Ioba 30
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1A NO hoi, ua henehene mai ia'u ka poe opiopio ia'u, Ka poe nona na makuakane a'u i hoowahawaha ai, Aole e hoonoho pu me na ilio o ka'u poe hipi.
1“But now they mock me, men younger than I am, whose fathers I would have refused to entrust with my sheep dogs.
2Oia hoi, o ka ikaika o ko lakou lima heaha ia ia'u, Ka mea i pau ka ikaika?
2What use to me was the strength of their hands, since their vigor had left them?
3No ka ilihune a no ka pololi ua wiwi lakou; Holo lakou i ka waonahele, I ka po he mehameha a neoneo.
3Gaunt from poverty and hunger, they gnawed the dry land, and the desolate wasteland by night.
4Uhuki lakou i ka maluha ma ka nahelehele, A me ke aa o ka laau iunipera i ai na lakou.
4They plucked mallow among the shrubs, and the roots of the broom tree were their food.
5Maiwaena mai o kanaka ua hookukeia'ku lakou; Kahea nui aku mahope o lakou e like me lakou i ka aihue;
5They were banished from among men, shouted down like thieves,
6Maloko o na awawa weliweli e noho ai lakou, Maloko o na lua o ka honua a me na pohaku.
6so that they lived on the slopes of the wadis, among the rocks and in holes in the ground.
7Mawaena o ka nahelehele, me he hoki la lakou i uwe ai, Malalo o ka laau kuku lakou i hoakoakoa ai.
7They cried out among the shrubs and huddled beneath the nettles.
8He poe keiki a kanaka lapuwale, He poe keiki a kanaka inoa ole; Ua hookukeia lakou mai ka aina aku.
8A senseless and nameless brood, they were driven off the land.
9Ano hoi, ua lilo au i mea e mele ai lakou; A ua lilo hoi au no lakou i mea e olelo nane ai.
9And now they mock me in song; I have become a byword among them.
10Ua hoopailua lakou ia'u, a holo mamao lakou mai o'u aku la, Aole lakou i uumi i ke kuha mai i kuu maka.
10They abhor me and keep far from me; they do not hesitate to spit in my face.
11No ka mea, ua kuu aku ia i kona kaulawaha, a ua hookaumaha mai ia'u; Ua kuu aku hoi lakou i ke kaulawaha imua o'u.
11Because God has unstrung my bow and afflicted me, they have cast off restraint in my presence.
12Ma ka akau ku mai ka poe opio, a hoonee aku i kuu wawae, Hoouka ae lakou i na alanui no kuu make.
12The rabble arises at my right; they lay snares for my feet and build siege ramps against me.
13Ua hana ino lakou i kuu ala, Ua kokua lakou i kuu hina ana; Aohe o lakou kokua.
13They tear up my path; they profit from my destruction, with no one to restrain them.
14Hele mai lakou me he poha nui mai la: Ma kahi nahae, hookaa mai la lakou maluna o'u.
14They advance as through a wide breach; through the ruins they keep rolling in.
15Ua hiki mai na mea hooweliweli maluna o'u: Hoomaau lakou i kuu lokomaikai e like me ka makani; A me he ao la, ke hele aku nei kuu pomaikai.
15Terrors are turned loose against me; they drive away my dignity as by the wind, and my prosperity has passed like a cloud.
16Ano hoi ua nininiia kuu uhane iloko o'u, Ua lalau mai na la kaumaha ia'u.
16And now my soul is poured out within me; days of affliction grip me.
17I ka po ua oia kuu mau iwi iloko o'u; Aole i maha kuu mau eha aai.
17Night pierces my bones, and my gnawing pains never rest.
18No ka ikaika loa o kuu mai, ua ano e kuu aahu; Ua puliki mai ia'u e like me ka a-i o kuu kapakomo.
18With great force He grasps my garment; He seizes me by the collar of my tunic.
19Ua hoolei mai oia ia'u iloko o ka nenelu, A ua like au me ka lepo a me ka lehu.
19He throws me into the mud, and I have become like dust and ashes.
20Ua uwe aku au ia oe, aole oe i hoolohe mai ia'u; A ku au iluna, aole oe i manao mai ia'u.
20I cry out to You for help, but You do not answer; when I stand up, You merely look at me.
21Ua lilo oe i enemi no'u, Me ka ikaika o kou lima i hahai mai oe ia'u.
21You have ruthlessly turned on me; You oppose me with Your strong hand.
22Ua kaikai oe ia'u, A hooholo no oe ia'u maluna o ka makani; Ua hooheehee mai hoi ia'u a hoomakau mai.
22You snatch me up into the wind and drive me before it; You toss me about in the storm.
23No ka mea, ua ike no au e hoihoi aku oe ia'u i ka make, A i ka hale e akoakoa ai ka poe a pau e ola ana.
23Yes, I know that You will bring me down to death, to the place appointed for all the living.
24Aka, he mea ole ka pule, ke kikoo mai ia i kona lima, Ina e uwe lakou iloko o kona luku ana.
24Yet no one stretches out his hand to a ruined man when he cries for help in his distress.
25Aole anei au i uwe i kona la pilikia? Aole anei i kaumaha ko'u naau no ka poe ilihune?
25Have I not wept for those in trouble? Has my soul not grieved for the needy?
26I ka wa i kakali ai au i ka maikai, alaila hiki mai ka hewa; A ukali au i ka malamalama, alaila hiki mai ka pouli.
26But when I hoped for good, evil came; when I looked for light, darkness fell.
27Ua kupikio kuu opu, aohe malie iho; Ua hiki e mai ia'u na la popilikia.
27I am churning within and cannot rest; days of affliction confront me.
28Ke hele eleele nei au, aole nae i ka la: Ku no au iluna maloko o ka ahakanaka, a uwe aku au.
28I go about blackened, but not by the sun. I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.
29Ua lilo au i hoahanau no na iliohae, A i hoalauna no na iana.
29I have become a brother of jackals, a companion of ostriches.
30Ua eleele kuu ili maluna o'u, A ua hoaia kuu mau iwi i ka wela.
30My skin grows black and peels, and my bones burn with fever.
31A ua lilo kuu lira no ke kanikau, A o kuu mea hookiokio no ka leo o ka poe e uwe ana.
31My harp is tuned to mourning and my flute to the sound of weeping.
