Job 40
1 And the Lord continued, and he said to Job:
OLELO mai hoi o Iehova ia Ioba, i mai la,
2 Will he who contends with God be so easily silenced? Certainly, he who argues with God must also respond to him.
O ka mea hoopaapaa i ka Mea mana, e ao mai anei ia ia ia? O ka mea e ao mai i ke Akua, nana no e ekemu mai.
3 Then Job answered the Lord, saying:
Alaila, olelo aku o Ioba ia Iehova, i aku la,
4 What could I possibly answer, since I have been speaking thoughtlessly? I will place my hand over my mouth.
Aia hoi, ua inoino wau; Heaha ka'u e ekemu aku ai ia oe? E kau aku au i kuu lima maluna o kuu waha.
5 One thing I have spoken, which I wish I had not said; and another, to which I will add no more.
Hookahi ka'u olelo ana, aka, aole au e ekemu hou; A elua hoi, aka, aole au e olelo hou aku.
6 But the Lord, answering Job out of the whirlwind, said:
Alaila olelo mai o Iehova ia Ioba mailoko mai o ka puahiohio, i mai la,
7 Gird your waist like a man. I will question you, and you must answer me.
E kakoo oe ano, me he kanaka la, i kou puhaka: E ninau aku au ia oe, a hoike mai oe ia'u.
8 Will you make my judgment null and void; and will you condemn me so that you may be justified?
E hoole anei hoi oe i ko'u pono? E hoahewa anei oe ia'u, i hoaponoia'i oe?
9 And do you have an arm like God, or a voice like thunder?
He lima anei kou e like me ko ke Akua? E hiki anei ia oe ke hoohekili me ka leo e like me kona?
10 Envelop yourself with splendor, and raise yourself up on high, and be glorious, and put on splendid garments.
E hoonani oe ano ia oe iho me ka hanohano a me ko kiekie; E hoaalu hoi ia oe iho i ka nani a me ka mahalo.
11 Scatter the arrogant with your wrath, and, when you see all the arrogant, humble them.
E hookuu aku oe i kou huhu ikaika: A nana aku i ka mea kiekie a pau, a hoohaahaa ia ia.
12 Look down upon each of the arrogant and confound them, and crush the impious in their place.
E nana aku i ka mea haaheo a pau, a e hookulou ia ia; A e hehi iho ilalo i ka poe hewa ma ko lakou wahi.
13 Hide them in the dust together and plunge their faces into the pit.
E hoonalo pu ia lakou iloko o ka lepo; E uhi i ko lakou maka i ka pouli.
14 Then I will confess that your right hand is able to save you.
Alaila e hooia aku au ia oe, E hiki no i kou lima akau ke hoola ia oe iho.
15 Behold, the behemoth, whom I created along with you, eats hay like an ox.
E nana ano i ka behemo, ka mea a'u i hana'i me oe; Ua ai no ia i ka weuweu e like me ka bipi.
16 His strength is in his lower back, and his power is in the center of his abdomen.
Aia hoi, ano, o kona ikaika ma kona puhaka, O kona mana hoi ma na wahi paa o kona opu.
17 He draws up his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs have been drawn together.
Ua kunini no ia i kona huelo me he laau kedera la, O na olona o kona uha ua ulana pu ia.
18 His bones are like pipes of brass; his cartilage is like plates of iron.
O kona mau iwi me na auka keleawe, O kona mau iwi, ua like me na auka hao.
19 He is the beginning of the ways of God, who made him; he will use him as his sword.
Oia ke pookela o na hana a ke Akua! O ka mea nana ia i hana, haawi no ia i pahikaua nana.
20 The mountains bring forth grass for him; all the beasts of the field will play there.
Ua hoohua mai na mauna i ka ai nana, A malaila na holoholona a pau o ke kula i paani ai.
21 He sleeps in the shadows, under the cover of branches, and in moist places.
Moe iho no ia malalo o na laau malu, Maloko o kahi nalo o ka ohe a me ke kiolepo.
22 The shadows cover his shadow; the willows of the brook will encircle him.
Uhi iho la na laau malu ia ia me ko lakou malu; A puni mai ia ia na wilou o ke kahawai.
23 Behold, he will drink a river and not be amazed, and he has confidence that the Jordan could flow into his mouth.
Aia hoi, huai mai ka muliwai, aole ia i holo aku, Noho malie no ia i ka wa i huai mai ai o Ioredane i kona waha.
24 He will seize him through his eyes, as if with a hook, and he will bore through his nostrils, as if with stakes.
Imua o kona mau maka e hopu anei kekahi ia ia? A e hoopuka aku i kona ihu i ka lou?
