Ioba 17
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
World English Bible
1U A paupauaho au, ua hookiia kuu mau la, Ua makaukau na halelua no'u.
1“My spirit is consumed. My days are extinct and the grave is ready for me.
2Aole anei he poe olelo hoino me au? A ke kau nei kuu maka ma ko lakou hoonaukiuki ana?
2Surely there are mockers with me. My eye dwells on 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.
3“Now give a pledge. Be collateral for me with yourself. Who is there who 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 you have hidden their heart from 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.
5He who denounces his friends for plunder, even 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.
6“But he has made me a byword of the people. They spit in my face.
7Ua ponalonalo kuu maka no ka uwe ana, A o kuu helehelena a pau ua like ia me ke aka.
7My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow. 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 will be astonished at this. The innocent will stir himself up 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 the righteous will hold to his way. He who has clean hands will grow 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, come back. 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 are past. My plans are broken off, as are 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, saying ‘The light is near’ in the presence 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 house, if I have spread my couch 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.
14if I have said to corruption, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ and ‘My sister,’
15Auhea hoi kuu manaolana? A o ko'u manaolana, owai la ka mea e ike aku ia?
15where then is my hope? As for my hope, who will see it?
16E iho lakou i ua kaola o ka po, I ka wa e maha pu ana i ka lepo.
16Shall it go down with me to the gates of Sheol, or descend together into the dust?”
