Job 18
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
Ano ra ko Pirirara Huhi; i mea ia,
2 "How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
Kia pehea te roa o ta koutou whakatakoto mahanga mo nga kupu? Kia whai mahara mai, muri iho ka korero matou.
3 Why are we counted as animals, which have become unclean in your sight?
He aha matou i kiia ai he kararehe, i waiho ai hei mea poke ki ta koutou titiro mai?
4 You who tear yourself in your anger, shall the earth be forsaken for you? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?
Haea iho koe e koe ano, i a koe e riri ana. Mau koia ka mahue ai te whenua, ka nekehia ai te toka i tona wahi?
5 "Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, The spark of his fire shall not shine.
E pirau ano hoki te rama a te hunga kino, a e kore te mura o tana ahi e marama.
6 The light shall be dark in his tent. His lamp above him shall be put out.
Ka pouri te marama i roto i tona teneti, ka pirau ano hoki tana rama i runga i a ia.
7 The steps of his strength shall be shortened. His own counsel shall cast him down.
Ka whakakikitia nga takahanga o tona kaha, ka kokiritia iho ano ia ki raro e tona whakaaro ake.
8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he wanders into its mesh.
No te mea ka maka ia e ona waewae ake ki te kupenga, ka haere hoki ia i runga i te reti.
9 A snare will take him by the heel. A trap will catch him.
Ka mau tona rekereke i te tawhiti, a ka hopukia ia e te mahanga.
10 A noose is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him in the way.
Kei te huna ki te whenua te aho mona, te rore hoki mona ki te huarahi.
11 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall chase him at his heels.
He whakamataku i nga taha katoa hei mea i a ia kia wehi, hei aruaru hoki i a ia i ona hikitanga rekereke.
12 His strength shall be famished. Calamity shall be ready at his side.
Ko tona kaha ka hemo i te kai, a kei te whanga tonu te aitua ki tona tatunga.
13 The members of his body shall be devoured. The firstborn of death shall devour his members.
Ka pau i tera nga wahi o tona tinana, ae, ka pau ona wahi i te matamua o te mate.
14 He shall be rooted out of his tent where he trusts. He shall be brought to the king of terrors.
Ka hutia atu ia i roto i tona teneti, i whakamanawa ai ia, a ka kawea atu ia ki te kingi o nga whakamataku.
15 There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Sulfur shall be scattered on his habitation.
Na ka noho ki tona teneti te mea ehara nei i a ia: a ka ruia iho te whanariki ki runga ki tona kainga.
16 His roots shall be dried up beneath. Above shall his branch be cut off.
Ka maroke ake ona pakiaka i raro, a i runga ka tapahia atu tona manga.
17 His memory shall perish from the earth. He shall have no name in the street.
Ka ngaro atu te maharatanga ki a ia i runga i te whenua; e kore ano ia e whai ingoa i te huanui.
18 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
Ka peia atu ano ia i roto i te marama ki te pouri, ka atiatia atu hoki i te ao.
19 He shall have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining where he sojourned.
E kore ia e whai tama, e whai tama ranei a te tama, i roto i tona iwi, he morehu ranei i te wahi i noho ai ia.
20 Those who come after shall be astonished at his day, as those who went before were frightened.
Miharo ana ki tona ra te hunga i muri i a ia, pera i te hunga i haere ra i mua, mau ana to ratou wehi.
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous. This is the place of him who doesn't know God."
He pono ko nga nohoanga enei o te tangata kino, ko te wahi hoki tenei o te tangata kahore e mohio ki te Atua.
