Job 11-13
Maori Bible
11 Ano ra ko Topara Naamati; i mea ia,
2 Kaua ranei hei whakautua te tini o nga kupu? A e whakatikaia ranei te tangata ngutu hohoro?
3 Ma au kupu whakapehapeha ranei e nohopuku ai nga tangata? A, ina tawai koe, kaua ranei he tangata e mea i a koe kia whakama?
4 E mea ana hoki koe, He tino tika taku whakaako, a he ma ahau ki ou kanohi.
5 Aue, me i korero te Atua, me i puaki mai ona ngutu ki te whakahe i a koe!
6 Me i whakaaturia mai e ia ki a koe nga mea ngaro o te matauranga, te huhua o nga ara o tana mahi! Na kia matau koe, he iti iho i ou he ta te Atua e tango nei i a koe.
7 Ina whakatakina e koe, e kitea ranei e koe te Atua? E tino kitea rawatia ranei e koe te Kaha Rawa?
8 Kei te rangi te tiketike; ka pehea koe? Hohonu iho i te reinga; ko te aha e mohiotia e koe?
9 Ko tona takoto, roa atu i te whenua, whanui atu i te moana.
10 Ki te mea ka haukotia e ia, ka herehera ranei, ka whakawakia ranei, ma wai ia e arai?
11 E mohio ana hoki ia ki nga tangata teka noa; a e kite ana ia i te he, ahakoa e kore e whakaaroa e ia.
12 Otiia ko te mea whakaarokore nei, ko te tangata kahore rawa ona hinengaro, ae ra, to te tangata rite i tona whanautanga kei te kuao kaihe mohoao.
13 Ki te whakatikaia e koe tou ngakau, a ka wherahia ou ringa ki a ia;
14 Ki te mea he he kei tou ringa, whakamataratia atu, kaua hoki te kino e noho ki ou tapenakara;
15 He pono ko reira ara ai tou mata, te ai he ira; ae, ka u hoki koe, te ai he wehi:
16 Tera hoki koe e wareware ki tou mauiui; a e maharatia e koe ano ko nga wai kua rere atu.
17 A ko tou ora tera e marama ke atu i to te poutumarotanga o ate ra; a ahakoa e pouri ano, ka rite ki te ata.
18 Ka tatu ou whakaaro, no te mea ka whai tumanakohanga atu; ae, ka rapu koe i tetahi taha ou, i tetahi taha, a ka takoto marire koe.
19 E takoto iho ano koe, te ai he kaiwhakawehi; he tokomaha ano hoki e whai kia paingia e koe.
20 Ka poko ia nga kanohi o te hunga kino, kore ake he rerenga mo ratou; ko ta ratou e tumanako atu ai ko te hemonga.
12 Na ka whakautu a Hopa, ka mea,
2 He tika rawa ko koutou nga tangata, a ka mate tahi atu te whakaaro nui me koutou.
3 Otira kei ahau ano hoki he ngakau, he pera ano me o koutou, kihai ahau i hoki iho i a koutou: ko wai ra te he ana ki enei mea?
4 Toku rite kei te tangata e waiho ana hei kata ma tona hoa, he tangata e karanga ana ki te Atua, a whakarongo mai ana tera ki a ia: e waiho ana te mea tika, te mea tapatahi, hei kata.
5 Kei roto i te whakaaro o te tangata, e tau ana tana noho, te whakahawea ki te aitua; e tauwhanga ana tena ki te hunga e paheke ana te waewae.
6 Kei te rangatira nga teneti o nga kaipahua, a noho kore wehi ana te hunga e whakapataritari ana ki te Atua; he ope noa mai hoki ta te Atua ki o ratou ringa.
