1A LAILA olelo mai o Ioba, i mai la,
1Then Job answered and said:
2Pehea la ka loihi e hoeha mai ai oukou i kuu uhane, A e haihai mai ia'u ma na olelo?
2How long will ye vex my soul, and crush me with words?
3Eia ka umi o ka oukou olelo ino mai ia'u; Aole oukou i hilahila, ke hookulikuli oukou ia'u;
3These ten times have ye reproached me; ye are not ashamed that ye deal harshly with me.
4Ina he oiaio, he lalau ko'u, Ke waiho nei me au kuu lalau ana.
4And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.
5Ina he oiaio, e hookiekie oukou e ku e ia'u, A e ao mai ia'u i kuu hoinoia:
5If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach;
6E ike oukou ano, ua hookahuli mai ke Akua ia'u, A ua hoopuni mai ia'u i kana upena.
6Know now that God hath subverted my cause, and hath compassed me with His net.
7Aia hoi, ke kahea aku nei au no ka hana ino ia, aole au i hooloheia mai; Ke hea nui aku nei an, aohe hooponopono.
7Behold, I cry out: 'Violence!' but I am not heard; I cry aloud, but there is no justice.
8Ua alalai mai ia i ko'u ala, aole au e hiki ke hele aku, A ua kau no ia i ka pouli ma kuu mau alanui.
8He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and hath set darkness in my paths.
9Ua hao mai ia ia'u i kuu nani, Ua lawe hoi i ka leialii mai kuu poo aku.
9He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
10Ua luku mai ia ia'u a puni, a ua pau hoi au; A ua uhuki ae ia i kuu manaolana, me he laau la,
10He hath broken me down on every side, and I am gone; and my hope hath He plucked up like a tree.
11Ua hoaa no ia i kona inaina ia'u, A ua manao no ia'u me kona poe enemi.
11He hath also kindled His wrath against me, and He counteth me unto Him as one of His adversaries.
12Hoakoakoaia kona poe koa, A hoouka ae lakou i ko lakou kuamoo ia'u, A hoomoana lakou a puni ko'u halelewa.
12His troops come on together, and cast up their way against me, and encamp round about my tent.
13Ua hoomamao aku ia i ko'u mau hoahanau mai o'u aku la, A o ko'u mau hoalauna, ua hoomaka e lakou ia'u.
13He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are wholly estranged from me.
14Ua haalele kuu mau hoa pili ia'u, A o kuu poe makamaka, ua hoopoina lakou ia'u.
14My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
15O ka poe e noho ana ma kuu hale, a me na kauwawahine a'u, manao mai lakou ia'u he malihini: He kanaka e no wau i ko lakou mau maka.
15They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger; I am become an alien in their sight.
16Kahea aku au i ka'u kauwa, aole ia e o mai; Nonoi aku au ia ia me kuu waha.
16I call unto my servant, and he giveth me no answer, though I entreat him with my mouth.
17Ua ano e kuu hanu i ka'u wahine, A me kuu uwe ana i na keiki o kuu kino.
17My breath is abhorred of my wife, and I am loathsome to the children of my tribe.
18O na keiki liilii, hoowahawaha lakou ia'u; Ku no wau iluna, a olelo ku e mai lakou ia'u.
18Even urchins despised me; if I arise, they speak against me.
19O na hoa kuka o'u a pau, ua hoopailua lakou ia'u; A o ka poe a'u i aloha i, ua huli lakou e ku e ia'u.
19All my intimate friends abhor me; and they whom I loved are turned against me.
20Ke pili nei kuu iwi i ko'u ili a me ko'u io, A ua pakele au me ka ili o ko'u mau niho.
20My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
21E aloha mai ia'u, e aloha mai ia'u, e oukou ko'u poe makamaka; No ka mea, ua hahau mai ka lima o ke Akua ia'u!
21Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
22No ko aha la oukou e hahai mai ai ia'u, me he Akua la, Aole hoi oukou i maona i kuu io?
22Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
23Ina paha ano e kakauia ka'u mau olelo! Ina e palapalaia lakou iloko o ka buke!
23Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
24Me ka peni hao a me ke kepau, E kahakaha mau ia lakou iloko o ka pohaku!
24That with an iron pen and lead they were graven in the rock for ever!
25No ka mea, ua ike au e ola ana kuu Mea hoola, A i ka wa mahope e ku no ia maluna o ka honua.
25But as for me, I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He will witness at the last upon the dust;
26A mahope o kuu ili, e hoopau na ilo i keia kino, Aka, ma kuu io e ike aku au i ke Akua.
26And when after my skin this is destroyed, then without my flesh shall I see God;
27Oia ka'u e ike aku no'u iho, A e ike ko'u mau maka, aole ko hai; Ua kaniuhu kuu naau iloko o'u.
27Whom I, even I, shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another's. My reins are consumed within me.
28Aka, e olelo oukou, No ke aha kakou e hoomaau ia ia, No ka mea, ua loaa ko kumu o ka mea iloko o'u?
28If ye say: 'How we will persecute him!' seeing that the root of the matter is found in me;
29E makau oukou i ka pahikaua; No ka mea, o ka huhu, oia ka hewa no ka pahikaua, I ike oukou, he hoopai ana no.
29Be ye afraid of the sword; for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
