Ioba 24
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1NO ka mea, aole i hoonaloia na manawa mai ka Mea mana aku, No ke aha la aole ka poe ike ia ia e noonoo i kona mau la?
1“Why does the Almighty not reserve times for judgment? Why may those who know Him never see His days?
2Hoonee aku lakou i na palena aina, A lawe wale aku lakou i ka poe hipa, a hanai aku ia lakou.
2Men move boundary stones; they pasture stolen flocks.
3Alakai aku lakou i ka hokikane o ka poe makua ole; A lawe lakou i ka bipi a ka wahinekanemake i uku panai.
3They drive away the donkey of the fatherless and take the widow’s ox in pledge.
4Ua kipaku lakou i ka poe nele mai ke ala aku; Pee pu aku la na ilihune o ka honua.
4They push the needy off the road and force all the poor of the land into hiding.
5Aia hoi, me na hoki hihiu ma ka waonahele, hele aku lakou i ka lakou hana; E imi ana i ka mea pio; O ka waonahele oia ka ai na lakou, a na ka lakou poe keiki.
5Indeed, like wild donkeys in the desert, the poor go to work foraging for food; the wasteland is food for their children.
6Ma ka mahinaai, oki kela mea keia mea i kana ai; A hoiliili lakou ma ka pawaina o ka mea hewa,
6They gather fodder in the fields and glean the vineyards of the wicked.
7Waiho lakou i ka poe olohelohe i moe lakou me ka kapa ole, Aohe mea uhi iloko o ke anu.
7Without clothing, they spend the night naked; they have no covering against the cold.
8Ua pulu lakou i ka ua nui o oa mauna, A no ka hale ole, ua pili lakou i ka pohaku.
8Drenched by mountain rains, they huddle against the rocks for want of shelter.
9Kaili lakou i ka mea makua ole mai ka u aku, A lawe lakou i ka aahu o ka ilihune i uku panei
9The fatherless infant is snatched from the breast; the nursing child of the poor is seized for a debt.
10Hoohele lakou i ka mea olohelohe me ke kapa ole, A lawe aku lakou i ka poa palaoa mai ka pololi;
10Without clothing, they wander about naked. They carry the sheaves, but still go hungry.
11Kaomi lakou i ka aila mawaena o ko lakou meu papohaku, Hahi lakou i na wahi kaomi waina, a makewai lakou.
11They crush olives within their walls; they tread the winepresses, but go thirsty.
12Kunukunu na kanaka mai ke kulanakauhale aku, A o ka naau i houia ke kahea aku; Aole ke Akua i manao mai i ka mea lapuwale,
12From the city, men groan, and the souls of the wounded cry out, yet God charges no one with wrongdoing.
13O lakou ka poe e kipi ana i ka malamalama, Aole lakou i ike i kona mau kuamoo, Aole lakou i nobo ma kona mau alanui.
13Then there are those who rebel against the light, not knowing its ways or staying on its paths.
14I ka malamalama ala mai ka pepehi kanaka, A pepehi aku i ka poe ilihune a me ka poe nele, A i ka po ua like ia me ka aihue.
14When daylight is gone, the murderer rises to kill the poor and needy; in the night he is like a thief.
15Ke kali ae la ka make o ka mea moe kolohe i ke ahiahi poeleele, I iho la, Aole e ike mai ka make ia'u; A kau i ka pale ma ka make.
15The eye of the adulterer watches for twilight. Thinking, ‘No eye will see me,’ he covers his face.
16I ka pouli wawahi lakou i na hale, I ke ao hoopaa lakou ia lakou iho iloko: Aole lakou i ike i ka malamalama.
16In the dark they dig through houses; by day they shut themselves in, never to experience the light.
17No ka mea, o kakahiaka, ua like pu ia no lakou me ka malu make; Ina ikeia, ua kau mai na mea weliweli o ka malu make.
17For to them, deep darkness is their morning; surely they are friends with the terrors of darkness!
18Ua like lakou me ka mea mama maluna o ka wai; Ua hoinoia ko lakou kuleana ma ka honua; Aole lakou e huli ae ma ke ala o na pawaina,
18They are but foam on the surface of the water; their portion of the land is cursed, so that no one turns toward their vineyards.
19Na ka maloo a me ka wela e hoopau aku i na wai o ka hau; Pela no ka po i ka poe hana hewa.
19As drought and heat consume the melting snow, so Sheol steals those who have sinned.
20E hoopoina ka opu ia ia; E ai wale ka ilo ia ia; Aole loa e hoomanaoia oia; A e haki ka mea hewa me he laau la.
20The womb forgets them; the worm feeds on them; they are remembered no more. So injustice is like a broken tree.
21Hookaumaha oia i ka mea pa hanau ole, Aole ia i hana maikai aku i ka wahinekanemake,
21They prey on the barren and childless, and show no kindness to the widow.
22Lawe aku no ia i ka poe alii ma kona ikaika; A ka mai oia, aohe malu ke ola o kekahi.
22Yet by His power, God drags away the mighty; though rising up, they have no assurance of life.
23Ina e haawiia none e maluhia, a e hilinai; Aka, o kona mau make aia maluna o ko lakou mau aoao.
23He gives them a sense of security, but His eyes are on their ways.
24Ua hookiekieia lakou i ka wa pokole, Aka, oa ole lakou, a ua hoonalowaleia lakou; E like me na mea a pau, ua hoiia lakou, Ua okiia lakou e like me na piko huhui palaoa.
24They are exalted for a moment, then they are gone; they are brought low and gathered up like all others; they are cut off like heads of grain.
25Ina i ole pela ano, Owai la ka mea e hoike mai, he hoopunipuni ka'u, A e hoolilo i ka'u olelo i mea ole?
25If this is not so, then who can prove me a liar and reduce my words to nothing?”
