Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
World English Bible
1A LAILA olelo mai o Iehova ia Ioba mailoko mai o ka puahiohio, i mai la,
1Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind,
2Owai keia e hoopouli ana i ka oleloao, Ma na huaolelo me ka ike ole?
2“Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge?
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.
3Brace yourself like a man, for I will question you, then you answer me!
4Mahea oe i ko'u hookumu ana i ka honua? E hai mai, ina ua ike oe i ka naauao.
4“Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you have understanding.
5Na wai la i kau kona mau ana? ua ike ka oe! A owai hoi i kau aku i ke kaula-ana maluna ona?
5Who determined its measures, if you know? Or who stretched the line on it?
6Maluna o ke aha i hoonohoia'i kona mau kumu? Na wai la i hoonoho kona pohaku kihi;
6What were its foundations fastened on? Or who laid its cornerstone,
7I ka wa i mele pu ai na hoku ao, I hooho olioli ae hoi na keiki a pau a ke Akua?
7when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
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;
8“Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke out of the womb,
9I kuu kau ana i ke ao i kapa nona; A i ka pouli aaki i wahi nona;
9when I made clouds its garment, and wrapped it in thick darkness,
10A ua hoopuni aku au nona i kuu mau palena, A ua hoonoho aku i na kaola a me na pani,
10marked out for it my bound, set bars and doors,
11A ua i aku, Maanei oe e hele mai ai, aole aku; Maanei hoi e hoopaleia kou mau nalu kiekie.
11and said, ‘You may come here, but no further. Your proud waves shall be stopped here’?
12I kou mau la, ua kauoha anei oe i ke kakahiaka, Ua hoike aku oe i ka wanaao i kona wahi;
12“Have you commanded the morning in your days, and caused the dawn to know its place,
13I lalau aku ai ia i na welau o ka honua, I hookukeia'i ka poe hewa mai ona aku?
13that it might take hold of the ends of the earth, and shake the wicked out of it?
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.
14It is changed as clay under the seal, and presented as a garment.
15A ua hooleia ko lakou malamalama mai ka poe hewa aku, A o ka lima o ka mea ikaika ua haki.
15From the wicked, their light is withheld. The high arm is broken.
16Ua komo anei oe i na kumu o ke kai? A ua hele ae i ka imi ana i ka hohonu?
16“Have you entered into the springs of the sea? Or have you walked in the recesses of the deep?
17Ua weheia anei ia oe na puka o ka make? A ua ike anei oe i na puka o ka malu make?
17Have the gates of death been revealed to you? Or have you seen the gates of the shadow of death?
18Ua hoomaopopo anei oe i ka palahalaha o ka honua? E hai mai, ina ua ike oe ia mea a pau.
18Have you comprehended the earth in its width? Declare, if you know it all.
19Mahea ke ala kahi e noho ai ka malamalama? A o ka pouli mahea kona wahi?
19“What is the way to the dwelling of light? As for darkness, where is its place,
20I kaikai aku oe ia ia ma kona palena, A i ike aku oe i na ala o kona hale.
20that you should take it to its bound, that you should discern the paths to its house?
21Ua ike anei oe ia, no ka mea, ua hanau oe ia manawa? A no ka mea, ua nui loa kou mau la?
21Surely you know, for you were born then, and the number of your days is great!
22Ua komo anei oe i na hale ahu o ka hau? A ua ike anei oe i ke ahu ana o ka huahekili,
22Have you entered the storehouses of the snow, or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,
23Ka mea a'u i malama'i no ka manawa popilikia, No ka la hoouka a me ke kaua?
23which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?
24Ma ke ala hea i mahele ai ka malamalama? A i huai mai ka makani hikina maluna o ka honua?
24By what way is the lightning distributed, or the east wind scattered on the earth?
25Owai la i mahele i ka auwai no ka huai ana o ka wai, A i ke ala no ka uwila o ka hekili;
25Who has cut a channel for the flood water, or the path for the thunderstorm,
26E hooua mai maluna o ka aina kanaka ole; Ma ka waonahele kahi kanaka ole;
26to cause it to rain on a land where there is no man, on the wilderness, in which there is no man,
27E hoopiha i kahi neoneo, a me kahi nahele hooneoneo ia, E hooulu mai i ka mauu e puka mai ana?
27to satisfy the waste and desolate ground, to cause the tender grass to grow?
28He makuakane anei ko ka ua? Owai hoi i hoohanau i na kulu hau?
28Does the rain have a father? Or who fathers the drops of dew?
29Noloko mai o ka opu owai i puka mai ai ka waipaa? A o ka haupaa o ka lani, nawai i hoohanau?
29Whose womb did the ice come out of? Who has given birth to the gray frost of the sky?
30Ua hunaia na wai me he mea la malalo o ka pohaku, A o ka ili o ka hohonu ua hoopaaia.
30The waters become hard like stone, when the surface of the deep is frozen.
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?
31“Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades, or loosen the cords of Orion?
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?
32Can you lead the constellations out in their season? Or can you guide the Bear with her cubs?
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?
33Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you establish its dominion over the earth?
34E hiki anei ia oe ke hookiekie i kou leo iluna i ke ao, I uhi mai ai na wai nui ia oe?
34“Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover you?
35E hiki anei ia oe ke hoouna aku i na uwila, a hele aku lakou, A e olelo mai lakou, Eia makou?
35Can you send out lightnings, that they may go? Do they report to you, ‘Here we are’?
36Owai la ka i hoo i ke akamai i ko loko, Owai hoi i haawi i ka naauao no ka naau?
36Who has put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who has given understanding to the mind?
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?
37Who can count the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the containers of the sky,
38I ka wa i lilo ai ka lepo i mea paa, A pipili na papaa lepo?
38when the dust runs into a mass, and the clods of earth stick together?
39E hoohalua anei oe i ka mea ai na ka liona? A hoomaona i ka pololi ana o na liona opio,
39“Can you hunt the prey for the lioness, or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,
40I ka wa i moemoe ai lakou iloko o ko lakou mau lua, A noho lakou ma kahi huna, no ka hoohalua ana?
40when they crouch in their dens, and lie in wait in the thicket?
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?
41Who provides for the raven his prey, when his young ones cry to God, and wander for lack of food?
