Hopa 34
1 I korero ano hoki a Erihu, i mea,
Moreouer Elihu answered, and saide,
2 Whakarongo ki aku kupu, e te hunga whakaaro nui; kia whai taringa ki ahau, e te hunga mohio.
Heare my wordes, ye wise men, and hearken vnto me, ye that haue knowledge.
3 E whakamatau ana hoki te taringa i te kupu, e pera ana me ta te mangai ki te reka o te kai.
For the eare tryeth the words, as the mouth tasteth meate.
4 Ko ta tatou e whiriwhiri ai ma tatou ko te mea tika: kia mohiotia hoki e tatou, e tenei, e tenei, ko te aha te mea pai.
Let vs seeke iudgement among vs, and let vs knowe among our selues what is good.
5 Kua mea nei hoki a Hopa, He tika taku, a kua whakapeaua ketia e te Atua te whakawa moku:
For Iob hath saide, I am righteous, and God hath taken away my iudgement.
6 Ahakoa kei ahau te tika ka kiia ahau he tangata teka; e kore e mahu toku werohanga, ahakoa kahore oku he.
Should I lye in my right? my wound of the arrowe is grieuous without my sinne.
7 Ko wai te tangata e rite ki a Hopa, me te mea he wai te tawai e inumia ana e ia?
What man is like Iob, that drinketh scornfulnesse like water?
8 Kua uru nei ki te tira o nga kaimahi i te he, a e haere tahi ana me nga tangata kikino.
Which goeth in the companie of them that worke iniquitie, and walketh with wicked men?
9 Kua mea hoki ia, Kahore he painga ki te tangata ki te ahuareka atu ia ki te Atua.
For he hath saide, It profiteth a man nothing that he should walke with God.
10 No reira whakarongo mai ki ahau, e nga tangata ngakau mohio: e kore rawa te Atua e mahi i te kino; e kore rawa hoki te Kaha Rawa e mahi i te he.
Therefore hearken vnto me, ye men of wisedome, God forbid that wickednesse should be in God, and iniquitie in the Almightie.
11 Ka utua hoki e ia te tangata mo tana mahi, ka rite hoki ki to te tangata ara nga mea e whakawhiwhia e ia ki a ia.
For he will render vnto man according to his worke, and cause euery one to finde according to his way.
12 Tika rawa, e kore te Atua e kino, e kore ano hoki te Kaha Rawa e whakaputa ke i te whakawa.
And certainely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almightie peruert iudgement.
13 Na wai ia i mea hei kaitirotiro mo te whenua? Na wai hoki i whakatakoto nga tikanga mo te ao katoa?
Whome hath he appointed ouer the earth beside him selfe? or who hath placed the whole worlde?
14 Ki te anga mai tona ngakau ki te tangata, ki te kohia atu e ia ki a ia tona wairua me tona manawa;
If he set his heart vpon man, and gather vnto him selfe his spirit and his breath,
15 Ka hemo ngatahi nga kikokiko katoa, a ka hoki ano te tangata ki te puehu.
All flesh shall perish together, and man shall returne vnto dust.
16 Na ki te mea he ngakau mohio tou, whakarongo ki tenei; kia whai taringa mai ki te reo o aku kupu.
And if thou hast vnderstanding, heare this and hearken to the voyce of my wordes.
17 E whai kingitanga ranei tetahi kotahi e kino ana ki te tika? E whakakino ranei koe ki te tangata tika, kaha hoki?
Shal he that hateth iudgement, gouerne? and wilt thou iudge him wicked that is most iust?
18 E tau ana ranei te mea atu ki te kingi, He weriweri koe? ki nga rangatira ranei, He kino koutou?
Wilt thou say vnto a King, Thou art wicked? or to princes, Ye are vngodly?
19 Kia iti rawa iho ki a ia e kore nei e whakapai ki te kanohi o nga rangatira, e kore nei e hira ake tona pai ki te hunga whai rawa i nga rawakore? No te mea he mahi ratou katoa na ona ringa.
How much lesse to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, and regardeth not the rich, more then the poore? for they be all the worke of his handes.
