約伯記 38
1 上主由旋風中向約伯發言說：
Pea naʻe toki folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siope mei he ʻahiohio, ʻo pehē,
2 用無知的話，使我的計劃模糊不明的是誰﹖
“Ko hai eni ʻoku ne fakapoʻuliʻi ʻae fakakaukau ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ʻoe taʻeʻilo?
3 你要像勇士束好你的腰，我要問你，請指教我!
Ko eni, ke ke nonoʻo ho noʻotangavala ʻo ngali mo e tangata; he te u ʻeke kiate koe, pea ke fakamatala mai kiate au.
4 我奠定大地的基礎時，你在那裏﹖你若聰明，儘管說罷!
“Naʻa ke ʻi fē koe ʻi heʻeku ʻai ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo māmani? Fakahā mai, kapau ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻae faʻa ʻilo.
5 你知道是誰制定了地的度量，是誰在地上拉了準繩﹖
Ko hai naʻa ne ai hono ngaahi fuofua ʻo ia, ʻo kapau ʻoku ke ʻilo? Pe ko hai naʻa ne falō ʻae afo ki ai?
6 地的基礎置在何處，是誰立了地的角石﹖
ʻOku fakamaʻu ki he hā ʻa hono ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo ia? Pe ko hai naʻa ne ʻai ʻa hono maka tuliki ʻo ia;
7 當時星辰一起歌詠，天主的眾子同聲歡呼!
ʻAia naʻe hiva fiefia fakataha ai ʻae ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe pongipongi, pea kalanga fakafiefia ai ʻae ngaahi foha kotoa pē ʻoe ʻOtua?
8 海水洶湧如出母胎時，是誰用門將海關閉﹖
“Pe ko hai naʻa ne tāpuni ʻae tahi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi matapā, ʻi heʻene hā mai, ʻo hangē ko ʻene puna mei he manāva?
9 是我用雲彩作海的衣裳，用濃霧作海的襁褓。
ʻI heʻeku ngaohi ʻae ʻao ko e kofu ʻo ia, pea ko e fakapoʻuli matolu ko hono noʻo ʻoʻona.
10 是我給海劃定了界限，設立了門和閂，
ʻO keli hake ʻae potu naʻaku tuʻutuʻuni ki ai, ʻo ʻai ki ai ʻae ngaahi pou mo e matapā.
11 並下令說：「你到此為止，不得越過；你的狂潮到此為止。」
Pea u pehē, ‘Te ke haʻu ki heni, pea ngata ai: pea ʻe lolomi ʻi heni hoʻo ngaahi peau laukau?’
12 你有生之日，何嘗給晨光出過命令，又何嘗使曙光知道它之所在﹖
“Naʻa ke fekau ki he pongipongi talu hoʻo ngaahi ʻaho; pea pule ki he hengihengi ʻoe ʻaho ke ne ʻilo hono potu:
13 何嘗使光握緊大地四角，將惡人從那裏抖出去﹖
Koeʻuhi ke ne puke ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻoe fonua, koeʻuhi ke tupeʻi mei ai ʻae kakai angahala.
14 曙光改變大地，如在膠泥上蓋印；使萬物出現，如著錦衣；
ʻOku liliu ia ʻo hangē ko e ʻumea ki he fakaʻilonga; pea ʻoku nau tuʻu ʻo hangē ko e kofu.
15 撤去惡人的光明，折斷高舉的手。
Ka ʻoku taʻofi mei he kau angahala ʻenau maama, pea ʻe fesiʻi ʻae nima māʻolunga.
16 你曾否到過海的源流，走過深淵的底處﹖
“Naʻa ke hū koe ki he ngaahi matavai ʻoe tahi? Pe naʻa ke ʻeveʻeva ke kumi ʻae loloto?
17 死亡的門給你開啟過嗎﹖你見過死影之門嗎﹖
Naʻe toʻo ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻoe mate kiate koe? Pe naʻa ke mamata ʻe koe ki he ngaahi matapā ʻoe malumalu ʻoe mate?
18 你知道大地的廣闊嗎﹖你若知道，請你說罷!
Naʻa ke ʻiloʻi ʻae māukupu ʻoe fonua? Fakahā ʻo kapau ʻoku ke ʻilo ia kotoa pē.
19 赴光明之所的路是那一條，黑暗的住處在那裏﹖
“Ko e fē ʻae hala ʻoku nofo ai ʻae maama? Pea ko e poʻuli, komaʻa ia ʻae potu ʻoʻona.
20 你知道如何引導黑暗到自己的境地，領黑暗回到自己居所的道路上嗎﹖
Koeʻuhi ke ke ʻave ia ki hono ngataʻanga ʻoʻona, pea koeʻuhi ke ke ʻilo ʻae ngaahi hala ki he fale ʻo ia?
21 你總該知道，因為你那時已誕生了，而你的年歲已很高。
Kuo ke ʻilo ia, he naʻe fanauʻi koe ʻi he kuonga ko ia? Pe koeʻuhi kuo lahi hono lau ʻo ho ngaahi ʻaho?
