1Then Job answered, and said:
1Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe Siope, ʻo ne pehē,
2How long do you afflict my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
2ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa mo hoʻomou fakafiuʻi hoku laumālie, mo lailaiki ʻaki au ʻae ngaahi lea.
3Behold, these ten times you confound me, and are not ashamed to oppress me.
3Ko hono liunga hongofulu eni mo hoʻomou manukiʻi au: pea ʻoku ʻikai te mou mā ʻi hoʻomou fai ʻo hangē ko e kau muli kiate au.
4For if I have been ignorant, my ignorance shall be with me.
4Pea kapau moʻoni kuo u hē, ʻoku ʻiate au pe ʻeku hē.
5But you have set yourselves up against me, and reprove me with my reproaches.
5Pea kapau moʻoni te mou fai fielahi kiate au, pea talatalaakiʻi au ʻaki hoku manukiaʻanga:
6At least now understand, that God hath not afflicted me with an equal judgment, and compassed me with his scourges.
6Mou ʻilo eni, kuo fulihi au ʻe he ʻOtua, pea ne kāpui au ʻaki hono kupenga.
7Behold I cry suffering violence, and no one will hear: I shall cry aloud, and there is none to judge.
7“Vakai, ʻoku ou tangi koeʻuhi ko e fakamālohi, ka ʻoku ʻikai ongoʻi au: ʻoku ou tangi kalanga ka ʻoku ʻikai ha fakamaau.
8He hath hedged in my path round about, and I cannot pass, and in my way he hath set darkness.
8Kuo ne feleʻi hoku hala ke ʻoua naʻaku ʻalu, pea kuo ne ʻai ʻae fakapoʻuli ʻi hoku ngaahi hala.
9He hath stripped me of my glory, and hath taken the crown from my head.
9Kuo ne fakamasivaʻi au ʻi hoku nāunau, pea kuo ne toʻo ʻae tatā mei hoku ʻulu.
10He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am lost, and he hath taken away my hope, as from a tree that is plucked up.
10Kuo ne fakaʻauhaʻi au mei he potu kotoa pē, pea kuo u mole: pea kuo ne taʻaki ʻeku ʻamanaki ʻo hangē ha ʻakau.
11His wrath is kindled against me, and he hath counted me as his enemy.
11Kuo ne tutu foki ʻa hono houhau kiate au, pea ʻoku ne lauʻi au ko e taha ʻo hono ngaahi fili.
12His troops have come together, and have made themselves a way by me, and have besieged my tabernacle round about.
12ʻOku fakataha ʻene ngaahi kautau, ʻonau keli takatakai ʻiate au, pea nofo fakatakamilo ʻi hoku fale.
13He hath put my brethren far from me, and my acquaintance like strangers have departed from me.
13“Kuo ne fakamamaʻo atu hoku kāinga ʻiate au, pea ko ʻeku ngaahi kaumeʻa ʻoku mahuʻi ʻaupito meiate au.
14My kinsmen have forsaken me, and they that knew me, have forgotten me.
14Kuo mahuʻi hoku ngaahi kāinga ʻiate au, pea kuo fakangalongaloʻi au ʻe hoku ngaahi kāinga feʻofoʻofani.
15They that dwelt in my house, and my maidservants have counted me a stranger, and I have been like an alien in their eyes.
15Ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi hoku fale, mo ʻeku kau kaunanga, ʻoku nau lau au ko e muli, ko e taha kehe au ʻi honau ʻao.
16I called my servant, and he gave me no answer, I entreated him with my own mouth.
16Naʻaku ui ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne tali; ne u fakakolekole ʻaki hoku ngutu ki ai.
17My wife hath abhorred my breath, and I entreated the children of my womb.
17Kuo fakalielia ʻa ʻeku mānava ki hoku uaifi, neongo ʻa ʻeku fakakolekole koeʻuhi ko e fānau ʻa hoku sino ʻoʻoku.
18Even fools despise me; and when I gone from them, they spoke against me.
18ʻIo, naʻe manukiʻi au ʻe he fānau iiki, ʻoku ou tuʻu hake pea nau lauʻikoviʻi au.
19They that were sometime my counsellors, have abhorred me: and he whom I love most is turned against me.
19Kuo fehiʻa kiate au ʻa hoku ngaahi kāinga feʻofoʻofani kotoa pē, pea ko kinautolu ne u ʻofa ki ai kuo liliu ʻo angatuʻu kiate au.
20The flesh being consumed. My bone hath cleaved to my skin, and nothing but lips are left about my teeth.
20ʻOku piki hoku ngaahi hui ki hoku kili ʻo hangē ko hoku kakano, pea kuo u hao mo e kili ʻo hoku kau nifo.
21Have pity on me, have pity on me, at least you my friends, because the hand of the Lord hath touched me.
21“ʻOfa mai kiate au, ʻofa mai kiate au, ʻakimoutolu ko hoku kāinga; he kuo ala kiate au ʻae nima ʻoe ʻOtua.
22Why do you persecute me as God, and glut yourselves with my flesh?
22Ko e hā ʻoku mou fakatanga ai au ʻo hangē ko e ʻOtua, pea mou taʻefiu ʻi hoku kakano?
23Who will grant me that my words may be written? Who will grant me that they may be marked down in a book?
23“Taumaiā kuo tohi ʻa ʻeku ngaahi lea! Taumaiā kuo tohi ia ʻi ha tohi!
24With an iron pen and in a plate of lead, or else be graven with an instrument in flint stone.
24Koeʻuhi ke tohi tongi ia ʻaki ʻae peni ukamea mo e pulu, ʻi he maka ke taʻengata!
25For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and in the last day I shall rise out of the earth.
25He ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku moʻui ʻa hoku Huhuʻi, pea ʻe tuʻu ia ʻi māmani ʻi he ʻaho fakamui.
26And I shall be clothed again with my skin, and in my flesh I will see my God.
26Pea ka ʻosi hoku kili pea maumau hoku sino, ka te u mamata ʻi hoku kakano ki he ʻOtua:
27Whom I myself shall see, and my eyes shall behold, and not another: this my hope is laid up in my bosom.
27ʻAia te u mamata ki ai maʻaku, pea ʻe vakai ki ai ʻa hoku mata, pea ʻikai ha taha kehe; “Neongo ʻae ʻauha ʻa hoku ngaahi kupuʻi sino ʻiate au.
28Why then do you say now: Let us persecute him, and let us find occasion of word against him?
28Ka ʻe lelei hoʻomou pehē, ‘Ko e hā ʻoku tau fakatanga ai ia?’ He ʻoku ʻiate au ʻae tefito ʻoe meʻa lelei.
29Flee then from the face of the sword, for the sword is the revenger of iniquities: and know ye that there is judgment.
29Ke manavahē ʻakimoutolu ki he heletā: he ʻoku ʻomi ʻe he ʻita ʻae ngaahi tautea ʻoe heletā, koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ʻoku ai ʻae fakamaau.”
