1Job continued his discourse:
1A OLELO hou mai la o Ioba i kana olelonane, i mai la,
2“As surely as God lives, who has deprived me of justice— the Almighty, who has embittered my soul—
2Ma ke ola o ke Akua, nana i lawe aku kuu pono; A ma ka Mea mana, nana i hooawahia kuu uhane;
3as long as my breath is still within me and the breath of God remains in my nostrils,
3I ka manawa a pau o kuu hanu iloko o'u, A o ke ola o ke Akua iloko o kuu mau puka ihu;
4my lips will not speak wickedness, and my tongue will not utter deceit.
4Aole e olelo kuu lehelehe i ka hewa, A o kuu elelo aole e hoike aku i ka wahahee.
5I will never say that you are right; I will maintain my integrity until I die.
5Aole loa wau e hoapono aku ia oukou, a make au; Aole owau e lawe aku i kuu pono mai o'u aku la.
6I will cling to my righteousness and never let go. As long as I live, my conscience will not accuse me.
6Ma kuu pono ke hoopaa nei au, aole au e hookuu aku; Aole e hoino mai ia'u kuu naau i kekahi o kuu mau la.
7May my enemy be like the wicked and my opponent like the unjust.
7E hoohalikeia kuu enemi me ka mea hewa, A o ka mea ku e mai ia'u me he mea pono ole la.
8For what is the hope of the godless when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
8No ka mea, heaha ka manaelana o ka aia, i ka wa e hoopau ai ia ia, I ku wa e kaili aku ai ke Akua i kona uhane?
9Will God hear his cry when distress comes upon him?
9E hoolohe mai anei ke Akua i kona auwe ana, I ka manawa e hiki mai ai ka popilikia maluna ona?
10Will he delight in the Almighty? Will he call upon God at all times?
10E hauoli anei ia i ka Mea mana? E kahea mau loa anei ia i ke Akua?
11I will instruct you in the power of God. I will not conceal the ways of the Almighty.
11E ao aku au ia oukou ma ka lima o ke Akua: Aole au e huna i ka mea me ka Mea mana.
12Surely all of you have seen it for yourselves. Why then do you keep up this empty talk?
12Aia hoi, o oukou a pau, ua hoomaopopo oukou ia; No ke aha la oukou i manao lapuwale ai pela?
13This is the wicked man’s portion from God— the heritage the ruthless receive from the Almighty.
13Eia ka uku no ke kanaka hewa imua o ke Akua, O ka hooilina a ka poe hookaumaha e loaa'i, mai ka Mea mana mai.
14Though his sons are many, they are destined for the sword; and his offspring will never have enough food.
14Ina e hoonuiia kana poe keiki, no ka pahikaua no; A o kana poe mamo, aole e maona i ka berena.
15His survivors will be buried by the plague, and their widows will not weep for them.
15O kona poe e koe ana, e kanuia i ka make: Aole hoi e kanikau kana mau wahinekanemake.
16Though he heaps up silver like dust and piles up a wardrobe like clay,
16Ina e hoiliili oia i ke kala e like me ka lepo, A e hoomakaukau i ka lolekomo e like me ka palolo;
17what he lays up, the righteous will wear, and his silver will be divided by the innocent.
17E hoomakaukau no, aka, na ka mea pono e hookomo, A o ke kala, na ka mea hala ole e puunaue.
18The house he built is like a moth’s cocoon, like a hut set up by a watchman.
18Kukulu no ia i kona hale me he mu la, A e like me ke kamala a ke kiai i hana'i.
19He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more; when he opens his eyes, all is gone.
19Moe iho ilalo ka mea waiwai, aole e kanuia; Wehe ae ia i kona maka, aole iho la ia.
20Terrors overtake him like a flood; a tempest sweeps him away in the night.
20Kau mai la na weliweli ia ia, e like me na wai, I ka po, lawe aku ka puahiohio ia ia.
21The east wind carries him away, and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place.
21Na ka makani hikina ia e lawe aku, a hele aku ia, A o ka ino e lawe ia ia mai kona wahi aku.
22It hurls itself against him without mercy as he flees headlong from its power.
22E hoolei aku [ke Akua] ia ia, aole ia e minamina: I ka holo ana, e holo no ia mai kona lima aku.
23It claps its hands at him and hisses him out of his place.
23E pai lakou i ko lakou lima ia ia, A e kipaku ia ia mai kona wahi aku.
