Job 26

1 Bvt Iob answered, and sayde,

Ka naʻe tali ʻe Siope, ʻo ne pehē,

2 Whom helpest thou? him that hath no power? sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?

“ʻOku fēfē ʻa hoʻo tokoni ki he taʻemālohi? ʻOku fakamoʻui fēfē ʻe koe ʻae nima vaivai?

3 Whome counsellest thou? him that hath no wisedome? thou shewest right well as the thing is.

‌ʻOku fēfē ʻa hoʻo fakapotoʻi ʻae taʻepoto? Pea fēfē ʻa hoʻo fakahā lahi ʻae meʻa ʻoku totonu?

4 To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?

Ko hoʻo lea mai kia hai? Pea ko e laumālie ʻo hai kuo haʻu meiate koe?

5 The dead things are formed vnder the waters, and neere vnto them.

“Ko e kakai mālohi kuo mate, mo kinautolu ʻoku nau nonofo, ʻoku nau feinga ki lalo ʻi he ngaahi vai.

6 The graue is naked before him, and there is no couering for destruction. (Sheol h7585)

‌ʻOku vavanga ʻae maama fufū ʻi hono ʻao, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻufiʻufi ʻoe potu fakaʻauha. (Sheol h7585)

7 He stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.

‌ʻOku ne folahi atu ʻe ia ʻae potu fakatokelau ʻi he atāloa, pea ne tautau ʻa māmani ki he ʻatā noa pe.

8 He bindeth the waters in his cloudes, and the cloude is not broken vnder them.

‌ʻOku ne haʻihaʻi ʻae ngaahi vai ʻi hono ngaahi ʻao matolu; pea ʻoku ʻikai mahaehae ai ʻae ʻao.

9 He holdeth backe the face of his throne: and spreadeth his cloude vpon it.

‌ʻOku ne taʻofi atu ʻa hono muʻa ʻafioʻanga, ʻo ne folahi ʻene ʻao ki ai.

10 He hath set bounds about the waters, vntil the day and night come to an ende.

‌ʻOku ne takatakai ʻae moana ʻo ʻai hono ngataʻanga, kaeʻoua ke ʻosi ʻae ʻaho mo e pō.

11 The pillars of heauen tremble and quake at his reproofe.

‌ʻOku ngalulu ʻae ngaahi pou ʻoe langi, pea ofo ʻi heʻene valoki.

12 The sea is calme by his power, and by his vnderstanding he smiteth the pride thereof.

‌ʻOku ne fakalaolao ʻae tahi ʻaki hono mālohi, pea ʻi heʻene poto ʻoku ne tā hifo ʻae laukau.

13 His Spirite hath garnished the heauens, and his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

Ko hono laumālie kuo ne teuteu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi langi; pea kuo ngaohi ʻe hono nima ʻae ngata pikopiko.

14 Loe, these are part of his wayes: but how litle a portion heare we of him? and who can vnderstand his fearefull power?

Vakai, 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?”
