Ioba 39
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
World English Bible
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?
1“Do you know the time when the mountain goats give birth? Do you watch when the doe bears fawns?
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?
2Can you count the months that they fulfill? Or do you know the time when they give birth?
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 bear their young. They end their labor pains.
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 become strong. They grow up in the open field. They go out, and don’t return 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?
5“Who has set the wild donkey free? Or who has loosened the bonds of the swift donkey,
6O kona hale ka waonahele a'u i hana'i, A o kahi panoa kona noho ana.
6whose home 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 scorns the tumult of the city, neither does he hear the shouting 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. He searches after every green thing.
9E ae mai anei ka reema e hookauwa nau, E noho no ia ma kou wahi hanai?
9“Will the wild ox be content to serve you? Or will he stay by your feeding trough?
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?
10Can you hold the wild ox in the furrow with his harness? Or will he till the valleys after you?
11E hilinai anei oe ia ia no ka nui o kona ikaika? E waiho anei oe i kau hana ia ia?
11Will you trust him, because his strength is great? Or will you leave to him your labor?
12E manao anei oe ia ia i hoihoi mai ia i kau ai. A e hoiliili i kau hua palaoa?
12Will you confide in him, that he will bring home your seed, and gather the grain of your threshing floor?
13O ka eheu o ka iana ke hele wikiwiki; He eheu anei a he hulu kona e like me ko ka setoreka?
13“The wings of the ostrich wave proudly, but are they the feathers and plumage of love?
14No ka mea, waiho no ia i kona hua iloko o ka honua, A hoopumehana ia lakou ma ka lepo,
14For she leaves her eggs on the earth, warms them in the 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 forgets that the foot may crush them, or that the wild animal 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 deals harshly with her young ones, as if they were not hers. Though her labor is 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 has deprived her of wisdom, neither has 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 she lifts up herself on high, she scorns 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?
19“Have you given the horse might? Have you clothed his neck with a quivering mane?
20E hiki anei ia oe ke hoolele ia ia e like me ka uhini? A kona hau nui ana, he mea weliweli ia.
20Have you made him to leap as a locust? The glory of his snorting is awesome.
21Helu no oia ma ke awawa, a olioli ikaika: Hele aku e halawai me ka mea kaua.
21He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength. He goes out to meet the armed men.
22Ua akaaka no ia i ka makau, aole haalulu; Aole ia e huli ae mai ka pahikaua aku.
22He mocks at fear, and is not dismayed, neither does he turn back from the sword.
23Nakeke ke aapua ia ia, O ka maka o ka ihe a me ka pahi.
23The quiver rattles against him, the flashing 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 eats up the ground with fierceness and rage, neither does he stand still at the sound of the trumpet.
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 often as the trumpet sounds he snorts, ‘Aha!’ He smells 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?
26“Is it by your wisdom that the hawk soars, and stretches her wings toward the south?
27Na kau kauoha anei i lele ae iluna ka aeto, A e kau i kona punana ma kahi kiekie?
27Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up, and makes his 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.
28On the cliff he dwells and makes his home, on the point of the cliff and the stronghold.
29Malaila mai no ia i imi ai i ka mea pio, A nana ae kona maka i kahi loihi.
29From there he spies out the prey. His eyes see it afar off.
30O kana poe keiki, inu lakou i ke koko; A ma kahi o na heana, malaila no oia.
30His young ones also suck up blood. Where the slain are, there he is.”
