Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1“Indeed, my eyes have seen all this; my ears have heard and understood.
1A IA hoi, ua ike ko'u maka i keia mea a pau, Ua lohe kuu pepeiao, a ua hoomaopopo hoi ia mea.
2What you know, I also know; I am not inferior to you.
2E like me ka oukou ike, pela no hoi ka'u e ike nei; Aole wau i emi iho malalo o oukou.
3Yet I desire to speak to the Almighty and argue my case before God.
3Aka, e olelo aku no au i ka Mea mana, A ke ake nei au e olelo hoakaka pu me ke Akua.
4You, however, smear with lies; you are all worthless physicians.
4A o oukou nae, he poe noonoo i ka wahahee, He poe kahuna lapuwale oukou a pau.
5If only you would remain silent; for that would be your wisdom!
5Ina paha e noho malie loa oukou! E lilo auanei ia i naauao no oukou.
6Hear now my argument, and listen to the plea of my lips.
6E hoolohe oukou ano i kuu hoakaka ana, A e haliu mai i na paapaa ana o kuu mau lehelehe.
7Will you speak wickedly on God’s behalf or speak deceitfully for Him?
7E olelo hewa anei oukou no ke Akua? A e kamailio wahahee anei oukou nona?
8Would you show Him partiality or argue in His defense?
8E nana anei oukou ma kona helehelena? E hakaka anei oukou no ke Akua?
9Would it be well when He examined you? Could you deceive Him like a man?
9He mea maikai anei e hulihuli mai oia ia oukou? A e like me ka ke kanaka e hoopunipuni ai i kekahi, Pela anei oukou e hoopunipuni ai ia ia?
10Surely He would rebuke you if you secretly showed partiality.
10E ao io mai no kela ia oukou, Ke nana malu oukou ma na helehelena.
11Would His majesty not terrify you? Would the dread of Him not fall upon you?
11Aole anei e hoomakau mai kona kiekie ia oukou? A e kau mai kona makau maluna o oukou?
12Your maxims are proverbs of ashes; your defenses are defenses of clay.
12Ua like ka oukou olelo akamai me ka lehu, A o ko oukou puukaua me ka puukaua lepo.
13Be silent, and I will speak. Then let come to me what may.
13E hamau oukou imua o'u, a e olelo aku au, A o ka mea e hele mai ana maluna o'u e hele mai no ia.
14Why do I put myself at risk and take my life in my own hands?
14No ke aha la i lawe ai au i kuu io ma ko'u niho, A e waiho i kuu ola ma kuu lima?
15Though He slay me, I will hope in Him. I will still defend my ways to His face.
15Ina e pepehi mai oia ia'u, e hilinai no au ia ia, Aka, e hoapono aku au i kuu aoao imua ona.
16Moreover, this will be my salvation, for no godless man can appear before Him.
16E lilo hoi ia i ola no'u; No ka mea, aole e hele mai ka aia imua ona.
17Listen carefully to my words; let my declaration ring in your ears.
17E hoolohe pono oukou i kuu wahi olelo, A me kuu hai ana'ku i ko oukou pepeiao.
18Behold, now that I have prepared my case, I know that I will be vindicated.
18Aia hoi ano, ua hoomakaukau au i kuu aoao; Ua ike au, e hoaponoia mai au.
19Can anyone indict me? If so, I will be silent and die.
19Owai la ka mea e hoopaapaa pu me au? No ka mea, ano, e noho malie wau, a e make no.
20Only grant these two things to me, so that I need not hide from You:
20Aka, mai hana mai oe i na mea elua ia'u; Alaila aole au e huna ia'u iho mai ou aku la.
21Withdraw Your hand from me, and do not let Your terror frighten me.
21E hemo aku i kou lima mai o'u aku la: A mai hooweliweli mai kou makau ia'u.
22Then call me, and I will answer, or let me speak, and You can reply.
22Alaila e kahea mai oe, a eo aku au; A o olelo aku paha wau, a e olelo hou mai oe ia'u.
23How many are my iniquities and sins? Reveal to me my transgression and sin.
23Ehia na hala o u a me na hewa? E hoike mai oe ia'u i kuu lawehala ana a me kuu hewa.
24Why do You hide Your face and consider me as Your enemy?
24No ke aha la oe e huna ae ai i kou maka, A e manao mai ai ia'u he ememi nou?
25Would You frighten a windblown leaf? Would You chase after dry chaff?
25E hooweliweli mai anei oe i ka lau i puhiia io ia nei? E alualu anei oe i ka opala maloo?
26For You record bitter accusations against me and bequeath to me the iniquities of my youth.
26No ka mea, ke kakau nei oe i na mea awaawa ia'u, A ke hoopai mai nei oe ia'u i na hewa o kuu wa opio.
27You put my feet in the stocks and stand watch over all my paths; You set a limit for the soles of my feet.
27Ke hookomo nei oe i ko'u mau waewae ma ka laau kupee, A ke makai nei i ko'u mau aoao a pau: Ke kahakaha nei no oe a puni na kapawai o'u.
28So man wastes away like something rotten, like a moth-eaten garment.
28A ua hoopauia oia me ho mea popopo la, A me he lole la i aiia e ka mu.
