Ioba 13
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1A IA hoi, ua ike ko'u maka i keia mea a pau, Ua lohe kuu pepeiao, a ua hoomaopopo hoi ia mea.
1Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.
2E like me ka oukou ike, pela no hoi ka'u e ike nei; Aole wau i emi iho malalo o oukou.
2What ye know, do I know also; I am not inferior unto you.
3Aka, e olelo aku no au i ka Mea mana, A ke ake nei au e olelo hoakaka pu me ke Akua.
3Notwithstanding I would 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.
4But ye are plasterers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
5Ina paha e noho malie loa oukou! E lilo auanei ia i naauao no oukou.
5Oh that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it would be your wisdom.
6E hoolohe oukou ano i kuu hoakaka ana, A e haliu mai i na paapaa ana o kuu mau lehelehe.
6Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
7E olelo hewa anei oukou no ke Akua? A e kamailio wahahee anei oukou nona?
7Will ye speak unrighteously for God, and talk deceitfully for Him?
8E nana anei oukou ma kona helehelena? E hakaka anei oukou no ke Akua?
8Will ye show Him favour? Will ye contend 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?
9Would it be good that He should search you out? Or as one mocketh a man, will ye mock Him?
10E ao io mai no kela ia oukou, Ke nana malu oukou ma na helehelena.
10He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly show favour.
11Aole anei e hoomakau mai kona kiekie ia oukou? A e kau mai kona makau maluna o oukou?
11Shall not His majesty terrify you, and His dread fall upon you?
12Ua like ka oukou olelo akamai me ka lehu, A o ko oukou puukaua me ka puukaua lepo.
12Your memorials shall be like unto ashes, your eminences to eminences of 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, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.
14No ke aha la i lawe ai au i kuu io ma ko'u niho, A e waiho i kuu ola ma kuu lima?
14Wherefore? I will take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand.
15Ina e pepehi mai oia ia'u, e hilinai no au ia ia, Aka, e hoapono aku au i kuu aoao imua ona.
15Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him; but I will argue my ways before Him.
16E lilo hoi ia i ola no'u; No ka mea, aole e hele mai ka aia imua ona.
16This also shall be my salvation, that a hypocrite cannot come before Him.
17E hoolohe pono oukou i kuu wahi olelo, A me kuu hai ana'ku i ko oukou pepeiao.
17Hear diligently my speech, and let my declaration be in your ears.
18Aia hoi ano, ua hoomakaukau au i kuu aoao; Ua ike au, e hoaponoia mai au.
18Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
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 contend with me? For then would I hold my peace and die.
20Aka, mai hana mai oe i na mea elua ia'u; Alaila aole au e huna ia'u iho mai ou aku la.
20Only do not two things unto me, then will I not hide myself from Thee:
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 terror make me afraid.
22Alaila e kahea mai oe, a eo aku au; A o olelo aku paha wau, a e olelo hou mai oe ia'u.
22Then call Thou, and I will answer; or let me speak, and answer Thou 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 mine iniquities and sins? Make me to know my transgression and my sin.
24No ke aha la oe e huna ae ai i kou maka, A e manao mai ai ia'u he ememi nou?
24Wherefore hidest Thou Thy face, and holdest me for Thine enemy?
25E hooweliweli mai anei oe i ka lau i puhiia io ia nei? E alualu anei oe i ka opala maloo?
25Wilt Thou harass a driven leaf? And wilt Thou pursue the dry stubble?
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.
26That Thou shouldest write bitter things against me, and make me to inherit the iniquities 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 puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; Thou drawest Thee a line about the soles of my feet;
28A ua hoopauia oia me ho mea popopo la, A me he lole la i aiia e ka mu.
28Though I am like a wine-skin that consumeth, like a garment that is moth-eaten.
