Ioba 17
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1U A paupauaho au, ua hookiia kuu mau la, Ua makaukau na halelua no'u.
1“My spirit is broken; my days are extinguished; the grave awaits me.
2Aole anei he poe olelo hoino me au? A ke kau nei kuu maka ma ko lakou hoonaukiuki ana?
2Surely mockers surround me, and my eyes must gaze at their rebellion.
3E waiho iho ano, e hana mai ia'u i malu me oe; Owai ka mea e pai i na lima me au.
3Give me, I pray, the pledge You demand. Who else will be my guarantor?
4No ka mea, ua hoohuna oe i ka naauao mai ko lakou naau aku; Nolaila, aole oe e hookiekie ia lakou.
4You have closed their minds to understanding; therefore You will not exalt them.
5O ka mea e kumakaia i kona mau hoalauna no ka waiwai pio, E hoopauia na maka o kaua poe keiki.
5If a man denounces his friends for a price, the eyes of his children will fail.
6Ua hooku mai oia ia'u i mea e olelo nane ia e na kanaka; A ua lilo au i mea hoopailua imua o lakou.
6He has made me a byword among the people, a man in whose face they spit.
7Ua ponalonalo kuu maka no ka uwe ana, A o kuu helehelena a pau ua like ia me ke aka.
7My eyes have grown dim with grief, and my whole body is but a shadow.
8E kahaha ka poe pono i keia, A e hooku e la mea hala ole i ka aia.
8The upright are appalled at this, and the innocent are stirred against the godless.
9E hoomau no ka mea pono i kona aoao, A o ka mea lima maemae, e hoomahuahua aku ia i ka ikaika.
9Yet a righteous one holds to his way, and the one with clean hands grows stronger.
10Aka, o oukou a pau, e hoi mai no, No ka mea, aole e loaa ia'u iwaena o oukou ka mea naauao.
10But come back and try again, all of you. For I will not find a wise man among you.
11Ua hala kuu mau la, ua okiia'ku kuu mau noonoo, O na manaolana o kuu naau.
11My days have passed; my plans are broken off— even the desires of my heart.
12Ua hoololi lakou i ka po i ao, O ka malamalama, ua pokole ia no ka pouli.
12They have turned night into day, making light seem near in the face of darkness.
13Ina e kakali aku au, O ka luakupapau ko'u hale: Ua hohola aku au i kuu wahi moe ma ka pouli.
13If I look for Sheol as my home, if I spread out my bed in darkness,
14Ua kapa aku au i ka palaho, O oe ko'u makuakane, A i ka ilo, O oe ko'u makuwahine, a me ko'u kaikuwahine.
14and say to corruption, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ or ‘My sister,’
15Auhea hoi kuu manaolana? A o ko'u manaolana, owai la ka mea e ike aku ia?
15where then is my hope? Who can see any hope for me?
16E iho lakou i ua kaola o ka po, I ka wa e maha pu ana i ka lepo.
16Will it go down to the gates of Sheol? Will we go down together into the dust?”
