Ioba 39
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1U A ike anei oe i ka wa e hanau ai na kao hihiu o ka pali? Ua malama anei oe i ka hanau ana o na dia?
1Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? Or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?
2E hiki anei ia oe ke helu i na malama o ko lakou koko ana? A ua ike anei oe i ka wa e hanau ai lakou?
2Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? Or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
3Kulou iho no lakou, hanau mai i ka lakou mau keiki, I ka wa i pau ai ko lakou nahunahu ana.
3They bow themselves, they bring forth their young, they cast out their fruit.
4Ua ikaika ka lakou poe keiki, Nui ae la lakou, ma ka waonahele; Hele aku lakou aole e hoi hou mai io lakou la.
4Their young ones wax strong, they grow up in the open field; they go forth, and return not again.
5Owai la ka i hookuu wale aku i ka hoki hihiu? Owai hoi ka i kala ae i na mea paa o ka hoki hihiu?
5Who hath sent out the wild ass free? Or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?
6O kona hale ka waonahele a'u i hana'i, A o kahi panoa kona noho ana.
6Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the salt land his dwelling-place.
7Akaaka no ia i ka haunaele o ke kulanakauhale, Aole ia e hoolohe i ka wawa o ke kahu holoholona.
7He scorneth the tumult of the city, neither heareth he the shoutings of the driver.
8O ka mea i loaa o na mauna, oia kana ai, A imi no ia i na mea uliuli a pau.
8The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.
9E ae mai anei ka reema e hookauwa nau, E noho no ia ma kou wahi hanai?
9Will the wild-ox be willing to serve thee? Or will he abide by thy crib?
10E hiki ia oe ke hoopaa i ka reema ma ke auwaha me kona kaula? E hana anei ia i na awawa me ka oopalau mahope ou?
10Canst thou bind the wild-ox with his band in the furrow? Or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
11E hilinai anei oe ia ia no ka nui o kona ikaika? E waiho anei oe i kau hana ia ia?
11Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? Or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
12E manao anei oe ia ia i hoihoi mai ia i kau ai. A e hoiliili i kau hua palaoa?
12Wilt thou rely on him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather the corn of thy threshing-floor?
13O ka eheu o ka iana ke hele wikiwiki; He eheu anei a he hulu kona e like me ko ka setoreka?
13The wing of the ostrich beateth joyously; but are her pinions and feathers the kindly stork's?
14No ka mea, waiho no ia i kona hua iloko o ka honua, A hoopumehana ia lakou ma ka lepo,
14For she leaveth her eggs on the earth, and warmeth them in dust,
15A hoopoina no ia e hoopepe auanei ka wawae ia lakou, A o ka holoholona hihiu o ke kula e hehi iho ia lakou.
15And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may trample them.
16Ua hana paakiki aku ia i kana mau keiki, me he mea la aole nana; He make hewa kona luhi, a he makau ole nae.
16She is hardened against her young ones, as if they were not hers; though her labour be in vain, she is without fear;
17Na ke Akua no ia i hoonele i ke akamai, Aole hoi ia i haawi ia ia i ka naauao.
17Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath He imparted to her understanding.
18Aka, i ka wa i hooholo ai oia ia ia iho, Ua akaaka no ia i ka lio a me kona mea hooholo.
18When the time cometh, she raiseth her wings on high, and scorneth the horse and his rider.
19Ua haawi anei oe i ka ikaika no ka lio? Ua hoaahu anei oe i kona a-i i ka hulu haalulu?
19Hast thou given the horse his strength? Hast thou clothed his neck with fierceness?
20E hiki anei ia oe ke hoolele ia ia e like me ka uhini? A kona hau nui ana, he mea weliweli ia.
20Hast thou made him to leap as a locust? The glory of his snorting is terrible.
21Helu no oia ma ke awawa, a olioli ikaika: Hele aku e halawai me ka mea kaua.
21He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength; he goeth out to meet the clash of arms.
22Ua akaaka no ia i ka makau, aole haalulu; Aole ia e huli ae mai ka pahikaua aku.
22He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.
23Nakeke ke aapua ia ia, O ka maka o ka ihe a me ka pahi.
23The quiver rattleth upon him, the glittering spear and the javelin.
24Me ka hau ana a me ka huhu, ua ale no ia i ka aina: Aole ia e ku malie i ka wa e kani ai ka pu.
24He swalloweth the ground with storm and rage; neither believeth he that it is the voice of the horn.
25I waena o na pu kani, i iho la ia, Ha, ha! A honi aku la ia i ke kaua ma kahi loihi, I ka uwa ana o na luna, a me ka hooho kaua.
25As oft as he heareth the horn he saith: 'Ha, ha!' and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
26Na kou naauao anei e lele aku ka nisu, Hohola aku no ia i kona mau eheu ma ke kukulu hema?
26Doth the hawk soar by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?
27Na kau kauoha anei i lele ae iluna ka aeto, A e kau i kona punana ma kahi kiekie?
27Doth the vulture mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?
28Ma ka pali no ia i noho ai a hoomau ai, Maluna o kahi oioi o ka pohaku, a ma kahi paa.
28She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the stronghold.
29Malaila mai no ia i imi ai i ka mea pio, A nana ae kona maka i kahi loihi.
29From thence she spieth out the prey; her eyes behold it afar off.
30O kana poe keiki, inu lakou i ke koko; A ma kahi o na heana, malaila no oia.
30Her young ones also suck up blood; and where the slain are, there is she.
