Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1The life of man upon earth is a warfare, and his days are like the days of a hireling.
1A OLE anei he kaua no ke kanaka ma ka honua? A like kona mau la me na la o ka mea hoolimalima?
2As a servant longeth for the shade, as the hireling looketh for the end of his work;
2E like me ke kauwa i makemake nui i ka malu, A me ka hoolimalima i nana i ka uku o kana hana;
3So I also have had empty months, and have numbered to myself wearisome nights.
3Pela no e lilo mai ai ia'u na malama luuluu, A e loaa ia'u na po kaumaha.
4If I lie down to sleep, I shall say: When shall arise? and again I shall look for the evening, and shall be filled with sorrows even till darkness.
4A i ka wa i moe ai au ilalo, i iho no au, Ahea la au e ala'e iluna? Ahea la e hala'e ka po? Ua piha au i ka hiaa ana a hiki i ka wanaao.
5My flesh is clothed with rottenness and the filth of dust, my skin is withered and drawn together.
5Ua paapu ko'u kino i ka ilo a me ka papaa lepo; Ke ola mai nei kuu ili, alaila puha hou ae la.
6My days have passed more swiftly than the web is cut by the weaver, and are consumed without any hope.
6Ua oi ka mama o kuu mau la mamua o ka laau ulana lole, A holo aku me ke manaolana ole.
7Remember that my life is but wind, and my eyes shall not return to see good things.
7E hoomanao oe, he makani kuu ola: Aole e ike hou ko'u maka i ka maikai.
8Nor shall the sight of man behold me: thy eyes are upon me, and I shall be no more.
8O ka maka o ka mea i ike ia'u, aole ia e ike hou ia'u: Maluna o'u kou mau maka, a e ole auanei au.
9As a cloud is consumed, and passeth away: so he that shall go down to hell shall not come up.
9E like me ke ao e nalowale ana a e hele aku ana; Pela ka mea e iho ana i ka luakupapau, aole ia e ea hou ae iluna.
10Nor shall he return my more into his house, neither shall his place know him any more.
10Aole ia e hoi hou i kona hale, Aole hoi e ike hou kona wahi ia ia.
11Wherefore I will not spare my month, I will speak in the affliction of my spirit: I will talk with the bitterness of my soul.
11Nolaila aole au e hoopaa i kuu waha; E olelo aku au ma ka pilikia o kuu uhane; E ulono ana au no ka awaawa o kuu naau.
12Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou hast enclosed me in a prison?
12He kai anei au, a he ia nui, I hoonoho mai ai oe i ke kiai maluna o'u?
13If I say: My bed shall comfort me, and I shall be relieved speaking with myself on my couch:
13A i iho au, E hooluolu kuu wahi moe ia'u, E lawe aku kuu moe i ko'u ulono ana:
14Thou wilt frighten me with dreams and terrify me with visions.
14Alaila hoomakau mai oe ia'u ma na moeuhane, A hooweliweli mai oe ia'u i na mea hihio.
15So that my soul rather chooseth hanging, and my bones death.
15Nolaila ke koho nei kuu naau i ke kaawe, A me ka make mamua o kuu ola ana.
16I have done with hope, I shall now live no longer: spare me, for my days are nothing.
16Ke hoopailua nei au ia mea; aole au makemake e ola loa; E waiho mai ia'u; no ka mea, he hanu wale no kuu mau la.
17What is a man that thou shouldst magnify him? or why dost thou set thy heart upon him?
17Heaha la ke kanaka, i hoonui mai ai oe ia ia? A i kau mai ai oe i kou manao ia ia?
18Thou visitest him early in the morning, and thou provest him suddenly.
18A i ike mai ai oe ia ia i kela kakahiaka keia kakahiaka, A i hoao mau mai ai oe ia ia?
19How long wilt thou not spare me, nor suffer me to swallow down my spittle?
19Pehea ka loihi o kou nana ole ana mai io'u aku nei, A kuu ole mai ia'u, a moni iho au i kuu kuha?
20I have sinned: what shall I do to thee, O keeper of men? why hast thou set me opposite to thee, and I am become burdensome to myself?
20Ua hana hewa au; heaha ka'u e hana aku ai ia oe, E ka Meakiai i na kanaka? No keaha la oe e hooku ae ia'u, i mea e hopu ai nou, I lilo ai hoi au i mea kaumaha no'u iho?
21Why dost thou not remove my sin, and why dost thou not take away my iniquity? Behold now I shall sleep in the dust: and if thou seek me in the morning, I shall not be.
21No keaha la oe i kala ole mai ai i kuu hala, A i lawe aku hoi i ko'u hewa? No ka mea, ano e moe auanei au i ka lepo; A e imi mai oe ia'u, aole hoi wau.
