< Job 39 >

1 Knowest thou the time when the wilde goates bring foorth yong? or doest thou marke when the hindes doe calue?
E mohiotia ana ranei e koe te wa e whanau ai nga koati mohoao o te kamaka? E kitea putia ana ranei e koe te wa e whakamamae ai nga hata?
2 Canst thou nomber the moneths that they fulfill? or knowest thou the time when they bring foorth?
E taua ano ranei e koe nga marama e rite ana i a ratou? E mohio ana ranei koe ki te wa e whanau ai ratou?
3 They bow them selues: they bruise their yong and cast out their sorowes.
Tuohu ana ratou, kua puta mai a ratou kuao, akiritia mai ana e ratou o ratou mea whakapouri.
4 Yet their yong waxe fatte, and growe vp with corne: they goe foorth and returne not vnto them.
E pai ana te ahua o a ratou kuao, e tupu ana i te parae; ka haere atu ratou, a kahore e hoki mai ano.
5 Who hath set the wilde asse at libertie? or who hath loosed the bondes of the wilde asse?
Na wai i tuku te kaihe mohoao kia haere noa atu; nga here o te kaihe mohoao, na wai i wewete?
6 It is I which haue made the wildernesse his house, and the salt places his dwellings.
Ko te whare i whakaritea nei e ahau mona, ko te koraha: ko ona nohoanga ko te wahi titiohea.
7 He derideth the multitude of the citie: he heareth not the crie of the driuer.
Whakahaweatia iho e ia te ngangau o te pa; e kore ia e rongo ki te reo o te kaiakiaki.
8 He seeketh out the mountaine for his pasture, and searcheth after euery greene thing.
Ko tona wahi kai kei te tuahiwi o nga maunga, e rapua ana e ia nga mea matomato katoa.
9 Will the vnicorne serue thee? or will he tary by thy cribbe?
E pai ranei te unikanga kia mahi ki a koe? Kei tau takotoranga kai ranei he moenga mona?
10 Canst thou binde the vnicorne with his band to labour in the furrowe? or will he plowe the valleyes after thee?
E herea ranei e koe te unikanga ki tona taura i te awa parautanga? E rakarakatia ranei e ia nga raorao me tana whai ano i a koe?
11 Wilt thou trust in him, because his strength is great, and cast off thy labour vnto him?
E whakawhirinaki atu ranei koe ki a ia, no te mea e nui ana tona kaha? E whakarerea atu ranei e koe tau mahi mana?
12 Wilt thou beleeue him, that he will bring home thy seede, and gather it vnto thy barne?
E whakapono atu ranei koe mana au hua e whakahoki mai; mana e kohikohi mai ki tau patunga witi?
13 Hast thou giuen the pleasant wings vnto the peacockes? or winges and feathers vnto the ostriche?
E whakamanamana ana te parirau o te otereti; otira he atawhai ano ranei ta ona hou, ta ona raukura?
14 Which leaueth his egges in the earth, and maketh them hote in the dust,
E whakarerea ana e ia ona hua ki te whenua, whakamahanatia iho e ia ki te puehu,
15 And forgetteth that the foote might scatter the, or that the wild beast might breake the.
Wareware ake ia tera pea e pepe i te waewae, e takahia ranei e te kirehe o te parae.
16 He sheweth himselfe cruell vnto his yong ones, as they were not his, and is without feare, as if he trauailed in vaine.
He mea pakeke ia ki ana pi me te mea ehara i a ia: ahakoa ka maumauria tana mahi, kahore ona manawapa;
17 For God had depriued him of wisedom, and hath giuen him no part of vnderstanding.
No te mea i whakakahoretia e te Atua he ngakau mahara mona, kihai hoki i homai he whakaaro ki a ia.
18 When time is, he mounteth on hie: he mocketh the horse and his rider.
I te wa e maranga ai ia ki runga, whakahaweatia iho e ia te hoiho raua ko tona kaieke.
19 Hast thou giuen the horse strength? or couered his necke with neying?
Nau ranei i hoatu tona kaha ki tae hoiho? Nau ranei tona kaki i whakakakahu ki te huruhuru?
20 Hast thou made him afraid as the grashopper? his strong neying is fearefull.
Nau ranei ia i mea kia pekepeke, kia pera me te mawhitiwhiti? He hanga whakawehi te kororia o tona whewhengu.
21 He diggeth in the valley, and reioyceth in his strength: he goeth foorth to meete the harnest man.
E hukari ana ia ia te raorao, me te koa ano ki tona kaha: tika tonu ia ki te hunga mau patu.
22 He mocketh at feare, and is not afraid, and turneth not backe from the sworde,
Whakahawea ana ia ki te wehi, kahore ona mataku; e kore ano ia e nunumi mai i te hoari.
23 Though the quiuer rattle against him, the glittering speare and the shield.
Papa ana te papa pere ki tona taha, te tao e rarapa ana, me te timata.
24 He swalloweth the ground for fearcenes and rage, and he beleeueth not that it is the noise of the trumpet.
E horomia ana e ia te whenua, me te ngangau me te riri; kahore ia i te whakapono ko te reo tera o te tetere.
25 He sayth among the trumpets, Ha, ha: hee smellleth the battell afarre off, and the noyse of the captaines, and the shouting.
Ka tangi ana te tetere ka mea ia, Ha, ha! I tawhiti ano ka hongia e ia te pakanga, te whatitiri o nga rangatira, me te hamama.
26 Shall the hauke flie by thy wisedome, stretching out his wings toward the South?
He mohio nou i rere ai te kahu, i roha ai i ona parirau, i anga ai whaka te tonga?
27 Doeth the eagle mount vp at thy commandement, or make his nest on hie?
Nau te kupu i kake ai te ekara? i hanga ai e ia tana ohanga ki te wahi tiketike?
28 Shee abideth and remaineth in the rocke, euen vpon the toppe of the rocke, and the tower.
Noho ana ia i runga i te kamaka, kei reira tona kainga, kei te kamaka keokeo, kei te pa kaha.
29 From thence she spieth for meate, and her eyes beholde afarre off.
A rapua ana e ia he kai i reira; e kite atu ana ona kanohi i tawhiti.
30 His young ones also sucke vp blood: and where the slaine are, there is she.
Horomititia ake ana hoki nga toto e ana pi; a ko te wahi i nga tupapaku, kei reira ano ia.
