Siope 35

Tongan Bible, Revised West Version

Clementine Vulgate, 1598

1Pea naʻe fai pe ʻe Elihu ʻa ʻene lea, ʻo ne pehē,

1Igitur Eliu hæc rursum locutus est:

2“ʻOku ke mahalo ʻoku totonu eni, ʻa hoʻo lea ʻo pehē, ‘Ko ʻeku māʻoniʻoni ʻoku lahi ki he ʻOtua?’

2[Numquid æqua tibi videtur tua cogitatio, ut diceres: Justior sum Deo?

3He naʻa ke pehē, ‘Ko e hā hono ʻaonga kiate koe? Pea ko e hā ʻae totongi te u maʻu ʻo kapau ʻe fakamaʻa au mei heʻeku angahala?’

3Dixisti enim: Non tibi placet quod rectum est: vel quid tibi proderit, si ego peccavero?

4Te u tala kiate koe, mo kinautolu ʻoku kaumeʻa mo koe.

4Itaque ego respondebo sermonibus tuis, et amicis tuis tecum.

5Sio ki he ngaahi langi, ʻo mamata; pea vakai ki he ngaahi ʻao ʻaia ʻoku māʻolunga hake ʻiate koe.

5Suspice cælum, et intuere: et contemplare æthera quod altior te sit.

6Kapau ʻoku ke fai angahala, ko e hā ʻoku ke fai kiate ia? Pea kapau kuo tupu ʻo lahi ʻa hoʻo talangataʻa, ko e hā ʻoku ke fai kiate ia?

6Si peccaveris, quid ei nocebis? et si multiplicatæ fuerint iniquitates tuæ, quid facies contra eum?

7Kapau ʻoku ke māʻoniʻoni, ko e hā ʻoku ke foaki kiate ia? Pe ko e hā ia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻi ho nima?

7Porro si juste egeris, quid donabis ei? aut quid de manu tua accipiet?

8‌ʻE kovi nai hoʻo angahala ki he tangata ʻo hangē ko koe; pea ʻe ʻaonga nai hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ki he foha ʻoe tangata.

8Homini qui similis tui est, nocebit impietas tua: et filium hominis adjuvabit justitia tua.

9“Ko e meʻa ʻi he lahi ʻoe ngaahi meʻa fakamālohi ʻoku tangi ai ʻae kau fakamālohia, ʻoku nau tangi kalanga ʻi he nima ʻoe mālohi.

9Propter multitudinem calumniatorum clamabunt, et ejulabunt propter vim brachii tyrannorum.

10Ka ʻoku ʻikai pehē ʻe ha taha, ‘Kofaʻā ia ʻae ʻOtua ko hoku tupuʻanga, ʻaia ʻoku ne foaki ʻae ngaahi hiva ʻi he pō;

10Et non dixit: Ubi est Deus qui fecit me, qui dedit carmina in nocte;

11‌ʻAia ʻoku ako lahi hake kiate kitautolu ʻi he ngaahi manu ʻoe fonua, ʻo ne fakapoto lahi hake ʻakitautolu ʻi he ngaahi manupuna ʻoe ʻatā?’

11qui docet nos super jumenta terræ, et super volucres cæli erudit nos?

12‌ʻOku nau tangi ʻi ai, ka ʻoku ʻikai lea ha tokotaha, ko e meʻa ʻi he laukau ʻae kau tangata kovi.

12Ibi clamabunt, et non exaudiet, propter superbiam malorum.

13Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai fanongo ʻae ʻOtua ki he launoa, pea ʻe ʻikai tokanga ki ai ʻae Māfimafi.

13Non ergo frustra audiet Deus, et Omnipotens causas singulorum intuebitur.

14Naʻa ke lea, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai te ke mamata kiate ia, ka ʻoku ʻi hono ʻao ʻae fakamaau, ko ia ke ke falala kiate ia.

14Etiam cum dixeris: Non considerat: judicare coram illo, et expecta eum.

15Ka koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai pehē eni, ko ia kuo ne ʻaʻahi ai ʻi hono houhau; ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo ia ʻi he mamahi lahi:

15Nunc enim non infert furorem suum, nec ulciscitur scelus valde.

16Ko ia ʻoku mafaʻa taʻeʻaonga ai ʻae ngutu ʻo Siope; ʻoku ne fakalahi ʻae ngaahi lea ʻi he taʻeʻilo.

16Ergo Job frustra aperit os suum, et absque scientia verba multiplicat.]
