Ioba 11
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1A LAILA olelo aku la o Zopara ka Naamata, i aku la,
1Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
2Aole anei e pono ke pane aku i na huaolelo he nui la? E hoaponoia anei ke kanaka lehelehe wale?
2Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
3E paa anei ka waha o kanaka i kou kaena wale ana? A hoomaewaewa mai oe, aole anei he mea nana oe e hoohilahila aku?
3Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
4A ua olelo mai oe, he maemae kuu olelo, A ua hala ole au i kou mau maka.
4For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
5Ina paha e olelo mai ke Akua, A e wehe ae i kona lehelehe ia oe;
5But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
6A e hoike mai oia ia oe i na mea huna o ka naauao, Ua papalua ka maiau! Alaila e ike auanei oe, E hoopoina mai no ke Akua i na hewa ou.
6And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth .
7E loaa anei ia oe ka ke Akua mau mea hohonu? E loaa pololei loa anei ia oe ka Mea mana?
7Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
8Ua kiekie ia e like me ka lani; heaha kau e hana ai? Ua oi kona hohonu i ko ka po; heaha kau e ike ai?
8It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
9Ua oi kona loa mamua o ko ka honua, A o ka laula imua o ko ke kai.
9The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
10Ina e hopu mai ia, a hoopaa iho, a hookolokolo, Alaila owai la ka mea e keakea ia ia?
10If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
11No ka mea, ua ike no ia i ka poe hewa, Ua nana mai hoi ia i ka hala; Aole anei ia e ike mai?
11For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it ?
12E ake ke kanaka naaupo i akamai, O ke kanaka i hanau nae me he keiki la a ka hoki hihiu.
12For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass’s colt.
13Ina e hoomakaukau oe i kou naau, A e kikoo aku i kou mau lima io na la;
13If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
14Ina he hewa iloko o kou lima, e hoolei loa aku ia; A mai ae e noho ka hewa ma kou mau halelewa.
14If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
15Alaila e hoala ae oe i kou maka me ke kina ole; A e ku paa no oe, aole hoi e makau:
15For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
16No ka mea, e hoopoina no oe i ka ehaeha, A e hoomanao ia mea, e like me ka wai i kahe aku:
16Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:
17A e kupaa kou ola loa ana, e like me ke awakea; Ano ua pouli oe, alaila e like no oe me ke kakahiaka.
17And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
18A e maluhia oe, no ka mea, he mea no e laua ai ka manao; Ano ua poho ka manao, aka, alaila, e noho maluhia oe.
18And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
19A e moe iho oe ilalo, aohe mea nana oe e hoomakau mai; A nui na mea e hoalohaloha imua ou.
19Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
20Aka, e pio na maka o ka poe hewa, A ua nele lakou i ka puuhonua, A o ko lakou manaolana, o ke kuu ana no ia o ka uhane.
20But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
