< Job 26 >
1 And Job answers and says:
A LAILA olelo mai la o Ioba, i mai la,
2 “How you have helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!
Pehea la oe i kokua mai ai i ka mea nawaliwali? A hooikaika mai hoi oe i ka lima ikaika ole?
3 How you have given counsel to the unwise, And made known wise plans in abundance.
Pehea la oe i ao mai ai i ka mea ike ole? A hoike nui mai hoi oe i ka noeau?
4 With whom have you declared words? And whose breath came forth from you?
Ia wai anei oe i hai aku i na olelo? Nowai ka hanu i puka ae mai ou mai la?
5 The Rephaim are formed, Also their inhabitants beneath the waters.
O na mea i make, ua haalulu lakou mai lalo mai, O na wai a me kolaila poe e noho ana.
6 Sheol [is] naked before Him, And there is no covering to destruction. (Sheol )
Ua ahuwale ka ka po imua ona, Aohe uhi no kahi o ka poe i make. (Sheol )
7 Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth on nothing,
Ua hohola aku ia i ke kukuluakau maluna o ka neoneo, Ua kau aku i ka honua maluna o ka mea ole.
8 Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not burst under them.
Ua hoopaa oia i na wai maloko o na ao ona, Aole i nahae ke ao malalo o lakou.
9 Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading His cloud over it.
Ua uhi no ia i ke alo o kona nohoalii, Ua hohola aku i kona ao maluna ona.
10 He has placed a limit on the waters, To the boundary of light with darkness.
Ua hoopuni oia i na wai i ka palena, A hiki i kahi e pau ai ka malamalama iloko o ka pouli.
11 Pillars of the heavens tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.
O na kia o ka lani ua haalulu, A weliweli hoi i kona papa ana mai.
12 By His power He has quieted the sea, And by His understanding struck the proud.
Ua hoomalielie oia i ke kai ma kona mana, A ma kona naauao, hahau iho ia i kona kiekie.
13 He beautified the heavens by His Spirit, His hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
Ma kona Uhane ua hoonani oia i na lani; Na kona lima i hana i ka nahesa e lele ana.
14 Behold, these [are] the borders of His way, and how little a matter is heard of Him, and who understands the thunder of His might?”
Aia hoi, oia kekahi mau mea o kona mau aoao; Nani hoi ka uuku o ka mea i loheia nona! A o ka hekili o kona mana owai la ka mea e ike pono?
