Job 26
1 Job replied [to Bildad], saying this [sarcastically]:
A LAILA olelo mai la o Ioba, i mai la,
2 “I am a very weak and helpless man; and (you [certainly] have not helped me [SAR] very much!/[do you think that] you have helped me [SAR] very much?) [RHQ]
Pehea la oe i kokua mai ai i ka mea nawaliwali? A hooikaika mai hoi oe i ka lima ikaika ole?
3 (You certainly have counseled me well—I, who am not wise at all./[Do you think that] you have counseled me well—I, who am not wise at all?) [RHQ] ([I’m sure you think that] you have given a lot of very good advice to me. [RHQ]
Pehea la oe i ao mai ai i ka mea ike ole? A hoike nui mai hoi oe i ka noeau?
4 Who helped you to say all those [great/wise] things? Who inspired you to speak like you did?”
Ia wai anei oe i hai aku i na olelo? Nowai ka hanu i puka ae mai ou mai la?
5 “[Because] the spirits of dead people [are afraid], [they] tremble in the waters that are deep under the earth.
O na mea i make, ua haalulu lakou mai lalo mai, O na wai a me kolaila poe e noho ana.
6 God knows all about [those who are in] the place of the dead; there is nothing down there that prevents God from seeing what is there. (Sheol h7585)
Ua ahuwale ka ka po imua ona, Aohe uhi no kahi o ka poe i make. (Sheol h7585)
7 God stretched out the earth over the huge empty space and caused the earth to have nothing [to support it].
Ua hohola aku ia i ke kukuluakau maluna o ka neoneo, Ua kau aku i ka honua maluna o ka mea ole.
8 He fills the thick/dense clouds with water and prevents that water from bursting the clouds.
Ua hoopaa oia i na wai maloko o na ao ona, Aole i nahae ke ao malalo o lakou.
9 He causes clouds to (obscure/prevent us from seeing) the moon.
Ua uhi no ia i ke alo o kona nohoalii, Ua hohola aku i kona ao maluna ona.
10 He separated the light from the darkness and put the horizon to mark the place where the night ends and the daytime begins.
Ua hoopuni oia i na wai i ka palena, A hiki i kahi e pau ai ka malamalama iloko o ka pouli.
11 When [he is angry, it is as though] he rebukes the pillars that hold up the sky. They are (shocked/very fearful), and they tremble.
O na kia o ka lani ua haalulu, A weliweli hoi i kona papa ana mai.
12 With his power he calmed the sea; with his skill/wisdom he destroyed Rahab, the huge sea monster.
Ua hoomalielie oia i ke kai ma kona mana, A ma kona naauao, hahau iho ia i kona kiekie.
13 With his breath he caused the sky to be bright/clear; with his hand he killed the great dragon in the sea.
Ma kona Uhane ua hoonani oia i na lani; Na kona lima i hana i ka nahesa e lele ana.
14 But those events show only a small amount of his power; [it is as though] we are hearing only whispers of his powerful voice. When we hear thunder, [we say, ] ‘(Who can really understand [how great] his power [is]/No one can [really] understand [how great] his power [is]!) [RHQ]’”
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?
