Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Then Job replied:
1OLELO mai la o Ioba, i mai la,
2“If only my grief could be weighed and placed with my calamity on the scales.
2Ina paha e kaupaona pono ia kuu luuluu, A e kauia ma ka mea kaupaona kuu ehaeha!
3For then it would outweigh the sand of the seas— no wonder my words have been rash.
3No ka mea, ano, ua oi kona kaumaha mamua o ke one o ke kai: Nolaila, ua ilihia ka'u mau huaolelo.
4For the arrows of the Almighty have pierced me; my spirit drinks in their poison; the terrors of God are arrayed against me.
4No ka mea, o na pua pana o ka Mea mana, eia iloko o'u, A ke inu nei ka wela o ia mau mea i kuu uhane; O na mea weliweli o ke Akua, ke ku e mai nei ia'u.
5Does a wild donkey bray over fresh grass, or an ox low over its fodder?
5E uwe anei ka hoki hihiu imua o ka weuweu? A ke uwo anei ka bipi maluna o kana mea ai?
6Is tasteless food eaten without salt, or is there flavor in the white of an egg ?
6E hiki anei ke aiia ka mea mananalo, ke ole ka paakai. He mea ono anei ke ewe o ka hua moa?
7My soul refuses to touch them; they are loathsome food to me.
7Aole au e hiki ke hoopa aku, Ua like ia me ka hoopailua o ko'u ai.
8If only my request were granted and God would fulfill my hope:
8Ina paha e haawiia mai kuu mea e noi aku ai, Ina paha e haawi mai ke Akua i kuu mea i kuko aku ai!
9that God would be willing to crush me, to unleash His hand and cut me off!
9A ina paha e oluolu ke Akua e ulupa mai ia'u, Ina e hookuu mai ia i kona lima, a e oki mai ia'u!
10It still brings me comfort, and joy through unrelenting pain, that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
10Alaila e oluolu hou iho no wau, A e hauoli aku au i ka eha: Mai aua mai ia; no ka mea, aole au i hoole i na olelo a ka Mea Hemolele.
11What strength do I have, that I should still hope? What is my future, that I should be patient?
11Heaha kuu ikaika, i kakali aku ai au? Heaha hoi kuu hope, i hooloihi aku ai au i kuu ola?
12Is my strength like that of stone, or my flesh made of bronze?
12He ikaika anei ko'u e like me ka ikaika o na pohaku? He keleawe anei ko'u io?
13Is there any help within me now that success is driven from me?
13Aole anei ka'u kokua iloko o'u? A ua holo aku anei ka mea e pakele ai mai o'u aku la?
14A despairing man should have the kindness of his friend, even if he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
14O ka mea ehaeha e alohaia oia e kona hoalauna; Aka, ua haalele aku ia i ka makau i ka Mea mana.
15But my brothers are as faithless as wadis, as seasonal streams that overflow,
15Ua hana hoopunipuni mai ko'u mau hoahanau, e like me ke kahawai; Ua nalowale aku lakou, e like me ka wai kahe o na awawa;
16darkened because of the ice and the inflow of melting snow,
16I uliuli i ka waipaa, Malaila i hunaia'i ka hau.
17but ceasing in the dry season and vanishing from their channels in the heat.
17I ka wa e ololi ai lakou, ua hoopauia lakou; I ke kau wela, ua maloo aku la mai ko lakou wahi aku.
18Caravans turn aside from their routes; they go into the wasteland and perish.
18Ua huli ae na huakai ma ko lakou ala ilaila; Hele lakou a nalowale, a pau.
19The caravans of Tema look for water; the travelers of Sheba hope to find it.
19Nana aku la, na huakai hele o Tema, A o na poe hele o Seba, i kakali aku ia lakou.
20They are confounded because they had hoped; their arrival brings disappointment.
20Ua hoka lakou, no ka mea, ua lana wale ka manao: Hele lakou ilaila, a hoohilahilaia lakou.
21For now you are of no help; you see terror, and you are afraid.
21No ka mea, ua like oukou me ka mea ole; Ua ike oukou i ka popilikia, a makau iho la.
22Have I ever said, ‘Give me something; offer me a bribe from your wealth;
22Ua olelo anei au, E lawe mai no'u? A e haawi mai i makana no'u mailoko mai o ko oukou waiwai?
23deliver me from the hand of the enemy; redeem me from the grasp of the ruthless’?
23A e hoopakele paha oukou ia'u mai ka lima mai o ka enemi? A e hoola ia'u, mai ka lima mai o ka poe ikaika?
24Teach me, and I will be silent. Help me understand how I have erred.
24E ao mai oukou ia'u, a e noho malie iho au: E hoike mai oukou ia'u i kuu mea i lalau ai.
25How painful are honest words! But what does your argument prove?
25Nani ka ikaika o na olelo oiaio! Aka, heaha la ka ka oukou olelo hoino e hooiaio ai?
26Do you intend to correct my words, and treat as wind my cry of despair?
26Ke manao nei anei oukou e hoohewa i na hua olelo? A o na olelo a ka mea paupauaho, Ua like me ka makani?
27You would even cast lots for an orphan and barter away your friend.
27Oiaio, ke hoohina nei oukou i ka mea makua ole, A ke eli iho oukou i lua no ko oukou hoalauna.
28But now, please look at me. Would I lie to your face?
28Ano hoi, e noho malie oukou, e nana mai ia'u; No ka mea, ua akaka ia oukou, ke hoopunipuni au.
29Reconsider; do not be unjust. Reconsider, for my righteousness is at stake.
29E hoi hou, ke noi aku nei au ia oukou, mai hoolilo ia i hewa; Oia e hoi hou hoi, A o ko'u pono aia iloko o ia mea.
30Is there iniquity on my tongue? Can my mouth not discern malice?
30He hewa anei iloko o kuu alelo? Aole anei au e ike i na mea hewa?
