Ioba 37
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1NO keia mea hoi haalulu kuu naau, A nauwe ae mai kona wahi aku.
1At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place.
2E hoolohe pono i ka poha ana o kona leo, A me ka halulu e puka ana mai kona waha mai.
2Hear attentively the noise of His voice, and the sound that goeth out of 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 sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, and His lightning unto 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.
4After it a voice roareth; He thundereth with the voice of His majesty; and He stayeth them not when His voice is heard.
5Hoohekili kupanaha mai la ke Akua me kona leo; Hana no ia i na mea nui, aole e ike maopopo ia.
5God thundereth marvellously with His voice; great things doeth He, which 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 saith to the snow: 'Fall thou on the earth'; likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of His mighty rain.
7Hoopaa aku ia i ka lima o na kanaka a pau, I ike na kanaka a pau i kana haua.
7He sealeth up the hand of every man, that all men whom He hath made may know it.
8A komo na holoholona iloko o na lua, A noho ma ko lakou mau wahi.
8Then the beasts go into coverts, and remain in their dens.
9Mai ke kukulu hema i hele mai ka puahiohio, A mai ke kukulu akau ke anu.
9Out of the Chamber cometh the storm; and cold out of the north.
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 ice is given, and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
11O ka wa malie hoi, ua kipaku ia i ke ao: Ua hoohehee kona malamalama i ka ohu:
11Yea, He ladeth the thick cloud with moister, He spreadeth abroad the cloud of His lightning;
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.
12And they are turned round about by His guidance, that they may do whatsoever He commandeth them upon the face of the habitable world:
13Ina no ka laau hahau, ina no kona aina, Ina no ke aloha, nana no ia i hoopuka mai.
13Whether it be for correction, or for His earth, or for mercy, that He cause it to come.
14E hoolohe mai oe, e Ioba, i keia; E ku malie, a e noonoo i na hana kupanaha a ke Akua.
14Hearken unto this, O Job; stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15Ua ike anei oe i ka hooponopono ana o ke Akua ia lakou, A hoopuka mai i ka malamalama o kona ao?
15Dost thou know how God enjoineth them, and causeth the lightning of His cloud to shine?
16Ua ike anei i na kaupaona ana o na ao, I na hana kupanaha o ka mea hemolele i ka ike?
16Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works 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?
17Thou whose garments are warm, when the earth is still by reason of 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?
18Canst thou with Him spread out the sky, which is strong as a molten mirror?
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 shall say unto Him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.
20E haiia aku anei ia ia, ke olelo aku au? Ina e olelo aku ke kanaka, e aleia auanei oia.
20Shall it be told Him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were 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.
21And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies; but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
22Mai ke kukulu akau ke alohilohi gula i hele mai ai; Aia i ke Akua ka nani weliweli.
22Out of the north cometh golden splendour, about God is terrible majesty.
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, whom we cannot find out, is excellent in power, yet to judgment and plenteous justice He doeth no violence.
24A makau na kanaka ia ia; Aole ia e maliu mai i ka poe naauao a pau.
24Men do therefore fear Him; He regardeth not any that are wise of heart.
