Siope 31

1 “Naʻa ku fai ʻae fuakava mo hoku mata; pea ka kuo pehē, ko e hā te u siofia ai ha taʻahine?

διαθήκην ἐθέμην τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς μου καὶ οὐ συνήσω ἐπὶ παρθένον

2 He ko e hā ʻae ʻinasi mei he ʻOtua ʻi ʻolunga? Pea mo e tufakanga mei he Māfimafi ʻi ʻolunga?

καὶ τί ἐμέρισεν ὁ θεὸς ἀπάνωθεν καὶ κληρονομία ἱκανοῦ ἐξ ὑψίστων

3 ‌ʻIkai ʻoku ʻi he kau angahala ʻae malaʻia? Mo e fakaʻauha foʻou ki he kau fai kovi?

οὐχὶ ἀπώλεια τῷ ἀδίκῳ καὶ ἀπαλλοτρίωσις τοῖς ποιοῦσιν ἀνομίαν

4 ‌ʻIkai ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi hoku ngaahi hala, pea lau ʻeku ngaahi laka kotoa pē?

οὐχὶ αὐτὸς ὄψεται ὁδόν μου καὶ πάντα τὰ διαβήματά μου ἐξαριθμήσεται

5 “He kapau naʻaku ʻalu ʻi he loi, pea kapau teu veʻe vave ki he kākā;

εἰ δὲ ἤμην πεπορευμένος μετὰ γελοιαστῶν εἰ δὲ καὶ ἐσπούδασεν ὁ πούς μου εἰς δόλον

6 Tuku ke fakamamafa au ʻi he meʻa fakatatau totonu, koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa ʻeku angatonu.

ἱσταίη με ἄρα ἐν ζυγῷ δικαίῳ οἶδεν δὲ ὁ κύριος τὴν ἀκακίαν μου

7 He kapau naʻaku laka hē mei he hala, pea muimui hoku loto ki hoku mata, pe piki ha ʻuli ki hoku nima;

εἰ ἐξέκλινεν ὁ πούς μου ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ εἰ δὲ καὶ τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ ἐπηκολούθησεν ἡ καρδία μου εἰ δὲ καὶ ταῖς χερσίν μου ἡψάμην δώρων

8 Tuku ai ke u tūtuuʻi kae kai ʻe ha taha kehe; ʻio, ke taʻaki fuʻu hake ʻa hoku taʻu.

σπείραιμι ἄρα καὶ ἄλλοι φάγοισαν ἄρριζος δὲ γενοίμην ἐπὶ γῆς

9 “Kapau naʻe kākaaʻi ʻa hoku loto ʻe ha fefine, pe te u toitoi ʻi he matapā ʻo hoku kaungāʻapi;

εἰ ἐξηκολούθησεν ἡ καρδία μου γυναικὶ ἀνδρὸς ἑτέρου εἰ καὶ ἐγκάθετος ἐγενόμην ἐπὶ θύραις αὐτῆς

10 Pea tuku ke momosi ʻa hoku uaifi mo ha taha, pea mapelu ki ai ha niʻihi kehe.

ἀρέσαι ἄρα καὶ ἡ γυνή μου ἑτέρῳ τὰ δὲ νήπιά μου ταπεινωθείη

11 He ko e hia matea ia, ʻio, ko e angahala ke tautea ʻe he kau fakamaau.

θυμὸς γὰρ ὀργῆς ἀκατάσχετος τὸ μιᾶναι ἀνδρὸς γυναῖκα

12 He ko e afi ia ʻoku ne kai ʻo aʻu ki he fakaʻauha, pea ʻe ʻosiʻosingamālie ai ʻeku koloa.

πῦρ γάρ ἐστιν καιόμενον ἐπὶ πάντων τῶν μερῶν οὗ δ’ ἂν ἐπέλθῃ ἐκ ῥιζῶν ἀπώλεσεν

13 “Kapau naʻaku lumaʻi ʻae meʻa ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki pe ko ʻeku kaunanga, ʻi he ʻena fai mo au.

εἰ δὲ καὶ ἐφαύλισα κρίμα θεράποντός μου ἢ θεραπαίνης κρινομένων αὐτῶν πρός με

14 Ko e hā ai te u fai ʻoka tuʻu hake ʻae ʻOtua? Pea ʻoka ʻaʻahi ʻe ia, ko e hā te u tali ʻaki ia?

τί γὰρ ποιήσω ἐὰν ἔτασίν μου ποιήσηται ὁ κύριος ἐὰν δὲ καὶ ἐπισκοπήν τίνα ἀπόκρισιν ποιήσομαι

15 He ʻikai naʻe ngaohi ia ʻe ia naʻa ne ngaohi au ʻi he manāva? Pea ʻikai naʻe fakatupu ʻakimaua ʻosi pe ʻi he manāva ʻe he tokotaha?

