約伯記 39
1 你豈知道巖穴中野羊的產期，洞悉牝鹿何時生產﹖
“ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻae feituʻulaʻā ʻoku fanauʻi ai ʻae fanga kosi kaivao ʻoe maka? Pe ʻoku ke faʻa fakaʻilonga ʻoka fanauʻi ʻae fanga hainiti?
2 你豈能計算牠們懷孕的月分，預知牠們生產的日期﹖
ʻOku ke faʻa lau ki he kakato ʻo honau ngaahi māhina? Pe ʻoku ke ʻilo ʻae feituʻulaʻā ʻoku nau fāʻele ai?
3 牠們伏下產子之後，產痛立即過去。
ʻOku nau fakamapelu ʻakinautolu, ʻoku nau fāʻeleʻi honau ʻuhiki, ʻoku nau lī kituʻa ʻenau ngaahi mamahi.
4 幼雛健壯，在原野中長大；牠們一去，即不再返回。
ʻOku matamatalelei honau ʻuhiki, ʻoku nau tupu hake ʻi he toafa; ʻoku nau ʻalu atu, pea ʻikai toe haʻu kiate kinautolu.
5 誰使野驢任意遊蕩，誰解去悍驢的韁繩﹖
“Ko hai kuo ne fekau atu tauʻatāina ʻae ʻasi kaivao? Pe ko hai kuo ne vete ʻae ngaahi haʻi ʻoe ʻasi kaivao?
6 原來是我叫牠以原野為家，以鹽地為居所。
ʻAia kuo u tuʻutuʻuni ʻae toafa ko hono fale ʻoʻona, mo e fonua lala ko hono ngaahi nofoʻanga.
7 牠恥笑城市的吵鬧，聽不到趕牲者的呵叱。
ʻOku manuki ia ki he tokolahi ʻoe kolo, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne tokanga ki he kalanga ʻoe tauhi.
8 牠以群山峻嶺作自己的牧場，尋覓各種青草為食。
Ko hono kaiʻanga ko e ngaahi moʻunga ʻataʻatā, pea ʻoku ne kumi ʻae meʻa mata kotoa pē.
9 野牛豈肯為你服役，豈肯在你槽邊過宿﹖
“ʻE fie tauhi kiate koe ʻae liimi, pe nofo ofi ki hoʻo ʻaiʻangakai?
10 你豈能以繩索繫住牠的頸項，叫牠隨你耕田﹖
ʻOku ke faʻa nonoʻo ʻae liimi ʻaki hono noʻotaki ʻi he keli? Pe te ne muimui ʻiate koe ke fakatoka lelei ʻae ngaahi luo?
11 你豈能依靠牠的大力，任憑牠去作你的工作﹖
Te ke falala ki ai koeʻuhi ʻoku lahi ʻa hono mālohi? Pe te ke tuku hoʻo ngāue kiate ia?
12 你豈能靠牠將麥捆運回，聚集在你的禾場上﹖
Te ke tui kiate ia, te ne fetuku ki ʻapi hoʻo ngaahi fua, ʻo tānaki ia ki ho feleoko?
13 駝鳥的翅翼鼓舞，牠的翼翎和羽毛豈表示慈愛﹖
“Ko e kapakau ʻoe ʻositalesi ke kapakapa: ka ʻoku puna hake ʻae sitoaka mo e falekoni.
14 他將卵留在地上，讓沙土去溫暖；
Vakai, ʻoku ne fakato hono ngaahi fua ʻi he kelekele, ʻo ne fakamafana ia ʻi he efu,
15 牠不想人腳能踏碎，野獸能踐壞。
Pea ngalo ʻiate ia ʻe laiki nai ia ʻe he vaʻe, pe maumauʻi ia ʻe he manu kaivao.
16 牠苛待雛鳥，若非己出，雖徒受苦痛，也毫不關心。
Kuo fakafefeka ʻene anga ki hono fānganga ʻo hangē ʻoku ʻikai ʻaʻana ʻakinautolu: ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻene ngāue taʻemanavahē;
17 因為天主沒有賜牠這本能，也沒有把良知賜給牠。
Koeʻuhi kuo fakamasivaʻi ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he poto, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku kiate ia ʻae faʻa ʻilo.
18 但當牠振翼飛翔，卻要訕笑駿馬和騎師。
Ko e feituʻulaʻā ko ia te ne tuʻu hake ki ʻolunga, ʻoku ne manukiʻi ʻae hoosi mo ia ʻoku heka ai.
19 馬的力量，是你所賜﹖牠頸上的長騣，是你所披﹖
“Naʻa ke tuku ʻe koe ʻae mālohi ki he hoosi? Naʻa ke fakakofuʻaki hono kia ʻae mana?
20 你豈能使牠跳躍如蚱蜢﹖牠雄壯的長嘶，實在使人膽寒。
ʻOku ke faʻa fakamanavahēʻi ia ʻo hangē ko e heʻe? Ko e mānava lahi ʻo hono ihu ʻoku fakailifia.
21 牠在谷中歡躍奔馳，勇往直前，衝鋒迎敵。
ʻOku kenukenu ia ʻi he vahaʻa moʻunga, pea fiefia ʻi he mālohi: ʻoku ʻalu atu ia ke fakafetaulaki ki he kau tangata ʻoku toʻo mahafutau.
22 牠嗤笑膽怯，一無所懼；交鋒之時，決不退縮。
ʻOku ne manuki ki he manavahē, pea ʻoku ʻikai ilifia ia; pe foki kimui mei he heletā.
23 牠背上的箭袋震震作響，還有閃爍發光的矛與槍。
ʻOku ngatata ʻae tangakaho kiate ia, ʻae tao ngingila pea mo e fakaū.
24 牠一聞號角，即不肯停蹄，急躁狂怒，不斷啃地。
ʻOku ne folohifo ʻae kelekele ʻi he feinga mo e lili: pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne tui ko e leʻo ia ʻoe meʻa lea.
25 每次號角一鳴，牠必發出嘶聲，由遠處已聞到戰爭的氣息，將領的號令和士卒的喊聲。
ʻOku pehē ʻe ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa lea, ‘He, he;’ pea nanamu ki he tau ʻi he kei mamaʻo, ko e mana ʻoe kau taki tau, mo ʻenau mavava.
26 鷹展翅振翼南飛，豈是由於你的智慧﹖
“ʻOku puna ʻae falekoni ʻi hoʻo poto, ʻo mafao atu hono kapakau ki he feituʻu tonga?
27 兀鷹騰空，營巢峭壁，豈是出於你的命令﹖
ʻOku puna hake ʻae ʻikale ko hoʻo fekau, ʻo ne ngaohi hono pununga ʻi ʻolunga?
28 牠在山崖居住過宿，在峭峰上有牠的保障；
ʻOku nofo ia ʻo tatali ʻi he maka, ʻi he maka hangatāmaki, mo e potu mālohi.
29 由那裏窺伺獵物，牠的眼力可達遠處。
ʻOku kumi mei ai ʻene meʻakai, pea ʻoku sio hono mata mei he mamaʻo.
30 牠的幼雛也都吮血。那裏有屍體，牠也在那裏。
ʻOku mimisi hake foki ʻe hono ʻuhiki ʻae toto: pea ko e potu ko ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae mate, ʻoku ʻi ai ia.”
