Ioba 15
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1A LAILA olelo aku o Elipaza, no Temana, i mai la,
1And Eliphaz the Themanite, answered, and said:
2E hai aku anei ka mea naauao i ka manao makani? A e hoopiha i kona opu i ka makani hikina?
2Will a wise man answer as if he were speaking in the wind, and fill his stomach with burning heat?
3E ao aku anei ia me ka olelo pono ole? A me na olelo kokua ole mai?
3Thou reprovest him by words, who is not equal to thee, and thou speakest that which is not good for thee.
4Aka, ua hoole oe i ka makau, A ua hooemi iho oe i ka pule imua o ke Akua,
4As much as is in thee, thou hast made void fear, and hast taken away prayers from before God.
5No ka mea, ke ao nei kou waha i kou hewa, A ke koho nei oe i ke alelo o ka poe maalea.
5For thy iniquity hath taught thy mouth, and thou imitatest the tongue of blasphemers.
6Ke hoohewa nei kou waha ia oe, aole owau; A ke hoike nei kou lehelehe ia oe.
6Thy own mouth shall condemn thee, and not I: and thy own lips shall answer thee.
7O oe anei ke kanaka makamua i hanau ai? Ua hanauia anei oe mamua o na puu?
7Art thou the first man that was born, or wast thou made before the hills?
8Ua lohe anei oe ma ka ahaolelo a ke Akua? A ke hoopaa nei anei oe i ka naauao ia oe iho?
8Hast thou heard God’s counsel, and shall his wisdom be inferior to thee?
9Heaha kau e ike nei, a ike ole makou ia? Heaha ka mea maopopo ia oe, aole hoi maloko o makou ia?
9What knowest thou that we are ignorant of? what dost thou understand that we know not?
10Me makou ke poohina a me ka mea kahiko, Ua oi aku ko lakou mau la mamua o ko kou makuakane.
10There are with us also aged and ancient men, much elder than thy fathers.
11He mea uuku anei ia oe na hooluolu o ke Akua? He mea huna anei kekahi ia oe?
11Is it a great matter that God should comfort thee? but thy wicked words hinder this.
12No ke aha la e lawe aku nei kou naau ia oe? A i ke aha hoi kou mau maka e imoimo mai nei,
12Why doth thy heart elevate thee, and why dost thou stare with thy eyes, as if they were thinking great things?
13I hoohuli ae ai oe i kou naau e ku e i ke Akua, A e hoopuka ae ia mau huaolelo mai kou waha mai?
13Why doth thy spirit swell against God, to utter such words out of thy mouth?
14Heaha ke kanaka, i maemae ai oia? A o ka mea i hanauia e ka wahine, i pono ai oia?
14What is man that he should be without spot, and he that is born of a woman that he should appear just?
15Aia hoi, aole ia e hilinai i kona poe hemolele; Aole hoi i maemae na lani i kona mau maka.
15Behold among his saints none is unchangeable, and the heavens are not pure in his sight.
16He oiaio hoi, ua hoopailuaia, a ua haumia hoi ke kanaka, Ka mea e inu ana i ka hewa me he wai la?
16How much more is man abominable, and unprofitable, who drinketh iniquity like water?
17E hai aku au ia oe, o hoolohe mai ia'u; A o ka mea a'u i ike ai, oia ka'u e hoike aku ana;
17I will shew thee, hear me: and I will tell thee what I have seen.
18Ka mea a ka poe naauao i hai mai, Aole hoi i huna, mai ko lakou poe makua mai:
18Wise men confess and hide not their fathers.
19No lakou wale no i haawiia ka honua, Aole i hele ka malihini iwaena o lakou.
19To whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger hath passed among them.
20I na la a pau, ua ehaeha ke kanaka hewa, A o ka huina o na makahiki, ua hunaia i ka mea hookaumaha.
20The wicked man is proud all his days, and the number of the years of his tyranny is uncertain.
21He leo hooweliweli maloko o kona pepeiao; Iloko ia o ka pomaikai, A e hele mai ka mea luku maluna ona.
21The sound of dread is always in his ears: and when there is peace, he always suspecteth treason.
22Aole ona manao e hoi hou mai, mailoko mai o ka pouli, A ua kakali oia i ka pahikaua.
22He believeth not that he may return from darkness to light, looking round about for the sword on every side.
23E auwana no ia i ka imi ai, Auhea ia? A ke ike nei no ia, ua makaukau ka la o ka pouli, ua kokoke.
23When he moveth himself to seek bread, he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
24E hoomakau ke kaumaha, a me ka popilikia ia ia; E lanakila laua maluna ona, me he alii la i makaukau no ke kaua.
24Tribulation shall terrify him, and distress shall surround him, as a king that is prepared for the battle.
25No ka mea, ua o ku e aku ia i kona lima i ke Akua, Ua hookiekie aku ia ia iho i ka Mea mana.
25For he hath stretched out his hand against God, and hath strengthened himself against the Almighty.
26Wahi aku no ia maluna ona me ka a-i aa, Me ka manoa o na niho o kaua palekaua:
26He hath run against him with his neck raised up, and is armed with a fat neck.
27No ka mea, ua hoouhi oia i kona maka me ka momona, A kau no ia i ka momona maluna o na puupaa.
27Fatness hath covered his face, and the fat hangeth down on his sides.
28A noho iho no ia i na kulanakauhale neoneo, Iloko o na hale, aohe mea noho ilaila, Na mea i makaukau e lilo i mau puu.
28He hath dwelt in desolate cities, and in desert houses that are reduced into heaps.
29Aole e hoolakoia oia, Aole hoi e mau kana waiwai, Aole hoi e hoopalahalaha i ka lakou loaa ma ka honua,
29He shall not be enriched, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he push his root in the earth.
30Aole ia e pakele mailoko mai o ka pouli; E hoomaloo ka lapalapa i kona mau lala, A e laweia'ku oia ma ka ha o kona waha.
30He shall not depart out of darkness: the flame shall dry up his branches, and he shall be taken away by the breath of his own month.
31O ka mea i puni, mai hilinai oia i ka mea lapuwale: No ka mea, e lilo ka lapuwale i uku nona.
31He shall not believe, being vainly deceived by error, that he may be redeemed with any price.
32Mamua o kona manawa, e okiia'ku ia, Aole e uliuli kona lala.
32Before his days be full he shall perish: and his hands shall wither away.
33E like me ke kumu waina, e hoohelelei ia i kona huawaina pala ole, A e like me ka laau oliva, e hoohaule ia i kona pua.
33He shall be blasted as a vine when its grapes are in the first flower, and as an olive tree that casteth its flower.
34No ka mea, e hua ole ka ohana a ka aia, A e hoopau ke ahi i na halelewa a ke kipe.
34For the congregation of the hypocrite is barren, and fire shall devour their tabernacles, who love to take bribes.
35Hapai lakou, he kolohe, a hanau mai, he hewa; A noonoo ko lakou opu i ka wahahee.
35He hath conceived sorrow, and hath brought forth iniquity, and his womb prepareth deceits.
