Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
1A LAILA olelo mai o Iehova ia Ioba mailoko mai o ka puahiohio, i mai la,
2“Who is this who obscures My counsel by words without knowledge?
2Owai keia e hoopouli ana i ka oleloao, Ma na huaolelo me ka ike ole?
3Now brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall inform Me.
3E kakoo ano i kou puhaka me he kanaka la; No ka mea, e ninau aku au ia oe, a e hoike mai oe ia'u.
4Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding.
4Mahea oe i ko'u hookumu ana i ka honua? E hai mai, ina ua ike oe i ka naauao.
5Who fixed its measurements? Surely you know! Or who stretched a measuring line across it?
5Na wai la i kau kona mau ana? ua ike ka oe! A owai hoi i kau aku i ke kaula-ana maluna ona?
6On what were its foundations set, or who laid its cornerstone,
6Maluna o ke aha i hoonohoia'i kona mau kumu? Na wai la i hoonoho kona pohaku kihi;
7while the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
7I ka wa i mele pu ai na hoku ao, I hooho olioli ae hoi na keiki a pau a ke Akua?
8Who enclosed the sea behind doors when it burst forth from the womb,
8Nawai i hoopuni i ke kai me na pani? I kona huaiia mai la e like me ka puka ana ae mailoko mai o ka opu;
9when I made the clouds its garment and thick darkness its blanket,
9I kuu kau ana i ke ao i kapa nona; A i ka pouli aaki i wahi nona;
10when I fixed its boundaries and set in place its bars and doors,
10A ua hoopuni aku au nona i kuu mau palena, A ua hoonoho aku i na kaola a me na pani,
11and I declared: ‘You may come this far, but no farther; here your proud waves must stop’?
11A ua i aku, Maanei oe e hele mai ai, aole aku; Maanei hoi e hoopaleia kou mau nalu kiekie.
12In your days, have you commanded the morning or assigned the dawn its place,
12I kou mau la, ua kauoha anei oe i ke kakahiaka, Ua hoike aku oe i ka wanaao i kona wahi;
13that it might spread to the ends of the earth and shake the wicked out of it?
13I lalau aku ai ia i na welau o ka honua, I hookukeia'i ka poe hewa mai ona aku?
14The earth takes shape like clay under a seal; its hills stand out like the folds of a garment.
14Hoololi ia ia iho e like me ka wepa no ka hoailona; A ku ae ia mau mea iluna e like me ka lole aahu maikai.
15Light is withheld from the wicked, and their upraised arm is broken.
15A ua hooleia ko lakou malamalama mai ka poe hewa aku, A o ka lima o ka mea ikaika ua haki.
16Have you journeyed to the vents of the sea or walked in the trenches of the deep?
16Ua komo anei oe i na kumu o ke kai? A ua hele ae i ka imi ana i ka hohonu?
17Have the gates of death been revealed to you? Have you seen the gates of the shadow of death?
17Ua weheia anei ia oe na puka o ka make? A ua ike anei oe i na puka o ka malu make?
18Have you surveyed the extent of the earth? Tell Me, if you know all this.
18Ua hoomaopopo anei oe i ka palahalaha o ka honua? E hai mai, ina ua ike oe ia mea a pau.
19Where is the way to the home of light? Do you know where darkness resides,
19Mahea ke ala kahi e noho ai ka malamalama? A o ka pouli mahea kona wahi?
20so you can lead it back to its border? Do you know the paths to its home?
20I kaikai aku oe ia ia ma kona palena, A i ike aku oe i na ala o kona hale.
21Surely you know, for you were already born! And the number of your days is great!
21Ua ike anei oe ia, no ka mea, ua hanau oe ia manawa? A no ka mea, ua nui loa kou mau la?
22Have you entered the storehouses of snow or observed the storehouses of hail,
22Ua komo anei oe i na hale ahu o ka hau? A ua ike anei oe i ke ahu ana o ka huahekili,
23which I hold in reserve for times of trouble, for the day of war and battle?
23Ka mea a'u i malama'i no ka manawa popilikia, No ka la hoouka a me ke kaua?
24In which direction is the lightning dispersed, or the east wind scattered over the earth?
24Ma ke ala hea i mahele ai ka malamalama? A i huai mai ka makani hikina maluna o ka honua?
25Who cuts a channel for the flood or clears a path for the thunderbolt,
25Owai la i mahele i ka auwai no ka huai ana o ka wai, A i ke ala no ka uwila o ka hekili;
26to bring rain on a barren land, on a desert where no man lives,
26E hooua mai maluna o ka aina kanaka ole; Ma ka waonahele kahi kanaka ole;
27to satisfy the parched wasteland and make it sprout with tender grass?
27E hoopiha i kahi neoneo, a me kahi nahele hooneoneo ia, E hooulu mai i ka mauu e puka mai ana?
28Does the rain have a father? Who has begotten the drops of dew?
28He makuakane anei ko ka ua? Owai hoi i hoohanau i na kulu hau?
29From whose womb does the ice emerge? Who gives birth to the frost from heaven,
29Noloko mai o ka opu owai i puka mai ai ka waipaa? A o ka haupaa o ka lani, nawai i hoohanau?
30when the waters become hard as stone and the surface of the deep is frozen?
30Ua hunaia na wai me he mea la malalo o ka pohaku, A o ka ili o ka hohonu ua hoopaaia.
31Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades or loosen the belt of Orion?
31E hiki anei ia oe ke hoopaa i na mea paa o na Huhui, A e kala ae paha i na mea paa o Oriona?
32Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons or lead out the Bear and her cubs?
32E hiki anei ia oe ke hoopuka mai i Masarota i kona manawa? A e alakai paha i ka Bea nui me kana mau keiki?
33Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you set their dominion over the earth?
33Ua ike anei oe i na kanawai o ka lani? E hiki anei ia oe ke hoopaa i kona alii ana maluna o ka honua?
34Can you command the clouds so that a flood of water covers you?
34E hiki anei ia oe ke hookiekie i kou leo iluna i ke ao, I uhi mai ai na wai nui ia oe?
35Can you send the lightning bolts on their way? Do they report to you, ‘Here we are’?
35E hiki anei ia oe ke hoouna aku i na uwila, a hele aku lakou, A e olelo mai lakou, Eia makou?
36Who has put wisdom in the heart or given understanding to the mind?
36Owai la ka i hoo i ke akamai i ko loko, Owai hoi i haawi i ka naauao no ka naau?
37Who has the wisdom to count the clouds? Or who can tilt the water jars of the heavens
37Owai la ka mea hiki ke helu i na ao ma kona akamai? A o na hue o ka lani, owai ka mea i ninini?
38when the dust hardens into a mass and the clods of earth stick together?
38I ka wa i lilo ai ka lepo i mea paa, A pipili na papaa lepo?
39Can you hunt the prey for a lioness or satisfy the hunger of young lions
39E hoohalua anei oe i ka mea ai na ka liona? A hoomaona i ka pololi ana o na liona opio,
40when they crouch in their dens and lie in wait in the thicket?
40I ka wa i moemoe ai lakou iloko o ko lakou mau lua, A noho lakou ma kahi huna, no ka hoohalua ana?
41Who provides food for the raven when its young cry out to God as they wander about for lack of food?
41Owai la ka i hoomakaukau na ke koraka i kana ai, I ka wa i uwe ai kana mau keiki i ke Akua, A ua auwana no ka nele i ka ai?
