Job 26
1 Then Job answered,
Ano ra ko Hopa; i mea ia.
2 “How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!
He hapai pehea tau i te kahakore? He whakaora pehea tau i te ringa ngoikore?
3 How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
Ka tae tau whakatakoto whakaaro ma te whakaarokore! Te nui o tau whakaatu tikanga!
4 To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came out of you?
I puaki ki a wai au kupu? No wai te wairua i puta mai ra i a koe?
5 “The departed spirits tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live 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 north over empty space, and hangs the earth on 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, and the cloud is not burst 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 encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
E kaiponuhia ana e ia a mua o tona torona, horahia ana e ia tana kapua ki runga.
10 He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of 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 stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
Ko tona kaha hei whakakorikori i te moana, maru ana te whakakake i tona matauranga.
13 By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
Na tona wairua i whakapaipai nga rangi; na tona ringa i wero te nakahi tere.
14 Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?”
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?
