Ioba 14
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1O KE kanaka i hanauia e ka wahine. He hapa kona mau la, a ua piha i ka popilikia.
1Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
2Puka mai no ia me he pua la, a ua okiia aku; A holo aku no ia me he aka la, aole ia e mau.
2He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
3A ke kau anei oe i kou mau maka maluna o ka mea like me ia, A e lawe mai ia'u i ka hookolokoloia ana e oe?
3And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?
4Owai ka mea e unuhi ae i ka mea maemae mai o ka mea haumia? aole kekahi.
4Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
5No ka mea, ua heluia kona mau la, A ia oe no ka huina o kona mau malama, Ua hoonoho oe i kona mau mokuna, i hiki ole ai ia ke ae aku;
5Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
6E nana ae oe mai ona aku la, i hoomaha iho ai ia, A hauoli ia i kona ia, me he mea hoolimalima la.
6Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.
7No ka mea, a i kuaia ka laau, He manao no nona, e ulu hou auanei, Aole hoi e pau na lala hou.
7For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
8Ina ua elemakule kona aa ma ka honua, A ua make hoi kona kumu ma ka lepo;
8Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
9Aka, no ka honi ana i ka wai e kupu ae ia, A e hookupu aku i na lala, me he laau kanu la,
9Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
10Aka, o ke kanaka, e make no ia, a e nalowale aku; Oia, e make ana no ke kanaka, auhea la oia?
10But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
11E like me ka maloo ana o na wai, mai ke kai aku, A me ka emi ana o ka muliwai, a maloo iho;
11As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:
12Pela e moe iho ai ke kanaka, aole ku hou ae; Aole lakou e ala hou mai, a pau aku na lani, Aole hoi e hooku hou ia, mai ko lakou hiamoe ana.
12So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
13E pono e waiho iho oe ia'u iloko o ka luakupapau, A e huna oe ia'u, a hala aku kou huhu, A e hoakaka mai no'u i ka manawa pono, a e hoomanao mai ia'u!
13O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
14Ina e make ke kanaka, e ola hou anei oia? O na la a pau o ko'u kaua ana ka'u e kali ai, A hiki mai ko'u manawa.
14If a man die, shall he live again ? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
15E kahea mai oe ia'u, a e hoolohe aku no au ia oe: A e aloha mai no oe i ka hana a kou mau lima.
15Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.
16No ka mea, ano ke helu nei oe i kuu mau kapuwai; Aole anei oe e kiai mai nei i ko'u hewa?
16For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
17Ua hoopaaia kuu hewa iloko o ka aa, Ua imi hala oe i kuu hewa.
17My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.
18A he oiaio, o ka mauna e hiolo ana, moe mau no ia, A ua hooneeia ka pohaku mai kona wahi aku.
18And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place.
19Ke anai nei na wai i na pohaku; O kona wai nui, ua hoopau aku ia i ka lepo o ka aina; Pela oe e hoomake nei i ka manaolana o ke kanaka.
19The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.
20Ke lanakila mau nei oe maluna ona, a hele aku no ia: Ke boopahaohao nei oe i kona maka, a hoouna aku ia ia.
20Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
21Ua hoohanohanoia kana keiki, aole oia i ike: A ua hoohaahaaia lakou, aole ia i noonoo no lakou.
21His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
22Aka, e hui kona io maluna ona, A e uwe kona naau iloko ona.
22But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