7 Tena ra, ui atu ki nga kararehe, ma ratou koe e whakaako; ki nga manu o te rangi, ma ratou e korero ki a koe;
8 Korero atu ranei ki te whenua, a mana koe e whakaako; ka whakaaturia mai ano hoki ki a koe e nga ika o te moana.
9 Ko wai i kore te mohio ki enei mea katoa, he mea mahi tenei na te ringa o Ihowa?
10 Kei tona ringa nei te wairua o nga mea ora katoa, te manawa hoki o nga kikokiko tangata katoa.
11 He teka ianei e whakamatauria ana nga kupu e te taringa, pera hoki i te waha e whakarongo nei ki te reka o tana kai?
12 Kei nga kaumatua nga whakaaro nui; kei te roa o nga ra te matau.
13 Kei a ia te whakaaro nui me te kaha; kei a ia te tohutohu me te matauranga.
14 Nana, e wawahia ana e ia, kore iho e hanga ano; e kopia ana e ia te tangata, kahore rawa he putanga.
15 Nana, e unuhia atu ana e ia nga wai, a kua maroke; e tukua mai ana ano e ia, a ka hurihia te whenua.
16 Kei a ia te kaha me te mahi totika; ko te tangata tinihanga me te tangata e tinihangatia ana, nana.
17 E kahakina atu ana e ia nga kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro, he mea pahua; whakakuwaretia iho e ia nga kaiwhakawa.
18 Ko te mana o nga kingi, wetekina ake e ia, herea iho e ia o ratou hope ki te whitiki.
19 E arahina atu ana e ia nga tohunga, he mea pahua, hurihia iho e ia te hunga kaha.
20 Whakakorea ake e ia he kupu ma te hunga ngakau pono, riro ana i a ia nga mahara o nga kaumatua.
21 E ringihia ana e ia te whakahawea ki runga ki nga rangatira, e wetekina ana e ia te whitiki o te hunga kaha.
22 E hurahia mai ana e ia nga mea hohonu i roto i te pouri, whakaputaina mai ana e ia te atarangi o te mate ki te marama.
23 E whakanuia ana e ia nga iwi, a e huna ana e ia; e tohatohaina atu ana e ia nga iwi, a e whakawhaititia mai ana ano ratou e ia.
24 E tangohia atu ana e ia te ngakau o nga rangatira o te iwi o te whenua, a e meinga ana e ia kia kopikopiko noa i te wahi ururua kahore nei he ara.
25 Whawha noa ratou i roto i te pouri, kahore hoki he marama, a meinga ana ratou e ia kia hurori haere ano he tangata haurangi.
