Job 40

1 Moreover Yahweh answered Job,

OLELO mai hoi o Iehova ia Ioba, i mai la,

2 “Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it.”

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 Yahweh,

Alaila, olelo aku o Ioba ia Iehova, i aku la,

4 “Behold, I am of small account. What will I answer you? I lay my hand on 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 I have spoken once, and I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.”

Hookahi ka'u olelo ana, aka, aole au e ekemu hou; A elua hoi, aka, aole au e olelo hou aku.

6 Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind:

Alaila olelo mai o Iehova ia Ioba mailoko mai o ka puahiohio, i mai la,

7 “Now brace yourself like a man. I will question you, and you will 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 even annul my judgment? Will you condemn me, 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 Or do you have an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him?

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 “Now deck yourself with excellency and dignity. Array yourself with honor and majesty.

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 Pour out the fury of your anger. Look at everyone who is proud, and bring him low.

E hookuu aku oe i kou huhu ikaika: A nana aku i ka mea kiekie a pau, a hoohaahaa ia ia.

12 Look at everyone who is proud, and humble him. Crush the wicked 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. Bind their faces in the hidden place.

E hoonalo pu ia lakou iloko o ka lepo; E uhi i ko lakou maka i ka pouli.

14 Then I will also admit to you that your own right hand can save you.

Alaila e hooia aku au ia oe, E hiki no i kou lima akau ke hoola ia oe iho.

15 “See now behemoth, which I made as well as you. He eats grass as 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 Look now, his strength is in his thighs. His force is in the muscles of his belly.

Aia hoi, ano, o kona ikaika ma kona puhaka, O kona mana hoi ma na wahi paa o kona opu.

17 He moves his tail like a cedar. The sinews of his thighs are knit 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 tubes of bronze. His limbs are like bars of iron.

O kona mau iwi me na auka keleawe, O kona mau iwi, ua like me na auka hao.

19 He is the chief of the ways of God. He who made him gives him 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 Surely the mountains produce food for him, where all the animals of the field play.

Ua hoohua mai na mauna i ka ai nana, A malaila na holoholona a pau o ke kula i paani ai.

21 He lies under the lotus trees, in the covert of the reed, and the marsh.

Moe iho no ia malalo o na laau malu, Maloko o kahi nalo o ka ohe a me ke kiolepo.

22 The lotuses cover him with their shade. The willows of the brook surround 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, if a river overflows, he doesn’t tremble. He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to 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 Shall any take him when he is on the watch, or pierce through his nose with a snare?

Imua o kona mau maka e hopu anei kekahi ia ia? A e hoopuka aku i kona ihu i ka lou?
