Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1“But now they mock me, men younger than I am, whose fathers I would have refused to entrust with my sheep dogs.
1A NO hoi, ua henehene mai ia'u ka poe opiopio ia'u, Ka poe nona na makuakane a'u i hoowahawaha ai, Aole e hoonoho pu me na ilio o ka'u poe hipi.
2What use to me was the strength of their hands, since their vigor had left them?
2Oia hoi, o ka ikaika o ko lakou lima heaha ia ia'u, Ka mea i pau ka ikaika?
3Gaunt from poverty and hunger, they gnawed the dry land, and the desolate wasteland by night.
3No ka ilihune a no ka pololi ua wiwi lakou; Holo lakou i ka waonahele, I ka po he mehameha a neoneo.
4They plucked mallow among the shrubs, and the roots of the broom tree were their food.
4Uhuki lakou i ka maluha ma ka nahelehele, A me ke aa o ka laau iunipera i ai na lakou.
5They were banished from among men, shouted down like thieves,
5Maiwaena mai o kanaka ua hookukeia'ku lakou; Kahea nui aku mahope o lakou e like me lakou i ka aihue;
6so that they lived on the slopes of the wadis, among the rocks and in holes in the ground.
6Maloko o na awawa weliweli e noho ai lakou, Maloko o na lua o ka honua a me na pohaku.
7They cried out among the shrubs and huddled beneath the nettles.
7Mawaena o ka nahelehele, me he hoki la lakou i uwe ai, Malalo o ka laau kuku lakou i hoakoakoa ai.
8A senseless and nameless brood, they were driven off the land.
8He poe keiki a kanaka lapuwale, He poe keiki a kanaka inoa ole; Ua hookukeia lakou mai ka aina aku.
9And now they mock me in song; I have become a byword among them.
9Ano hoi, ua lilo au i mea e mele ai lakou; A ua lilo hoi au no lakou i mea e olelo nane ai.
10They abhor me and keep far from me; they do not hesitate to spit in my face.
10Ua hoopailua lakou ia'u, a holo mamao lakou mai o'u aku la, Aole lakou i uumi i ke kuha mai i kuu maka.
11Because God has unstrung my bow and afflicted me, they have cast off restraint in my presence.
11No ka mea, ua kuu aku ia i kona kaulawaha, a ua hookaumaha mai ia'u; Ua kuu aku hoi lakou i ke kaulawaha imua o'u.
12The rabble arises at my right; they lay snares for my feet and build siege ramps against me.
12Ma ka akau ku mai ka poe opio, a hoonee aku i kuu wawae, Hoouka ae lakou i na alanui no kuu make.
13They tear up my path; they profit from my destruction, with no one to restrain them.
13Ua hana ino lakou i kuu ala, Ua kokua lakou i kuu hina ana; Aohe o lakou kokua.
14They advance as through a wide breach; through the ruins they keep rolling in.
14Hele mai lakou me he poha nui mai la: Ma kahi nahae, hookaa mai la lakou maluna o'u.
15Terrors are turned loose against me; they drive away my dignity as by the wind, and my prosperity has passed like a cloud.
15Ua hiki mai na mea hooweliweli maluna o'u: Hoomaau lakou i kuu lokomaikai e like me ka makani; A me he ao la, ke hele aku nei kuu pomaikai.
16And now my soul is poured out within me; days of affliction grip me.
16Ano hoi ua nininiia kuu uhane iloko o'u, Ua lalau mai na la kaumaha ia'u.
17Night pierces my bones, and my gnawing pains never rest.
17I ka po ua oia kuu mau iwi iloko o'u; Aole i maha kuu mau eha aai.
18With great force He grasps my garment; He seizes me by the collar of my tunic.
18No ka ikaika loa o kuu mai, ua ano e kuu aahu; Ua puliki mai ia'u e like me ka a-i o kuu kapakomo.
19He throws me into the mud, and I have become like dust and ashes.
19Ua hoolei mai oia ia'u iloko o ka nenelu, A ua like au me ka lepo a me ka lehu.
20I cry out to You for help, but You do not answer; when I stand up, You merely look at me.
20Ua uwe aku au ia oe, aole oe i hoolohe mai ia'u; A ku au iluna, aole oe i manao mai ia'u.
21You have ruthlessly turned on me; You oppose me with Your strong hand.
21Ua lilo oe i enemi no'u, Me ka ikaika o kou lima i hahai mai oe ia'u.
22You snatch me up into the wind and drive me before it; You toss me about in the storm.
22Ua kaikai oe ia'u, A hooholo no oe ia'u maluna o ka makani; Ua hooheehee mai hoi ia'u a hoomakau mai.
23Yes, I know that You will bring me down to death, to the place appointed for all the living.
23No ka mea, ua ike no au e hoihoi aku oe ia'u i ka make, A i ka hale e akoakoa ai ka poe a pau e ola ana.
24Yet no one stretches out his hand to a ruined man when he cries for help in his distress.
24Aka, he mea ole ka pule, ke kikoo mai ia i kona lima, Ina e uwe lakou iloko o kona luku ana.
25Have I not wept for those in trouble? Has my soul not grieved for the needy?
25Aole anei au i uwe i kona la pilikia? Aole anei i kaumaha ko'u naau no ka poe ilihune?
26But when I hoped for good, evil came; when I looked for light, darkness fell.
26I ka wa i kakali ai au i ka maikai, alaila hiki mai ka hewa; A ukali au i ka malamalama, alaila hiki mai ka pouli.
27I am churning within and cannot rest; days of affliction confront me.
27Ua kupikio kuu opu, aohe malie iho; Ua hiki e mai ia'u na la popilikia.
28I go about blackened, but not by the sun. I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.
28Ke hele eleele nei au, aole nae i ka la: Ku no au iluna maloko o ka ahakanaka, a uwe aku au.
29I have become a brother of jackals, a companion of ostriches.
29Ua lilo au i hoahanau no na iliohae, A i hoalauna no na iana.
30My skin grows black and peels, and my bones burn with fever.
30Ua eleele kuu ili maluna o'u, A ua hoaia kuu mau iwi i ka wela.
31My harp is tuned to mourning and my flute to the sound of weeping.
31A ua lilo kuu lira no ke kanikau, A o kuu mea hookiokio no ka leo o ka poe e uwe ana.