πότερον οὐχ ὡς καὶ ἐγὼ ἐγενόμην ἐν γαστρί καὶ ἐκεῖνοι γεγόνασιν γεγόναμεν δὲ ἐν τῇ αὐτῇ κοιλίᾳ

16 “Kapau ne u taʻofi ʻae masiva mei heʻenau holi, pe fai ke vaivai ʻae mata ʻoe fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti;

ἀδύνατοι δὲ χρείαν ἥν ποτ’ εἶχον οὐκ ἀπέτυχον χήρας δὲ τὸν ὀφθαλμὸν οὐκ ἐξέτηξα

17 Pea kuo u kai vale haʻaku meʻa siʻi, ʻo ʻikai te ma kai ia mo e tamai mate;

εἰ δὲ καὶ τὸν ψωμόν μου ἔφαγον μόνος καὶ οὐχὶ ὀρφανῷ μετέδωκα

18 (He ʻoku talu ʻeku lahi hake mo ʻene ʻiate au, ʻo hangē ko haʻane tamai, pea talu ʻeku haʻu mei he manāva ʻo ʻeku faʻē mo ʻeku fakahinohino ia; )

ὅτι ἐκ νεότητός μου ἐξέτρεφον ὡς πατὴρ καὶ ἐκ γαστρὸς μητρός μου ὡδήγησα

19 Kapau kuo u mamata ki ha taha ʻoku mate koeʻuhi ko e telefua, pe ha masiva taʻehakofu;

εἰ δὲ καὶ ὑπερεῖδον γυμνὸν ἀπολλύμενον καὶ οὐκ ἠμφίασα

20 Kapau naʻe ʻikai tāpuaki au ʻe hono noʻotanga vala, pea ʻikai māfana ia ʻi he fulufulu ʻo ʻeku fanga sipi;

ἀδύνατοι δὲ εἰ μὴ εὐλόγησάν με ἀπὸ δὲ κουρᾶς ἀμνῶν μου ἐθερμάνθησαν οἱ ὦμοι αὐτῶν

21 Kapau kuo u hiki hoku nima ki he tamai mate, ʻi heʻeku ʻilo ʻoku ou mālohi ʻi he matapā:

εἰ ἐπῆρα ὀρφανῷ χεῖρα πεποιθὼς ὅτι πολλή μοι βοήθεια περίεστιν

22 ‌ʻOfa ke homo hoku uma mei hoku hui fohe, pea fesiʻi hoku nima ʻi he hokotanga hui.

ἀποσταίη ἄρα ὁ ὦμός μου ἀπὸ τῆς κλειδός ὁ δὲ βραχίων μου ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀγκῶνός μου συντριβείη

23 He ko e fakaʻauha mei he ʻOtua ko e meʻa fakailifia kiate au, pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ngeia naʻe ʻikai te u faʻa kātakiʻi.

φόβος γὰρ κυρίου συνέσχεν με καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ λήμματος αὐτοῦ οὐχ ὑποίσω

24 “He kapau naʻaku ʻamanaki ki he koula, pe te u pehē ki he koula lelei, ‘Ko hoku falalaʻanga koe;’

εἰ ἔταξα χρυσίον ἰσχύν μου εἰ δὲ καὶ λίθῳ πολυτελεῖ ἐπεποίθησα

25 Kapau naʻaku fiefia ʻi he tupu ʻo lahi ʻeku koloa, pea koeʻuhi kuo maʻu lahi ʻe hoku nima;

εἰ δὲ καὶ εὐφράνθην πολλοῦ πλούτου μοι γενομένου εἰ δὲ καὶ ἐπ’ ἀναριθμήτοις ἐθέμην χεῖρά μου

26 Kapau naʻaku siofia ʻae laʻā ʻi heʻene ulo, pe ko e māhina ʻoku hāʻele ʻi he ngingila;

ἦ οὐχ ὁρῶ μὲν ἥλιον τὸν ἐπιφαύσκοντα ἐκλείποντα σελήνην δὲ φθίνουσαν οὐ γὰρ ἐπ’ αὐτοῖς ἐστιν

27 Pea kuo fasiaʻi fufū pe hoku loto, pe ʻuma hoku ngutu ki hoku nima:

καὶ εἰ ἠπατήθη λάθρᾳ ἡ καρδία μου εἰ δὲ καὶ χεῖρά μου ἐπιθεὶς ἐπὶ στόματί μου ἐφίλησα

