Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1“Man, who is born of woman, is short of days and full of trouble.
1O KE kanaka i hanauia e ka wahine. He hapa kona mau la, a ua piha i ka popilikia.
2Like a flower, he comes forth, then withers away; like a fleeting shadow, he does not endure.
2Puka mai no ia me he pua la, a ua okiia aku; A holo aku no ia me he aka la, aole ia e mau.
3Do You open Your eyes to one like this? Will You bring him into judgment before You?
3A ke kau anei oe i kou mau maka maluna o ka mea like me ia, A e lawe mai ia'u i ka hookolokoloia ana e oe?
4Who can bring out clean from unclean? No one!
4Owai ka mea e unuhi ae i ka mea maemae mai o ka mea haumia? aole kekahi.
5Since his days are determined and the number of his months is with You, and since You have set limits that he cannot exceed,
5No ka mea, ua heluia kona mau la, A ia oe no ka huina o kona mau malama, Ua hoonoho oe i kona mau mokuna, i hiki ole ai ia ke ae aku;
6look away from him and let him rest, so he can enjoy his day as a hired hand.
6E nana ae oe mai ona aku la, i hoomaha iho ai ia, A hauoli ia i kona ia, me he mea hoolimalima la.
7For there is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its tender shoots will not fail.
7No ka mea, a i kuaia ka laau, He manao no nona, e ulu hou auanei, Aole hoi e pau na lala hou.
8If its roots grow old in the ground and its stump dies in the soil,
8Ina ua elemakule kona aa ma ka honua, A ua make hoi kona kumu ma ka lepo;
9at the scent of water it will bud and put forth twigs like a sapling.
9Aka, no ka honi ana i ka wai e kupu ae ia, A e hookupu aku i na lala, me he laau kanu la,
10But a man dies and is laid low; he breathes his last, and where is he?
10Aka, o ke kanaka, e make no ia, a e nalowale aku; Oia, e make ana no ke kanaka, auhea la oia?
11As water disappears from the sea and a river becomes parched and dry,
11E like me ka maloo ana o na wai, mai ke kai aku, A me ka emi ana o ka muliwai, a maloo iho;
12so a man lies down and does not rise. Until the heavens are no more, he will not be awakened or roused from sleep.
12Pela e moe iho ai ke kanaka, aole ku hou ae; Aole lakou e ala hou mai, a pau aku na lani, Aole hoi e hooku hou ia, mai ko lakou hiamoe ana.
13If only You would hide me in Sheol and conceal me until Your anger has passed! If only You would appoint a time for me and then remember me!
13E pono e waiho iho oe ia'u iloko o ka luakupapau, A e huna oe ia'u, a hala aku kou huhu, A e hoakaka mai no'u i ka manawa pono, a e hoomanao mai ia'u!
14When a man dies, will he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait, until my renewal comes.
14Ina e make ke kanaka, e ola hou anei oia? O na la a pau o ko'u kaua ana ka'u e kali ai, A hiki mai ko'u manawa.
15You will call, and I will answer; You will desire the work of Your hands.
15E kahea mai oe ia'u, a e hoolohe aku no au ia oe: A e aloha mai no oe i ka hana a kou mau lima.
16For then You would count my steps, but would not keep track of my sin.
16No ka mea, ano ke helu nei oe i kuu mau kapuwai; Aole anei oe e kiai mai nei i ko'u hewa?
17My transgression would be sealed in a bag, and You would cover over my iniquity.
17Ua hoopaaia kuu hewa iloko o ka aa, Ua imi hala oe i kuu hewa.
18But as a mountain erodes and crumbles and a rock is dislodged from its place,
18A he oiaio, o ka mauna e hiolo ana, moe mau no ia, A ua hooneeia ka pohaku mai kona wahi aku.
19as water wears away the stones and torrents wash away the soil, so You destroy a man’s hope.
19Ke anai nei na wai i na pohaku; O kona wai nui, ua hoopau aku ia i ka lepo o ka aina; Pela oe e hoomake nei i ka manaolana o ke kanaka.
20You forever overpower him, and he passes on; You change his countenance and send him away.
20Ke lanakila mau nei oe maluna ona, a hele aku no ia: Ke boopahaohao nei oe i kona maka, a hoouna aku ia ia.
21If his sons receive honor, he does not know it; if they are brought low, he is unaware.
21Ua hoohanohanoia kana keiki, aole oia i ike: A ua hoohaahaaia lakou, aole ia i noonoo no lakou.
22He feels only the pain of his own body and mourns only for himself.”
22Aka, e hui kona io maluna ona, A e uwe kona naau iloko ona.
