Ioba 13
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
World English Bible
1A IA hoi, ua ike ko'u maka i keia mea a pau, Ua lohe kuu pepeiao, a ua hoomaopopo hoi ia mea.
1“Behold, my eye has seen all this. My ear has 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 you know, I know also. I am not 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.
3“Surely I would speak to the Almighty. I desire to reason with God.
4A o oukou nae, he poe noonoo i ka wahahee, He poe kahuna lapuwale oukou a pau.
4But you are forgers of lies. You are all physicians of no value.
5Ina paha e noho malie loa oukou! E lilo auanei ia i naauao no oukou.
5Oh that you would be completely silent! Then you would be wise.
6E hoolohe oukou ano i kuu hoakaka ana, A e haliu mai i na paapaa ana o kuu mau lehelehe.
6Hear now my reasoning. Listen to the pleadings of my lips.
7E olelo hewa anei oukou no ke Akua? A e kamailio wahahee anei oukou nona?
7Will you speak unrighteously for God, and talk deceitfully for him?
8E nana anei oukou ma kona helehelena? E hakaka anei oukou no ke Akua?
8Will you show partiality to him? Will you 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?
9Is it good that he should search you out? Or as one deceives a man, will you deceive him?
10E ao io mai no kela ia oukou, Ke nana malu oukou ma na helehelena.
10He will surely reprove you if you secretly show partiality.
11Aole anei e hoomakau mai kona kiekie ia oukou? A e kau mai kona makau maluna o oukou?
11Won’t his majesty make you afraid and his dread fall on you?
12Ua like ka oukou olelo akamai me ka lehu, A o ko oukou puukaua me ka puukaua lepo.
12Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes. Your defenses are defenses 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.
13“Be silent! Leave me alone, that I may speak. 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?
14Why should I 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.
15Behold, he will kill me. I have no hope. Nevertheless, I will maintain 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 will be my salvation, that a godless man will not come before him.
17E hoolohe pono oukou i kuu wahi olelo, A me kuu hai ana'ku i ko oukou pepeiao.
17Listen carefully to my speech. Let my declaration be in your ears.
18Aia hoi ano, ua hoomakaukau au i kuu aoao; Ua ike au, e hoaponoia mai au.
18See now, I have set my cause in order. I know that I am righteous.
19Owai la ka mea e hoopaapaa pu me au? No ka mea, ano, e noho malie wau, a e make no.
19Who is he who will contend with me? For then I would hold my peace and give up the spirit.
20Aka, mai hana mai oe i na mea elua ia'u; Alaila aole au e huna ia'u iho mai ou aku la.
20“Only don’t do two things to me, then I will not hide myself from your face:
21E hemo aku i kou lima mai o'u aku la: A mai hooweliweli mai kou makau ia'u.
21withdraw your hand far from me, and don’t let your 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, and I will answer, or let me speak, and you 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 disobedience 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?
24Why do you hide your face, and consider me your enemy?
25E hooweliweli mai anei oe i ka lau i puhiia io ia nei? E alualu anei oe i ka opala maloo?
25Will you harass a driven leaf? Will you 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.
26For you write bitter things against me, and make me 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.
27You also put my feet in the stocks, and mark all my paths. You set a bound to 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 decaying like a rotten thing, like a garment that is moth-eaten.
