Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed his day,
1Pea hili ia naʻe mafaʻa ʻae ngutu ʻo Siope, ʻo ne lauʻikoviʻi ʻa hono ʻaho.
2And he said:
2Pea lea ʻa Siope, ʻo ne pehē,
3Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said: A man child is conceived.
3“Ke ʻauha ʻae ʻaho naʻe fanauʻi ai au, mo e pō ko ia naʻe kalanga ai, ‘Kuo fanauʻi ʻae tama tangata.’
4Let that day be turned into darkness, let not God regard it from above, and let not the light shine upon it.
4Ke fakapoʻuli ʻae ʻaho ko ia; ke ʻoua naʻa tokanga ki ai ʻae ʻOtua mei ʻolunga, pea ʻoua naʻa ulo ai ʻae maama.
5Let darkness, and the shadow of death cover it, let a mist overspread it, and let it be wrapped up in bitterness.
5Ke maʻu ia ʻe he fakapoʻuli mo e ʻata ʻoe mate; ke heka maʻu ki ai ʻae ʻao matolu; ke fakailifia ia ʻe he fakapoʻuli ʻoe ʻaho.
6Let a darksome whirlwind seize upon that night, let it not be counted in the days of the year, nor numbered in the months.
6Ke ʻohofi ʻae pō ko ia ʻe he fakapoʻuli matolu; ke ʻoua naʻa fakahoko ia ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe taʻu, pe kau ia ʻi he lau ʻoe ngaahi māhina.
7Let that night be solitary, and not worthy of praise.
7ʻIo, ke lala ʻae pō ko ia, ke ʻoua naʻa ʻi ai ha leʻo fakafiefia.
8Let them curse it who curse the day. who are ready to raise up a leviathan:
8Ke kapeʻi ia ʻekinautolu ʻoku laukoviʻi ʻae ʻaho, ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau teu ke fai hake ʻenau lāunga.
9Let the stars be darkened with the mist thereof: let it expect light and not see it, nor the rising of the dawning of the day:
9Ke fakapoʻuli ʻae ngaahi fetuʻu ʻo hono efiafi poʻuli; ke holi ia ki he maama, kaeʻoua siʻi naʻa ʻi ai; pea ʻoua naʻa ʻilo ʻe ia ʻae maʻa ʻae ʻaho:
10Because it shut not up the doors of the womb that bore me, nor took away evils from my eyes.
10Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai ke tāpuni ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻoe manāva kiate au, pe fufū ʻae mamahi mei hoku mata.
11Why did I not die in the womb, why did I not perish when I came out of the belly?
11“Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ai te u mate mei he manāva? Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ai te u tukuange hoku laumālie ʻi heʻeku haʻu mei he fatu?
12Why received upon the knees? why suckled at the breasts?
12Ko e hā naʻe tali teu ʻai au ʻe he foʻi tui? Mo e huhu koeʻuhi ke u huhu ai?
13For now I should have been asleep and still, and should have rest in my sleep.
13He ka ne ʻikai, pehē kuo u tokoto taʻengāue eni pea longo pe, pea u mohe pe ʻo mālōlō ai,
14With kings and consuls of the earth, who build themselves solitudes:
14ʻO fakataha mo e ngaahi tuʻi mo e ngaahi pule ʻo māmani, naʻa nau langa moʻonautolu ʻae ngaahi potu naʻe lala;
15Or with princes, that possess gold, and All their houses with silver:
15Pea fakataha mo e ngaahi ʻeiki naʻe maʻu koula, naʻa nau fakapito honau ngaahi fale ʻaki ʻae siliva:
16Or as a hidden untimely birth I should not be, or as they that being conceived have not seen the light.
16Pea teu ʻikai ʻo hangē ko e tama tō ʻi he fufū; ʻo hangē ko e fānau ʻoku ʻikai mamata ki he maama.
17There the wicked cease from tumult, and there the wearied in strength are at rest.
17ʻOku ngata ʻi ai ʻae fakamamahi ʻe he kau angahala; pea mālōlō ʻi ai ʻae kau ongosia.
18And they sometime bound together without disquiet, have not heard the voice of the oppressor.
18ʻOku mālōlō fakataha ai ʻae kau pōpula; ʻoku ʻikai ke nau ongoʻi ai ʻae leʻo ʻoe fakamālohi.
19The small and great are there, and the servant is free from his master.
19ʻOku ʻi ai ʻae iiki mo e lalahi; pea tauʻatāina ai ʻae tamaioʻeiki mei heʻene ʻeiki.
20Why is light given to him that is in misery, and life to them that are in bitterness of soul?
20“Ko e hā ʻoku tuku ai ʻae maama kiate ia ʻoku ʻi he mamahi, mo e moʻui kiate ia ʻoku laumālie mamahi;
21That look for death, and it cometh not, as they that dig for a treasure:
21ʻAia ʻoku holi ki he mate, ka ʻoku ʻikai ia; pea lahi ʻene kumi ki ai ʻi heʻene kumi ki he ngaahi koloa fufū;
22And they rejoice exceedingly when they have found the grave.
22ʻAkinautolu ʻoku nekeneka ʻaupito, mo fiefia, ʻoka nau ka ʻilo ʻae faʻitoka?
23To a man whose way is hidden, and God hath surrounded him with darkness?
23Ko e hā kuo foaki ai ʻae maama ki he tangata kuo fakapuli hono hala, pea kuo ʻākilotoa ia ʻe he ʻOtua?
24Before I eat I sigh: and as overflowing waters, so is my roaring:
24He ʻoku muʻomuʻa ʻeku ngaahi toʻe ki heʻeku kai, pea ko ʻeku tangi kalanga ʻoku lilingi atu ʻo hangē ko e vai.
25For the fear which I feared hath come upon me: and that which I was afraid of, hath befallen me.
25Hē ko e meʻa ne u manavahē lahi ki ai kuo tō ia kiate au, pea ko ia ne u ilifia ai kuo hoko mai.
26Have I not dissembled? have I not kept silence? have I not been quiet? and indignation is come upon me.
26Naʻe ʻikai te u fiemālie, pe te u mālōlō, pe te u nofo noa pe; ka naʻe hoko pe ʻae mamahi.”
