1 Naʻe ai ʻae tangata ʻi he fonua ko Usa, naʻe hingoa ko Siope; pea naʻe haohaoa mo angatonu ʻae tangata ko ia, pea ne manavahē ia ki he ʻOtua, pea afe mei he kovi.
從前在胡茲地方,有一個人名叫約伯,為人十全十美,生性正直,敬畏天主,遠離邪惡。
2 Pea naʻe fanauʻi kiate ia ʻae foha ʻe toko fitu mo e ʻofefine ʻe toko tolu.
他生了七個兒子,三個女兒。
3 Ko ʻene koloa ko e sipi ʻe fitu afe, mo e kāmeli ʻe tolu afe, mo e taulua fanga pulu ʻe nimangeau, mo e ʻasi fefine ʻe nimangeau, mo e fuʻu ʻapi tokolahi ʻaupito; pea naʻe lahi taha ai ʻae tangata ni ʻi he kakai kotoa pē ʻoe potu hahake.
家畜有七千隻羊,三千駱駝,五百對牛,五百母驢,且有很多僕人。此人是當時東方人民中最偉大的人物。
4 Pea naʻe faʻa fai ʻe hono ngaahi foha ʻae kātoanga kai ʻi honau ngaahi fale, ʻo taki taha ʻi hono ʻaho; pea naʻe tala ki honau tuofefine ʻe toko tolu ke kai mo inu mo kinautolu.
他的每個兒子,按日輪流在家中設宴,且派人邀請他們的三個姊妹來一同宴飲。
5 Pea kuo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻenau fai kātoanga, naʻe fekau ʻe Siope ke fakatapui ʻakinautolu, pea ne tuʻu hengihengi hake, ʻo ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu ʻo fakatatau ki honau tokolahi kotoa pē: he naʻe pehē ʻe Siope, naʻa kuo angahala ʻa hoku ngaahi foha, ʻo lea kovi ki he ʻOtua ʻi honau loto. Naʻe fai pehē pe ʻa Siope ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
及至宴飲的日子輪流一週,約伯總是派人召集他們來聖潔他們,清早起來照子女的數目,獻上全燔祭品說:「恐怕我的兒子犯了罪,心中詛咒了天主。」約伯常常如此行事。
6 Ka naʻe ai ʻae ʻaho naʻe fakataha ai ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe ʻOtua ke fakahā ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe haʻu ai foki ʻa Sētane mo kinautolu.
有一天,天主的眾子都來侍立在上主面前,撒殫也夾在他們當中。
7 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Ko hoʻo haʻu mei fē?” Pea tali ʻe Sētane kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Mei heʻeku fakatakamilo ʻa māmani mo ʻeku feʻaluʻaki fano ʻi ai.”
上主問撒殫說:「你從那裏來﹖」撒殫回答上主說:「我走遍了世界,周遊了各地回來。」
8 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Kuo ke tokangaʻi ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Siope, he ʻoku ʻikai hano tatau ʻi māmani, ko e tangata haohaoa mo angatonu, ʻoku manavahē ia ki he ʻOtua, pea afe mei he kovi?”
上主對撒殫說:「你曾留心注意到我的僕人約伯沒有﹖因為世上沒有一個像他那樣十全十美,生性正直,敬畏天主,遠避邪惡的人。」
9 Pea naʻe tali ai ʻe Sētane kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “He kuo manavahē ʻa Siope ki he ʻOtua taʻehatotongi?
撒殫回答上主說:「約伯那裏是無緣無故敬畏天主的呢﹖
10 ‌ʻIkai kuo ke takatakai ʻaki ia ʻae ʻā, mo hono fale, mo ʻene meʻa kotoa pē mei he potu kotoa pē? Pea kuo ke fakamonūʻiaʻi ʻae ngāue ʻa hono nima, pea ʻoku tupulekina ʻene koloa ʻi he fonua.
你不是四面保護他、他的家庭和他所有的一切麼﹖並且凡是他親手做的,你都祝福了;你使他的牲畜在地上繁殖增多。
11 Kae mafao atu eni ho nima, ʻo taaʻi ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻana, pea te ne lauʻikoviʻi koe ʻi ho fofonga.”