28 Ko e angahala foki ia ke fakamaauʻi he ka ne pehē, ko ʻeku liʻaki ia ʻae ʻOtua ʻoku ʻi ʻolunga.

καὶ τοῦτό μοι ἄρα ἀνομία ἡ μεγίστη λογισθείη ὅτι ἐψευσάμην ἐναντίον κυρίου τοῦ ὑψίστου

29 He kapau naʻaku fiefia ʻi he ʻauha ʻo ia naʻe fehiʻa kiate au, pe te u angahiki ki ai ʻoka moʻua ia ʻe he kovi:

εἰ δὲ καὶ ἐπιχαρὴς ἐγενόμην πτώματι ἐχθρῶν μου καὶ εἶπεν ἡ καρδία μου εὖγε

30 Ka naʻe ʻikai te u tuku ke angahala ai ʻa hoku ngutu, ʻi he fakaʻamu ke tō ha malaʻia ki hono laumālie.

ἀκούσαι ἄρα τὸ οὖς μου τὴν κατάραν μου θρυληθείην δὲ ἄρα ὑπὸ λαοῦ μου κακούμενος

31 ‌ʻIkai ʻoku faʻa pehē ʻe heʻeku kau nofoʻanga, Naʻe holi ʻe hai ki haʻane meʻakai pea ʻikai mākona ai?

εἰ δὲ καὶ πολλάκις εἶπον αἱ θεράπαιναί μου τίς ἂν δῴη ἡμῖν τῶν σαρκῶν αὐτοῦ πλησθῆναι λίαν μου χρηστοῦ ὄντος

32 Naʻe ʻikai mohe ʻae muli ʻi he hala: ka ne u fakaava hoku matapā ke talia ʻae fononga.

ἔξω δὲ οὐκ ηὐλίζετο ξένος ἡ δὲ θύρα μου παντὶ ἐλθόντι ἀνέῳκτο

33 He naʻaku fufū koā ʻeku angahala ʻo hangē ko ʻAtama, ʻo fakalilolilo ʻeku hia ʻi hoku fatafata?

εἰ δὲ καὶ ἁμαρτὼν ἀκουσίως ἔκρυψα τὴν ἁμαρτίαν μου

34 Pea te u manavahē ki he fuʻu tokolahi? Pe fakailifiaʻi au ʻe he manuki ʻae ngaahi fānau, ke u longo ai, ʻo taʻehū atu ʻi he matapā?

οὐ γὰρ διετράπην πολυοχλίαν πλήθους τοῦ μὴ ἐξαγορεῦσαι ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν εἰ δὲ καὶ εἴασα ἀδύνατον ἐξελθεῖν θύραν μου κόλπῳ κενῷ

35 Taumaiā kuo ʻi ai ha tokotaha ʻe fie fanongo kiate au! Vakai, ko hoku loto ke talia au ʻe he Māfimafi, pea ke fai ha tohi ʻe hoku fili.

τίς δῴη ἀκούοντά μου χεῖρα δὲ κυρίου εἰ μὴ ἐδεδοίκειν συγγραφὴν δέ ἣν εἶχον κατά τινος

36 Ko e moʻoni te u hili ia ki hoku uma, ʻo nonoʻo ia kiate au ʻo hangē ha pale.

ἐπ’ ὤμοις ἂν περιθέμενος στέφανον ἀνεγίνωσκον

37 Te u ʻaʻau atu kiate ia ʻae lau ʻo ʻeku ngaahi laka; te u ʻalu atu ʻo hangē ha ʻeiki ke ofi kiate ia.

καὶ εἰ μὴ ῥήξας αὐτὴν ἀπέδωκα οὐθὲν λαβὼν παρὰ χρεοφειλέτου

38 He kapau kuo tangi ʻe hoku fonua kiate au, pe lāunga ʻa hono ngaahi keliʻanga;

εἰ ἐπ’ ἐμοί ποτε ἡ γῆ ἐστέναξεν εἰ δὲ καὶ οἱ αὔλακες αὐτῆς ἔκλαυσαν ὁμοθυμαδόν

39 Pea kapau kuo u kai taʻetotongi ʻa hono ngaahi fua, pe te u fakamamahiʻi ʻae laumālie ʻokinautolu naʻe tauhi ki ai:

εἰ δὲ καὶ τὴν ἰσχὺν αὐτῆς ἔφαγον μόνος ἄνευ τιμῆς εἰ δὲ καὶ ψυχὴν κυρίου τῆς γῆς ἐκβαλὼν ἐλύπησα

40 ‌ʻOfa ke tupu ai ʻae talatalaʻāmoa ko e fetongi ʻoe uite, mo e ʻakau taʻeʻaonga ko e fetongi ʻoe paʻale.” Kuo ngata ʻae fakamatala ʻa Siope.
