Job 38
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
1Pea naʻe toki folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siope mei he ʻahiohio, ʻo pehē,
2Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
2“Ko hai eni ʻoku ne fakapoʻuliʻi ʻae fakakaukau ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ʻoe taʻeʻilo?
3Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
3Ko eni, ke ke nonoʻo ho noʻotangavala ʻo ngali mo e tangata; he te u ʻeke kiate koe, pea ke fakamatala mai kiate au.
4Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
4“Naʻa ke ʻi fē koe ʻi heʻeku ʻai ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo māmani? Fakahā mai, kapau ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻae faʻa ʻilo.
5Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
5Ko hai naʻa ne ai hono ngaahi fuofua ʻo ia, ʻo kapau ʻoku ke ʻilo? Pe ko hai naʻa ne falō ʻae afo ki ai?
6Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
6ʻOku fakamaʻu ki he hā ʻa hono ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo ia? Pe ko hai naʻa ne ʻai ʻa hono maka tuliki ʻo ia;
7When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
7ʻAia naʻe hiva fiefia fakataha ai ʻae ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe pongipongi, pea kalanga fakafiefia ai ʻae ngaahi foha kotoa pē ʻoe ʻOtua?
8Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
8“Pe ko hai naʻa ne tāpuni ʻae tahi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi matapā, ʻi heʻene hā mai, ʻo hangē ko ʻene puna mei he manāva?
9When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,
9ʻI heʻeku ngaohi ʻae ʻao ko e kofu ʻo ia, pea ko e fakapoʻuli matolu ko hono noʻo ʻoʻona.
10And brake up for it my decreed place , and set bars and doors,
10ʻO keli hake ʻae potu naʻaku tuʻutuʻuni ki ai, ʻo ʻai ki ai ʻae ngaahi pou mo e matapā.
11And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
11Pea u pehē, ‘Te ke haʻu ki heni, pea ngata ai: pea ʻe lolomi ʻi heni hoʻo ngaahi peau laukau?’
12Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
12“Naʻa ke fekau ki he pongipongi talu hoʻo ngaahi ʻaho; pea pule ki he hengihengi ʻoe ʻaho ke ne ʻilo hono potu:
13That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
13Koeʻuhi ke ne puke ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻoe fonua, koeʻuhi ke tupeʻi mei ai ʻae kakai angahala.
14It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.
14ʻOku liliu ia ʻo hangē ko e ʻumea ki he fakaʻilonga; pea ʻoku nau tuʻu ʻo hangē ko e kofu.
15And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.
15Ka ʻoku taʻofi mei he kau angahala ʻenau maama, pea ʻe fesiʻi ʻae nima māʻolunga.
16Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?
16“Naʻa ke hū koe ki he ngaahi matavai ʻoe tahi? Pe naʻa ke ʻeveʻeva ke kumi ʻae loloto?
17Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?
17Naʻe toʻo ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻoe mate kiate koe? Pe naʻa ke mamata ʻe koe ki he ngaahi matapā ʻoe malumalu ʻoe mate?
18Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.
18Naʻa ke ʻiloʻi ʻae māukupu ʻoe fonua? Fakahā ʻo kapau ʻoku ke ʻilo ia kotoa pē.
19Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,
19“Ko e fē ʻae hala ʻoku nofo ai ʻae maama? Pea ko e poʻuli, komaʻa ia ʻae potu ʻoʻona.
20That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?
20Koeʻuhi ke ke ʻave ia ki hono ngataʻanga ʻoʻona, pea koeʻuhi ke ke ʻilo ʻae ngaahi hala ki he fale ʻo ia?
21Knowest thou it , because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great?
21Kuo ke ʻilo ia, he naʻe fanauʻi koe ʻi he kuonga ko ia? Pe koeʻuhi kuo lahi hono lau ʻo ho ngaahi ʻaho?
22Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,
22Naʻa ke hū koe ki he ngaahi faʻoakianga ʻoe ʻuha hinehina? Pe naʻa ke mamata koe ki he ngaahi faʻoakiʻanga ʻoe ʻuha maka,
23Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?
23ʻAia kuo u tuku ki he kuonga ʻoe fakamamahi, ki he ʻaho ʻoe fekeʻikeʻi mo e tau?
24By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?
24ʻOku vahevahe fēfeeʻi ʻae maama, ʻaia ʻoku ne tufaki ke mamaʻo ʻae matangi hahake ʻi he fonua?
25Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;
25Ko hai kuo ne vaheʻi ʻae tafeʻanga vai ki he mahuohua ʻoe ngaahi vai, pe ko e hala ki he ʻuhila ʻoe mana;
26To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
26Koeʻuhi ke pule ke ʻuha ki he fonua, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha tangata; ki he toafa, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha tangata;
27To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
27Ke fakafiemālie ʻae kelekele lala mo liʻaki; ke fakatupu ʻae moto ʻoe ʻakau vaivai?
28Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
28Ko hai ʻae tamai ʻae ʻuha? Pe ko hai kuo ne fakatupu ʻae ngaahi tulutā ʻoe hahau?
29Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?
29Naʻe haʻu ʻae vai fefeka mei he manāva ʻo hai? Pea ko hai naʻa ne fakatupu ʻae falositi hinehina ʻoe langi?
30The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.
30Kuo fufū ʻae ngaahi vai ʻo hangē ko e maka, pea kuo fakafefeka ʻae funga ʻoe loloto.
31Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
31“ʻOku ke faʻa puleʻi ʻe koe ʻae ngaahi mālohi melie ʻo Peliatisi, pe vete ʻae ngaahi haʻi ʻo Olioni?
32Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
32ʻOku ke faʻa ʻomi ʻe koe ʻa Masaloti ʻi hono kuonga? Pe te ke faʻa fakahinohino ʻa ʻAakitulio mo hono ngaahi foha?
33Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
33ʻOku ke ʻiloʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻoe langi? ʻOku ke faʻa fokotuʻu ʻene pule ki he fonua?
34Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?
34“ʻOku ke faʻa hiki hake ʻe koe ho leʻo ki he ngaahi ʻao, koeʻuhi ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki koe ʻae ngaahi vai lahi?
35Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are ?
35ʻOku ke faʻa fekau atu ʻae ngaahi ʻuhila, koeʻuhi ke nau ʻalu, ʻonau pehē kiate koe, ‘Ko kimautolu eni?’
36Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?
36Ko hai kuo ne ʻai ʻae poto ki he ngaahi potu ʻi loto? Pe ko hai kuo ne foaki ʻae faʻa ʻilo ki he loto?
37Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven,
37Ko hai ʻoku faʻa lau ʻae ngaahi ʻao ʻi he poto? Pe ko hai te ne faʻa taʻofi ʻae ngaahi hina ʻoe langi?
38When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?
38ʻOka tupu ʻo fefeka ʻae efu, pea piki fakataha ʻae tuʻutanga kelekele?
39Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions,
39“He te ke tuli ʻae meʻakai maʻae laione? Pe fakamākona ʻae fiekaia ʻoe fanga laione mui,
40When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?
40ʻOka nau ka tokoto ʻi honau ngaahi ʻana, pea nofo pe ʻo lama ʻi he potu lilo?
41Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.
41Ko hai ʻoku ne tokonaki ʻae meʻakai ki he leveni, ʻoka tangi hono fānganga ki he ʻOtua, ʻi heʻenau hē ko e masiva kai?