但是你若伸手打擊他所有的一切,他必定當面詛咒你。」
12 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻi ho nima ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻana; kaeʻoua naʻa ke hilifaki ho nima kiate ia.” Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Sētane mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
上主對撒殫說:「看,他所有的一切,都隨你處理,只是不要伸手加害他的身體。」撒殫遂離開天主走了。
13 Pea naʻe ai ʻae ʻaho naʻe kai mo inu uaine ʻe hono ngaahi foha mo hono ngaahi ʻofefine ʻi he fale ʻo honau taʻokete lahi:
有一天,他的兒子同他的女兒,正在長兄家裏歡宴飲酒的時候,
14 Pea naʻe haʻu ai ʻae talafekau kia Siope, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻe fai ʻae keli ʻe he fanga pulu, pea kai ʻae fanga ʻasi ʻi he potu ofi ki ai:
有個帶信的人跑來向約伯說:「牛正在耕田,母驢在一旁吃草的時候,
15 Pea naʻe ʻoho mai ʻae kakai Sipa ʻo ʻave ʻakinautolu; pea kuo nau tāmateʻi ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā; pea ko au pe kuo hao ke tala ia kiate koe.”
舍巴人突然闖來將牲口搶了去,用刀將那些僕人殺了,只有我一人逃脫,來向你報告。」
16 Pea lolotonga ʻene lea mo ʻene haʻu foki ʻae tokotaha, ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo tō mai mei he langi ʻae afi ʻae ʻOtua, pea kuo vela ai ʻae fanga sipi, mo e kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu; pea ko au pe kuo hao ke tala ia kiate koe.”
這人還在報告時,另一個人跑來說:「天主的火由天降下,將羊群和僕人都燒死了,只有我一人逃脫,來向你報告。」
17 Pea lolotonga ʻene lea mo ʻene haʻu foki ʻae tokotaha, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻe vahe tolu ʻae kongakau Kalitia, ʻonau ʻoho mai ki he fanga kāmeli, pea ʻave ia, pea kuo nau tāmateʻi ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā; pea ko au pe kuo hao ke tala ia kiate koe.”
這人還在報告時,另一個人跑來說:「加色丁人分成三隊闖入駱駝群,將駱駝搶走了,用刀將僕人殺了,只有我一人逃脫,來向你報告。」
18 Pea lolotonga ʻene lea mo ʻene haʻu foki ʻae tokotaha, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻe kai mo inu uaine ʻa ho ngaahi foha mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine ʻi he fale ʻo honau taʻokete lahi:
這人還在報告時,另一個人跑來說:「你的兒女正在長兄家宴飲的時候,
19 Pea ʻiloange, kuo hā mai ʻae fuʻu matangi lahi mei he toafa, ʻo taaʻi hono tuliki ʻe fā ʻoe fale, pea naʻe holo ia ki he kau talavou, pea kuo nau mate; pea ko au pe kuo hao ke tala ia kiate koe.”
忽然從曠野那邊吹來一陣颶風,颳倒了房屋的四角,壓死了你的孩子,只有我一人幸免,來向你報告。」
20 Pea naʻe toki tuʻu hake ʻa Siope, ʻo ne haehae hono pulupulu, ʻo fakatekefua ia, pea fakafoʻohifo ki he kelekele, ʻo hū.
約伯就起來,撕裂了自己的外氅,剃去頭髮,俯伏在地叩拜,
21 ‌ʻO ne pehē, “Naʻaku haʻu telefua pe mei he manāva ʻo ʻeku faʻē, pea te u toe ʻalu telefua atu pe: naʻe foaki ʻe Sihova, pea kuo toʻo atu ʻe Sihova; fakafetaʻi pe ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.”
說「我赤身脫離母胎,也要赤身歸去;上主賜的,上主收回。願上主的名受到讚美! 」
22 ‌ʻI he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē naʻe ʻikai angahala ʻa Siope, pe tuku ha kovi ki he ʻOtua.
就這一切事而論,約伯並沒有犯罪,也沒有說抱怨天主的話。