20 Kihai i aha kua mate ratou, kua mate i waenganui po; ka wiri te iwi, ka pahemo atu, ka riro te hunga nunui, kahore hoki he ringa.
They shall die suddenly, and the people shalbe troubled at midnight, and they shall passe foorth and take away the mightie without hand.
21 Kei runga hoki i nga ara o te tangata ona kanohi, e kitea ana e ia ona hikoinga katoa.
For his eyes are vpon the wayes of man, and he seeth all his goings.
22 Kahore he pouri, kahore he atarangi o te mate e piri ai nga kaimahi i te kino.
There is no darkenesse nor shadowe of death, that the workers of iniquitie might be hid therein.
23 E kore hoki e nui atu i te tika te mea e whakawaha e ia ki te tangata, e haere ai ia ki te aroaro o te Atua ki te whakawa.
For he will not lay on man so much, that he should enter into iudgement with God.
24 Ka wawahia e ia nga tangata nunui, te mohiotia nga ara, a whakaturia ake etahi atu i muri i a ratou.
He shall breake the mightie without seeking, and shall set vp other in their stead.
25 Na e mohio ana ia ki a ratou mahi; a hurihia ake ratou e ia i te po, a mongamonga noa ratou.
Therefore shall he declare their works: he shall turne the night, and they shalbe destroyed.
26 He hunga kino ratou, pakia iho e ia i te tirohanga a te tangata;
He striketh them as wicked men in the places of the seers,
27 Mo ratou i tahuri ke i te whai i a ia, kihai hoki i whakaaro ki tetahi o ona ara:
Because they haue turned backe from him, and would not consider all his wayes:
28 Na ratou hoki i puta ai te tangi a te rawakore ki a ia, a rongo ana ia ki te tangi a te hunga e tukinotia ana.
So that they haue caused the voyce of the poore to come vnto him, and he hath heard the cry of the afflicted.
29 Ki te meinga e ia kia ata noho, ko wai hei whakararuraru? A ki te huna e ia tona kanohi, ko wai e kite i a ia? ahakoa i meatia ki te iwi, ki te tangata ranei, rite tonu.
And when he giueth quietnesse, who can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who can beholde him, whether it be vpon nations, or vpon a man onely?
30 Kore ake te whakaponokore e whai kingitanga, kore ake te iwi e mahangatia.
Because the hypocrite doeth reigne, and because the people are snared.
31 Kua mea atu ranei ki te Atua, Kua pehia ahau e te whiu, e kore ahau e mahi i te he a muri nei?
Surely it appertaineth vnto God to say, I haue pardoned, I will not destroy.
32 Ko te mea kihai i kitea e ahau mau e whakaatu mai ki ahau; ki te mea i mahi ahau i te he, ka mutu taku.
But if I see not, teach thou me: if I haue done wickedly, I will doe no more.
33 Kia rite ranei tana utu ki tau e mea ai, i whakakahoretia ai e koe? Mau te whiriwhiri, kahore maku: na mau e korero mai tau i mohio ai.
Wil he performe the thing through thee? for thou hast reproued it, because that thou hast chosen, and not I. now speake what thou knowest.
34 Ka korero mai nga tangata ngakau mahara ki ahau, ae ra, nga tangata whakaaro nui e whakarongo ana ki ahau:
Let men of vnderstanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken vnto me.
35 Kahore he matauranga o Hopa i a ia i korero ra, kahore hoki he mahara i roto i ana kupu.
Iob hath not spoken of knowledge, neyther were his wordes according to wisedome.
36 He pai me i whakamatauria a Hopa a te mutunga ra ano, mo ana kupu i whakahokia mai nei e ia, he mea i rite ki a nga tangata kikino.
I desire that Iob may be tryed, vnto the ende touching the answeres for wicked men.
37 E tapiritia ana hoki e ia te tutu ki runga ki tona hara, kei te pakipaki ia i ona ringa i waenganui i a tatou, a whakanuia ana e ia ana kupu kite Atua.
For he addeth rebellion vnto his sinne: he clappeth his handes among vs, and multiplieth his wordes against God.