13 Nana, kua kitea katoatia tenei e toku kanohi, kua rongo toku taringa, kua mohio.
2 Ko ta koutou e mohio na, ko taku ano tena e mohio nei: kahore hoki ahau i hoki iho i a koutou.
3 Ina, e whai kupu ano ahau ki te Kaha Rawa: a e hiahia ana ki te korerorero ki te Atua.
4 Ko koutou ia, he hunga tito i te teka, he rata horihori noa koutou katoa.
5 Te pai na, me i mutu rawa a koutou korero! Ko to koutou whakaaro nui hoki tena.
6 Tena ra, whakarongo mai ki taku tautohe, maharatia nga whawhai a oku ngutu.
7 Me tautoko ta te Atua ki te kupu kino? me tautoko ranei tana ki te tinihanga?
8 Ka whakapai kanohi koia koutou ki a ia? Ma koutou ranei ta te Atua tautohe?
9 He pai ranei kia rapua ta koutou e ia? E maminga ranei koutou ki a ia, e pera me tetahi ka maminga nei ki te tangata?
10 He pono ka whakahe ia ki a koutou ki te whakapai puku koutou i te kanohi.
11 E kore ranei koutou e mataku ki tona nui? E kore ranei te wehi ki a ia e tau ki a koutou?
12 Ko a koutou pepeha nunui he whakatauki no te pungarehu, ko o koutou parepare he parepare paru.
13 Kati te korero, waiho noa iho ahau, kia korero ai ahau, ahakoa pa mai te aha ki ahau.
14 He aha oku kikokiko i ngaua ai e oku niho? He aha toku wairua i waiho ai e ahau i roto i toku ringa?
15 Ahakoa whakamate noa ia i ahau, ka tatari tonu ahau ki a ia: otiia ka mau tonu ahau ki oku ara i tona aroaro.
16 Ko tenei hoki hei oranga moku; e kore hoki te tangata atuakore e tae mai ki tona aroaro.
17 Ata whakarongo ki aku korero: kia anga mai o koutou taringa ki taku e whakapuaki nei.
18 Na kua takoto taku mo te whakawa; e mohio ana ahau he tika ahau.
19 Ko wai ia hei totohe ki ahau? Ka whakarongo puku hoki ahau aianei, a ka hemo ahau.
20 Engari kaua nga mea e rua e meatia mai ki ahau; katahi ahau ka kore e huna i ahau i tou mata.
21 Kia matara atu tou ringa ki tawhiti i ahau; a kaua ahau e whakawehia e te mataku ki a koe.
22 Ko reira, mau e karanga, a maku e whakao atu; maku ranei e korero, a mau e whakahoki kupu mai ki ahau.
23 Ka hia ra oku kino, oku hara? Meinga ahau kia matau ki toku he me toku hara.
24 He aha tou mata i huna ai e koe? He aha ahau i kiia ai e koe he hoariri?
25 E kapokapohia ranei e koe te pakawha e puhia haeretia ana? E whaia ranei e koe te papapa maroke?
26 Kei te tuhituhi na hoki koe i nga mea kawa moku, e mea ana hoki kia riro mai i ahau nga he o toku taitamarikitanga.
27 Karapitia iho e koe oku waewae ki te rakau, he mea tohu nau oku ara katoa, a he mea tuhi nau oku takahanga waewae tawhio noa:
28 Ahakoa toku rite kei te mea pirau, e memeha noa ana, kei te kakahu e kainga ana e te purehurehu.

Zophar
11 Then Zophar the Naamathite(A) replied:
2 “Are all these words to go unanswered?(B)
Is this talker to be vindicated?(C)
3 Will your idle talk(D) reduce others to silence?
Will no one rebuke you when you mock?(E)
4 You say to God, ‘My beliefs are flawless(F)
and I am pure(G) in your sight.’
5 Oh, how I wish that God would speak,(H)
that he would open his lips against you
6 and disclose to you the secrets of wisdom,(I)
for true wisdom has two sides.
Know this: God has even forgotten some of your sin.(J)
7 “Can you fathom(K) the mysteries of God?
Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?
8 They are higher(L) than the heavens(M) above—what can you do?
They are deeper than the depths below(N)—what can you know?(O)
9 Their measure(P) is longer than the earth
and wider than the sea.(Q)
10 “If he comes along and confines you in prison
and convenes a court, who can oppose him?(R)
11 Surely he recognizes deceivers;
and when he sees evil, does he not take note?(S)
12 But the witless can no more become wise
than a wild donkey’s colt(T) can be born human.[a](U)
13 “Yet if you devote your heart(V) to him
and stretch out your hands(W) to him,(X)
14 if you put away(Y) the sin that is in your hand
and allow no evil(Z) to dwell in your tent,(AA)
15 then, free of fault, you will lift up your face;(AB)
you will stand firm(AC) and without fear.(AD)
16 You will surely forget your trouble,(AE)
recalling it only as waters gone by.(AF)
17 Life will be brighter than noonday,(AG)
and darkness will become like morning.(AH)
18 You will be secure, because there is hope;
you will look about you and take your rest(AI) in safety.(AJ)
19 You will lie down, with no one to make you afraid,(AK)
and many will court your favor.(AL)
20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail,(AM)
and escape will elude them;(AN)
their hope will become a dying gasp.”(AO)
Job
12 Then Job replied:
2 “Doubtless you are the only people who matter,
and wisdom will die with you!(AP)
3 But I have a mind as well as you;
I am not inferior to you.
Who does not know all these things?(AQ)
4 “I have become a laughingstock(AR) to my friends,(AS)
though I called on God and he answered(AT)—
a mere laughingstock, though righteous and blameless!(AU)
5 Those who are at ease have contempt(AV) for misfortune
as the fate of those whose feet are slipping.(AW)
6 The tents of marauders are undisturbed,(AX)
and those who provoke God are secure(AY)—
those God has in his hand.[b]
7 “But ask the animals, and they will teach you,(AZ)
or the birds in the sky,(BA) and they will tell you;(BB)
8 or speak to the earth, and it will teach you,
or let the fish in the sea inform you.
