Job 31

31:1
Kua oti taku kawenata ki oku kanohi; kia whakaaroaro ahau hei aha ki te kotiro?
I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?
31:2
He aha ta te Atua wahi e tuwha mai ai i runga? He aha ta te Kaha Rawa taonga tupu i te wahi tiketike?
For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
31:3
He teka ianei he whakangaromanga mo te tangata kino? he whiu mo nga kaimahi o te he?
Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?
31:4
He teka ianei e kitea ana e ia oku ara, e taua ana e ia oku hikoinga katoa?
Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
31:5
Ki te mea i haere ahau i runga i te tekateka noa, a i hohoro toku waewae ki te tinihanga;
If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;
31:6
Kia paunatia ahau i runga i te pauna tika, kia mohio ai te Atua ki toku tapatahi:
Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know mine integrity.
31:7
Ki te mea i kotiti ke toku hikoinga i te ara, a i whai toku ngakau i oku kanohi; a ki te mea i mau te tongi ki oku ringa;
If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands;
31:8
Kati, ko ahau hei whakato, a ma tetahi atu e kai; ae ra, tukua nga hua o taku mara kia hutia atu.
Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.
31:9
Ki te mea i whakawairangitia toku ngakau e te wahine, a i whanga ahau i te tatau o toku hoa;
If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;
31:10
Heoi kia huri paraoa taku wahine ma tetahi atu, kia piko iho ano hoki nga tangata ke ki runga i a ia.
Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
31:11
He kino rawa hoki tera; ae ra, he he e tika ana kia whiua e nga kaiwhakawa:
For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.
31:12
He ahi hoki tera e kai ana ki te whakangaromanga rawa, poto noa aku hua katoa.
For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
31:13
Ki te mea i whakahaweatia e ahau te whakawa a taku pononga tane, a taku pononga wahine, i a raua e totohe ana ki ahau;
If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;
31:14
Ka pehea ra ahau ina whakatika te Atua? He aha taku kupu e whakahoki ai ki a ia ina tae mai ia ki te titiro?
What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
31:15
He teka ranei na toku kaihanga ia i hanga i roto i te kopu? a nana, na te kotahi, i whai ahua ai maua i roto i te puku?
Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?
31:16
Ki te mea i kaiponuhia e ahau ta nga rawakore i hiahia ai, a meinga ana e ahau nga kanohi o te pouaru kia pau i te minamina;
If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
31:17
Ki te mea ranei i kainga taku maramara e toku kotahi, a kihai te pani i kai i tetahi wahi;
Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;
31:18
He mea whakatupu ia naku no toku taitamarikitanga ra ano me te mea ko tona papa ahau: ko te pouaru he mea arahi naku no te kopu ra ano o toku whaea;
(For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)
31:19
Ki te mea i kite ahau i tetahi e tata ana ki te mate, he kore no te kakahu, a kahore he uhi mo te rawakore;
If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;
31:20
Ki te mea kihai tona hope i whakapai ki ahau, a kihai ia i mahana i nga huruhuru o taku kahui:
If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
31:21
Ki te mea i ara toku ringa hei pehi i te pani, i toku kitenga he awina tera moku kei te kuwaha;
If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:
31:22
Na kia marere atu toku pokohiwi i roto i te peke, kia whati te takakau o toku ringa.
Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.
31:23
Ko te whiu hoki a te Atua taku i wehi ai; kihai hoki i taea e ahau te aha i tona nui.
For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.
31:24
Ki te mea i u toku whakaaro ki te koura, a i mea ahau ki te koura parakore, Ko koe taku e whakawhirinaki atu ai;
If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;
31:25
Ki te mea i koa ahau ki te maha o oku rawa, a ki te nui o ta toku ringa i whiwhi ai;
If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;
31:26
Ki te mea i kite ahau i te ra e whiti ana, i te marama ranei e haere ana i tona tiahotanga;
If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;
31:27
A ka kumea pukutia atu toku ngakau, ka kihia toku ringa e toku mangai:
And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:
31:28
Na he kino tenei hei whiunga ma nga kaiwhakawa: he teka hoki naku ki te Atua i runga.
This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.
31:29
Ki te mea i koa ahau ki te whakangaromanga o te tangata i kino ki ahau, i whakaara ake ranei i ahau i te panga o te he ki a ia;
If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:
31:30
Ae, kihai ahau i tuku i toku mangai kia hara, kihai i whai kia kanga tona wairua;
Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.
31:31
Ki te mea kahore nga tangata o toku teneti i mea, Tena koa te tangata kihai nei i makona i tona kikokiko?
If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.
31:32
Kihai te manene i moe i waho; i whakatuwheratia ano e ahau oku tatau ki te tangata haere;
The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller.
31:33
Ki te mea i pera ahau me Arama, i hipoki i oku he, i huna i toku kino ki roto ki toku uma;
If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:
31:34
I wehi hoki ahau i te huihui nui, i mataku ki te whakahawea a nga hapu, a whakarongo kau ana, kihai hoki i puta ki waho
Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?
31:35
Aue, me i whakarongo mai tetahi ki ahau! Nana, tenei taku tohu, ma te Kaha Rawa e whakahoki mai he kupu ki ahau; me i ahau noa te pukapuka i tuhituhia e toku hoariri!
Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book.
31:36
Ina, kua amohia e ahau i runga i toku pokohiwi; kua herea e ahau hei karauna moku.
Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me.
31:37
Kua whakaaturia e ahau ki a ia te maha o oku hikoinga; rite tonu ki ta te rangatira taku whakatata atu ki a ia.
I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.
31:38
Ki te tangi taku oneone, he whakahe ki ahau, ki te uru ano ona moa ki te aue,
If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain;
31:39
Ki te mea i kainga e ahau ona hua, he mea kihai i utua, a naku ranei ona ariki i mate ai,
If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:
31:40
Na, kia riro pu te witi i te tataramoa, te parei i te taru kino. Heoi ano nga korero a Hopa.
Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.
