Ioba 20
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1A LAILA olelo aku la o Zopara, no Naama, i aku la,
1Then Zophar the Naamathite replied:
2O kuu mau manao ka mea e olelo aku ai au, A no kuu ikaika iloko o'u.
2“So my anxious thoughts compel me to answer, because of the turmoil within me.
3O ke ao ana o kuu hoinoia ka'u i lohe, A o ka uhane o kuu naauao, oia ka'u mea e pane aku nei.
3I have heard a rebuke that insults me, and my understanding prompts a reply.
4Ua ike anei oe i keia, mai ka wa kahiko mai, Mai ka manawa i hoonohoia'i ke kanaka maluna o ka honua,
4Do you not know that from antiquity, since man was placed on the earth,
5O ka olioli o ka poe hewa, he pokole ia, A o ka lealea o ka aia, no ka minute ia?
5the triumph of the wicked has been brief and the joy of the godless momentary?
6Ina e pii ae kona kiekie i na lani, A e hiki kona poo i na ao;
6Though his arrogance reaches the heavens, and his head touches the clouds,
7E nalo loa oia e like me kona lepo: E olelo nuanei ka poe i ike ia ia, Auhea oia?
7he will perish forever, like his own dung; those who had seen him will ask, ‘Where is he?’
8E like me ka moeuhane e lele aku ia, aole e loaa oia: A e holo aku oia e like me ka hihio o ka po.
8He will fly away like a dream, never to be found; he will be chased away like a vision in the night.
9O ka maka i ike ia ia, aole ia e ike hou ia ia; Aole hoi e ike hou kona wahi ia ia.
9The eye that saw him will see him no more, and his place will no longer behold him.
10E hoolaulea kana mau keiki i ka poe ilihune, A e hoihoi aku kona mau lima i ko lakou waiwai.
10His sons will seek the favor of the poor, for his own hands must return his wealth.
11Ua piha kona mau iwi i kona opiopio, A e moe pu ia me ia ma ka lepo.
11The youthful vigor that fills his bones will lie down with him in the dust.
12Ina e ono ka hewa ma kona wana, A e huna ia mea malalo o kona alelo;
12Though evil is sweet in his mouth and he conceals it under his tongue,
13Ina e aua ia mea, a haalele ole ia, A e malama hoi ia mawaena konu o kona waha;
13though he cannot bear to let it go and keeps it in his mouth,
14O ka ai iloko o kona naau e hoololiia, Oia ka mea make o na moonihoawa iloko ona.
14yet in his stomach his food sours into the venom of cobras within him.
15Ua moni no ia i ka waiwai, A e luai hou aku no ia mea; Na ke Akua e hoohemo ia mea mai kona opu aku.
15He swallows wealth but vomits it out; God will force it from his stomach.
16E omo no oia i ka mea make o na moonihoawa: O ke elelo o ka moomake e pepehi ia ia.
16He will suck the poison of cobras; the fangs of a viper will kill him.
17Aole ia e ike i ua kahawai, I na muliwai, me na kahawai o ka meli, a me ka waiu.
17He will not enjoy the streams, the rivers flowing with honey and cream.
18E hoihoi aku no ia i ka mea ana i luhi ai, aole ia e moni iho ia; E like me ka waiwai e hoihoiia'aku, aole ia e olioli ilaila.
18He must return the fruit of his labor without consuming it; he cannot enjoy the profits of his trading.
19No ka mea, na hookaumaha, ua haalele i ka poe ilihune; Ua lawe wale aku ia i ka hale ana i kukulu ole ai.
19For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor; he has seized houses he did not build.
20No ia hoi, aole ia e ike i ka oluolu maloko o kona opu, Aole ia e hookoe i kana mea i makemake ai.
20Because his appetite is never satisfied, he cannot escape with his treasure.
21Aohe mea e koe no kana ai; Nolaila, aole he manaolana no kona pomaikai.
21Nothing is left for him to consume; thus his prosperity will not endure.
22Ma ka nui ana o kona waiwai, e hiki ka popilikia ia ia; O kela lima keia lima o ka poino e hiki mai ia maluna ona.
22In the midst of his plenty, he will be distressed; the full force of misery will come upon him.
23I ka wa e hoopiha ai ia i kona opu, E hoolei mai no ko Akua i kona inaina maluna ona, A e hooua mai no ia maluna ona i kana ai ana.
23When he has filled his stomach, God will vent His fury upon him, raining it down on him as he eats.
24E holo aku ia mai ka mea kana hao aku, E houia oia i ke kakaka keleawe.
24Though he flees from an iron weapon, a bronze-tipped arrow will pierce him.
25Hukiia mai la ia a puka ae mai ke kino mai; A puka ae hoi ka pahikaua huali mai kona au mai; Maluna ona na mea weliweli.
25It is drawn out of his back, the gleaming point from his liver. Terrors come over him.
26Ua hoahuia ka poino a pau no kona waiwai; O ke ahi i hoa ole ia e hoopau ia ia; E popilikia ka mea o koe iloko o kona halelewa.
26Total darkness is reserved for his treasures. A fire unfanned will consume him and devour what is left in his tent.
27E hoike mai ka lani i kona hewa; E ku e mai ka honua ia ia.
27The heavens will expose his iniquity, and the earth will rise up against him.
28O ka waiwai o kona hale, e nalowale ia, E uininiia aku ia i ka la o kona inaina.
28The possessions of his house will be removed, flowing away on the day of God’s wrath.
29Oia ka uku o ke kanaka hewa mai ke Akua mai, Oia kona hoilina i oleloia mai e ke Akua.
29This is the wicked man’s portion from God, the inheritance God has appointed him.”
