Siope 26
1 Ka naʻe tali ʻe Siope, ʻo ne pehē,
But Job answered and said,
2 “ʻOku fēfē ʻa hoʻo tokoni ki he taʻemālohi? ʻOku fakamoʻui fēfē ʻe koe ʻae nima vaivai?
How have you helped him that is without power? how save you the arm that has no strength?
3 ʻOku fēfē ʻa hoʻo fakapotoʻi ʻae taʻepoto? Pea fēfē ʻa hoʻo fakahā lahi ʻae meʻa ʻoku totonu?
How have you counselled him that has no wisdom? and how have you plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4 Ko hoʻo lea mai kia hai? Pea ko e laumālie ʻo hai kuo haʻu meiate koe?
To whom have you uttered words? and whose spirit came from you?
5 “Ko e kakai mālohi kuo mate, mo kinautolu ʻoku nau nonofo, ʻoku nau feinga ki lalo ʻi he ngaahi vai.
Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
6 ʻOku vavanga ʻae maama fufū ʻi hono ʻao, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻufiʻufi ʻoe potu fakaʻauha. (Sheol h7585)
Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering. (Sheol h7585)
7 ʻOku ne folahi atu ʻe ia ʻae potu fakatokelau ʻi he atāloa, pea ne tautau ʻa māmani ki he ʻatā noa pe.
He stretches out the north over the empty place, and hangs the earth upon nothing.
8 ʻOku ne haʻihaʻi ʻae ngaahi vai ʻi hono ngaahi ʻao matolu; pea ʻoku ʻikai mahaehae ai ʻae ʻao.
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
9 ʻOku ne taʻofi atu ʻa hono muʻa ʻafioʻanga, ʻo ne folahi ʻene ʻao ki ai.
He holds back the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud upon it.
10 ʻOku ne takatakai ʻae moana ʻo ʻai hono ngataʻanga, kaeʻoua ke ʻosi ʻae ʻaho mo e pō.
He has compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
11 ʻOku ngalulu ʻae ngaahi pou ʻoe langi, pea ofo ʻi heʻene valoki.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
12 ʻOku ne fakalaolao ʻae tahi ʻaki hono mālohi, pea ʻi heʻene poto ʻoku ne tā hifo ʻae laukau.
He divides the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through the proud.
13 Ko hono laumālie kuo ne teuteu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi langi; pea kuo ngaohi ʻe hono nima ʻae ngata pikopiko.
By his spirit he has garnished the heavens; his hand has formed the crooked serpent.
14 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?”
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?
