Siope 32
1 Naʻe tuku ai ʻe he kau tangata ʻe toko tolu ni ʻenau lea atu kia Siope, koeʻuhi naʻe māʻoniʻoni ia ʻi hono mata ʻoʻona.
So these three men ceased to answere Iob, because he esteemed himselfe iust.
2 Pea naʻe tupu ʻae ʻita ʻa Elihu ko e foha ʻo Palakela ko e tangata Pusa, ʻi he kāinga ʻo Lame: naʻe tupu ʻene ʻita kia Siope, koeʻuhi naʻa ne fakatonuhiaʻi ia ʻe ia kae ʻikai ko e ʻOtua.
Then the wrath of Elihu the sonne of Barachel the Buzite, of the familie of Ram, was kindled: his wrath, I say, was kindled against Iob, because he iustified himselfe more then God.
3 Naʻe ʻita foki ia ki hono kāinga ʻe toko tolu, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa talia ʻa Siope, ka kuo nau talatalaakiʻi ia.
Also his anger was kindled against his three friends, because they could not finde an answere, and yet condemned Iob.
4 Ka naʻe tatali ʻa Elihu kaeʻoua ke ʻosi ʻae lea ʻa Siope, koeʻuhi naʻa nau motuʻa ʻiate ia.
(Now Elihu had wayted til Iob had spoken: for they were more ancient in yeeres then he)
5 Pea ʻi he vakai ʻa Elihu kuo ʻikai ha tali ʻi he ngutu ʻoe kau tangata ʻe toko tolu ni, naʻe tupu ʻene ʻita.
So when Elihu saw, that there was none answere in the mouth of the three men, his wrath was kindled.
6 Pea naʻe lea ʻa Elihu ko e foha ʻo Palakela ko e tangata Pusa, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou siʻi au, kae motuʻa ʻakimoutolu; ko ia ne u manavahē ai, ʻo taʻefiefakahā ʻa hoku loto.
Therefore Elihu the sonne of Barachel, the Buzite answered, and sayd, I am yong in yeres, and ye are ancient: therefore I doubted, and was afraide to shewe you mine opinion.
7 Ne u pehē, ‘ʻE lea ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, pea ʻe akonekina ke poto ʻe he ngaahi taʻu lahi.’
For I said, The dayes shall speake, and the multitude of yeeres shall teach wisedome.
8 Ka ʻoku ai ʻae laumālie ʻi he tangata, pea ʻoku foaki kiate ia ʻae ʻilo lahi ʻe he fakamānava ʻae Māfimafi.
Surely there is a spirite in man, but the inspiration of the Almightie giueth vnderstanding.
9 ʻOku ʻikai poto ʻae houʻeiki kotoa pē, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ʻe he mātuʻa ʻae fakamaau.
Great men are not alway wise, neither doe the aged alway vnderstand iudgement.
10 Ko ia ne u pehē ai, ‘Fanongo mai kiate au; te u fakahā foki hoku loto.’
Therefore I say, Heare me, and I will shew also mine opinion.
11 “Vakai, ne u tatali ki hoʻomou ngaahi lea; naʻaku fakafanongo ki hoʻomou ngaahi fakamatala, ʻi he lolotonga homou hakule ki haʻamou lea.
Behold, I did waite vpon your wordes, and hearkened vnto your knowledge, whiles you sought out reasons.
12 ʻIo, ne u tokangaʻi ʻakimoutolu, pea vakai, kuo ʻikai ha taha ʻiate kimoutolu kuo ne lavaʻi ʻa Siope, pe tali ʻene ngaahi lea:
Yea, when I had considered you, lo, there was none of you that reproued Iob, nor answered his wordes:
13 Telia naʻa mou pehē, ‘Kuo mau ʻiloʻi ʻae poto: ʻoku lī hifo ia ʻe he ʻOtua, kae ʻikai ko e tangata.’
Lest ye should say, We haue found wisedome: for God hath cast him downe, and no man.
14 Pea ko eni, naʻe ʻikai te ne lea fakatotonu mai kiate au: pea ʻe ʻikai te u tali ʻaki ia ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi lea.
Yet hath he not directed his words to me, neyther will I answere him by your wordes.
15 “Naʻe ofo ʻakinautolu, ʻo ʻikai te nau toe lea: pea fakalongo pe.
Then they fearing, answered no more, but left off their talke.
16 Pea kuo u tatali, (he naʻe ʻikai te nau lea, kae tutuʻu pe, ʻo ʻikai toe lea: )
When I had wayted (for they spake not, but stood still and answered no more)
17 Pea ne u pehē, ‘Te u tali foki ʻeau ʻi hoku lakanga, te u fakahā foki hoku loto.’
Then answered I in my turne, and I shewed mine opinion.
18 He ʻoku ou pito ʻi he ngaahi lea, ʻoku fakangaueʻi au ʻe hoku laumālie.
For I am full of matter, and the spirite within me compelleth me.
19 Vakai, ʻoku tatau hoku loto mo e uaine taʻehanoava; ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi hina ʻoe uaine foʻou, ʻoku toe siʻi pea mahaehae.
Beholde, my belly is as the wine, which hath no vent, and like the new bottels that brast.
20 Te u lea kau fiemālie: te u faʻai hoku loungutu ʻo tali.
Therefore will I speake, that I may take breath: I will open my lippes, and will answere.
21 ʻOfa ke ʻoua naʻaku filifilimānako ki ha taha, pea ʻoua naʻaku ʻai ʻae hingoa fakalapu ki ha tangata.
I will not now accept the person of man, neyther will I giue titles to man.
22 He ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ke ʻai ʻae hingoa lapu; telia naʻa ʻave fakavave ai au ʻe hoku Tupuʻanga.
For I may not giue titles, lest my Maker should take me away suddenly.
