Hopa 33
1 Tena ra, whakarongo, e Hopa, ki aku korero, kia whai taringa ki aku kupu katoa.
And but hear please O Job words my and all words my give ear to!
2 Nana, kua puaki nei toku mangai, kei te korero toku arero i roto i toku mangai.
Here! please I open mouth my it speaks tongue my on palate my.
3 Ma aku kupu e whakapuaki te tika o toku ngakau; ka korero pono oku ngutu i ta ratou e matau ana.
[are] [the] uprightness of Heart my words my and [the] knowledge of lips my purified they speak.
4 He mea hanga ahau na te Wairua o te Atua, a na te manawa o te Kaha Rawa ahau i whai ora ai.
[the] spirit of God it has made me and [the] breath of [the] Almighty it gives life me.
5 Ki te taea e koe, whakahokia mai e koe he kupu ki ahau; whakatikaia au korero ki toku aroaro, e tu ki runga.
If you will be able respond to me arrange! before me take your stand!
6 Nana, ko toku anga ki te Atua he pena hoki i tau; he mea hanga nei ano hoki ahau ki te paru.
Here! I [am] like mouth your to God from clay I was nipped off also I.
7 Nana, e kore te wehi ki ahau e whakawehi i a koe; e kore ano hoki toku ringa e taimaha iho ki a koe.
Here! dread of me not it will terrify you and pressure my on you not it will be heavy.
8 He pono kua hakiri oku taringa ki au kupu, a kua rongo atu ahau i te reo o au kupu, e mea ana,
Surely you have spoken in ears my and [the] sound of words I heard.
9 He ma ahau, kahore oku he; he harakore ahau, kahore hoki he kino i roto i ahau:
[am] pure I not transgression [am] innocent I and not iniquity [belongs] to me.
10 Na e rapu ana ia i te take riri ki ahau, e kiia ana ahau e ia he hoariri nona;
Here! occasions on me he finds he considers me to an enemy of him.
11 E karapitia ana e ia oku waewae ki te rakau, e ata titiro ana ia ki oku hikoinga katoa.
He puts in the stock[s] feet my he watches all paths my.
12 Nana, maku e whawhati tau kupu, ehara tenei mea au i te mea tika; nui atu hoki te Atua i te tangata.
Here! this not you are in [the] right I will answer you for he is great God more than a human.
13 He aha koe i totohe ai ki a ia? E kore hoki e korerotia e ia te tikanga o tetahi o ana mea.
Why? against him have you contended that all words his not he answers.
14 Kotahi hoki, ae ra, e rua korerotanga a te Atua, otiia kahore e maharatia e te tangata.
For on one [occasion] he speaks God and on two [occasions] not anyone perceives it.
15 I te moe, i te putanga moemoea mai o te po, ina au iho te moe o te tangata, i nga moenga i runga i te takotoranga;
In a dream - a vision of [the] night when falls deep sleep on people in slumber on a bed.
16 Ko reira ia whakapuare ai i nga taringa o nga tangata, hiri ai hoki i te ako mo ratou;
Then he will uncover [the] ear of people and with discipline their he will seal.
17 Kia whakanekehia ai te tangata i tana whakaaro, kia hipokina ai hoki te whakapehapeha o te tangata;
To turn aside a person a deed and pride from a man he will cover.
18 E puritia ana e ia tona wairua kei tae ki te rua, tona ora kei riro i te hoari.
He will keep back life his from [the] pit and life his from passing away by missile.
19 E whiua ana hoki ia ki te mamae i runga i tona moenga, ki te ngau tonu hoki o ona wheua;
And he is chastened with pain on bed his (and [the] multitude of *Q(K)*) bones his [is] constant.
20 A whakarihariha ana tona ora ki te taro, tona wairua ki te kai whakaminamina.
And it loathes it life his bread and self his food of desire.
21 E honia ana ona kiko, a kore noa e kitea; a purero mai ana ona wheua kihai nei i kitea i mua.
It wastes away flesh his from sight (and they are laid bare *Q(K)*) bones his [which] not they were seen.
22 Heoi e whakatata ana tona wairua ki te rua, tona ora ki nga kaiwhakamate.
And it drew near to the pit self his and life his to [those who] bring death.
23 Ki te mea he karere tera kei a ia, he kaiwhakaatu tikanga tetahi i roto i te mano, hei whakaatu i tona tika ki te tangata:
If there on him - [is] an angel a mediator one of a thousand to tell to anyone uprightness his.
24 Na ka tohu tera i a ia, a ka mea, Whakaorangia ia kei heke ki te rua, kua kitea hoki e ahau he utu.
And he showed favor to him and he said deliver him from going down [the] pit I have found a ransom.
25 Ko tona kiri ka ngawari atu i to te tamaiti; ka hoki iho ia ki nga ra o tona tamarikitanga:
It grows fresh flesh his more than youth he returns to [the] days of youth his.
26 Ka inoi ia ki te Atua, a ka manako tera ki a ia; heoi ka kite ia i tona mata i runga i te koa: a ka utua e ia te tika o te tangata.
He prays to God - and he accepted him and he saw face his with a shout of joy and he restored to a person righteousness his.
27 E waiata ana ia i te aroaro o nga tangata, e mea ana, Kua hara ahau, whakaparoritia ake e ahau te tika, a kahore he pai ki ahau:
He watches - over people and he said I have sinned and upright[ness] I have perverted and not it was equal to me.
28 Kua whakaorangia e ia toku wairua kei riro ki te rua, a e kite toku wairua i te marama.
He has ransomed (self his *Q(K)*) from passing on in the pit (and life his *Q(K)*) on the light it will look.
29 Nana, e meatia ana enei mea katoa e te Atua, e tuaruatia ana, ae, e tuatorutia ana, ki te tangata,
Here! all these [things] he does God two times three [times] with a man.
30 Hei whakahoki mai i tona wairua i roto i te rua, kia whakamaramatia ai ki te marama o te ora.
To bring back self his from [the] pit to be lighted up by [the] light of life.
31 Kia whai whakaaro mai, e Hopa, whakarongo mai ki ahau: kati tau, a ka korero ahau.
Pay attention O Job listen to me keep quiet and I I will speak.
32 Ki te mea he kupu tau, utua mai taku: korero, ko taku hoki i pai ai kia whakatikaia tau.
If there [are] words respond to me speak for I desire to justify you.
33 Ki te kahore, whakarongo ki ahau: noho puku koe, a maku koe e whakaako ki te whakaaro nui.
If not you listen to me keep quiet and I will teach you wisdom.