9 Which of all these does not know(BC)
that the hand of the Lord has done this?(BD)
10 In his hand is the life(BE) of every creature
and the breath of all mankind.(BF)
11 Does not the ear test words
as the tongue tastes food?(BG)
12 Is not wisdom found among the aged?(BH)
Does not long life bring understanding?(BI)
13 “To God belong wisdom(BJ) and power;(BK)
counsel and understanding are his.(BL)
14 What he tears down(BM) cannot be rebuilt;(BN)
those he imprisons cannot be released.(BO)
15 If he holds back the waters,(BP) there is drought;(BQ)
if he lets them loose, they devastate the land.(BR)
16 To him belong strength and insight;(BS)
both deceived and deceiver are his.(BT)
17 He leads rulers away stripped(BU)
and makes fools of judges.(BV)
18 He takes off the shackles(BW) put on by kings
and ties a loincloth[c] around their waist.(BX)
19 He leads priests away stripped(BY)
and overthrows officials long established.(BZ)
20 He silences the lips of trusted advisers
and takes away the discernment of elders.(CA)
21 He pours contempt on nobles(CB)
and disarms the mighty.(CC)
22 He reveals the deep things of darkness(CD)
and brings utter darkness(CE) into the light.(CF)
23 He makes nations great, and destroys them;(CG)
he enlarges nations,(CH) and disperses them.(CI)
24 He deprives the leaders of the earth of their reason;(CJ)
he makes them wander in a trackless waste.(CK)
25 They grope in darkness with no light;(CL)
he makes them stagger like drunkards.(CM)
13 “My eyes have seen all this,(CN)
my ears have heard and understood it.
2 What you know, I also know;
I am not inferior to you.(CO)
3 But I desire to speak to the Almighty(CP)
and to argue my case with God.(CQ)
4 You, however, smear me with lies;(CR)
you are worthless physicians,(CS) all of you!(CT)
5 If only you would be altogether silent!(CU)
For you, that would be wisdom.(CV)
6 Hear now my argument;
listen to the pleas of my lips.(CW)
7 Will you speak wickedly on God’s behalf?
Will you speak deceitfully for him?(CX)
8 Will you show him partiality?(CY)
Will you argue the case for God?
9 Would it turn out well if he examined you?(CZ)
Could you deceive him as you might deceive a mortal?(DA)
10 He would surely call you to account
if you secretly showed partiality.(DB)
11 Would not his splendor(DC) terrify you?
Would not the dread of him fall on you?(DD)
12 Your maxims are proverbs of ashes;
your defenses are defenses of clay.(DE)
13 “Keep silent(DF) and let me speak;(DG)
then let come to me what may.(DH)
14 Why do I put myself in jeopardy
and take my life in my hands?(DI)
15 Though he slay me, yet will I hope(DJ) in him;(DK)
I will surely[d] defend my ways to his face.(DL)
16 Indeed, this will turn out for my deliverance,(DM)
for no godless(DN) person would dare come before him!(DO)
17 Listen carefully to what I say;(DP)
let my words ring in your ears.
18 Now that I have prepared my case,(DQ)
I know I will be vindicated.(DR)
19 Can anyone bring charges against me?(DS)
If so, I will be silent(DT) and die.(DU)
20 “Only grant me these two things, God,
and then I will not hide from you:
21 Withdraw your hand(DV) far from me,
and stop frightening me with your terrors.(DW)
22 Then summon me and I will answer,(DX)
or let me speak, and you reply to me.(DY)
23 How many wrongs and sins have I committed?(DZ)
Show me my offense and my sin.(EA)
24 Why do you hide your face(EB)
and consider me your enemy?(EC)
25 Will you torment(ED) a windblown leaf?(EE)
Will you chase(EF) after dry chaff?(EG)
26 For you write down bitter things against me
and make me reap the sins of my youth.(EH)
27 You fasten my feet in shackles;(EI)
you keep close watch on all my paths(EJ)
by putting marks on the soles of my feet.

9 Ko Haora ia kei te kupukupu tonu i te whakawehi, i te mate mo nga akonga a te Ariki, a haere ana ki te tohunga nui,
2 Kei te tono pukapuka i a ia ki nga whakaminenga i Ramahiku, ina kitea e ia tetahi no te huarahi, ahakoa tane, wahine ranei, kia mauria hereheretia mai e ia ki Hiruharama.
3 Na, i a ia e haere ana, ka whakatata ia ki Ramahiku; na, ohorere ana te whitinga mai ki a ia, huri noa, o tetahi marama no te rangi:
4 A hinga ana ia ki te whenua, ka rongo ake i tetahi reo e mea ana ki a ia, E Haora, e Haora, he aha tau e whakatoi nei i ahau?
5 Ano ra ko ia, Ko wai koe, e te Ariki? Ka mea ia, Ko Ihu ahau, e whakatoia nei e koe: ehara tau, te whana ki nga koikoi.
