Job 21
Maori Bible
21 Ano ra ko Hopa; i mea ia,
2 Ata whakarongo mai ki taku kupu, a hei tenei he kupu whakamarie mai ma koutou.
3 Tukua ahau, a ka korero hoki ahau; a ka mutu aku korero, haere tonu ta koutou tawai.
4 Ahau nei, ki te tangata koia taku amuamu? A he aha ahau te manawanui ai?
5 Titiro mai ki ahau, miharo ai; kopania atu te ringa ki te mangai.
6 Mahara kau ahau, ka wehi, mau pu te wehi o oku kikokiko.
7 He aha te hunga kino i ora ai, i koroheke ai, ae, i marohirohi ai to ratou kaha?
8 Pumau tonu o ratou uri ki to ratou taha ki to ratou aroaro, a ko a ratou whanau kei ta ratou tirohanga atu.
9 O ratou whare kei runga i te rangimarie, kahore he wehi, kahore hoki a te Atua patu ki a ratou.
10 E kaha ana tana puru ki te ekeeke, kahore hoki e he; ka whanau tana kau, kahore hoki he whakatahe.
11 E tukua mai ana e ratou a ratou kohungahunga ano he kahui hipi, e pekepeke ana a ratou tamariki.
12 He hunga hapai ratou i te timipera, i te hapa, e koa ana ki te tangi o te okana.
13 O ratou ra pau tonu i runga i te ahuareka, kitea rawatia ake kua heke ki te po.
14 Koia ratou i mea ai ki te Atua, Mawehe atu i a matou; kahore hoki o matou hiahia kia matau ki ou ara.
15 He aha ra te Runga Rawa e mahi ai matou ki a ia? He aha hoki te rawa ki a matou ki te inoi ki a ia?
16 Nana, kahore he pai mo ratou i o ratou ringa ake: matara atu i ahau te whakaaro o te hunga kino.
17 Pehea te maha o nga matenga o te rama a te hunga kino? O nga panga mai ano hoki o to ratou aitua ki a ratou? O te tuwhanga mai a te Atua i nga mamae i a ia e riri ana?
18 E rite ai ratou ki te kakau witi i mua i te hau, ki te papapa e kahakina atu ana e te paroro?
19 E mea ana koutou, E rongoatia ana e te Atua tona kino hei mea mo ana tamariki. Mana e utu tera ki a ia tonu, kia mohio ai ia.
20 Tukua kia kite ona ake kanohi i tona hunanga, a tukua ia kia inu i te riri o te Kaha Rawa.
21 He aha hoki tana manako ki tona whare i muri i a ia? ka poroa hoki ona marama i waenga?
22 E whakaako ianei tetahi i te Atua ki te matauranga? Ko te kaiwhakawa hoki ia mo te hunga whakakake.
23 Tenei tangata, mate iho ia, pakari rawa ano hoki ona kaha, ata takoto ana ana mea katoa, kahore hoki he raruraru.
24 Ki tonu ona u i te waiu, a e makuku ana ona wheua i te hinu.
25 Mate iho hoki tera tangata, kawa tonu tona wairua, kahore hoki he pai hei kai mana.
26 Ka takoto ngatahi raua ki te puehu, a ko te iro hei hipoki mo raua.
27 Nana, e mohio ana ahau ki o koutou whakaaro, ki ta koutou ngarahu nanakia ano hoki moku.
28 E ki ana hoki koutou, Kei hea te whare o te rangatira? Kei hea hoki te teneti i noho ai te hunga kino?
29 Kahore ianei koutou i ui ki te hunga e haere atu ana i te ara? Kahore ranei koutou i mohio ki a ratou tohu?
30 Kei te rongoa nei hoki te tangata kono mo te ra o te whakangaro; ka whakaputaina ratou i te ra o te riri.
31 Ko wai e whakaatu i tona ara ki tona aroaro? Ko wai hoki hei hoatu i te utu mo tana mahi ki a ia?
32 Heoi ka kawea ia ki te urupa; kei te puranga he wahi mona.
33 Ka reka ki a ia nga pokuru o te awaawa, ka whai mai ano hoki nga tangata katoa i a ia; e kore nei hoki e taea te tatau te hunga i mua i a ia.
34 He pehea ra ta koutou whakamarie tinihanga i ahau, e toe na hoki te he i roto i a koutou kupu e whakahoki mai na?

Job
21 Then Job replied:
2 “Listen carefully to my words;(A)
let this be the consolation you give me.(B)
3 Bear with me while I speak,
and after I have spoken, mock on.(C)
4 “Is my complaint(D) directed to a human being?
Why should I not be impatient?(E)
5 Look at me and be appalled;
clap your hand over your mouth.(F)
6 When I think about this, I am terrified;(G)
trembling seizes my body.(H)
7 Why do the wicked live on,
growing old and increasing in power?(I)
8 They see their children established around them,
their offspring before their eyes.(J)
9 Their homes are safe and free from fear;(K)
the rod of God is not on them.(L)
10 Their bulls never fail to breed;
their cows calve and do not miscarry.(M)
11 They send forth their children as a flock;(N)
their little ones dance about.
12 They sing to the music of timbrel and lyre;(O)
they make merry to the sound of the pipe.(P)
13 They spend their years in prosperity(Q)
and go down to the grave(R) in peace.[a](S)
14 Yet they say to God, ‘Leave us alone!(T)
We have no desire to know your ways.(U)
15 Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him?
What would we gain by praying to him?’(V)
16 But their prosperity is not in their own hands,
so I stand aloof from the plans of the wicked.(W)
17 “Yet how often is the lamp of the wicked snuffed out?(X)
How often does calamity(Y) come upon them,
the fate God allots in his anger?(Z)
18 How often are they like straw before the wind,
like chaff(AA) swept away(AB) by a gale?(AC)
19 It is said, ‘God stores up the punishment of the wicked for their children.’(AD)
Let him repay the wicked, so that they themselves will experience it!(AE)
20 Let their own eyes see their destruction;(AF)
let them drink(AG) the cup of the wrath of the Almighty.(AH)
21 For what do they care about the families they leave behind(AI)
when their allotted months(AJ) come to an end?(AK)
22 “Can anyone teach knowledge to God,(AL)
since he judges even the highest?(AM)
23 One person dies in full vigor,(AN)
completely secure and at ease,(AO)
24 well nourished(AP) in body,[b]
bones(AQ) rich with marrow.(AR)
25 Another dies in bitterness of soul,(AS)
never having enjoyed anything good.
26 Side by side they lie in the dust,(AT)
and worms(AU) cover them both.(AV)
27 “I know full well what you are thinking,
the schemes by which you would wrong me.
28 You say, ‘Where now is the house of the great,(AW)
the tents where the wicked lived?’(AX)
29 Have you never questioned those who travel?
Have you paid no regard to their accounts—
30 that the wicked are spared from the day of calamity,(AY)
that they are delivered from[c] the day of wrath?(AZ)
31 Who denounces their conduct to their face?
Who repays them for what they have done?(BA)
32 They are carried to the grave,
and watch is kept over their tombs.(BB)
33 The soil in the valley is sweet to them;(BC)
everyone follows after them,
and a countless throng goes[d] before them.(BD)
