Ioba 24
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
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?
1Times are not hid from the Almighty: but they that know him, know not his days.
2Hoonee aku lakou i na palena aina, A lawe wale aku lakou i ka poe hipa, a hanai aku ia lakou.
2Some have removed landmarks, have taken away flocks by force, and fed them.
3Alakai aku lakou i ka hokikane o ka poe makua ole; A lawe lakou i ka bipi a ka wahinekanemake i uku panai.
3They have driven away the ass of the fatherless, and have taken away the widow’s ox for a pledge.
4Ua kipaku lakou i ka poe nele mai ke ala aku; Pee pu aku la na ilihune o ka honua.
4They have overturned the way of the poor, and have oppressed together the meek of the earth.
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.
5Others like wild asses in the desert go forth to their work: by watching for a prey they get bread 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 reap the field that is not their own, and gather the vintage of his vineyard whom by violence they have oppressed.
7Waiho lakou i ka poe olohelohe i moe lakou me ka kapa ole, Aohe mea uhi iloko o ke anu.
7They send men away naked, taking away their clothes who have no covering in the cold:
8Ua pulu lakou i ka ua nui o oa mauna, A no ka hale ole, ua pili lakou i ka pohaku.
8Who are wet, with the showers of the mountains, and having no covering embrace the stones.
9Kaili lakou i ka mea makua ole mai ka u aku, A lawe lakou i ka aahu o ka ilihune i uku panei
9They have violently robbed the fatherless, and stripped the poor common people.
10Hoohele lakou i ka mea olohelohe me ke kapa ole, A lawe aku lakou i ka poa palaoa mai ka pololi;
10From the naked and them that go without clothing, and from the hungry they have taken away the ears of corn.
11Kaomi lakou i ka aila mawaena o ko lakou meu papohaku, Hahi lakou i na wahi kaomi waina, a makewai lakou.
11They have taken their rest at noon among the stores of them, who after having trodden the winepresses suffer thirst.
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,
12Out of the cities they have made men to groan, and the soul of the wounded hath cried out, and God doth not suffer it to pass unrevenged.
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.
13They have been rebellious to the light, they have not known his ways, neither have they returned by his 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.
14The murderer riseth at the very break of day, he killeth the needy, and the poor man: but in the night he will be as 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 observeth darkness, saying: No eye shall see me: and he will cover 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.
16He diggeth through houses in the dark, as in the day they had appointed for themselves, and they have not known 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.
17If the morning suddenly appear, it is to them the shadow of death: and they walk in darkness as if it were in light.
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,
18He is light upon the face of the water: cursed be his portion on the earth, let him not walk by the way of the 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.
19Let him pass from the snow waters to excessive heat, and his sin even to hell.
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.
20Let mercy forget him: may worms be his sweetness: let him be remembered no more, but be broken in pieces as an unfruitful tree.
21Hookaumaha oia i ka mea pa hanau ole, Aole ia i hana maikai aku i ka wahinekanemake,
21For he hath fed the barren that beareth not, and to the widow he hath done no good.
22Lawe aku no ia i ka poe alii ma kona ikaika; A ka mai oia, aohe malu ke ola o kekahi.
22He hath pulled down the strong by his might: and when he standeth up, he shall not trust to his life.
23Ina e haawiia none e maluhia, a e hilinai; Aka, o kona mau make aia maluna o ko lakou mau aoao.
23God hath given him place for penance, and he abuseth it unto pride: but his eyes are upon his 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 lifted up for a little while and shall not stand, and shall be brought down as all things, and shall be taken away, and as the tops of the ears of corn they shall be broken.
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?
25And if it be not so, who can convince me that I have lied, and set my words before God?
