Ioba 26
1 A LAILA olelo mai la o Ioba, i mai la,
Then Job made answer and said,
2 Pehea la oe i kokua mai ai i ka mea nawaliwali? A hooikaika mai hoi oe i ka lima ikaika ole?
How have you given help to him who has no power! how have you been the salvation of the arm which has no strength!
3 Pehea la oe i ao mai ai i ka mea ike ole? A hoike nui mai hoi oe i ka noeau?
How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge!
4 Ia wai anei oe i hai aku i na olelo? Nowai ka hanu i puka ae mai ou mai la?
To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you?
5 O na mea i make, ua haalulu lakou mai lalo mai, O na wai a me kolaila poe e noho ana.
The shades in the underworld are shaking; the waters and those living in them.
The underworld is uncovered before him, and Destruction has no veil. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ua hohola aku ia i ke kukuluakau maluna o ka neoneo, Ua kau aku i ka honua maluna o ka mea ole.
By his hand the north is stretched out in space, and the earth is hanging on nothing.
8 Ua hoopaa oia i na wai maloko o na ao ona, Aole i nahae ke ao malalo o lakou.
By him the waters are shut up in his thick clouds, and the cloud does not give way under them.
9 Ua uhi no ia i ke alo o kona nohoalii, Ua hohola aku i kona ao maluna ona.
By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it.
10 Ua hoopuni oia i na wai i ka palena, A hiki i kahi e pau ai ka malamalama iloko o ka pouli.
By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.
11 O na kia o ka lani ua haalulu, A weliweli hoi i kona papa ana mai.
The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words.
12 Ua hoomalielie oia i ke kai ma kona mana, A ma kona naauao, hahau iho ia i kona kiekie.
By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded.
13 Ma kona Uhane ua hoonani oia i na lani; Na kona lima i hana i ka nahesa e lele ana.
By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through.
14 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?
See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge.
