King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.
1“ʻOku tetetete hoku loto foki ʻi he meʻa ni, pea homo mei hono potu.
2Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.
2Ke ke fanongo lelei ki he longoaʻa ʻo hono leʻo, mo e fatulisi ʻoku ʻalu atu mei hono fofonga.
3He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
3ʻOku ne fakahinohino ia ʻi he lalo langi kotoa pē, mo ʻene ʻuhila ʻoku aʻu atu ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani.
4After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
4Hili ia ʻoku ʻuʻulu ʻae leʻo: ʻoku ne mana ʻaki ʻae leʻo ʻo hono ngeia; pea ʻi he ongoʻi ʻo hono leʻo ʻe ʻikai te ne taʻofi ia.
5God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
5ʻOku mana fakamanavahē mai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻaki hono leʻo; ʻoku fai ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai te tau faʻa ʻiloʻi.
6For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
6He ʻoku pehē ʻe ia ki he ʻuha hinehina, ‘Ke ke ʻi he kelekele koe;’ pea pehē pe ki he taumosi, mo e ʻuha lahi foki ʻo hono mālohi.
7He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
7ʻOku ne tāpuni ʻae nima ʻoe tangata kotoa pē; koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he tangata kotoa pē ʻa ʻene ngāue.
8Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
8Pea ʻoku toki hū ʻae fanga manu ki he ngaahi ʻana, ʻo nofo ʻi honau ngaahi potu.
9Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.
9ʻOku haʻu ʻae ʻahiohio mei he feituʻu tonga: mo e momoko mei he tokelau.
10By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
10ʻOku tupu ʻae hahau ʻi he mānava ʻae ʻOtua; pea ʻoku ʻapiʻapi ai ʻae māukupu ʻoe ngaahi vai.
11Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:
11Pea ʻi he faʻa ʻuha ʻoku ne fakamanifinifi ʻae ʻao matolu: ʻoku ne veteki ʻa ʻene ʻao ngingila:
12And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.
12Pea ʻoku ʻave fakatakamilo ia ʻe heʻene fakakaukau: koeʻuhi ke nau fai ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ne fekau kiate kinautolu ʻi he funga ʻo māmani ʻi he fonua.
13He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
13ʻOku ne pule ke haʻu ia, ko e meʻa tautea, pe ko e meʻa ʻa hono fonua, pe ʻi he ʻaloʻofa.
14Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
14“Ke ke fakafanongo ʻe Siope, ki he meʻa ni: tuʻu mai ʻo fakakaukau ki he ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻae ʻOtua.
15Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
15ʻOku ke ʻilo naʻe fakatonutonu ia ʻanefē ʻe he ʻOtua, pea pule ke huhulu ʻae maama ʻo ʻene ʻao?
16Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
16ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻae potupotumālie ʻoe ngaahi ʻao, ʻae ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻo ia ʻaia ʻoku haohaoa ʻi he ʻilo?
17How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind ?
17Pea ʻoku mafana fēfē ho ngaahi kofu, ʻoka ne ka fakatofutofu ʻae fonua ʻaki ʻae matangi tonga?
18Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?
18He naʻa ke kau mo ia ʻi he folahi atu ʻae langi, ʻaia ʻoku mālohi, pea ʻoku tatau mo e sioʻata haka?
19Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.
19ʻAko mai kiate kimautolu pe ko e hā te mau tala kiate ia; he ʻoku ʻikai te mau faʻa fakatonutonu ʻemau lea, ko e meʻa ʻi he fakapoʻuli.
20Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.
20ʻE tala kiate ia ʻoku ou lea? Kapau ʻe lea ha tangata, ko e moʻoni ʻe fōngia hifo ia.
21And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
21Pea ko eni ʻoku ʻikai mamata ʻe he kakai ki he maama ngingila ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi ʻao: ka ʻoku ʻalu ʻae matangi, ʻo ne fakamaʻa ia.
22Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.
22ʻOku haʻu ʻae ʻafua mei he tokelau: ʻoku ʻi he ʻOtua ʻae ngeia fakamanavahē.
23Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.
23Ko e Māfimafi, ʻoku ʻikai te tau faʻa ʻiloʻi ia: ʻoku lahi ia ʻi he mālohi, mo e fakamaau, pea mohu angatonu: ʻe ʻikai te ne tautea.
24Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
24Ko ia ʻoku manavahē ai ʻae kakai kiate ia: ʻoku ʻikai te ne tokanga ki ha tokotaha ʻoku loto poto.”
