Job 39
1 Hast thou known the time of The bearing of the wild goats of the rock? The bringing forth of hinds thou dost mark!
E mohiotia ana ranei e koe te wa e whanau ai nga koati mohoao o te kamaka? E kitea putia ana ranei e koe te wa e whakamamae ai nga hata?
2 Thou dost number the months they fulfil? And thou hast known the time of their bringing forth!
E taua ano ranei e koe nga marama e rite ana i a ratou? E mohio ana ranei koe ki te wa e whanau ai ratou?
3 They bow down, Their young ones they bring forth safely, Their pangs they cast forth.
Tuohu ana ratou, kua puta mai a ratou kuao, akiritia mai ana e ratou o ratou mea whakapouri.
4 Safe are their young ones, They grow up in the field, they have gone out, And have not returned to them.
E pai ana te ahua o a ratou kuao, e tupu ana i te parae; ka haere atu ratou, a kahore e hoki mai ano.
5 Who hath sent forth the wild ass free? Yea, the bands of the wild ass who opened?
Na wai i tuku te kaihe mohoao kia haere noa atu; nga here o te kaihe mohoao, na wai i wewete?
6 Whose house I have made the wilderness, And his dwellings the barren land,
Ko te whare i whakaritea nei e ahau mona, ko te koraha: ko ona nohoanga ko te wahi titiohea.
7 He doth laugh at the multitude of a city, The cries of an exactor he heareth not.
Whakahaweatia iho e ia te ngangau o te pa; e kore ia e rongo ki te reo o te kaiakiaki.
8 The range of mountains [is] his pasture, And after every green thing he seeketh.
Ko tona wahi kai kei te tuahiwi o nga maunga, e rapua ana e ia nga mea matomato katoa.
9 Is a Reem willing to serve thee? Doth he lodge by thy crib?
E pai ranei te unikanga kia mahi ki a koe? Kei tau takotoranga kai ranei he moenga mona?
10 Dost thou bind a Reem in a furrow [with] his thick band? Doth he harrow valleys after thee?
E herea ranei e koe te unikanga ki tona taura i te awa parautanga? E rakarakatia ranei e ia nga raorao me tana whai ano i a koe?
11 Dost thou trust in him because great [is] his power? And dost thou leave unto him thy labour?
E whakawhirinaki atu ranei koe ki a ia, no te mea e nui ana tona kaha? E whakarerea atu ranei e koe tau mahi mana?
12 Dost thou trust in him That he doth bring back thy seed? And [to] thy threshing-floor doth gather [it]?
E whakapono atu ranei koe mana au hua e whakahoki mai; mana e kohikohi mai ki tau patunga witi?
13 The wing of the rattling ones exulteth, Whether the pinion of the ostrich or hawk.
E whakamanamana ana te parirau o te otereti; otira he atawhai ano ranei ta ona hou, ta ona raukura?
14 For she leaveth on the earth her eggs, And on the dust she doth warm them,
E whakarerea ana e ia ona hua ki te whenua, whakamahanatia iho e ia ki te puehu,
15 And she forgetteth that a foot may press it, And a beast of the field tread it down.
Wareware ake ia tera pea e pepe i te waewae, e takahia ranei e te kirehe o te parae.
16 Her young ones it hath hardened without her, In vain [is] her labour without fear.
He mea pakeke ia ki ana pi me te mea ehara i a ia: ahakoa ka maumauria tana mahi, kahore ona manawapa;
17 For God hath caused her to forget wisdom, And He hath not given a portion To her in understanding:
No te mea i whakakahoretia e te Atua he ngakau mahara mona, kihai hoki i homai he whakaaro ki a ia.
18 At the time on high she lifteth herself up, She laugheth at the horse and at his rider.
I te wa e maranga ai ia ki runga, whakahaweatia iho e ia te hoiho raua ko tona kaieke.
19 Dost thou give to the horse might? Dost thou clothe his neck [with] a mane?
Nau ranei i hoatu tona kaha ki tae hoiho? Nau ranei tona kaki i whakakakahu ki te huruhuru?
20 Dost thou cause him to rush as a locust? The majesty of his snorting [is] terrible.
Nau ranei ia i mea kia pekepeke, kia pera me te mawhitiwhiti? He hanga whakawehi te kororia o tona whewhengu.
21 They dig in a valley, and he rejoiceth in power, He goeth forth to meet the armour.
E hukari ana ia ia te raorao, me te koa ano ki tona kaha: tika tonu ia ki te hunga mau patu.
22 He laugheth at fear, and is not affrighted, And he turneth not back from the face of the sword.
Whakahawea ana ia ki te wehi, kahore ona mataku; e kore ano ia e nunumi mai i te hoari.
23 Against him rattle doth quiver, The flame of a spear, and a halbert.
Papa ana te papa pere ki tona taha, te tao e rarapa ana, me te timata.
24 With trembling and rage he swalloweth the ground, And remaineth not stedfast Because of the sound of a trumpet.
E horomia ana e ia te whenua, me te ngangau me te riri; kahore ia i te whakapono ko te reo tera o te tetere.
25 Among the trumpets he saith, Aha, And from afar he doth smell battle, Roaring of princes and shouting.
Ka tangi ana te tetere ka mea ia, Ha, ha! I tawhiti ano ka hongia e ia te pakanga, te whatitiri o nga rangatira, me te hamama.
26 By thine understanding flieth a hawk? Spreadeth he his wings to the south?
He mohio nou i rere ai te kahu, i roha ai i ona parirau, i anga ai whaka te tonga?
27 At thy command goeth an eagle up high? Or lifteth he up his nest?
Nau te kupu i kake ai te ekara? i hanga ai e ia tana ohanga ki te wahi tiketike?
28 A rock he doth inhabit, Yea, he lodgeth on the tooth of a rock, and fortress.
Noho ana ia i runga i te kamaka, kei reira tona kainga, kei te kamaka keokeo, kei te pa kaha.
29 From thence he hath sought food, To a far off place his eyes look attentively,
A rapua ana e ia he kai i reira; e kite atu ana ona kanohi i tawhiti.
30 And his brood gulp up blood, And where the pierced [are] — there [is] he!
Horomititia ake ana hoki nga toto e ana pi; a ko te wahi i nga tupapaku, kei reira ano ia.
