Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
World English Bible
1A LAILA olelo aku o Biledada, no Suha, i mai la,
1Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
2Ahea la e hoopau oe i na huaolelo? E noonoo, a mahope iho e olelo aku makou.
2“How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
3No ke aha la e mauaoia makou, e like me ua holoholona, A ua haumia imua o kou mau maka?
3Why are we counted as animals, which have become unclean in your sight?
4Haehae no oia ia ia iho ma kona huhu: E haaleleia anei ka honua nou? A e hooneeia aku anei ka pohaku mai kona wahi aku?
4You who tear yourself in your anger, will the earth be forsaken for you? Or will the rock be removed out of its place?
5O ka malamalama o ka poe hewa e pio ana no ia, Aole hoi e hoomalamalama mai ka lapalapa o kona ahi.
5“Yes, the light of the wicked will be put out. The spark of his fire won’t shine.
6O ka malamalama he pouli ia iloko o kona halelewa, A o kona kukui me ia, e pio no ia.
6The light will be dark in his tent. His lamp above him will be put out.
7E hoopilikiaia kona hele ikaika, A e hookulaina kona noonoo ana ia ia.
7The steps of his strength will be shortened. His own counsel will cast him down.
8No ka mea, ua hooheiia oia i ka upena ma kona wawae, A e hele ana no ia maluna o ka pahele.
8For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he wanders into its mesh.
9E hoopaa ke kipuka ia ia ma ke kuekuewawae, E hanapaa hoi ke pahele ia ia.
9A snare will take him by the heel. A trap will catch him.
10Ua hunaia ma ka lepo ke pahele nona, A me ka upiki nona ma ke ala.
10A noose is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him on the path.
11Ua hooweliweli na mea makau ia ia a puni, A e alualu ia ia ma kona wawae.
11Terrors will make him afraid on every side, and will chase him at his heels.
12E nawaliwali kona ikaika no ka pololi, A e makaukau ka make ma kona aoao.
12His strength will be famished. Calamity will be ready at his side.
13E ai no ia i na apana o kona ili, O ka hanau mua o ka make, e hoopau no ia i kona mau lala.
13The members of his body will be devoured. The firstborn of death will devour his members.
14E kailiia kona mea i paa ai, mai kona halelewa aku, A e lawe aku no ia ia ia i ke alii weliweli.
14He will be rooted out of the security of his tent. He will be brought to the king of terrors.
15E noho no ia mea iloko o kona halelewa, no ka mea, aohe nona ia; E luluia ka luaipele maluna o kona hale.
15There will dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Sulfur will be scattered on his habitation.
16Malalo e maloo kona mau aa, A maluna e okiia'ku kona lala.
16His roots will be dried up beneath. His branch will be cut off above.
17E nalowale kona hoomanaoia mai ka honua aku, Aole inoa nona ma ke alanui.
17His memory will perish from the earth. He will have no name in the street.
18E hookuke aku lakou ia ia mai ka malamalama a i ka pouli, A e alualu ia ia mai ka honua aku.
18He will be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
19Aohe ana keiki, aohe hoi mamo mawaena o kona poe kanaka, Aole hoi he mea i koe iloko o kona mau hale.
19He will have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining where he lived.
20O na hanauna mahope e kahaha lakou no kona manawa, A loaa i na kupuna ka makau.
20Those who come after will be astonished at his day, as those who went before were frightened.
21He oiaio, oia na wahi noho o ka poe hewa, A oia kahi o ka mea ike ole i ke Akua.
21Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous. This is the place of him who doesn’t know God.”
