Ioba 29
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1OLELO hou mai la o Ioba i kana olelonane, i mai la,
1Job also added, taking up his parable, and said:
2Ina e like au me na malama mamua, I na la a ke Akua i malama mai ai ia'u!
2Who will grant me, that I might be according to the months past, according to the days in which God kept me?
3I ka wa i lilelile ai kona kukui maluna o kuu poo, A ma kona malamalama hele no au mawaena o ka pouli!
3When his lamp shined over my head, and I walked by his light in darkness?
4E like me au i na la o kuu oo ana, I ka wa i kuka pu ai me ke Akua ma kuu halelewa!
4As I was in the days of my youth, when God was secretly in my tabernacle?
5I ka wa o ka Mea mana me au, I ka wa e hoopuni ana kuu poe keiki ia'u!
5When the Almighty was with me: and my servants round about me?
6I ka wa a'u i holoi ai i kuu mau wawae i ka waiu, A hookahe mai ka pohaku no'u i na kahawai aila!
6When I washed my feet with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil?
7I kuu hele ana'ku ma ka pukapa i ke kulanakauhale, Ma ke alanui hoomakaukau iho au i kuu wahi noho!
7When I went out to the gate of the city, and in the street they prepared me a chair?
8Ike mai ka poe kanaka opio ia'u, a pee iho la; A o ka poe kahiko, ala mai lakou a ku iluna.
8The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the old men rose up and stood.
9Noho malie na luna i ka olelo aku, A kau lakou i ka lima maluna o ko lakou waha.
9The princes ceased to speak, and laid the finger on their mouth.
10O ka leo o na'lii ua hunaia, Pipili ko lakou alelo me ko lakou kileo.
10The rulers held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to their throat.
11A lohe ka pepeiao, hoomaikai no ia ia'u; A ike ka maka, hoike mai ia no'u:
11The ear that heard me blessed me, and the eye that saw me gave witness to me:
12No ka mea, ua hoopakele au i ka poe hune e uwe ana, A me ka mea makua ole, aole ana mea kokua.
12Because I had delivered the poor man that cried out; and the fatherless that had no helper.
13O ka hoomaikai o ka mea ane make i kau mai maluna o'u: A hoohauoli no au i ka naau o ka wahinekanemake.
13The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me, and I comforted the heart of the widow.
14Aahu iho no au i ka pono, a ua uhi mai ia ia'u; E like me ka aahu a me ke kaei poo, pela kuu olelohoopono.
14I was clad with justice: and I clothed myself with my judgment, as with a robe and a diadem.
15Ua lilo au i maka no ka makapo, I wawae hoi no ka oopa.
15I was an eye to the blind, and a foot to the lame.
16He makua hoi au no ka poe ilihune; A o ka mea hakaka a'u i ike ole ai, ua huli aku au ia.
16I was the father of the poor: and the cause which I knew not, I searched out most diligently.
17Ua haki ia'u na kui o ka mea hewa, A ua kaili aku au i ka waiwai hao mai kona mau niho aku.
17I broke the jaws of the wicked man, and out of his teeth I took away the prey.
18Alaila i iho la au, e make auanei au iloko o kuu punana, A me he one la e hoonui auanei au i na la.
18And I said: I shall die in my nest, and as a palm tree shall multiply my days.
19Manamana ae la kuu aa ma na wai, A kau iho la ka hau, a ao ka po, maluna o kuu lala.
19My root is opened beside the waters, and dew shall continue in my harvest.
20Ua hou ko'u nani iloko o'u, A o ka'u kakaka, ua hooulu hou ia ma kuu lima.
20My glory shall always be renewed, and my bow in my hand shall be repaired.
21Hoolohe lakou ia'u a kakali hoi, A noho malie lakou i kau oleloao.
21They that heard me, waited for my sentence, and being attentive held their peace at my counsel.
22Mahope o ka'u olelo ana, aole lakou i olelo hou, A kulu iho ka'u olelo maluna iho o lakou.
22To my words they durst add nothing, and my speech dropped upon them.
23Kakali lakou ia'u e like me ka ua; A hamama loa lakou i ko lakou waha, no ke kuaua hope.
23They waited for me as for rain, and they opened their mouth as for a latter shower.
24A akaaka au ia lakou, aole lakou i manao he oiaio; A o ka malamalama o kuu maka aole lakou i hookulou ilalo ia.
24If at any time I laughed on them, they believed not, and the light of my countenance fell not on earth.
25Ua wae aku au i ko lakou aoao, a noho me he luna la, A noho au me he alii la maluna o ka poe kaua, E like me ka mea hooluolu i ka poe e uwe ana.
25If I had a mind to go to them, I sat first, and when I sat as a king, with his army standing about him, yet I was a comforter of them that mourned.
