Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Then Job answered,
1Ka naʻe tali ʻe Siope, ʻo ne pehē,
2“How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!
2“ʻOku fēfē ʻa hoʻo tokoni ki he taʻemālohi? ʻOku fakamoʻui fēfē ʻe koe ʻae nima vaivai?
3How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
3ʻOku fēfē ʻa hoʻo fakapotoʻi ʻae taʻepoto? Pea fēfē ʻa hoʻo fakahā lahi ʻae meʻa ʻoku totonu?
4To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came out of you?
4Ko hoʻo lea mai kia hai? Pea ko e laumālie ʻo hai kuo haʻu meiate koe?
5“The departed spirits tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
5“Ko e kakai mālohi kuo mate, mo kinautolu ʻoku nau nonofo, ʻoku nau feinga ki lalo ʻi he ngaahi vai.
6Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.
6ʻOku vavanga ʻae maama fufū ʻi hono ʻao, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻufiʻufi ʻoe potu fakaʻauha.
7He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.
7ʻOku ne folahi atu ʻe ia ʻae potu fakatokelau ʻi he atāloa, pea ne tautau ʻa māmani ki he ʻatā noa pe.
8He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
8ʻOku ne haʻihaʻi ʻae ngaahi vai ʻi hono ngaahi ʻao matolu; pea ʻoku ʻikai mahaehae ai ʻae ʻao.
9He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
9ʻOku ne taʻofi atu ʻa hono muʻa ʻafioʻanga, ʻo ne folahi ʻene ʻao ki ai.
10He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.
10ʻOku ne takatakai ʻae moana ʻo ʻai hono ngataʻanga, kaeʻoua ke ʻosi ʻae ʻaho mo e pō.
11The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
11ʻOku ngalulu ʻae ngaahi pou ʻoe langi, pea ofo ʻi heʻene valoki.
12He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
12ʻOku ne fakalaolao ʻae tahi ʻaki hono mālohi, pea ʻi heʻene poto ʻoku ne tā hifo ʻae laukau.
13By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
13Ko hono laumālie kuo ne teuteu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi langi; pea kuo ngaohi ʻe hono nima ʻae ngata pikopiko.
14Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?”
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?”
