Ioba 37
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1NO keia mea hoi haalulu kuu naau, A nauwe ae mai kona wahi aku.
1“At this my heart also pounds and leaps from its place.
2E hoolohe pono i ka poha ana o kona leo, A me ka halulu e puka ana mai kona waha mai.
2Listen closely to the thunder of His voice and the rumbling that comes from His mouth.
3Malalo o ka lani a pau nana no ia i nou aku, A o kona malamalama i na welau o ka honua.
3He unleashes His lightning beneath the whole sky and sends it to the ends of the earth.
4Mahope o ia mea, poha mai ka leo; Hoohekili mai ia me kona leo mana; Aole ia e hoopaa ia lakou i loheia'i kona leo.
4Then there comes a roaring sound; He thunders with His majestic voice. He does not restrain the lightning when His voice resounds.
5Hoohekili kupanaha mai la ke Akua me kona leo; Hana no ia i na mea nui, aole e ike maopopo ia.
5God thunders wondrously with His voice; He does great things we cannot comprehend.
6No ka mea, ua i aku ia i ka hau, E kau ma ka honua, A i ka ua liilii, a me ka ua nui o kona ikaika.
6For He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the gentle rain, ‘Pour out a mighty downpour.’
7Hoopaa aku ia i ka lima o na kanaka a pau, I ike na kanaka a pau i kana haua.
7He seals up the hand of every man, so that all men may know His work.
8A komo na holoholona iloko o na lua, A noho ma ko lakou mau wahi.
8The wild animals enter their lairs; they settle down in their dens.
9Mai ke kukulu hema i hele mai ka puahiohio, A mai ke kukulu akau ke anu.
9The tempest comes from its chamber, and the cold from the driving north winds.
10Mai ka hanu o ke Akua i haawiia mai ka wai paa: A o ka palahalaha o na wai, ua hoopaaia.
10By the breath of God the ice is formed and the watery expanses are frozen.
11O ka wa malie hoi, ua kipaku ia i ke ao: Ua hoohehee kona malamalama i ka ohu:
11He loads the clouds with moisture; He scatters His lightning through them.
12A ua hoohuliia'ku ia a puni ma kona manao; I hana aku ai lakou i na mea a pau ana i kauoha mai ai, Ma ke alo o ka honua a puni.
12They swirl about, whirling at His direction, accomplishing all that He commands over the face of all the earth.
13Ina no ka laau hahau, ina no kona aina, Ina no ke aloha, nana no ia i hoopuka mai.
13Whether for punishment or for His land, He accomplishes this in His loving devotion.
14E hoolohe mai oe, e Ioba, i keia; E ku malie, a e noonoo i na hana kupanaha a ke Akua.
14Listen to this, O Job; stand still and consider the wonders of God.
15Ua ike anei oe i ka hooponopono ana o ke Akua ia lakou, A hoopuka mai i ka malamalama o kona ao?
15Do you know how God dispatches the clouds or makes the lightning flash?
16Ua ike anei i na kaupaona ana o na ao, I na hana kupanaha o ka mea hemolele i ka ike?
16Do you understand how the clouds float, those wonders of Him who is perfect in knowledge?
17A pehea hoi i mahana ai kou kapa, I ka wa i hoomalie mai ai oia i ka aina i ka makani kukulu hema?
17You whose clothes get hot when the land lies hushed under the south wind,
18E hiki anei ia oe me ia ke hohola aku i ke aouli, He ikaika, e like me ke aniani i hooheheeia?
18can you, like Him, spread out the skies to reflect the heat like a mirror of bronze?
19E hoike mai oe ia makou i ka mea a makou e olelo aku ai ia ia; Aole makou e olelo aku, no ka pouli.
19Teach us what we should say to Him; we cannot draw up our case when our faces are in darkness.
20E haiia aku anei ia ia, ke olelo aku au? Ina e olelo aku ke kanaka, e aleia auanei oia.
20Should He be told that I want to speak? Would a man ask to be swallowed up ?
21Ano aole lakou i ike i ka malamalama alohilohi iloko o na ao; A hele ae la ka makani a hoomaemae ia lakou.
21Now no one can gaze at the sun when it is bright in the skies after the wind has swept them clean.
22Mai ke kukulu akau ke alohilohi gula i hele mai ai; Aia i ke Akua ka nani weliweli.
22Out of the north He comes in golden splendor; awesome majesty surrounds Him.
23O ka Mea mana, aole e loaa ia kakou ia; Ua hoonui i ka ikaika, a i ka pono, a ua nui hoi i ka lokomaikai; Aole ia e hookaumaha.
23The Almighty is beyond our reach; He is exalted in power! In His justice and great righteousness He does not oppress.
24A makau na kanaka ia ia; Aole ia e maliu mai i ka poe naauao a pau.
24Therefore, men fear Him, for He is not partial to the wise in heart.”
