Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1A OLELO mai la o loba, i mai la,
1Then Job answered, and said:
2E hoolohe pono oukou i ka'u olelo, A o keia ko oukou hooluolu ana.
2Hear, I beseech you, my words, and do penance.
3E ae mai oukou ia'u e olelo aku ai au, A mahope o kuu olelo, e hoomaewaewa oukou.
3Suffer me, and I will speak, and after, if you please, laugh at my words.
4Owau hoi, i ke kanaka anei kuu ulono ana? A ina pela, no ke aha la ka huhu ole o kuu uhane?
4Is my debate against man, that I should not have just reason to be troubled?
5E nana oukou ia'u a e pihoihoi, A e kau oukou i ka lima maluna o ka waha.
5Hearken to me and be astonished, and lay your finger on your mouth.
6A ina e hoomanao wau, ua weliweli au, A loohia kuu io e ka haalulu.
6As for me, when I remember, I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh.
7No ke aha la e ola ana ka poe hewa, E elemakule ana, e nui ana hoi i ka waiwai?
7Why then do the wicked live, are they advanced, and strengthened with riches?
8O ko lakou hua, ua hookupaaia me lakou imua o ko lakou alo, A o ka lakou poe keiki imua o ko lakou maka.
8Their seed continueth before them, a multitude of kinsmen, and of children’s children in their sight.
9Ua maluhia ko lakou mau hale, aohe makau, Aole hoi ka laau hahau o ke Akua maluna o lakou.
9Their houses are secure and peaceable, and the rod of God is not upon them.
10Hapai no ka lakou bipi, aole hoi i hemahema; Hua mai no ka lakou bipiohi, aole i hanau hapa.
10Their cattle have conceived, and failed not: their cow has calved, and is not deprived of her fruit.
11Kuu aku lakou i ka lakou poe kamalii me he kumu hipa la, A lelele no ka lakou poe keiki.
11Their little ones go out like a flock, and their children dance and play.
12Hoomaka lakou me ka pahu kani a me ka lira, A olioli lakou i ke kani ana o ka hokiokio.
12They take the timbrel, and the harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.
13Noho lakou i ko lakou mau la me ka pomaikai, A iho koke lakou i ka po.
13They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment they go down to hell.
14A olelo iho lakou i ke Akua, E hele oe mai o makou aku; A o ka ike i kou mau aoao, aohe makou makemake.
14Who have said to God: Depart from us, we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.
15Owai ka Mea mana, i malama ai kakou ia ia? Heaha ka mea e loaa ai, ke nonoi kakou ia ia?
15Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what doth it profit us if we pray to him?
16Aia hoi, aole ma ko lakou lima ko lakou pomaikai: O ke kuka ana o ka poe hewa, ua mamao aku ia ia'u.
16Yet because their good things are not in their hand, may the counsel of the wicked be far from me.
17He pinepine i pio ai ke kukui o ka poe hewa, A e hiki koke mai hoi ko lakou make maluna o lakou, A ua hooili mai ia i na eha ma kona inaina.
17How often shall the lamp of the wicked be put out, and a deluge come upon them, and he shall distribute the sorrows of his wrath?
18Ua like lakou me ka mauu maloo imua o ka makani, E like hoi me ka opala a ka puahiohio i lawe aku.
18They shall be as chaff before the face of the wind, and as ashes which the whirlwind scattereth.
19Ua hoomau ke Akua i kona hewa no kana poe keiki: Ua uku mai ia ia ia, a e ike auanei oia.
19God shall lay up the sorrow of the father for his children: and when he shall repay, then shall he know.
20E ike no kona maka i kona popilikia. E inu no ia i ka huhu o ka Mea mana.
20His eyes shall see his own destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
21No ka mea, heaha la kana hana iloko o kona hale mahope ona, I ka manawa e okiia'i mawaena ka huina o kona mau malama?
21For what is it to him what befalleth his house after him: and if the number of his months be diminished by one half?
22K ao mai anei kekahi i ke Akua i ka ike, I ka mea hooponopono i ka poe kiekie?
22Shall any one teach God knowledge, who judgeth those that are high?
23Make no kekahi iwaena o kona pomaikai, E noho nanea ana a me ka oluolu.
23One man dieth strong, and hale, rich and happy.
24Ua piha kona mau aoao i ka momona, Ua mau kona mau iwi i ka lolo.
24His bowels are full of fat, and his bones are moistened with marrow.
25A make no kekahi me ka naau ehaeha, Aole ia i hoao i ka lealea.
25But another dieth in bitterness of soul without any riches:
26E moe pu laua i ka lepo, A e paapu na ilo maluna o laua.
26And yet they shall sleep together in the dust, and worms shall cover them.
27Aia hoi, ua ike no wau i ko oukou mau noonoo ana, A me ko oukou mau manao a oukou i hoino ai ia'u.
27Surely I know your thoughts, and your unjust judgments against me.
28No ka mea, ke olelo nei oukou, Auhea ka hale o ke alii? Auhea hoi ka uhi o na halelewa o ka poe hewa?
28For you say: Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked?
29Aole anei oukou i ninau i ka poe e maalo ae ana ma ke ala? A ike ole anei oukou i ko lakou mau hoailona?
29Ask any one of them that go by the way, and you shall perceive that he knoweth these same things.
30No ka mea, ua waihoia ka poe hewa no ka la popilikia, A e laweia mai lakou no ka la e inaina ai.
30Because the wicked man is reserved to the day of destruction, and he shall be brought to the day of wrath.
31Owai ka mea e hoike aku i kona aoao imua ona? A owai ka mea e uku aku ia ia i kana mea i hana'i?
31Who shall reprove his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?
32A e laweia aku oia i ka luakupapau, A e kiaiia oia ma ka hale kupapau.
32He shall be brought to the graves, and shall watch in the heap of the dead.
33E kau oluolu maluna ona na papaa lepo o ke awawa, A mahope ona e hahai aku na kanaka a pau, E like me ka poe mamua ona he lehulehu no.
33He hath been acceptable to the gravel of Cocytus, and he shall draw every man after him, and there are innumerable before him.
34A pehea la ko oukou hooluolu make hewa ana mai ia'u, A ua hewa ka oukou olelo ana mai?
34How then do ye comfort me in vain, whereas your answer is shewn to be repugnant to truth?
