Ioba 17
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1U A paupauaho au, ua hookiia kuu mau la, Ua makaukau na halelua no'u.
1My spirit shall be wasted, my days shall be shortened, and only the grave remaineth for me.
2Aole anei he poe olelo hoino me au? A ke kau nei kuu maka ma ko lakou hoonaukiuki ana?
2I have not sinned, and my eye abideth in bitterness.
3E waiho iho ano, e hana mai ia'u i malu me oe; Owai ka mea e pai i na lima me au.
3Deliver me O Lord, and set me beside thee, and let any man’s hand fight against me.
4No ka mea, ua hoohuna oe i ka naauao mai ko lakou naau aku; Nolaila, aole oe e hookiekie ia lakou.
4Thou hast set their heart far from understanding, therefore they shall not be exalted.
5O ka mea e kumakaia i kona mau hoalauna no ka waiwai pio, E hoopauia na maka o kaua poe keiki.
5He promiseth a prey to his companions, and the eyes of his children shall 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 hath made me as it were a byword of the people, and I am an example before them.
7Ua ponalonalo kuu maka no ka uwe ana, A o kuu helehelena a pau ua like ia me ke aka.
7My eye is dim through indignation, and my limbs are brought as it were to nothing.
8E kahaha ka poe pono i keia, A e hooku e la mea hala ole i ka aia.
8The just shall be astonished at this, and the innocent shall be raised up against the hypocrite.
9E hoomau no ka mea pono i kona aoao, A o ka mea lima maemae, e hoomahuahua aku ia i ka ikaika.
9And the just man shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
10Aka, o oukou a pau, e hoi mai no, No ka mea, aole e loaa ia'u iwaena o oukou ka mea naauao.
10Wherefore be you all converted, and come, and I shall not find among you any wise man.
11Ua hala kuu mau la, ua okiia'ku kuu mau noonoo, O na manaolana o kuu naau.
11My days have passed away, my thoughts are dissipated, tormenting 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, and after darkness I hope for light again.
13Ina e kakali aku au, O ka luakupapau ko'u hale: Ua hohola aku au i kuu wahi moe ma ka pouli.
13If I wait hell is my house, and I have made 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.
14If I have said to rottenness: Thou art my father; to worms, my mother and my sister.
15Auhea hoi kuu manaolana? A o ko'u manaolana, owai la ka mea e ike aku ia?
15Where is now then my expectation, and who considereth my patience?
16E iho lakou i ua kaola o ka po, I ka wa e maha pu ana i ka lepo.
16All that I have shall go down into the deepest pit: thinkest thou that there at least I shall have rest?
