Ioba 24
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
World English 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 aren’t times laid up by the Almighty? Why don’t those who know him see his days?
2Hoonee aku lakou i na palena aina, A lawe wale aku lakou i ka poe hipa, a hanai aku ia lakou.
2There are people who remove the landmarks. They violently take away flocks, and feed 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 drive away the donkey of the fatherless, and they take 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 turn the needy out of the way. The poor of the earth all hide themselves.
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.
5Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert, they go out to their work, seeking diligently for food. The wilderness yields them 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 cut their food in the field. They glean the vineyard of the wicked.
7Waiho lakou i ka poe olohelohe i moe lakou me ka kapa ole, Aohe mea uhi iloko o ke anu.
7They lie all night naked without clothing, and 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.
8They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for lack of a shelter.
9Kaili lakou i ka mea makua ole mai ka u aku, A lawe lakou i ka aahu o ka ilihune i uku panei
9There are those who pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor,
10Hoohele lakou i ka mea olohelohe me ke kapa ole, A lawe aku lakou i ka poa palaoa mai ka pololi;
10so that they go around naked without clothing. Being hungry, they carry the sheaves.
11Kaomi lakou i ka aila mawaena o ko lakou meu papohaku, Hahi lakou i na wahi kaomi waina, a makewai lakou.
11They make oil within the walls of these men. They tread wine presses, and 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,
12From out of the populous city, men groan. The soul of the wounded cries out, yet God doesn’t regard the folly.
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.
13“These are of those who rebel against the light. They don’t know its ways, nor stay in 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.
14The murderer rises with the light. He kills 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 also of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, ‘No eye will see me.’ He disguises 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. They shut themselves up in the daytime. They don’t know 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 the morning is to all of them like thick darkness, for they know the terrors of the thick 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,
18“They are foam on the surface of the waters. Their portion is cursed on the earth. They don’t turn into 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.
19Drought and heat consume the snow waters, so does Sheol 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 will forget him. The worm will feed sweetly on him. He will be no more remembered. Unrighteousness will be broken as a tree.
21Hookaumaha oia i ka mea pa hanau ole, Aole ia i hana maikai aku i ka wahinekanemake,
21He devours the barren who don’t bear. He shows 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 God preserves the mighty by his power. He rises up who has 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.
23God gives them security, and they rest in it. 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; yet a little while, and they are gone. Yes, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all others, and are cut off as the tops of the ears 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 it isn’t so now, who will prove me a liar, and make my speech worth nothing?”
