ʻE mōmoa mei lalo hono ngaahi aka, pea ʻe motuhi mei ʻolunga ʻa hono vaʻa.
17 Memoria illius pereat de terra, et non celebretur nomen ejus in plateis.
Ko hono manatuʻi ʻe ʻauha mei he fonua, pea ʻe ʻikai hano hingoa ʻi he hala.
18 Expellet eum de luce in tenebras, et de orbe transferet eum.
ʻE kapusi ia mei he maama ki he poʻuli, pea ʻe tulia ia mei he māmani.
19 Non erit semen ejus, neque progenies in populo suo, nec ullæ reliquiæ in regionibus ejus.
ʻE ʻikai maʻu ʻe ia ha foha pe mokopuna ʻi hono kakai, ʻe ʻikai toe ha niʻihi ʻi hono ngaahi fale.
20 In die ejus stupebunt novissimi, et primos invadet horror.
Ko kinautolu ʻe muimui ʻiate ia te nau ofo ki hono ʻaho, ʻo hangē ko e ilifia ʻanautolu naʻa nau feangai.
21 Hæc sunt ergo tabernacula iniqui, et iste locus ejus qui ignorat Deum.
Ko e moʻoni ʻoku pehē pe ʻae ngaahi nofoʻanga ʻoe angahala, pea ko eni ʻae potu ʻo ia ʻoku taʻeʻiloʻi ʻae ʻOtua.”
