Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Ka naʻe tali ʻe Siope, ʻo ne pehē,
1But Job answered and said,
2“ʻOku fēfē ʻa hoʻo tokoni ki he taʻemālohi? ʻOku fakamoʻui fēfē ʻe koe ʻae nima vaivai?
2How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
3ʻOku fēfē ʻa hoʻo fakapotoʻi ʻae taʻepoto? Pea fēfē ʻa hoʻo fakahā lahi ʻae meʻa ʻoku totonu?
3How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4Ko hoʻo lea mai kia hai? Pea ko e laumālie ʻo hai kuo haʻu meiate koe?
4To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5“Ko e kakai mālohi kuo mate, mo kinautolu ʻoku nau nonofo, ʻoku nau feinga ki lalo ʻi he ngaahi vai.
5Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
6ʻOku vavanga ʻae maama fufū ʻi hono ʻao, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻufiʻufi ʻoe potu fakaʻauha.
6Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.
7ʻOku ne folahi atu ʻe ia ʻae potu fakatokelau ʻi he atāloa, pea ne tautau ʻa māmani ki he ʻatā noa pe.
7He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8ʻOku ne haʻihaʻi ʻae ngaahi vai ʻi hono ngaahi ʻao matolu; pea ʻoku ʻikai mahaehae ai ʻae ʻao.
8He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
9ʻOku ne taʻofi atu ʻa hono muʻa ʻafioʻanga, ʻo ne folahi ʻene ʻao ki ai.
9He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10ʻOku ne takatakai ʻae moana ʻo ʻai hono ngataʻanga, kaeʻoua ke ʻosi ʻae ʻaho mo e pō.
10He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
11ʻOku ngalulu ʻae ngaahi pou ʻoe langi, pea ofo ʻi heʻene valoki.
11The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
12ʻOku ne fakalaolao ʻae tahi ʻaki hono mālohi, pea ʻi heʻene poto ʻoku ne tā hifo ʻae laukau.
12He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
13Ko hono laumālie kuo ne teuteu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi langi; pea kuo ngaohi ʻe hono nima ʻae ngata pikopiko.
13By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14Vakai, ko e meʻa niʻihi pe eni ʻi hono ngaahi hala: ka ʻikai ko e meʻa siʻi ʻaupito ʻiate ia ʻoku tau fanongo ai? Pea ko e mana ʻo hono mālohi ko hai te ne faʻa ʻiloʻi?”
14Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
