Ioba 28
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1HE oiaio, he wahi ahu no ke kala, A he wahi no ke gula, kahi a lakou e hoomaemae ai.
1Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it .
2Ua laweia ka hao mailoko mai o ka lepo, A ua hooheheeia ke keleawe mailoko mai o ka pohaku.
2Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.
3Hoonoho no ia i ka hope no ka pouli, A imi no ia ma na wahi hohonu a pau; I ka pohaku o ka pouli a me ka malu make.
3He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.
4Eli ae ia i lua mao aku mai kahi e noho ai na kanaka; Iho lakou ilalo aole ma ka wawae, A lewa lakou mai kanaka aku.
4The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.
5O ka honua, kahi i puka mai ai ka berena, Ua hoohuaiia oia malalo iho ona e like me ke ahi.
5As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.
6O kona mau pohaku, kahi o ka sapira; A he lepo gula kona.
6The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.
7O ke alanui aole i ikeia e ka manu, Aole i ikeia e ka maka o ka vuletura;
7There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture’s eye hath not seen:
8Aole i hehi iho na holoholona hihiu ia ia, Aole ka liona i maalo ae ilaila.
8The lion’s whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.
9Kau aku no ia i kona lima maluna o ka pohakupaa; Hookahuli ae ia i na mauna mai ke kumu aku.
9He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.
10Hoopoha no ia i ke kahawai mawaena o na pohaku; A ike no kona maka i na mea waiwai nui a pau.
10He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.
11Pani aku no ia i na wai i ke kahe ana iho, A o na mea i hunaia kana i lawe mai ai i ka malamalama.
11He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.
12Aka, mahea la e loaa'i ka noeau? Mahea hoi kahi o ka naauao?
12But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?
13Aohe kanaka i ike i kona kumukuai; Aole hoi e loaa ia ma ka aina o ka poe e ola ana.
13Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.
14I mai ka hohonu, Aole ia iloko o'u: I mai la hoi ke kai, Aole ia me au.
14The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.
15Aole e haawiia ke gula maikai i kumu e loaa mai ai, Aole hoi e kaupaona ke kala i kumukuai nona.
15It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
16Aole e kau pu ia oia me ke gula o Opira, Me ka pohaku onika maikai a me ka sapira.
16It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
17Aole e hoolikeia ke gula a me ka pohaku aniani me ia: Aole e hooliloia ia mea no na ipu gula maikai.
17The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
18Aole e manaoia ke akoakoa, a me ka pohaku maikai: No ka mea, o ka waiwai o ka noeau ua oi aku ia mamua o na momi.
18No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
19Aole e hoolikeia ke topaza o Aitiopa me ia, Aole hoi ia e kau pu ia me ke gula maikai.
19The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
20Mai hea mai hoi ka noeau? A mahea hoi kahi o ka naauao?
20Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
21No ka mea, ua hunaia oia mai na maka aku o ka poe a pau e ola ana, A ua nalo oia mai na manu o ka lewa aku.
21Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.
22I mai la ka po a me ka make, Ua lohe no maua me ko maua pepeiao i kona lono.
22Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
23Ua maopopo no i ke Akua kona aoao, A oia ka i ike i kona wahi.
23God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.
24No ka mea, oia ka i nana aku i na welau o ka honua, Ua ike no ia malalo o ka lani a pau;
24For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;
25E hana i ka mea kaupaona no ka makani, A ua ana no ia i na wai maloko o ka mea ana.
25To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
26I kana hana ana i ke kanawai no ka ua, A me ke ala no ka uwila o ka hekili;
26When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
27Alaila ike no oia ia mea, a hoike mai hoi ia; Hoomakaukau oia ia mea, a imi aku hoi ia mea.
27Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
28A ua i mai no ia i ke kanaka, Aia hoi, o ka makau i ka Haku, oia ka noeau; A o ka haalele i ka hewa, oia ka naauao.
28And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
