Hopa 12
1 Na ka whakautu a Hopa, ka mea,
And he answered Job and he said.
2 He tika rawa ko koutou nga tangata, a ka mate tahi atu te whakaaro nui me koutou.
Truly that you [are the] people and with you it will die wisdom.
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?
Also [belongs] to me a heart - like you not [am] falling I more than you and with whom? [are] there not like these [things].
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.
A laughingstock to friend his - I am [one who] called to God and he answered him [is] a laughingstock a righteous [person] a blameless [person].
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.
[belongs] to Disaster contempt to [the] thought of [one] at ease a push [belongs] to [those who] are sliding of foot.
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.
They are at peace [the] tents - of destroyers and securiti [belong] to provokers of God to [those] whom he has brought God in hand his.
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;
And but ask please [the] animals so it may teach you and [the] bird[s] of the heavens so it may tell to you.
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.
Or complain to the earth so it may teach you and they may recount to you [the] fish of the sea.
9 Ko wai i kore te mohio ki enei mea katoa, he mea mahi tenei na te ringa o Ihowa?
Who? not does it know among all these for [the] hand of Yahweh it has done this.
10 Kei tona ringa nei te wairua o nga mea ora katoa, te manawa hoki o nga kikokiko tangata katoa.
[he] whom [is] in Hand his [the] life of every living [thing] and [the] breath of all flesh of humankind.
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?
¿ Not an ear words does it test and a palate food it tastes itself.
12 Kei nga kaumatua nga whakaaro nui; kei te roa o nga ra te matau.
[is] with Aged [people] wisdom and [is with] length of days understanding.
13 Kei a ia te whakaaro nui me te kaha; kei a ia te tohutohu me te matauranga.
[are] with Him wisdom and might [belong] to him counsel and understanding.
14 Nana, e wawahia ana e ia, kore iho e hanga ano; e kopia ana e ia te tangata, kahore rawa he putanga.
There! he tears down and not it will be rebuilt he shuts on a person and not it will be opened.
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.
There! he holds back the waters so they may be dry and he lets loose them and they may devastate [the] earth.
16 Kei a ia te kaha me te mahi totika; ko te tangata tinihanga me te tangata e tinihangatia ana, nana.
[are] with Him strength and sound wisdom [belong] to him [one who] goes astray and [one who] leads astray.
17 E kahakina atu ana e ia nga kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro, he mea pahua; whakakuwaretia iho e ia nga kaiwhakawa.
[he is] leading away Counselors barefoot and judges he makes look foolish.
18 Ko te mana o nga kingi, wetekina ake e ia, herea iho e ia o ratou hope ki te whitiki.
[the] correction of Kings he loosens and he bound a loincloth on loins their.
19 E arahina atu ana e ia nga tohunga, he mea pahua, hurihia iho e ia te hunga kaha.
[he is] leading away Priests barefoot and [people] long established he overturns.
20 Whakakorea ake e ia he kupu ma te hunga ngakau pono, riro ana i a ia nga mahara o nga kaumatua.
[he is] removing A lip of trusted [ones] and [the] discernment of elders he takes away.
21 E ringihia ana e ia te whakahawea ki runga ki nga rangatira, e wetekina ana e ia te whitiki o te hunga kaha.
[he is] pouring Contempt on noble [people] and [the] belt of strong people he loosens.
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.
[he is] revealing Unfathomable [things] from darkness and he brought out to the light deep darkness.
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.
[he is] making great the Nations and he destroyed them [he is] spreading out the nations and he led them.
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.
[he is] removing [the] heart of [the] leaders of [the] people of The earth and he made wander them in a wasteland not a path.
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.
They grope darkness and not light and he made wander them like drunkard.
