Ioba 26
1 A LAILA olelo mai la o Ioba, i mai la,
Job replied,
2 Pehea la oe i kokua mai ai i ka mea nawaliwali? A hooikaika mai hoi oe i ka lima ikaika ole?
“How helpful you have been to this feeble man that I am. How supportive you have been to the weak.
3 Pehea la oe i ao mai ai i ka mea ike ole? A hoike nui mai hoi oe i ka noeau?
What good advice you have given to this ignorant man, demonstrating you have so much wisdom.
4 Ia wai anei oe i hai aku i na olelo? Nowai ka hanu i puka ae mai ou mai la?
Who helped you speak these words? Who inspired you to say such things?
5 O na mea i make, ua haalulu lakou mai lalo mai, O na wai a me kolaila poe e noho ana.
The dead tremble, those beneath the waters.
Sheol lies naked before God, Abaddon is uncovered. (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.
He stretches the northern sky over empty space; he hangs the world on nothing.
8 Ua hoopaa oia i na wai maloko o na ao ona, Aole i nahae ke ao malalo o lakou.
He gathers the rain in his storm clouds which do not break under the weight.
9 Ua uhi no ia i ke alo o kona nohoalii, Ua hohola aku i kona ao maluna ona.
He veils his throne; covering it with his clouds.
10 Ua hoopuni oia i na wai i ka palena, A hiki i kahi e pau ai ka malamalama iloko o ka pouli.
On the surface of the waters he set a boundary; he set a limit dividing light from darkness.
11 O na kia o ka lani ua haalulu, A weliweli hoi i kona papa ana mai.
The pillars of heaven tremble; they shake with fear at his rebuke.
12 Ua hoomalielie oia i ke kai ma kona mana, A ma kona naauao, hahau iho ia i kona kiekie.
He calmed the sea with his power; because he knew what to do he crushed Rahab.
13 Ma kona Uhane ua hoonani oia i na lani; Na kona lima i hana i ka nahesa e lele ana.
The breath of his voice made the heavens beautiful; with his hand he pierced the gliding serpent.
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?
This is just a little of all he does—what we hear of him is hardly a whisper, so who can understand his thunderous power?”
