Ioba 16
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1A LAILA olelo mai la o Ioba, i mai la,
1Then Job answered:
2He nui na mea like a'u i lohe ai: He poe hooluolu hoopilikia oukou a pau.
2“I have heard many things like these; miserable comforters are you all.
3He hope anei no na huaolelo makani? Heaha ka mea hoala mai nei ia oe, i olelo mai ai oe?
3Is there no end to your long-winded speeches? What provokes you to continue testifying?
4E hiki no ia'u ke olelo aku e like me ka oukou; Ina paha ua noho oukou ma ko'u wahi. E hiki no ia'u ke hookui i ka olelo ku e ia oukou; A e hooluliluli aku i ko'u poo ia oukou.
4I could also speak like you if you were in my place; I could heap up words against you and shake my head at you.
5Aka, e hookupaa no au ia oukou me kuu waha, A o ka hooluolu ana o kuu lehelehe, e hoopaa aku no ia.
5But I would encourage you with my mouth, and the consolation of my lips would bring relief.
6Ina e olelo aku au, aole e oluolu kuu eha; Ina e noho malie hoi au, pehea ia e haalele ai ia'u?
6Even if I speak, my pain is not relieved, and if I hold back, how will it go away?
7Aka, ano ua hooluhi mai ia ia'u; Ua luku mai oe i ko'u ohana a pau.
7Surely He has now exhausted me; You have devastated all my family.
8Ua hoopaa mai oe ia'u, i mea hoike; O kuu wiwi, ke ku mai no ia ia'u, A e hoike mai imua o kuu maka.
8You have bound me, and it has become a witness; my frailty rises up and testifies against me.
9Ke haehae mai nei kona huhu, a ua inaina mai ia ia'u; Ke nau mai nei ia ia'u me kona mau niho; O kuu enemi, ke hookala nei ia i kona mau maka maluna o'u.
9His anger has torn me and opposed me; He gnashes His teeth at me. My adversary pierces me with His eyes.
10Ua hamama lakou maluna o'u me ko lakou waha; Ua papai lakou ia'u ma ka papalina me ka hoino: Ua hoakoakoaia lakou ma kahi hookahi e ku e ia'u.
10They open their mouths against me and strike my cheeks with contempt; they join together against me.
11Ua hoolilo ke Akua ia'u i ka poe hewa, A ua haawi ia'u iloko o ka lima o ka poe aia.
11God has delivered me to unjust men; He has thrown me to the clutches of the wicked.
12I noho maluhia la no wan, aka, ua ulupa mai nei ia ia'u; Ua lalau mai ia ma kuu a-i, a ulupa mai no ia ia'u, Ua hooku mai ia'u i hoailona nona.
12I was at ease, but He shattered me; He seized me by the neck and crushed me. He has set me up as His target;
13Ua hoopuni kona poe panapua ia'u, Ua wahi mai ia i na puupaa o'u, aole e hookuu ae; Ua ninini iho ia i kuu au ma ka honua.
13His archers surround me. He pierces my kidneys without mercy and spills my gall on the ground.
14Ua wawahi roai ia ia'u, me ka wahi ana mahope o ka wahi ana, Ua lele mai ia maluna o'u me he mea ikaika la.
14He breaks me with wound upon wound; He rushes me like a mighty warrior.
15Ua humuhumu au i ke kapa ino maluna o kuu ili, Ua hoohaumia au i kuu pepeiaohao iloko o ka lepo.
15I have sewn sackcloth over my skin; I have buried my horn in the dust.
16Ua ulaula kuu maka i ka uwe ana, A maluna o ko'u mau lihilihi maka ke aka o ka make.
16My face is red with weeping, and deep shadows ring my eyes;
17Aole no ka mea pono ole iloko o ko'u lima; A o ka'u pule, ua maemae hoi ia.
17yet my hands are free of violence and my prayer is pure.
18E ka honua, mai uhi oe i ko'u koko, Aole hoi e haawi i wahi no kuu uwe ana.
18O earth, do not cover my blood; may my cry for help never be laid to rest.
19Ano hoi, aia ma ka lani kuu mea ike maka, A o kuu mea hoike ma na wahi kiekie.
19Even now my witness is in heaven, and my advocate is on high.
20O kuu poe hoino, o ko'u mau makamaka no ia: Ke hu aku nei kuu maka i ke Akua.
20My friends are my scoffers as my eyes pour out tears to God.
21Ina he mea e uwao me ke Akua no ke kanaka, E like me ke kanaka no kona hoalauna!
21Oh, that a man might plead with God as he pleads with his neighbor!
22A hala he hapa na makahiki, Alaila e hele aku au i ke ala aole au e hoi hou mai.
22For when only a few years are past I will go the way of no return.
