1Then Job answered:
1A LAILA olelo mai o Ioba, i mai la,
2“How long will you torment me and crush me with your words?
2Pehea la ka loihi e hoeha mai ai oukou i kuu uhane, A e haihai mai ia'u ma na olelo?
3Ten times now you have reproached me; you shamelessly mistreat me.
3Eia ka umi o ka oukou olelo ino mai ia'u; Aole oukou i hilahila, ke hookulikuli oukou ia'u;
4Even if I have truly gone astray, my error concerns me alone.
4Ina he oiaio, he lalau ko'u, Ke waiho nei me au kuu lalau ana.
5If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me and use my disgrace against me,
5Ina he oiaio, e hookiekie oukou e ku e ia'u, A e ao mai ia'u i kuu hoinoia:
6then understand that it is God who has wronged me and drawn His net around me.
6E ike oukou ano, ua hookahuli mai ke Akua ia'u, A ua hoopuni mai ia'u i kana upena.
7Though I cry out, ‘Violence!’ I get no response; though I call for help, there is no justice.
7Aia hoi, ke kahea aku nei au no ka hana ino ia, aole au i hooloheia mai; Ke hea nui aku nei an, aohe hooponopono.
8He has blocked my way so I cannot pass; He has veiled my paths with darkness.
8Ua alalai mai ia i ko'u ala, aole au e hiki ke hele aku, A ua kau no ia i ka pouli ma kuu mau alanui.
9He has stripped me of my honor and removed the crown from my head.
9Ua hao mai ia ia'u i kuu nani, Ua lawe hoi i ka leialii mai kuu poo aku.
10He tears me down on every side until I am gone; He uproots my hope like a tree.
10Ua luku mai ia ia'u a puni, a ua pau hoi au; A ua uhuki ae ia i kuu manaolana, me he laau la,
11His anger burns against me, and He counts me among His enemies.
11Ua hoaa no ia i kona inaina ia'u, A ua manao no ia'u me kona poe enemi.
12His troops advance together; they construct a ramp against me and encamp around my tent.
12Hoakoakoaia kona poe koa, A hoouka ae lakou i ko lakou kuamoo ia'u, A hoomoana lakou a puni ko'u halelewa.
13He has removed my brothers from me; my acquaintances have abandoned me.
13Ua hoomamao aku ia i ko'u mau hoahanau mai o'u aku la, A o ko'u mau hoalauna, ua hoomaka e lakou ia'u.
14My kinsmen have failed me, and my friends have forgotten me.
14Ua haalele kuu mau hoa pili ia'u, A o kuu poe makamaka, ua hoopoina lakou ia'u.
15My guests and maidservants count me as a stranger; I am a foreigner in their sight.
15O ka poe e noho ana ma kuu hale, a me na kauwawahine a'u, manao mai lakou ia'u he malihini: He kanaka e no wau i ko lakou mau maka.
16I call for my servant, but he does not answer, though I implore him with my own mouth.
16Kahea aku au i ka'u kauwa, aole ia e o mai; Nonoi aku au ia ia me kuu waha.
17My breath is repulsive to my wife, and I am loathsome to my own family.
17Ua ano e kuu hanu i ka'u wahine, A me kuu uwe ana i na keiki o kuu kino.
18Even little boys scorn me; when I appear, they deride me.
18O na keiki liilii, hoowahawaha lakou ia'u; Ku no wau iluna, a olelo ku e mai lakou ia'u.
19All my best friends despise me, and those I love have turned against me.
19O na hoa kuka o'u a pau, ua hoopailua lakou ia'u; A o ka poe a'u i aloha i, ua huli lakou e ku e ia'u.
20My skin and flesh cling to my bones; I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
20Ke pili nei kuu iwi i ko'u ili a me ko'u io, A ua pakele au me ka ili o ko'u mau niho.
21Have pity on me, my friends, have pity, for the hand of God has struck me.
21E aloha mai ia'u, e aloha mai ia'u, e oukou ko'u poe makamaka; No ka mea, ua hahau mai ka lima o ke Akua ia'u!
22Why do you persecute me as God does? Will you never get enough of my flesh?
22No ko aha la oukou e hahai mai ai ia'u, me he Akua la, Aole hoi oukou i maona i kuu io?
23I wish that my words were recorded and inscribed in a book,
23Ina paha ano e kakauia ka'u mau olelo! Ina e palapalaia lakou iloko o ka buke!
24by an iron stylus on lead, or chiseled in stone forever.
24Me ka peni hao a me ke kepau, E kahakaha mau ia lakou iloko o ka pohaku!
25But I know that my Redeemer lives, and in the end He will stand upon the earth.
25No ka mea, ua ike au e ola ana kuu Mea hoola, A i ka wa mahope e ku no ia maluna o ka honua.
26Even after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God.
26A mahope o kuu ili, e hoopau na ilo i keia kino, Aka, ma kuu io e ike aku au i ke Akua.
27I will see Him for myself; my eyes will behold Him, and not as a stranger. How my heart yearns within me!
27Oia ka'u e ike aku no'u iho, A e ike ko'u mau maka, aole ko hai; Ua kaniuhu kuu naau iloko o'u.
28If you say, ‘Let us persecute him, since the root of the matter lies with him,’
28Aka, e olelo oukou, No ke aha kakou e hoomaau ia ia, No ka mea, ua loaa ko kumu o ka mea iloko o'u?
29then you should fear the sword yourselves, because wrath brings punishment by the sword, so that you may know there is a judgment.”
29E makau oukou i ka pahikaua; No ka mea, o ka huhu, oia ka hewa no ka pahikaua, I ike oukou, he hoopai ana no.
