Ioba 14
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
World English Bible
1O KE kanaka i hanauia e ka wahine. He hapa kona mau la, a ua piha i ka popilikia.
1“Man, who 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 grows up like a flower, and is cut down. He also flees like a shadow, and doesn’t continue.
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?
3Do you open your eyes on such a one, and bring me into judgment with you?
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 is with you, and you have appointed his bounds that he can’t 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.
6Look away from him, that he may rest, until he accomplishes, as a 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.
7“For there is hope for a tree if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, that the tender branch of it will not cease.
8Ina ua elemakule kona aa ma ka honua, A ua make hoi kona kumu ma ka lepo;
8Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stock dies 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 sprout 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 dies, and is laid low. Yes, man gives up the spirit, 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 river wastes and dries 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 lies down and doesn’t rise. Until the heavens are no more, they will not awake, nor be roused 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!
13“Oh that you would hide me in Sheol, that you would keep me secret until your wrath is past, that you would 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 dies, will he live again? I would wait all the days of my warfare, until my release should 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.
15You would call, and I would answer you. You would have a desire for the work of your hands.
16No ka mea, ano ke helu nei oe i kuu mau kapuwai; Aole anei oe e kiai mai nei i ko'u hewa?
16But now you count my steps. Don’t you watch over my sin?
17Ua hoopaaia kuu hewa iloko o ka aa, Ua imi hala oe i kuu hewa.
17My disobedience is sealed up in a bag. You fasten up my iniquity.
18A he oiaio, o ka mauna e hiolo ana, moe mau no ia, A ua hooneeia ka pohaku mai kona wahi aku.
18“But the mountain falling comes to nothing. The rock is removed out of its 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. The torrents of it wash away the dust of the earth. So you destroy 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.
20You forever prevail against him, and he departs. You change his face, and send him away.
21Ua hoohanohanoia kana keiki, aole oia i ike: A ua hoohaahaaia lakou, aole ia i noonoo no lakou.
21His sons come to honor, and he doesn’t know it. They are brought low, but he doesn’t perceive it of them.
22Aka, e hui kona io maluna ona, A e uwe kona naau iloko ona.
22But his flesh on him has pain, and his soul within him mourns.”