22 你到過雪庫，見過雹倉嗎﹖
Naʻa ke hū koe ki he ngaahi faʻoakianga ʻoe ʻuha hinehina? Pe naʻa ke mamata koe ki he ngaahi faʻoakiʻanga ʻoe ʻuha maka,
23 那是我為降災之時，為戰爭之日所存放的。
ʻAia kuo u tuku ki he kuonga ʻoe fakamamahi, ki he ʻaho ʻoe fekeʻikeʻi mo e tau?
24 雲霧由那條路散開，東風由那條路吹往大地﹖
ʻOku vahevahe fēfeeʻi ʻae maama, ʻaia ʻoku ne tufaki ke mamaʻo ʻae matangi hahake ʻi he fonua?
25 誰為暴雨啟開閘門，誰為雷電指示道路，
Ko hai kuo ne vaheʻi ʻae tafeʻanga vai ki he mahuohua ʻoe ngaahi vai, pe ko e hala ki he ʻuhila ʻoe mana;
26 好使雨落在無人之境，降在無人的荒野，
Koeʻuhi ke pule ke ʻuha ki he fonua, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha tangata; ki he toafa, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha tangata;
27 為潤澤荒野乾旱之地，好使原野中的綠草生長﹖
Ke fakafiemālie ʻae kelekele lala mo liʻaki; ke fakatupu ʻae moto ʻoe ʻakau vaivai?
28 雨有父親嗎﹖誰生了露珠﹖
Ko hai ʻae tamai ʻae ʻuha? Pe ko hai kuo ne fakatupu ʻae ngaahi tulutā ʻoe hahau?
29 冰出自誰的胎﹖天上的霜是誰生的﹖
Naʻe haʻu ʻae vai fefeka mei he manāva ʻo hai? Pea ko hai naʻa ne fakatupu ʻae falositi hinehina ʻoe langi?
30 水怎樣凝結如石﹖深淵的表面怎樣固結﹖
Kuo fufū ʻae ngaahi vai ʻo hangē ko e maka, pea kuo fakafefeka ʻae funga ʻoe loloto.
31 你豈能栓住昂宿的紐結，解開參星的繩索﹖
“ʻOku ke faʻa puleʻi ʻe koe ʻae ngaahi mālohi melie ʻo Peliatisi, pe vete ʻae ngaahi haʻi ʻo Olioni?
32 你豈能使晨星按時升出，引導北斗和它的星群﹖
ʻOku ke faʻa ʻomi ʻe koe ʻa Masaloti ʻi hono kuonga? Pe te ke faʻa fakahinohino ʻa ʻAakitulio mo hono ngaahi foha?
33 你豈知道天體的定律，立定天律以管治大地﹖
ʻOku ke ʻiloʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻoe langi? ʻOku ke faʻa fokotuʻu ʻene pule ki he fonua?
34 你豈能使你的聲音上達雲霄，使雨水沛然降在你處﹖
“ʻOku ke faʻa hiki hake ʻe koe ho leʻo ki he ngaahi ʻao, koeʻuhi ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki koe ʻae ngaahi vai lahi?
35 你能否一發令，閃電就發出，且向你說：「我們在這裏﹖」
ʻOku ke faʻa fekau atu ʻae ngaahi ʻuhila, koeʻuhi ke nau ʻalu, ʻonau pehē kiate koe, ‘Ko kimautolu eni?’
36 誰將聰明給與鸛鳥，將智慧賦與雄雞﹖
Ko hai kuo ne ʻai ʻae poto ki he ngaahi potu ʻi loto? Pe ko hai kuo ne foaki ʻae faʻa ʻilo ki he loto?
37 誰能憑智力數清雲彩，能傾倒天上的水囊﹖
Ko hai ʻoku faʻa lau ʻae ngaahi ʻao ʻi he poto? Pe ko hai te ne faʻa taʻofi ʻae ngaahi hina ʻoe langi?
38 當土壤堅固，泥塊凝結之時，
ʻOka tupu ʻo fefeka ʻae efu, pea piki fakataha ʻae tuʻutanga kelekele?
39 你是否能為牝獅獵取食物，滿足幼獅的食慾﹖
“He te ke tuli ʻae meʻakai maʻae laione? Pe fakamākona ʻae fiekaia ʻoe fanga laione mui,
40 當獅子伏於洞穴，臥於叢林埋伏的時候，
ʻOka nau ka tokoto ʻi honau ngaahi ʻana, pea nofo pe ʻo lama ʻi he potu lilo?
41 當雛鴉無食，往還飛翔，向天主哀鳴的時候，誰能為烏鴉備食﹖
Ko hai ʻoku ne tokonaki ʻae meʻakai ki he leveni, ʻoka tangi hono fānganga ki he ʻOtua, ʻi heʻenau hē ko e masiva kai?
