¶ 1 KA nae fai be e Jobe ene lea mamafa, o ne behe,

3 Lolotoga oku iate au eku mānava, bea i hoku ava‘i ihu ae mānava ae Otua;

4 E ikai lea aki ae agahala e hoku lougutu, be lea aki ae kākā e hoku elelo.

5 E ikai aubito teu fakatonuhia‘i akimoutolu: teu mate be ka e ikai teu tukuage eku agatonu meiate au.

6 Oku ou kuku mau eku maonioni, e ikai teu tukuage ia: e ikai valoki‘i au e hoku loto i he eku moui ni.

7 Tuku ke tatau hoku fili moe agahala, mo ia oku agatuu kiate au ke tatau moe tae maonioni.

18 Oku laga eia hono fale o hage koe unufe, bea hage koe fale leo oku laga hake e he leo.

19 E tokoto hifo ae tagata koloaia, ka e ikai tanaki ia: oku ne fakaa hono mata, bea ne ikai leva.

20 Oku lomekina ia i he ilifia o hage ha vai, oku kaihaaji ia e he afā i he bo.

21 Oku ave ia e he matagi hahake, bea oku mole atu ia: bea hage koe afā oku fakabuna ia mei bono botu.

22 E haaki ia kiate ia o ikai taofi, oku holi ia ke hao atu mei hono malohi.

23 Ka e bajibaji eia hono nima kiate ia, o sesee ia mei hono botu.
