Siope 15
1 Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe Elifasi mei Timani, ʻo ne pehē,
A LAILA olelo aku o Elipaza, no Temana, i mai la,
2 “He ʻoku taau mo e tangata poto ke lau meʻa vaʻinga, mo fakapito hono kete ʻaki ʻae matangi hahake?
E hai aku anei ka mea naauao i ka manao makani? A e hoopiha i kona opu i ka makani hikina?
3 ʻOku taau ʻene leaʻaki ʻae lea taʻeʻaonga? Pe ko e ngaahi lau ʻe ʻikai te ne lavaʻi ʻaki ha lelei?
E ao aku anei ia me ka olelo pono ole? A me na olelo kokua ole mai?
4 ʻIo, ʻoku ke liʻaki ʻae manavahē, pea ke taʻofi ʻae lotu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.
Aka, ua hoole oe i ka makau, A ua hooemi iho oe i ka pule imua o ke Akua,
5 He ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻe ho ngutu ʻa hoʻo angahala, ka ʻoku ke fili ki he ʻelelo ʻoe fakaoloolo.
No ka mea, ke ao nei kou waha i kou hewa, A ke koho nei oe i ke alelo o ka poe maalea.
6 ʻOku talatalaakiʻi koe ʻe ho ngutu pe ʻoʻou, kae ʻikai ko au: ʻio, ko ho loungutu pe ʻoʻou ʻoku fakamoʻoni kiate koe.
Ke hoohewa nei kou waha ia oe, aole owau; A ke hoike nei kou lehelehe ia oe.
7 “He ko e ʻuluaki tangata koe naʻe fanauʻi? Pe naʻe fakatupu koe ʻi muʻa ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga?
O oe anei ke kanaka makamua i hanau ai? Ua hanauia anei oe mamua o na puu?
8 He kuo ke fanongo ʻe koe ki he meʻa fufū ʻae ʻOtua? Pea ʻoku ke fakangata ʻae poto kiate koe?
Ua lohe anei oe ma ka ahaolelo a ke Akua? A ke hoopaa nei anei oe i ka naauao ia oe iho?
9 Ko e hā ʻoku ke ʻilo, ka ʻoku ʻikai te mau ʻilo? Ko e hā ʻoku ke ʻilo pau, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kimautolu?
Heaha kau e ike nei, a ike ole makou ia? Heaha ka mea maopopo ia oe, aole hoi maloko o makou ia?
10 ʻOku ʻiate kimautolu ʻae ʻuluhinā mo e kau mātuʻa, ʻoku motuʻa lahi ʻi hoʻo tamai.
Me makou ke poohina a me ka mea kahiko, Ua oi aku ko lakou mau la mamua o ko kou makuakane.
11 He ʻoku siʻi ʻae ngaahi fakafiemālie ʻae ʻOtua kiate koe? He ʻoku ai ha meʻa fakalilolilo ʻiate koe?
He mea uuku anei ia oe na hooluolu o ke Akua? He mea huna anei kekahi ia oe?
12 Ko e hā ʻoku ʻāvea ai koe ʻe ho loto? Pea ʻoku lalama ho mata ʻi he hā.
No ke aha la e lawe aku nei kou naau ia oe? A i ke aha hoi kou mau maka e imoimo mai nei,
13 Koeʻuhi ʻoku ke fakafoki ho loto ke tuʻu ki he ʻOtua, pea tuku ke tafe ʻae ngaahi lea ni mei ho ngutu?
I hoohuli ae ai oe i kou naau e ku e i ke Akua, A e hoopuka ae ia mau huaolelo mai kou waha mai?
14 Ko e hā ʻae tangata, ke pehē ʻoku maʻa ia? Pe ha taha ʻoku fanauʻi ʻe he fefine, ke pehē ʻoku tonuhia ia?
Heaha ke kanaka, i maemae ai oia? A o ka mea i hanauia e ka wahine, i pono ai oia?
15 Vakai, ʻoku ʻikai falala siʻi ʻe ia ki heʻene kau māʻoniʻoni; ʻio, naʻa mo e ngaahi langi ʻoku ʻikai maʻa ia ʻi hono ʻao.
Aia hoi, aole ia e hilinai i kona poe hemolele; Aole hoi i maemae na lani i kona mau maka.
16 Ka ʻe fēfē hono lahi hake ʻoe fakalielia mo e ʻuli ʻoe tangata, ʻaia ʻoku ne inumia ʻae angahala ʻo hangē ha vai?
He oiaio hoi, ua hoopailuaia, a ua haumia hoi ke kanaka, Ka mea e inu ana i ka hewa me he wai la?
17 “Te u fakahā kiate koe, fanongo kiate au; pea ko ia kuo u mamata ai te u fakamatala atu;
E hai aku au ia oe, o hoolohe mai ia'u; A o ka mea a'u i ike ai, oia ka'u e hoike aku ana;
18 ʻAia naʻe tala ʻe he kakai poto mei heʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻo ʻikai fufū ia:
Ka mea a ka poe naauao i hai mai, Aole hoi i huna, mai ko lakou poe makua mai:
19 ʻAkinautolu pē naʻe foaki ki ai ʻae fonua, pea naʻe ʻikai feʻaluʻaki ha muli ʻiate kinautolu.
