Habakuka 1
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1O KA olelo, ka mea i hoikeia ia Habakuka ke kaula.
1The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
2Pehea ka loihi o ko'u kahea ana, e Iehova, aole oe e hoolohe mai? A uwe aku hoi ia oe no ka hana ino, aole oe e hoopakele mai?
2O LORD , how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!
3No keaha la, kou hoike ana mai ia'u i ke kaumaha, a me ka ehaeha? Aia no ka hana ino, a me ka hooluhi imua o'u; A ala mai ka hakaka a me ka paio.
3Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.
4No ia mea, ua nawaliwali ke kanawai, aole e hele aku ka hoopono ana me ka oiaio; Aka, o ka mea hewa ke hoopuni i ka mea pono; Nolaila, ua hookahuliia ka pono.
4Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.
5E nana oukou iwaena o na lahuikanaka, a e ike pono, a e kahaha nui ka naau, No ka mea, e hana no au i ka hana i ko oukou mau la, Ka mea i manaoio ole ai oukou, ke haiia mai ia.
5¶ Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you .
6No ka mea, aia hoi, e hooku au i ko Kaledea, he lahuikanaka hana ino, a me ka huhu, Ka mea e hele i na wahi akea o ka honua, e imi i na noho ana, na mea aole no lakou.
6For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs.
7He mea weliweli a me ka makau oia; Nona iho kona kanawai, a me kona hanohano.
7They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
8Ua oi ka mama o kona poe lio mamua o ka leopade, A ua oi ko lakou mama mamua o na iliohae i ke ahiahi; Holo haaheo kona poe hololio, E hele mai kona poe hoohololio mai kahi loihi mai; E lele lakou me he aeto la, e lalelale ana e ai.
8Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.
9Hele mai lakou a pau no ka hao wale; A o ke ano o ko lakou maka, ua like me ka makani hikina; A hoakoakoa lakou i ka poe pio e like me ke one.
9They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
10Hoomaewaewa aku no ia i na'lii, a lilo na haku i mea henehene nona: Ua akaaka no ia i na wahi paa a pau, a hana no ia i puu lepo, a lawepio no oia ia mea.
10And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.
11Alaila, e hoomahuahua oia i kona ikaika, a e hele aku, a e luku aku, e i aku, A o kona mana anei keia, o kona akua ia?
11Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.
12Aole anei oe mai ka kahiko mai, e Iehova, Kuu Akua, kuu Mea Hemolele? aole makou e make. O oe, e Iehova, i hoonoho ia ia, no ka hookolokolo ana, O oe e ka Pohaku, i kukulupaa ia ia no ka hoopai ana.
12¶ Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD , thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.
13Ua maemae loa kou mau maka, aole oe e nana i ka hewa; Aole loa oe e ike mai i ka pono ole: No ke aha oe e nana mai i ka poe lawehala, a e noho ekemu ole, I ka manawa e luku mai ai ka mea hewa i ka mea ua oi ka pono mamua ona?
13Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?
14Aka, ua hana oe i ke kanaka e like me na ia o ke kai, E like hoi me ka mea kolo, aohe mea e alii ana maluna ona.
14And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
15Huki no ia ia lakou iluna me ka makau, A hei iho ia lakou i kana upena, A houluulu ia lakou iloko o kana pahele; Nolaila, olioli no ia, a hauoli hoi.
15They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.
16No ia hoi, mohai aku no ia no kana upena iho, a kuni i ka mea ala no kana mea pahele, No ka mea, ma ia mau mea, ua waiwai kona noho ana, A ua momona kana ai.
16Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous.
17Nolaila hoi, e ninini anei ia i kana upena, A e luku mau loa no hoi i na lahuikanaka?
17Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?
