1Then Job answered, and said:
1A LAILA olelo mai la o Ioba, i mai la,
2I have often heard such things as these: you are all troublesome comforters.
2He nui na mea like a'u i lohe ai: He poe hooluolu hoopilikia oukou a pau.
3Shall windy words have no end? or is it any trouble to thee to speak?
3He hope anei no na huaolelo makani? Heaha ka mea hoala mai nei ia oe, i olelo mai ai oe?
4I also could speak like you: and would God your soul were for my soul.
4E hiki no ia'u ke olelo aku e like me ka oukou; Ina paha ua noho oukou ma ko'u wahi. E hiki no ia'u ke hookui i ka olelo ku e ia oukou; A e hooluliluli aku i ko'u poo ia oukou.
5I would comfort you also with words, and would wag my head over you.
5Aka, e hookupaa no au ia oukou me kuu waha, A o ka hooluolu ana o kuu lehelehe, e hoopaa aku no ia.
6I would strengthen you with my mouth, and would move my lips, as sparing you.
6Ina e olelo aku au, aole e oluolu kuu eha; Ina e noho malie hoi au, pehea ia e haalele ai ia'u?
7But what shall I do? If I speak, my pain will not rest: and if I hold my peace, it will not depart from me.
7Aka, ano ua hooluhi mai ia ia'u; Ua luku mai oe i ko'u ohana a pau.
8But now my sorrow hath oppressed me, and all my limbs are brought to nothing.
8Ua hoopaa mai oe ia'u, i mea hoike; O kuu wiwi, ke ku mai no ia ia'u, A e hoike mai imua o kuu maka.
9My wrinkles bear witness against me, and a false speaker riseth up against my face, contradicting me.
9Ke haehae mai nei kona huhu, a ua inaina mai ia ia'u; Ke nau mai nei ia ia'u me kona mau niho; O kuu enemi, ke hookala nei ia i kona mau maka maluna o'u.
10He hath gathered together his fury against me, and threatening me he hath gnashed with his teeth upon me: my enemy hath beheld me with terrible eyes.
10Ua hamama lakou maluna o'u me ko lakou waha; Ua papai lakou ia'u ma ka papalina me ka hoino: Ua hoakoakoaia lakou ma kahi hookahi e ku e ia'u.
11They have opened their mouths upon me, and reproaching me they have struck me on the cheek, they are filled with my pains.
11Ua hoolilo ke Akua ia'u i ka poe hewa, A ua haawi ia'u iloko o ka lima o ka poe aia.
12God hath shut me up with the unjust man, and hath delivered me into the hands of the wicked.
12I noho maluhia la no wan, aka, ua ulupa mai nei ia ia'u; Ua lalau mai ia ma kuu a-i, a ulupa mai no ia ia'u, Ua hooku mai ia'u i hoailona nona.
13I that was formerly so wealthy, am all on a sudden broken to pieces: he hath taken me by my neck, he hath broken me, and hath set me up to be his mark.
13Ua hoopuni kona poe panapua ia'u, Ua wahi mai ia i na puupaa o'u, aole e hookuu ae; Ua ninini iho ia i kuu au ma ka honua.
14He hath compassed me round about with his lances, he hath wounded my loins, he hath not spared, and hath poured out my bowels on the earth.
14Ua wawahi roai ia ia'u, me ka wahi ana mahope o ka wahi ana, Ua lele mai ia maluna o'u me he mea ikaika la.
15He hath torn me with wound upon wound, he hath rushed in upon me like a giant.
15Ua humuhumu au i ke kapa ino maluna o kuu ili, Ua hoohaumia au i kuu pepeiaohao iloko o ka lepo.
16I have sowed sackcloth upon my skin, and have covered my flesh with ashes.
16Ua ulaula kuu maka i ka uwe ana, A maluna o ko'u mau lihilihi maka ke aka o ka make.
17My face is swollen with weeping, and my eyelids are dim.
17Aole no ka mea pono ole iloko o ko'u lima; A o ka'u pule, ua maemae hoi ia.
18These things have I suffered without the iniquity of my hand, when I offered pure prayers to God.
18E ka honua, mai uhi oe i ko'u koko, Aole hoi e haawi i wahi no kuu uwe ana.
19O earth, cover not thou my blood, neither let my cry find a hiding place in thee.
19Ano hoi, aia ma ka lani kuu mea ike maka, A o kuu mea hoike ma na wahi kiekie.
20For behold my witness is in heaven, and he that knoweth my conscience is on high.
20O kuu poe hoino, o ko'u mau makamaka no ia: Ke hu aku nei kuu maka i ke Akua.
21My friends are full of words: my eye poureth out tears to God.
21Ina he mea e uwao me ke Akua no ke kanaka, E like me ke kanaka no kona hoalauna!
22And O that a man might so be judged with God, as the son of man is judged with his companion!
22A hala he hapa na makahiki, Alaila e hele aku au i ke ala aole au e hoi hou mai.
23For behold short years pass away and I am walking in a path by which I shall not return.
