Job 37
1 “Also, my heart trembles at this, And it moves from its place.
“ʻOku tetetete hoku loto foki ʻi he meʻa ni, pea homo mei hono potu.
2 Listen diligently to the trembling of His voice, Indeed, the sound goes forth from His mouth.
Ke ke fanongo lelei ki he longoaʻa ʻo hono leʻo, mo e fatulisi ʻoku ʻalu atu mei hono fofonga.
3 He directs it under the whole heavens, And its light [is] over the skirts of the earth.
ʻOku ne fakahinohino ia ʻi he lalo langi kotoa pē, mo ʻene ʻuhila ʻoku aʻu atu ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani.
4 A voice roars after it—He thunders with the voice of His excellence, And He does not hold them back, When His voice is heard.
Hili ia ʻoku ʻuʻulu ʻae leʻo: ʻoku ne mana ʻaki ʻae leʻo ʻo hono ngeia; pea ʻi he ongoʻi ʻo hono leʻo ʻe ʻikai te ne taʻofi ia.
5 God thunders with His voice wonderfully, Doing great things and we do not know.
ʻOku mana fakamanavahē mai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻaki hono leʻo; ʻoku fai ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai te tau faʻa ʻiloʻi.
6 For He says to snow: Be [on] the earth. And the small rain and great rain of His power.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe ia ki he ʻuha hinehina, ‘Ke ke ʻi he kelekele koe;’ pea pehē pe ki he taumosi, mo e ʻuha lahi foki ʻo hono mālohi.
7 Into the hand of every man he seals, For the knowledge by all men of His work.
ʻOku ne tāpuni ʻae nima ʻoe tangata kotoa pē; koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he tangata kotoa pē ʻa ʻene ngāue.
8 And the beast enters into [its] lair, And it continues in its habitations.
Pea ʻoku toki hū ʻae fanga manu ki he ngaahi ʻana, ʻo nofo ʻi honau ngaahi potu.
9 From the inner chamber comes a windstorm, And from scatterings winds—cold,
ʻOku haʻu ʻae ʻahiohio mei he feituʻu tonga: mo e momoko mei he tokelau.
10 From the breath of God is frost given, And the breadth of waters is constricted,
ʻOku tupu ʻae hahau ʻi he mānava ʻae ʻOtua; pea ʻoku ʻapiʻapi ai ʻae māukupu ʻoe ngaahi vai.
11 Indeed, by filling He presses out a cloud, [and] His light scatters a cloud.
Pea ʻi he faʻa ʻuha ʻoku ne fakamanifinifi ʻae ʻao matolu: ʻoku ne veteki ʻa ʻene ʻao ngingila:
12 And it is turning itself around by His counsels, For their doing all He commands them, On the face of the habitable earth.
Pea ʻoku ʻave fakatakamilo ia ʻe heʻene fakakaukau: koeʻuhi ke nau fai ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ne fekau kiate kinautolu ʻi he funga ʻo māmani ʻi he fonua.
13 Whether for a rod, or for His land, Or for kindness—He causes it to come.
ʻOku ne pule ke haʻu ia, ko e meʻa tautea, pe ko e meʻa ʻa hono fonua, pe ʻi he ʻaloʻofa.
14 Hear this, O Job, Stand and consider the wonders of God.
“Ke ke fakafanongo ʻe Siope, ki he meʻa ni: tuʻu mai ʻo fakakaukau ki he ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻae ʻOtua.
15 Do you know when God places them, And caused the light of His cloud to shine?
ʻOku ke ʻilo naʻe fakatonutonu ia ʻanefē ʻe he ʻOtua, pea pule ke huhulu ʻae maama ʻo ʻene ʻao?
16 Do you know the balancings of a cloud? The wonders of the Perfect in knowledge?
ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻae potupotumālie ʻoe ngaahi ʻao, ʻae ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻo ia ʻaia ʻoku haohaoa ʻi he ʻilo?
17 How your garments [are] warm, In the quieting of the earth from the south?
Pea ʻoku mafana fēfē ho ngaahi kofu, ʻoka ne ka fakatofutofu ʻae fonua ʻaki ʻae matangi tonga?
18 You have made an expanse with Him For the clouds—strong as a hard mirror!
He naʻa ke kau mo ia ʻi he folahi atu ʻae langi, ʻaia ʻoku mālohi, pea ʻoku tatau mo e sioʻata haka?
19 Let us know what we say to Him, We do not set in array because of darkness.
ʻAko mai kiate kimautolu pe ko e hā te mau tala kiate ia; he ʻoku ʻikai te mau faʻa fakatonutonu ʻemau lea, ko e meʻa ʻi he fakapoʻuli.
20 Is it declared to Him that I speak? If a man has spoken, surely he is swallowed up.
ʻE tala kiate ia ʻoku ou lea? Kapau ʻe lea ha tangata, ko e moʻoni ʻe fōngia hifo ia.
21 And now, they have not seen the light, It [is] bright in the clouds, And the wind has passed by and cleanses them.
Pea ko eni ʻoku ʻikai mamata ʻe he kakai ki he maama ngingila ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi ʻao: ka ʻoku ʻalu ʻae matangi, ʻo ne fakamaʻa ia.
22 It comes from the golden north, Fearful splendor [is] beside God.
ʻOku haʻu ʻae ʻafua mei he tokelau: ʻoku ʻi he ʻOtua ʻae ngeia fakamanavahē.
23 The Mighty! We have not found Him out, High in power and judgment, He does not answer! And abundant in righteousness,
Ko e Māfimafi, ʻoku ʻikai te tau faʻa ʻiloʻi ia: ʻoku lahi ia ʻi he mālohi, mo e fakamaau, pea mohu angatonu: ʻe ʻikai te ne tautea.
24 Therefore men fear Him, He does not see any of the wise of heart.”
Ko ia ʻoku manavahē ai ʻae kakai kiate ia: ʻoku ʻikai te ne tokanga ki ha tokotaha ʻoku loto poto.”
