Job 40
1 Moreouer ye Lord spake vnto Iob, and said,
OLELO mai hoi o Iehova ia Ioba, i mai la,
2 Is this to learne to striue with the Almightie? he that reprooueth God, let him answere to it.
O ka mea hoopaapaa i ka Mea mana, e ao mai anei ia ia ia? O ka mea e ao mai i ke Akua, nana no e ekemu mai.
3 Then Iob answered the Lord, saying,
Alaila, olelo aku o Ioba ia Iehova, i aku la,
4 Beholde, I am vile: what shall I answere thee? I will lay mine hand vpon my mouth.
Aia hoi, ua inoino wau; Heaha ka'u e ekemu aku ai ia oe? E kau aku au i kuu lima maluna o kuu waha.
5 Once haue I spoken, but I will answere no more, yea twise, but I will proceede no further.
Hookahi ka'u olelo ana, aka, aole au e ekemu hou; A elua hoi, aka, aole au e olelo hou aku.
6 Againe the Lord answered Iob out of the whirle winde, and said,
Alaila olelo mai o Iehova ia Ioba mailoko mai o ka puahiohio, i mai la,
7 Girde vp now thy loynes like a man: I will demaunde of thee, and declare thou vnto me.
E kakoo oe ano, me he kanaka la, i kou puhaka: E ninau aku au ia oe, a hoike mai oe ia'u.
8 Wilt thou disanul my iudgement? or wilt thou condemne me, that thou mayst be iustified?
E hoole anei hoi oe i ko'u pono? E hoahewa anei oe ia'u, i hoaponoia'i oe?
9 Or hast thou an arme like God? or doest thou thunder with a voyce like him?
He lima anei kou e like me ko ke Akua? E hiki anei ia oe ke hoohekili me ka leo e like me kona?
10 Decke thy selfe now with maiestie and excellencie, and aray thy selfe with beautie and glory.
E hoonani oe ano ia oe iho me ka hanohano a me ko kiekie; E hoaalu hoi ia oe iho i ka nani a me ka mahalo.
11 Cast abroad the indignation of thy wrath, and beholde euery one that is proude, and abase him.
E hookuu aku oe i kou huhu ikaika: A nana aku i ka mea kiekie a pau, a hoohaahaa ia ia.
12 Looke on euery one that is arrogant, and bring him lowe: and destroy the wicked in their place.
E nana aku i ka mea haaheo a pau, a e hookulou ia ia; A e hehi iho ilalo i ka poe hewa ma ko lakou wahi.
13 Hide them in the dust together, and binde their faces in a secret place.
E hoonalo pu ia lakou iloko o ka lepo; E uhi i ko lakou maka i ka pouli.
14 Then will I confesse vnto thee also, that thy right hand can saue thee.
Alaila e hooia aku au ia oe, E hiki no i kou lima akau ke hoola ia oe iho.
15 Behold now Behemoth (whom I made with thee) which eateth grasse as an oxe.
E nana ano i ka behemo, ka mea a'u i hana'i me oe; Ua ai no ia i ka weuweu e like me ka bipi.
16 Behold now, his strength is in his loynes, and his force is in the nauil of his belly.
Aia hoi, ano, o kona ikaika ma kona puhaka, O kona mana hoi ma na wahi paa o kona opu.
17 When hee taketh pleasure, his taile is like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapt together.
Ua kunini no ia i kona huelo me he laau kedera la, O na olona o kona uha ua ulana pu ia.
18 His bones are like staues of brasse, and his small bones like staues of yron.
O kona mau iwi me na auka keleawe, O kona mau iwi, ua like me na auka hao.
19 He is the chiefe of the wayes of God: he that made him, will make his sworde to approch vnto him.
Oia ke pookela o na hana a ke Akua! O ka mea nana ia i hana, haawi no ia i pahikaua nana.
20 Surely the mountaines bring him foorth grasse, where all the beastes of the fielde play.
Ua hoohua mai na mauna i ka ai nana, A malaila na holoholona a pau o ke kula i paani ai.
21 Lyeth hee vnder the trees in the couert of the reede and fennes?
Moe iho no ia malalo o na laau malu, Maloko o kahi nalo o ka ohe a me ke kiolepo.
22 Can the trees couer him with their shadow? or can the willowes of the riuer compasse him about?
Uhi iho la na laau malu ia ia me ko lakou malu; A puni mai ia ia na wilou o ke kahawai.
23 Behold, he spoyleth the riuer, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw vp Iorden into his mouth.
Aia hoi, huai mai ka muliwai, aole ia i holo aku, Noho malie no ia i ka wa i huai mai ai o Ioredane i kona waha.
24 Hee taketh it with his eyes, and thrusteth his nose through whatsoeuer meeteth him.
Imua o kona mau maka e hopu anei kekahi ia ia? A e hoopuka aku i kona ihu i ka lou?
