Ioba 13
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1A IA hoi, ua ike ko'u maka i keia mea a pau, Ua lohe kuu pepeiao, a ua hoomaopopo hoi ia mea.
1Behold my eye hath seen all these things, and my ear hath heard them, and I have understood them all.
2E like me ka oukou ike, pela no hoi ka'u e ike nei; Aole wau i emi iho malalo o oukou.
2According to your knowledge I also know: neither am I inferior to you.
3Aka, e olelo aku no au i ka Mea mana, A ke ake nei au e olelo hoakaka pu me ke Akua.
3But yet I will speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.
4A o oukou nae, he poe noonoo i ka wahahee, He poe kahuna lapuwale oukou a pau.
4Having first shewn that you are forgers of lies, and maintainers of perverse opinions.
5Ina paha e noho malie loa oukou! E lilo auanei ia i naauao no oukou.
5And I wish you would hold your peace, that you might be thought to be wise men.
6E hoolohe oukou ano i kuu hoakaka ana, A e haliu mai i na paapaa ana o kuu mau lehelehe.
6Hear ye therefore my reproof, and attend to the judgment of my lips.
7E olelo hewa anei oukou no ke Akua? A e kamailio wahahee anei oukou nona?
7Hath God any need of your lie, that you should speak deceitfully for him?
8E nana anei oukou ma kona helehelena? E hakaka anei oukou no ke Akua?
8Do you accept his person, and do you endeavour to judge for God?
9He mea maikai anei e hulihuli mai oia ia oukou? A e like me ka ke kanaka e hoopunipuni ai i kekahi, Pela anei oukou e hoopunipuni ai ia ia?
9Or shall it please him, from whom nothing can be concealed? or shall he be deceived as a man, with your deceitful dealings?
10E ao io mai no kela ia oukou, Ke nana malu oukou ma na helehelena.
10He shall reprove you, because in secret you accept his person.
11Aole anei e hoomakau mai kona kiekie ia oukou? A e kau mai kona makau maluna o oukou?
11As soon as he shall move himself, he shall trouble you: and his dread shall fall upon you.
12Ua like ka oukou olelo akamai me ka lehu, A o ko oukou puukaua me ka puukaua lepo.
12Your remembrance shall be compared to ashes, and your necks shall be brought to clay.
13E hamau oukou imua o'u, a e olelo aku au, A o ka mea e hele mai ana maluna o'u e hele mai no ia.
13Hold your peace a little while, that I may speak whatsoever my mind shall suggest to me.
14No ke aha la i lawe ai au i kuu io ma ko'u niho, A e waiho i kuu ola ma kuu lima?
14Why do I tear my flesh with my teeth, and carry my soul in my hands?
15Ina e pepehi mai oia ia'u, e hilinai no au ia ia, Aka, e hoapono aku au i kuu aoao imua ona.
15Although he should bill me, I will trust in him: but yet I will reprove my ways in his sight.
16E lilo hoi ia i ola no'u; No ka mea, aole e hele mai ka aia imua ona.
16And he shall be my saviour: for no hypocrite shall come before his presence.
17E hoolohe pono oukou i kuu wahi olelo, A me kuu hai ana'ku i ko oukou pepeiao.
17Hear ye my speech, and receive with Sour ears hidden truths.
18Aia hoi ano, ua hoomakaukau au i kuu aoao; Ua ike au, e hoaponoia mai au.
18If I shall be judged, I know that I shall be found just.
19Owai la ka mea e hoopaapaa pu me au? No ka mea, ano, e noho malie wau, a e make no.
19Who is he that will plead against me? let him come: why am I consumed holding my peace?
20Aka, mai hana mai oe i na mea elua ia'u; Alaila aole au e huna ia'u iho mai ou aku la.
20Two things only do not to me, and then from thy face I shall not be hid:
21E hemo aku i kou lima mai o'u aku la: A mai hooweliweli mai kou makau ia'u.
21Withdraw thy hand far from me, and let not thy dread terrify me.
22Alaila e kahea mai oe, a eo aku au; A o olelo aku paha wau, a e olelo hou mai oe ia'u.
22Call me, and I will answer thee: or else I will speak, and do thou answer me.
23Ehia na hala o u a me na hewa? E hoike mai oe ia'u i kuu lawehala ana a me kuu hewa.
23How many are my iniquities and sins? make me know my crimes and offences.
24No ke aha la oe e huna ae ai i kou maka, A e manao mai ai ia'u he ememi nou?
24Why hidest thou thy face, and thinkest me thy enemy?
25E hooweliweli mai anei oe i ka lau i puhiia io ia nei? E alualu anei oe i ka opala maloo?
25Against a leaf, that is carried away with the wind, thou shewest thy power, and thou pursuest a dry straw.
26No ka mea, ke kakau nei oe i na mea awaawa ia'u, A ke hoopai mai nei oe ia'u i na hewa o kuu wa opio.
26For thou writest bitter things against me, and wilt consume me for the sins of my youth.
27Ke hookomo nei oe i ko'u mau waewae ma ka laau kupee, A ke makai nei i ko'u mau aoao a pau: Ke kahakaha nei no oe a puni na kapawai o'u.
27Thou hast put my feet in the stocks, and hast observed all my paths, and hast considered the steps of my feet:
28A ua hoopauia oia me ho mea popopo la, A me he lole la i aiia e ka mu.
28Who am to be consumed as rottenness, and as a garment that is moth-eaten.
