< Job 26 >

1 Then responded Job, and said: —
A LAILA olelo mai la o Ioba, i mai la,
2 How hast thou given help to one of no-strength? given victory to an arm of no-power?
Pehea la oe i kokua mai ai i ka mea nawaliwali? A hooikaika mai hoi oe i ka lima ikaika ole?
3 How hast thou given counsel to one of no-wisdom? or, effective wisdom, abundantly made known?
Pehea la oe i ao mai ai i ka mea ike ole? A hoike nui mai hoi oe i ka noeau?
4 Whom hast thou taught speech? Whose inspiration hath come from thee?
Ia wai anei oe i hai aku i na olelo? Nowai ka hanu i puka ae mai ou mai la?
5 The shades, tremble, beneath the waters and their inhabitants;
O na mea i make, ua haalulu lakou mai lalo mai, O na wai a me kolaila poe e noho ana.
6 Naked is hades before him, and there is no covering to destruction; (Sheol h7585)
Ua ahuwale ka ka po imua ona, Aohe uhi no kahi o ka poe i make. (Sheol h7585)
7 Who stretcheth out the north over emptiness, hangeth the earth upon nothingness;
Ua hohola aku ia i ke kukuluakau maluna o ka neoneo, Ua kau aku i ka honua maluna o ka mea ole.
8 Who bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not rent beneath them;
Ua hoopaa oia i na wai maloko o na ao ona, Aole i nahae ke ao malalo o lakou.
9 Who shutteth-in the face of the throne, he spreadeth over it his cloud;
Ua uhi no ia i ke alo o kona nohoalii, Ua hohola aku i kona ao maluna ona.
10 A, boundary, hath he encircled on the face of the waters, as far as where light ends in darkness;
Ua hoopuni oia i na wai i ka palena, A hiki i kahi e pau ai ka malamalama iloko o ka pouli.
11 The pillars of the heavens, are shaken, and are terrified at his rebuke:
O na kia o ka lani ua haalulu, A weliweli hoi i kona papa ana mai.
12 By his strength, hath he excited the sea, and, by his skill, hath he shattered the Crocodile:
Ua hoomalielie oia i ke kai ma kona mana, A ma kona naauao, hahau iho ia i kona kiekie.
13 By his spirit, hath he arched the heavens, His hand hath pierced the fleeing serpent.
Ma kona Uhane ua hoonani oia i na lani; Na kona lima i hana i ka nahesa e lele ana.
14 Lo! these, are the fringes of his way, and what a whisper of a word hath been heard of him! But, the thunder of his might, who could understand?
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?
