Ioba 10
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1U A uluhua ko'u naau i kuu ola ana; E waiho iho au i kuu ulono ana ia'u iho; E olelo aku au maloko o ka ehaeha o kuu naau.
1My soul is weary of my life; I will give free course to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2E i aku au i ke Akua, Mai hoohewa mai oe ia'u; E hoike mai oe i ka mea au e hakaka mai nei me au.
2I will say unto God: Do not condemn me; make me know wherefore Thou contendest with me.
3He mea maikai anei ia oe, e hookaumaha, A e hoowahawaha i ka hana a kou lima, A e hoomalamalama ae maluna o ka manao o ka poe hewa?
3Is it good unto Thee that Thou shouldest oppress, that Thou shouldest despise the work of Thy hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
4O ko ke kino mau maka anei kou? Ua ike anei oe e like me ka ike ana a ke kanaka?
4Hast Thou eyes of flesh? or seest Thou as man seeth?
5Ua like anei kou mau la me na la o ke kanaka? Ua like anei kou mau makahiki me na la o ke kanaka,
5Are Thy days as the days of man, or Thy years as a man's days,
6I ninau mai ai oe i kuu hala, A imi mai ai hoi i ko'u hewa?
6That Thou inquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin,
7Ma kou ike aohe o'u hewa; Aohe mea nana e hoopakele mai kou lima aku.
7Although Thou knowest that I shall not be condemned; and there is none that can deliver out of Thy hand?
8Ua hana kou mau lima ia'u, A ua hoopaa mai oe ia'u a puni; Aka, ke luku mai nei oe ia'u.
8Thy hands have framed me and fashioned me together round about; yet Thou dost destroy me!
9Ke noi aku nei au ia oe e hoomanao, Ua hana mai oe ia'u, e like me ka lepo; A e hoihoi anei oe ia'u i ka lepo?
9Remember, I beseech Thee, that Thou hast fashioned me as clay; and wilt Thou bring me into dust again?
10Aole anei oe i ninini iho ia'u me he waiu la, A i hoopaakiki mai hoi ia'u, me he waiupaa la?
10Hast Thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
11Ua uhi mai oe ia'u i ka ili a me ka io, A ua hoopaa mai oe ia'u i na iwi a me na olona.
11Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.
12Ua hana mai oe iloko i ke ola a me ka pomaikai, A ua malama mai kou kiai ana i kuu uhane.
12Thou hast granted me life and favour, and Thy providence hath preserved my spirit.
13O keia mau mea kau i huna'i iloko o kou naau: Ua ike no wau, aia no me oe keia mea.
13Yet these things Thou didst hide in Thy heart; I know that this is with Thee;
14Ina e hana hewa au, alaila hoomanao mai no oe ia'u, Aole oe e kela mai ia'u, mai ko'u hewa aku.
14If I sin, then Thou markest me, and Thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
15Ina ua hewa au, auwe hoi wau; Ina ua pono au, aole wau e hookiekie i ko'u poo. Ua piha au i ka hilahila; A ua ike au i kuu poino;
15If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet shall I not lift up my head — being filled with ignominy and looking upon mine affliction.
16Ina e hookiekieia auanei ia, Ke hoohalua nei oe ia'u, me he liona la: A hoike hou mai oe ia oe iho he mana maluna o'u.
16And if it exalt itself, Thou huntest me as a lion; and again Thou showest Thyself marvellous upon me.
17Ke hoala hou nei oe i kou mau hoike ku e ia'u, A ke hoonui nei i kou inaina ia'u; A ke hoomahuahua mau nei na puali kaua ia'u.
17Thou renewest Thy witnesses against me, and increasest Thine indignation upon me; host succeeding host against me.
18No ke aha la hoi oe i lawe mai ai ia'u, mai ka opu mai: Ina ua make au ilaila, A ua ike ole ka maka ia'u!
18Wherefore then hast Thou brought me forth out of the womb? Would that I had perished, and no eye had seen me!
19Ina ua like au me he mea ola ole la, Ina ua laweia'ku au mai ka opu aku, a ka luakupapau.
19I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20Aole anei he uuku ko'u mau la? U'oki pela, a e waiho ia'u, i oluolu iki iho ai au,
20Are not my days few? Cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
21Mamua o kuu hele ana'ku i kahi aole au e hoi hou mai, I ka aina pouli, a me ka malu make;
21Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
22He aina poeleele e like me ka pouli; He malu make, aohe mea i hooponoponoia, A o ka malamalama, ua like ia me ka pouli.
22A land of thick darkness, as darkness itself; a land of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