6 Na wiri ana ia, ihiihi ana, ka mea, E te Ariki, kia aha ahau? Ano ra ko te Ariki ki a ia, Whakatika, tomo atu ki te pa, a ka korerotia ki a koe tau e mea ai.
7 Na, ko nga tangata i haere tahi i a ia, tu reokore ana, rongo kau ana ki te reo, kahore ia i kite tangata.
8 Na ka whakatika ake a Haora i te whenua, a, i te tuwheratanga o ona kanohi, kihai rawa ia i kite aha: na arahina a ringatia ana ia e ratou, mauria ana ia ki Ramahiku.
9 A e toru ona ra e kore ana e kite, kihai hoki i kai, kihai i inu.
10 Na i Ramahiku tetahi akonga, ko Anania te ingoa; ka mea te Ariki ki a ia, he kite, E Anania. Ka mea tera, Tenei ahau, e te Ariki.
11 Ano ra ko te Ariki ki a ia, Whakatika, haere ki te ara e kiia nei ko Torotika, ka ui te whare o Hura mo tetahi ko Haora te ingoa, no Tarahu: na, kei te inoi ia.
12 A kua kite ia i tetahi tangata, ko Anania te ingoa, e tomo mai ana, e whakapa ana i ona ringa ki a ia, kia kite ai ia.
13 Otira ka whakahoki a Anania, E te Ariki, he tokomaha aku i rongo ai mo tenei tangata, ki te nui o te kino i mea ai ia ki tau hunga tapu i Hiruharama:
14 A tenei ano kei a ia he mana na nga tohunga nui, kia herea te hunga katoa e karanga ana ki tou ingoa.
15 Heoi ka mea te Ariki ki a ia, haere: no te mea he kaupapa whiriwhiri ia naku, hei mau i toku ingoa ki te aroaro o nga Tauiwi, o nga kingi, o nga tama hoki a Iharaira:
16 Ka whakakitea hoki e ahau ki a ia te nui o nga mea e mamae ai ia mo toku ingoa.
17 Na haere ana a Anania, tomo ana ki roto ki te whare; ka whakapa i ona ringa ki a ia, ka mea, E toku teina, e Haora, na te Ariki, na Ihu, i puta ra ki a koe i te ara i haere mai na koe, nana ahau i tono mai, kia kite ai koe, a kia ki ai hoki i te Wairua Tapu.
18 Na marere tonu iho etahi mea, ano he unahi, i ona kanohi, a kite ana ia, ka whakatika, ka iriiria.
19 Na ka kai ia, ka whai kaha. Na noho ana a Haora ki nga akonga i Ramahiku mo etahi ra.
20 A reira tonu kauwhautia ana e ia a te Karaiti i roto i nga whare karakia, ko te Tama ia a te Atua.
21 A miharo ana te hunga katoa i rongo, ka mea, Ehara ianei tenei i te kaitukino o te hunga i karanga ki tenei ingoa i Hiruharama? a, ko te mea ano tenei i haere mai ai ia, kia herea ratou, kia arahina ki nga tohunga nui?

New International Version
Saul’s Conversion(A)
9 Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples.(B) He went to the high priest 2 and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus,(C) so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way,(D) whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem. 3 As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.(E) 4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice(F) say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”
5 “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked.
“I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. 6 “Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”(G)
7 The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound(H) but did not see anyone.(I) 8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing.(J) So they led him by the hand into Damascus. 9 For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.
10 In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord called to him in a vision,(K) “Ananias!”
“Yes, Lord,” he answered.
11 The Lord told him, “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus(L) named Saul, for he is praying. 12 In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on(M) him to restore his sight.”
13 “Lord,” Ananias answered, “I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your holy people(N) in Jerusalem.(O) 14 And he has come here with authority from the chief priests(P) to arrest all who call on your name.”(Q)
15 But the Lord said to Ananias, “Go! This man is my chosen instrument(R) to proclaim my name to the Gentiles(S) and their kings(T) and to the people of Israel. 16 I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.”(U)
17 Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on(V) Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”(W) 18 Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized,(X) 19 and after taking some food, he regained his strength.
Saul in Damascus and Jerusalem
Saul spent several days with the disciples(Y) in Damascus.(Z) 20 At once he began to preach in the synagogues(AA) that Jesus is the Son of God.(AB) 21 All those who heard him were astonished and asked, “Isn’t he the man who raised havoc in Jerusalem among those who call on this name?(AC) And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?”(AD)
