Job 3

Maori (Paipera Tapu 2012)

← Chapter 2 Jump to: Chapter 4 →

1I muri i tēnei, ka puaki te māngai o Hopa, ā, ka kangā e ia tōna rā.

2Nā, ka oho a Hopa, ka mea:

3“Kia ngaro te rā i whānau ai ahau, te pō, i kōrerotia ai, ‘He tamāroa kei roto i te kōpū.’

4Waiho taua rā mō te pōuri; kaua e tirohia iho e te Atua i runga; kaua hoki e whitingia e te mārama.

5Kia poke ia i te pōuri, i te ātārangi hoki o te mate; kia tauria iho e te kapua; kia whakawehia anō hoki e te whakapōuritanga o te rā.

6Nā, ko taua pō – kia mau pū i te pōuri kerekere; kei honoa ki ngā rā o te tau; kei huihuia atu ina taua ngā marama.

7Nanā, kia mokemoke taua pō, kaua te reo koa e uru ki roto.

8Kia kangā hoki e te hunga kanga i te rā, e te hunga mōhio ki te whakaara rewiatana.

9Kia pōuri ngā whetū o tōna kākarauritanga; kia tatari ki te mārama, ā, kāhore noa iho; kei kite hoki i te tākiritanga ata –

10mōna kīhai i tūtaki i ngā tatau o te kōpū o tōku whaea, kīhai i huna i te māuiui kei kitea e ahau.

11“He aha ahau tē mate ai i te kōpū? He aha tē hemo ai i tōku putanga mai i te kōpū?

12He aha i rite wawe ai ngā turi mōku, me ngā ū hei ngote māku?

13Me i pēnā, kua āta takoto ahau, te ai he whakaohooho; moe ana ahau; kātahi ahau ka whai okiokinga,

14i roto i ngā kīngi, i ngā kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro o te whenua i hanga nei i ngā wāhi mokemoke mō rātou,

15i roto rānei i ngā rangatira whai kōura, ō rātou nei whare kī tonu i te hiriwa.

16Kua kāhore noa iho rānei, kua pērā me te materoto e ngaro nei me ngā kōhungahunga kāhore nei e kite i te mārama.

17Mutu ake i reira te whakararuraru a te hunga kino; okioki ana i reira, te hunga kua māuiui ngā uaua.

18Āta noho ana ngā herehere i reira tē rongo i te reo o te kaitūkino.

19Kei reira te iti, te rahi, kāhore hoki he rangatira o te pononga.

20“He aha te mārama i hōmai ai ki te tangata kei roto nei i te mate, te ora ki te tangata kua kawa te wairua?

21E kōingo nei ki te mate, heoi kāhore noa iho; e keri ana kia taea ia, nui atu i te keri i ngā taonga huna.

22Hari pū rātou, koa ana, ina kitea te urupā.

23He aha anō te mārama i hōmai ai ki te tangata kua huna nei tōna ara, kua oti nei te tūtakitaki mai e te Atua?

24Kīanō hoki ahau i kai, kua tae mai tāku mapu; ānō he wai ōku hāmama e ringihia ana.

25Nō te mea kua tae mai ki ahau te mea whakawehi e wehi nei ahau; ko tāku e pāwera nei kua pā ki ahau.

26Kāhore ōku hūmārie, kāhore ōku āta noho, ehara i te mea e okioki ana; nā, kua puta te raruraru.”
