Job 35

1 Elihu spake moreouer, and said,

I korero ano a Erihu, i mea,

2 Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God?

Ki tou whakaaro he tika tenei mau, e mea ana ranei koe, Nui atu toku tika i to te Atua?

3 For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me from my sinne?

I mea ai koe, He aha te rawa ki a koe? a, He aha te painga ki ahau, hira ake i te painga me i hara ahau?

4 Therefore will I answere thee, and thy companions with thee.

Maku e whakahoki he kupu ki a koe, ki a koutou ko ou hoa.

5 Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou.

Kia matatau atu tau titiro ki nga rangi; matakitakina atu hoki nga kapua e tiketike ake na i a koe.

6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him?

Mehemea kua hara koe, ka ahatia ia e tau mahi? A ki te whakanuia au mahi tutu, e aha ana ranei koe ki a ia?

7 If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand?

Ki te mea he tika tou, ko te aha e hoatu ana e koe ki a ia? Ko te aha ranei a tou ringa e riro ana i a ia?

8 Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne of man.

Ka mamae pea tetahi tangata pena i a koe na i tou kino; ka whai painga pea ki tetahi tama a te tangata tou tika.

9 They cause many that are oppressed, to crye, which crye out for ye violence of the mightie.

He maha no nga tukinotanga i tangi ai ratou; na te ringaringa o te hunga nui i aue ai ratou kia awhinatia.

10 But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght?

Kahore ia tetahi e mea ana, Kei hea toku Kaihanga, te Atua, e homai nei i nga waiata i te po?

11 Which teacheth vs more then the beastes of the earth, and giueth vs more wisdome then the foules of the heauen.

E nui atu nei tana whakaako ki a tatou i tana ki nga kararehe o te whenua, nana hoki i nui ai o tatou mahara i o nga manu o te rangi?

12 Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not.

Karanga ana ratou i reira, heoi kahore he kupu e whakahokia mai, he mea na te whakapehapeha o te hunga kino.

13 Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it.

He pono e kore te tekateka noa e whakarangona mai e te Atua, e kore ano hoki e tirohia mai e te Kaha Rawa.

14 Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him.

Ka iti rawa iho ki te mea koe, kahore koe e kite i a ia, kei tona aroaro te whakarite whakawa; na ka tatari koe ki a ia!

15 But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie,

Na, kihai nei ia i tae mai i runga i tona riri, kihai ano hoki i aro nui mai ki te whakamanamana;

16 Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.

Koia i puaki ai te mangai o Hopa, he mea horihori kau nei; kahore he matauranga o nga kupu e whakamahatia nei e ia.
