Job 26
Maori Bible
26 Ano ra ko Hopa; i mea ia.
2 He hapai pehea tau i te kahakore? He whakaora pehea tau i te ringa ngoikore?
3 Ka tae tau whakatakoto whakaaro ma te whakaarokore! Te nui o tau whakaatu tikanga!
4 I puaki ki a wai au kupu? No wai te wairua i puta mai ra i a koe?
5 E wiri ana nga tupapaku i raro i te wai, me nga mea ano e noho ana i reira.
6 E takoto kau ana te reinga i tona aroaro, kahore hoki he hipoki mo te whakangaro.
7 E horahia atu ana e ia te raki ki runga ki te wahi takoto kau, whakairihia ana e ia te whenua ki runga ki te kahore noa iho.
8 E takaia ana e ia nga wai ki roto ki ana kapua matotoru; a kahore te kapua e pakaru i raro i a ratou.
9 E kaiponuhia ana e ia a mua o tona torona, horahia ana e ia tana kapua ki runga.
10 He mea karapoti nana nga wai, rohe rawa, a tae noa ki te mutunga mai o te marama me te pouri.
11 Wiri ana nga pou o te rangi, miharo ana ki tana whakatupehupehu.
12 Ko tona kaha hei whakakorikori i te moana, maru ana te whakakake i tona matauranga.
13 Na tona wairua i whakapaipai nga rangi; na tona ringa i wero te nakahi tere.
14 Na, he pito enei no ona ara; ano te iti o te wahi ona e rangona ana! Ko te whatitiri ia o tona kaha, ko wai ka matau?
Job 26
New King James Version
Job: Man’s Frailty and God’s Majesty
26 But Job answered and said:
2 “How have you helped him who is without power?
How have you saved the arm that has no strength?
3 How have you counseled one who has no wisdom?
And how have you declared sound advice to many?
4 To whom have you uttered words?
And whose spirit came from you?
5 “The dead tremble,
Those under the waters and those inhabiting them.
6 (A)Sheol is naked before Him,
And Destruction has no covering.
7 (B)He stretches out the north over empty space;
He hangs the earth on nothing.
8 (C)He binds up the water in His thick clouds,
Yet the clouds [a]are not broken under it.
9 He covers the face of His throne,
And spreads His cloud over it.
10 (D)He drew a circular horizon on the face of the waters,
At the boundary of light and darkness.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble,
And are [b]astonished at His rebuke.
12 (E)He stirs up the sea with His power,
And by His understanding He breaks up [c]the storm.
13 (F)By His Spirit He adorned the heavens;
His hand pierced (G)the fleeing serpent.
14 Indeed these are the mere edges of His ways,
And how small a whisper we hear of Him!
But the thunder of His power who can understand?”
