Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1“ʻOku tetetete hoku loto foki ʻi he meʻa ni, pea homo mei hono potu.
1At this my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place.
2Ke ke fanongo lelei ki he longoaʻa ʻo hono leʻo, mo e fatulisi ʻoku ʻalu atu mei hono fofonga.
2Hear ye attentively the terror of his voice, and the sound that cometh out of his mouth.
3ʻOku ne fakahinohino ia ʻi he lalo langi kotoa pē, mo ʻene ʻuhila ʻoku aʻu atu ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani.
3He beholdeth under all the heavens, and his light is upon the ends of the earth.
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.
4After it a noise shall roar, he shall thunder with the voice of his majesty, and shall not be found out, when his voice shall be heard.
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.
5God shall thunder wonderfully with his voice, he that doth great and unsearchable things.
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.
6He commandeth the snow to go down upon the earth, and the winter rain, and the shower of his strength.
7ʻOku ne tāpuni ʻae nima ʻoe tangata kotoa pē; koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he tangata kotoa pē ʻa ʻene ngāue.
7He sealeth up the hand of all men, that every one may know his works.
8Pea ʻoku toki hū ʻae fanga manu ki he ngaahi ʻana, ʻo nofo ʻi honau ngaahi potu.
8Then the beast shall go into his covert, and shall abide in his den.
9ʻOku haʻu ʻae ʻahiohio mei he feituʻu tonga: mo e momoko mei he tokelau.
9Out of the inner parts shall a tempest come, and cold out of the north.
10ʻOku tupu ʻae hahau ʻi he mānava ʻae ʻOtua; pea ʻoku ʻapiʻapi ai ʻae māukupu ʻoe ngaahi vai.
10When God bloweth there cometh frost, and again the waters are poured out abundantly.
11Pea ʻi he faʻa ʻuha ʻoku ne fakamanifinifi ʻae ʻao matolu: ʻoku ne veteki ʻa ʻene ʻao ngingila:
11Corn desireth clouds, and the clouds spread their light:
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.
12Which go round about, whithersoever the will of him that governeth them shall lead them, to whatsoever he shall command them upon the face of the whole earth:
13ʻOku ne pule ke haʻu ia, ko e meʻa tautea, pe ko e meʻa ʻa hono fonua, pe ʻi he ʻaloʻofa.
13Whether in one tribe, or in his own land, or in what place soever of his mercy he shall command them to be found.
14“Ke ke fakafanongo ʻe Siope, ki he meʻa ni: tuʻu mai ʻo fakakaukau ki he ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻae ʻOtua.
14Hearken to these things, Job: Stand, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15ʻOku ke ʻilo naʻe fakatonutonu ia ʻanefē ʻe he ʻOtua, pea pule ke huhulu ʻae maama ʻo ʻene ʻao?
15Dost thou know when God commanded the rains, to shew his light of his clouds?
16ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻae potupotumālie ʻoe ngaahi ʻao, ʻae ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻo ia ʻaia ʻoku haohaoa ʻi he ʻilo?
16Knowest thou the great paths of the clouds, and the perfect knowledges?
17Pea ʻoku mafana fēfē ho ngaahi kofu, ʻoka ne ka fakatofutofu ʻae fonua ʻaki ʻae matangi tonga?
17Are not thy garments hot, when the south wind blows upon the earth?
18He naʻa ke kau mo ia ʻi he folahi atu ʻae langi, ʻaia ʻoku mālohi, pea ʻoku tatau mo e sioʻata haka?
18Thou perhaps hast made the heavens with him, which are most strong, as if they were of molten brass.
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.
19Shew us what we may say to him: for we are wrapped up in darkness.
20ʻE tala kiate ia ʻoku ou lea? Kapau ʻe lea ha tangata, ko e moʻoni ʻe fōngia hifo ia.
20Who shall tell him the things I speak? even if a man shall speak, he shall be swallowed up.
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.
21But now they see not the light: the air on a sudden shall be thickened into clouds, and the wind shall pass and drive them away.
22ʻOku haʻu ʻae ʻafua mei he tokelau: ʻoku ʻi he ʻOtua ʻae ngeia fakamanavahē.
22Cold cometh out of the north, and to God praise with fear.
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.
23We cannot find him worthily: he is great in strength, and in judgment, and in justice, and he is ineffable.
24Ko ia ʻoku manavahē ai ʻae kakai kiate ia: ʻoku ʻikai te ne tokanga ki ha tokotaha ʻoku loto poto.”
24Therefore men shall fear him, and all that seem to themselves to be wise, shall not dare to behold him.
