Ioba 37
1 NO keia mea hoi haalulu kuu naau, A nauwe ae mai kona wahi aku.
At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.
2 E hoolohe pono i ka poha ana o kona leo, A me ka halulu e puka ana mai kona waha mai.
Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound [that] goeth out of his mouth.
3 Malalo o ka lani a pau nana no ia i nou aku, A o kona malamalama i na welau o ka honua.
He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
4 Mahope o ia mea, poha mai ka leo; Hoohekili mai ia me kona leo mana; Aole ia e hoopaa ia lakou i loheia'i kona leo.
After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
5 Hoohekili kupanaha mai la ke Akua me kona leo; Hana no ia i na mea nui, aole e ike maopopo ia.
God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
6 No ka mea, ua i aku ia i ka hau, E kau ma ka honua, A i ka ua liilii, a me ka ua nui o kona ikaika.
For he saith to the snow, Be thou [on] the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
7 Hoopaa aku ia i ka lima o na kanaka a pau, I ike na kanaka a pau i kana haua.
He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
8 A komo na holoholona iloko o na lua, A noho ma ko lakou mau wahi.
Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
9 Mai ke kukulu hema i hele mai ka puahiohio, A mai ke kukulu akau ke anu.
Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.
10 Mai ka hanu o ke Akua i haawiia mai ka wai paa: A o ka palahalaha o na wai, ua hoopaaia.
By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
11 O ka wa malie hoi, ua kipaku ia i ke ao: Ua hoohehee kona malamalama i ka ohu:
Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:
12 A ua hoohuliia'ku ia a puni ma kona manao; I hana aku ai lakou i na mea a pau ana i kauoha mai ai, Ma ke alo o ka honua a puni.
And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.
13 Ina no ka laau hahau, ina no kona aina, Ina no ke aloha, nana no ia i hoopuka mai.
He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
14 E hoolohe mai oe, e Ioba, i keia; E ku malie, a e noonoo i na hana kupanaha a ke Akua.
Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Ua ike anei oe i ka hooponopono ana o ke Akua ia lakou, A hoopuka mai i ka malamalama o kona ao?
Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
16 Ua ike anei i na kaupaona ana o na ao, I na hana kupanaha o ka mea hemolele i ka ike?
Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
17 A pehea hoi i mahana ai kou kapa, I ka wa i hoomalie mai ai oia i ka aina i ka makani kukulu hema?
How thy garments [are] warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south [wind]?
18 E hiki anei ia oe me ia ke hohola aku i ke aouli, He ikaika, e like me ke aniani i hooheheeia?
Hast thou with him spread out the sky, [which is] strong, [and] as a molten looking glass?
19 E hoike mai oe ia makou i ka mea a makou e olelo aku ai ia ia; Aole makou e olelo aku, no ka pouli.
Teach us what we shall say unto him; [for] we cannot order [our speech] by reason of darkness.
20 E haiia aku anei ia ia, ke olelo aku au? Ina e olelo aku ke kanaka, e aleia auanei oia.
Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.
21 Ano aole lakou i ike i ka malamalama alohilohi iloko o na ao; A hele ae la ka makani a hoomaemae ia lakou.
And now [men] see not the bright light which [is] in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
22 Mai ke kukulu akau ke alohilohi gula i hele mai ai; Aia i ke Akua ka nani weliweli.
Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God [is] terrible majesty.
23 O ka Mea mana, aole e loaa ia kakou ia; Ua hoonui i ka ikaika, a i ka pono, a ua nui hoi i ka lokomaikai; Aole ia e hookaumaha.
[Touching] the Almighty, we cannot find him out: [he is] excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.
24 A makau na kanaka ia ia; Aole ia e maliu mai i ka poe naauao a pau.
Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any [that are] wise of heart.
