Job 26
1 Then Job answered and said,
Ano ra ko Hopa; i mea ia.
2 “How you have helped one who has no power! How you have saved the arm that has no strength!
He hapai pehea tau i te kahakore? He whakaora pehea tau i te ringa ngoikore?
3 How you have advised one who has no wisdom and announced to him sound knowledge!
Ka tae tau whakatakoto whakaaro ma te whakaarokore! Te nui o tau whakaatu tikanga!
4 With whose help have you spoken these words? Whose spirit was it that came out from you?
I puaki ki a wai au kupu? No wai te wairua i puta mai ra i a koe?
5 The dead are made to tremble, those who are beneath the waters and all who dwell in them.
E wiri ana nga tupapaku i raro i te wai, me nga mea ano e noho ana i reira.
E takoto kau ana te reinga i tona aroaro, kahore hoki he hipoki mo te whakangaro. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretches out the northern skies over the empty space, and he hangs the earth over nothing.
E horahia atu ana e ia te raki ki runga ki te wahi takoto kau, whakairihia ana e ia te whenua ki runga ki te kahore noa iho.
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, but the clouds are not torn under them.
E takaia ana e ia nga wai ki roto ki ana kapua matotoru; a kahore te kapua e pakaru i raro i a ratou.
9 He covers the surface of the moon and spreads his clouds on it.
E kaiponuhia ana e ia a mua o tona torona, horahia ana e ia tana kapua ki runga.
10 He has engraved a circular boundary on the surface of the waters as the line between light and darkness.
He mea karapoti nana nga wai, rohe rawa, a tae noa ki te mutunga mai o te marama me te pouri.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
Wiri ana nga pou o te rangi, miharo ana ki tana whakatupehupehu.
12 He calmed the sea with his power; by his understanding he shattered Rahab.
Ko tona kaha hei whakakorikori i te moana, maru ana te whakakake i tona matauranga.
13 By his breath he made the skies clear; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
Na tona wairua i whakapaipai nga rangi; na tona ringa i wero te nakahi tere.
14 See, these are but the fringes of his ways; how small a whisper do we hear of him! Who can understand the thunder of his power?”
Na, he pito enei no ona ara; ano te iti o te wahi ona e rangona ana! Ko te whatitiri ia o tona kaha, ko wai ka matau?
