Ioba 17
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1U A paupauaho au, ua hookiia kuu mau la, Ua makaukau na halelua no'u.
1My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.
2Aole anei he poe olelo hoino me au? A ke kau nei kuu maka ma ko lakou hoonaukiuki ana?
2Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?
3E waiho iho ano, e hana mai ia'u i malu me oe; Owai ka mea e pai i na lima me au.
3Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?
4No ka mea, ua hoohuna oe i ka naauao mai ko lakou naau aku; Nolaila, aole oe e hookiekie ia lakou.
4For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them .
5O ka mea e kumakaia i kona mau hoalauna no ka waiwai pio, E hoopauia na maka o kaua poe keiki.
5He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even 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 also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.
7Ua ponalonalo kuu maka no ka uwe ana, A o kuu helehelena a pau ua like ia me ke aka.
7Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
8E kahaha ka poe pono i keia, A e hooku e la mea hala ole i ka aia.
8Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself 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.
9The righteous also 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.
10But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.
11Ua hala kuu mau la, ua okiia'ku kuu mau noonoo, O na manaolana o kuu naau.
11My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
12Ua hoololi lakou i ka po i ao, O ka malamalama, ua pokole ia no ka pouli.
12They change the night into day: the light is short because 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 wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the 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.
14I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
15Auhea hoi kuu manaolana? A o ko'u manaolana, owai la ka mea e ike aku ia?
15And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
16E iho lakou i ua kaola o ka po, I ka wa e maha pu ana i ka lepo.
16They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.
