Ioba 20
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1A LAILA olelo aku la o Zopara, no Naama, i aku la,
1Then Sophar the Naamathite answered, and said:
2O kuu mau manao ka mea e olelo aku ai au, A no kuu ikaika iloko o'u.
2Therefore various thoughts succeed one another in me, and my mind is hurried away to different things.
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.
3The doctrine with which thou reprovest me, I will hear, and the spirit of my understanding shall answer for me.
4Ua ike anei oe i keia, mai ka wa kahiko mai, Mai ka manawa i hoonohoia'i ke kanaka maluna o ka honua,
4This I know from the beginning, since man was placed upon the earth,
5O ka olioli o ka poe hewa, he pokole ia, A o ka lealea o ka aia, no ka minute ia?
5That the praise of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment.
6Ina e pii ae kona kiekie i na lani, A e hiki kona poo i na ao;
6If his pride mount up even to heaven, and his head touch the clouds:
7E nalo loa oia e like me kona lepo: E olelo nuanei ka poe i ike ia ia, Auhea oia?
7In the end he shall be destroyed like a dunghill, and they that has seen him shall say: 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.
8As a dream that fleeth away he shall not be found, he shall pass as a vision of 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 eyes that had seen him, shall see him no more, neither shall his place any more behold him.
10E hoolaulea kana mau keiki i ka poe ilihune, A e hoihoi aku kona mau lima i ko lakou waiwai.
10His children shall be oppressed with want, and his hands shall render him his sorrow.
11Ua piha kona mau iwi i kona opiopio, A e moe pu ia me ia ma ka lepo.
11His bones shall be filled with the vices of his youth, and they shall sleep with him in the dust.
12Ina e ono ka hewa ma kona wana, A e huna ia mea malalo o kona alelo;
12For when evil shall be sweet in his mouth, he will hide it under his tongue.
13Ina e aua ia mea, a haalele ole ia, A e malama hoi ia mawaena konu o kona waha;
13He will spare it, and not leave it, and will hide it in his throat.
14O ka ai iloko o kona naau e hoololiia, Oia ka mea make o na moonihoawa iloko ona.
14His bread in his belly shall be turned into the gall of asps 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.
15The riches which he hath swallowed; he shall vomit up, and God shall draw them out of his belly.
16E omo no oia i ka mea make o na moonihoawa: O ke elelo o ka moomake e pepehi ia ia.
16He shall suck the head of asps, and the viper’s tongue shall kill him.
17Aole ia e ike i ua kahawai, I na muliwai, me na kahawai o ka meli, a me ka waiu.
17(Let him not see the streams of the river, the brooks of honey and of butter.)
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 shall be punished for all that he did, and yet shall not be consumed: according to the multitude of his devices so also shall he suffer.
19No ka mea, na hookaumaha, ua haalele i ka poe ilihune; Ua lawe wale aku ia i ka hale ana i kukulu ole ai.
19Because he broke in and stripped the poor: he hath violently taken away a house which 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.
20And yet his belly was not filled: and when he hath the things he coveted, he shall not be able to possess them.
21Aohe mea e koe no kana ai; Nolaila, aole he manaolana no kona pomaikai.
21There was nothing left of his meat, and therefore nothing shall continue of his goods:
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.
22When he shall be filled, he shall be straitened, he shall burn, and every sorrow shall fall 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.
23May his belly be filled, that God may send forth the wrath of his indignation upon him, and rain down his war upon him.
24E holo aku ia mai ka mea kana hao aku, E houia oia i ke kakaka keleawe.
24He shall flee from weapons of iron, and shall fall upon a bow of brass.
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.
25The sword is drawn out, and cometh forth from its scabbard, and glittereth in his bitterness: the terrible ones shall go and come upon 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.
26All darkness is hid in his secret places: a fire that is not kindled shall devour him, he shall be afflicted when left in his tabernacle.
27E hoike mai ka lani i kona hewa; E ku e mai ka honua ia ia.
27The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, and the earth shall rise up against him.
28O ka waiwai o kona hale, e nalowale ia, E uininiia aku ia i ka la o kona inaina.
28The offspring of his house shall be exposed, he shall be pulled down in 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 portion of a wicked man from God, and the inheritance of his doings from the Lord.
