Ioba 27
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1A OLELO hou mai la o Ioba i kana olelonane, i mai la,
1Job continued his discourse:
2Ma ke ola o ke Akua, nana i lawe aku kuu pono; A ma ka Mea mana, nana i hooawahia kuu uhane;
2“As surely as God lives, who has deprived me of justice— the Almighty, who has embittered my soul—
3I ka manawa a pau o kuu hanu iloko o'u, A o ke ola o ke Akua iloko o kuu mau puka ihu;
3as long as my breath is still within me and the breath of God remains in my nostrils,
4Aole e olelo kuu lehelehe i ka hewa, A o kuu elelo aole e hoike aku i ka wahahee.
4my lips will not speak wickedness, and my tongue will not utter deceit.
5Aole loa wau e hoapono aku ia oukou, a make au; Aole owau e lawe aku i kuu pono mai o'u aku la.
5I will never say that you are right; I will maintain my integrity until I die.
6Ma kuu pono ke hoopaa nei au, aole au e hookuu aku; Aole e hoino mai ia'u kuu naau i kekahi o kuu mau la.
6I will cling to my righteousness and never let go. As long as I live, my conscience will not accuse me.
7E hoohalikeia kuu enemi me ka mea hewa, A o ka mea ku e mai ia'u me he mea pono ole la.
7May my enemy be like the wicked and my opponent like the unjust.
8No ka mea, heaha ka manaelana o ka aia, i ka wa e hoopau ai ia ia, I ku wa e kaili aku ai ke Akua i kona uhane?
8For what is the hope of the godless when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
9E hoolohe mai anei ke Akua i kona auwe ana, I ka manawa e hiki mai ai ka popilikia maluna ona?
9Will God hear his cry when distress comes upon him?
10E hauoli anei ia i ka Mea mana? E kahea mau loa anei ia i ke Akua?
10Will he delight in the Almighty? Will he call upon God at all times?
11E ao aku au ia oukou ma ka lima o ke Akua: Aole au e huna i ka mea me ka Mea mana.
11I will instruct you in the power of God. I will not conceal the ways of the Almighty.
12Aia hoi, o oukou a pau, ua hoomaopopo oukou ia; No ke aha la oukou i manao lapuwale ai pela?
12Surely all of you have seen it for yourselves. Why then do you keep up this empty talk?
13Eia ka uku no ke kanaka hewa imua o ke Akua, O ka hooilina a ka poe hookaumaha e loaa'i, mai ka Mea mana mai.
13This is the wicked man’s portion from God— the heritage the ruthless receive from the Almighty.
14Ina e hoonuiia kana poe keiki, no ka pahikaua no; A o kana poe mamo, aole e maona i ka berena.
14Though his sons are many, they are destined for the sword; and his offspring will never have enough food.
15O kona poe e koe ana, e kanuia i ka make: Aole hoi e kanikau kana mau wahinekanemake.
15His survivors will be buried by the plague, and their widows will not weep for them.
16Ina e hoiliili oia i ke kala e like me ka lepo, A e hoomakaukau i ka lolekomo e like me ka palolo;
16Though he heaps up silver like dust and piles up a wardrobe like clay,
17E hoomakaukau no, aka, na ka mea pono e hookomo, A o ke kala, na ka mea hala ole e puunaue.
17what he lays up, the righteous will wear, and his silver will be divided by the innocent.
18Kukulu no ia i kona hale me he mu la, A e like me ke kamala a ke kiai i hana'i.
18The house he built is like a moth’s cocoon, like a hut set up by a watchman.
19Moe iho ilalo ka mea waiwai, aole e kanuia; Wehe ae ia i kona maka, aole iho la ia.
19He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more; when he opens his eyes, all is gone.
20Kau mai la na weliweli ia ia, e like me na wai, I ka po, lawe aku ka puahiohio ia ia.
20Terrors overtake him like a flood; a tempest sweeps him away in the night.
21Na ka makani hikina ia e lawe aku, a hele aku ia, A o ka ino e lawe ia ia mai kona wahi aku.
21The east wind carries him away, and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place.
22E hoolei aku [ke Akua] ia ia, aole ia e minamina: I ka holo ana, e holo no ia mai kona lima aku.
22It hurls itself against him without mercy as he flees headlong from its power.
23E pai lakou i ko lakou lima ia ia, A e kipaku ia ia mai kona wahi aku.
23It claps its hands at him and hisses him out of his place.
