Job 26
1 But Job answered and said,
Ka naʻe tali ʻe Siope, ʻo ne pehē,
2 How have you helped him that is without power? how save you the arm that has no strength?
“ʻOku fēfē ʻa hoʻo tokoni ki he taʻemālohi? ʻOku fakamoʻui fēfē ʻe koe ʻae nima vaivai?
3 How have you counselled him that has no wisdom? and how have you plentifully declared the thing as it is?
ʻOku fēfē ʻa hoʻo fakapotoʻi ʻae taʻepoto? Pea fēfē ʻa hoʻo fakahā lahi ʻae meʻa ʻoku totonu?
4 To whom have you uttered words? and whose spirit came from you?
Ko hoʻo lea mai kia hai? Pea ko e laumālie ʻo hai kuo haʻu meiate koe?
5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
“Ko e kakai mālohi kuo mate, mo kinautolu ʻoku nau nonofo, ʻoku nau feinga ki lalo ʻi he ngaahi vai.
ʻOku vavanga ʻae maama fufū ʻi hono ʻao, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻufiʻufi ʻoe potu fakaʻauha. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretches out the north over the empty place, and hangs the earth upon 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 binds up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
ʻOku ne haʻihaʻi ʻae ngaahi vai ʻi hono ngaahi ʻao matolu; pea ʻoku ʻikai mahaehae ai ʻae ʻao.
9 He holds back the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud upon it.
ʻOku ne taʻofi atu ʻa hono muʻa ʻafioʻanga, ʻo ne folahi ʻene ʻao ki ai.
10 He has compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
ʻOku ne takatakai ʻae moana ʻo ʻai hono ngataʻanga, kaeʻoua ke ʻosi ʻae ʻaho mo e pō.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
ʻOku ngalulu ʻae ngaahi pou ʻoe langi, pea ofo ʻi heʻene valoki.
12 He divides the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through the proud.
ʻOku ne fakalaolao ʻae tahi ʻaki hono mālohi, pea ʻi heʻene poto ʻoku ne tā hifo ʻae laukau.
13 By his spirit he has garnished the heavens; his hand has formed the crooked serpent.
Ko hono laumālie kuo ne teuteu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi langi; pea kuo ngaohi ʻe hono nima ʻae ngata pikopiko.
14 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
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?”