No lakou wale no i haawiia ka honua, Aole i hele ka malihini iwaena o lakou.
20 ʻOku langa mamahi ʻae tangata angahala ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, pea ʻoku fufū mei he fakaaoao ʻae lau ʻoe ngaahi taʻu.
I na la a pau, ua ehaeha ke kanaka hewa, A o ka huina o na makahiki, ua hunaia i ka mea hookaumaha.
21 Ko e ongo fakailifia ʻoku ʻi hono telinga: ʻi he lolotonga ʻo ʻene monūʻia ʻe hoko kiate ia ʻae fakaʻauha.
He leo hooweliweli maloko o kona pepeiao; Iloko ia o ka pomaikai, A e hele mai ka mea luku maluna ona.
22 ʻOku ʻikai ʻamanaki ʻe ia ke ne liu mai mei he fakapoʻuli, pea ʻoku talia ia ʻe he heletā.
Aole ona manao e hoi hou mai, mailoko mai o ka pouli, A ua kakali oia i ka pahikaua.
23 ʻOku ʻalu fano pe ia ʻo kumi ʻae mā, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko mā ia?’ ʻOku ne ʻilo ʻoku ofi ʻae ʻaho ʻoe fakapoʻuli.
E auwana no ia i ka imi ai, Auhea ia? A ke ike nei no ia, ua makaukau ka la o ka pouli, ua kokoke.
24 ʻE fakamanavahēʻi ia ʻe he mamahi mo e feinga; te na ikuna ia, ʻo hangē ha tuʻi kuo teu ki he tuʻa.
E hoomakau ke kaumaha, a me ka popilikia ia ia; E lanakila laua maluna ona, me he alii la i makaukau no ke kaua.
25 He ʻoku ne mafao atu hono nima ki he ʻOtua, ʻo ne fakamālohi ia ʻo tuʻu ki he Māfimafi.
No ka mea, ua o ku e aku ia i kona lima i ke Akua, Ua hookiekie aku ia ia iho i ka Mea mana.
26 ʻOku ne ʻohofi kiate ia, ʻio, ki hono kia, ki he ngaahi potu matolu ʻo hono sifa fatafata:
Wahi aku no ia maluna ona me ka a-i aa, Me ka manoa o na niho o kaua palekaua:
27 Koeʻuhi ʻoku ne fai ke fuʻu pupula hono mata, pea ne fangapesi ke matolu ʻae ngako ʻi hono ngaahi potu.
No ka mea, ua hoouhi oia i kona maka me ka momona, A kau no ia i ka momona maluna o na puupaa.
28 Ka ʻoku ne nofo ʻi he ngaahi kolo lala, ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoku ʻikai nofo ai ha taha, ʻaia kuo tuʻutuʻuni ko e ngaahi tuʻunga veve.
A noho iho no ia i na kulanakauhale neoneo, Iloko o na hale, aohe mea noho ilaila, Na mea i makaukau e lilo i mau puu.
29 ʻE ʻikai koloaʻia ia, ʻe ʻikai tuʻumaʻu ʻene ngaahi meʻa, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne faʻa fai ke fakatolonga hono lelei ʻi he fonua.
Aole e hoolakoia oia, Aole hoi e mau kana waiwai, Aole hoi e hoopalahalaha i ka lakou loaa ma ka honua,
30 ʻE ʻikai ʻalu ia mei he fakapoʻuli; ʻe mangia ʻe he afi ʻa hono ngaahi vaʻa, pea ʻi he mānava ʻo hono fofonga ʻe mole atu ia.
Aole ia e pakele mailoko mai o ka pouli; E hoomaloo ka lapalapa i kona mau lala, A e laweia'ku oia ma ka ha o kona waha.
31 Ke ʻoua naʻa falala ia ʻaia kuo kākaaʻi ki he vaʻinga: ko hono totongi ko e vaʻinga pe.
O ka mea i puni, mai hilinai oia i ka mea lapuwale: No ka mea, e lilo ka lapuwale i uku nona.
32 ʻE fakamoʻoni eni ʻi he teʻeki hoko hono ʻaho, pea ʻe ʻikai maʻuiʻui hono vaʻa.
Mamua o kona manawa, e okiia'ku ia, Aole e uliuli kona lala.
33 ʻE lulu ʻe ia ke tō hono fuhi kālepi taʻemomoho ʻo hangē pe ko e vaine, pea te ne fakamokulu hono fisi ʻo hangē pē ko e ʻolive.
E like me ke kumu waina, e hoohelelei ia i kona huawaina pala ole, A e like me ka laau oliva, e hoohaule ia i kona pua.
34 He koeʻuhi ʻe lala ʻae fakatahaʻanga ʻoe kau angahala, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻe he afi ʻae ngaahi fale naʻe maʻu ʻaki ʻae koloa kovi.
No ka mea, e hua ole ka ohana a ka aia, A e hoopau ke ahi i na halelewa a ke kipe.
35 ʻOku nau tuʻituʻia ʻi he pauʻu, pea nau fanauʻi ʻae vaʻinga, pea ʻoku teuteu ʻe honau loto ʻae kākā.
Hapai lakou, he kolohe, a hanau mai, he hewa; A noonoo ko lakou opu i ka wahahee.
