Ioba 37
1 NO keia mea hoi haalulu kuu naau, A nauwe ae mai kona wahi aku.
Yea, at this, my heart quaketh, and starteth up out of its place.
2 E hoolohe pono i ka poha ana o kona leo, A me ka halulu e puka ana mai kona waha mai.
Hear! oh hear! the raging of his voice, A growling sound also, out of his mouth, goeth forth;
3 Malalo o ka lani a pau nana no ia i nou aku, A o kona malamalama i na welau o ka honua.
Under the whole heavens, he letteth it loose, His lightning also, unto the wings 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, roareth a voice, He thundereth with his voice of majesty, Nor will he hold them back, 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 with his voice, wonderfully, Doing great things, which we cannot know;
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, to the snow, he saith, Fall earthwards, —Also to the downpour of rain, yea the downpour of his mighty rains.
7 Hoopaa aku ia i ka lima o na kanaka a pau, I ike na kanaka a pau i kana haua.
On the hand of every man, he setteth a seal, that all men may take note of his doing.
8 A komo na holoholona iloko o na lua, A noho ma ko lakou mau wahi.
So then the wild-beast hath gone into covert, and, in its lairs, doth it remain.
9 Mai ke kukulu hema i hele mai ka puahiohio, A mai ke kukulu akau ke anu.
Out of a chamber cometh a storm-wind, and, out of the north, cold.
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, is given—frost, and, the breadth of waters, is congealed;
11 O ka wa malie hoi, ua kipaku ia i ke ao: Ua hoohehee kona malamalama i ka ohu:
Also, with moisture, burdeneth he the thick cloud, He disperseth his lightning-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.
Yea, the same, in circles, turneth itself to and fro, by his steering them to their work, whithersoever he commandeth them, over the face of the world, towards the earth.
13 Ina no ka laau hahau, ina no kona aina, Ina no ke aloha, nana no ia i hoopuka mai.
Whether, as a rod, or for his earth, or in lovingkindness, he causeth it to come.
14 E hoolohe mai oe, e Ioba, i keia; E ku malie, a e noonoo i na hana kupanaha a ke Akua.
Give thou ear unto this, O Job, Stay, and consider well the wonders 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?
Canst thou got to know of GOD’S giving charge over them, or of the causing of the lightning of his cloud to shine forth?
16 Ua ike anei i na kaupaona ana o na ao, I na hana kupanaha o ka mea hemolele i ka ike?
Canst thou get to know concerning the poisings of the thick cloud, the wonders of one who 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?
That thy garments should be hot when he quieteth the earth from the south?
18 E hiki anei ia oe me ia ke hohola aku i ke aouli, He ikaika, e like me ke aniani i hooheheeia?
Didst thou spread out, with him, the skies, strong as a molten mirror?
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.
Let us know what we shall say to him, We cannot set in order, 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 declared to him—that I would speak? Were any man to say aught, he might he destroyed?
21 Ano aole lakou i ike i ka malamalama alohilohi iloko o na ao; A hele ae la ka makani a hoomaemae ia lakou.
Yet, now, men see not the light, bright though it is in the skies, when, a wind, hath passed over, and cleansed them.
22 Mai ke kukulu akau ke alohilohi gula i hele mai ai; Aia i ke Akua ka nani weliweli.
Out of the north, a golden light cometh, Upon GOD, is fearful splendour:
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.
The Almighty, whom we have not fully found out, is great in vigour, —Neither, justice nor abounding righteousness, will he weaken.
24 A makau na kanaka ia ia; Aole ia e maliu mai i ka poe naauao a pau.
Therefore, do men revere him, He will not regard any who are wise in heart.
