Ioba 30
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
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.
1But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.
2Oia hoi, o ka ikaika o ko lakou lima heaha ia ia'u, Ka mea i pau ka ikaika?
2Yea, the strength of their hands, whereto should it profit me? men in whom ripe age is perished.
3No ka ilihune a no ka pololi ua wiwi lakou; Holo lakou i ka waonahele, I ka po he mehameha a neoneo.
3They are gaunt with want and famine; they gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of wasteness and desolation.
4Uhuki lakou i ka maluha ma ka nahelehele, A me ke aa o ka laau iunipera i ai na lakou.
4They pluck salt-wort with wormwood; and the roots of the broom are their food.
5Maiwaena mai o kanaka ua hookukeia'ku lakou; Kahea nui aku mahope o lakou e like me lakou i ka aihue;
5They are driven forth from the midst of men; they cry after them as after a thief.
6Maloko o na awawa weliweli e noho ai lakou, Maloko o na lua o ka honua a me na pohaku.
6In the clefts of the valleys must they dwell, in holes of the earth and of the rocks.
7Mawaena o ka nahelehele, me he hoki la lakou i uwe ai, Malalo o ka laau kuku lakou i hoakoakoa ai.
7Among the bushes they bray; under the nettles they are gathered together.
8He poe keiki a kanaka lapuwale, He poe keiki a kanaka inoa ole; Ua hookukeia lakou mai ka aina aku.
8They are children of churls, yea, children of ignoble men; they were scourged out of 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 I am become their song, yea, I am a byword unto 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, they flee far from me, and spare not 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.
11For He hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, and they have cast off the bridle before me.
12Ma ka akau ku mai ka poe opio, a hoonee aku i kuu wawae, Hoouka ae lakou i na alanui no kuu make.
12Upon my right hand rise the brood; they entangle my feet, and they cast up against me their ways of destruction.
13Ua hana ino lakou i kuu ala, Ua kokua lakou i kuu hina ana; Aohe o lakou kokua.
13They break up my path, they further my calamity, even men that have no helper.
14Hele mai lakou me he poha nui mai la: Ma kahi nahae, hookaa mai la lakou maluna o'u.
14As through a wide breach they come; in the midst of the ruin they roll themselves upon me.
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 upon me, they chase mine honour as the wind; and my welfare is passed away as 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 have taken hold upon me.
17I ka po ua oia kuu mau iwi iloko o'u; Aole i maha kuu mau eha aai.
17In the night my bones are pierced, and fall from me, and my sinews take no 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.
18By the great force of my disease is my garment disfigured; it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.
19Ua hoolei mai oia ia'u iloko o ka nenelu, A ua like au me ka lepo a me ka lehu.
19He hath cast me into the mire, and I am 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 unto Thee, and Thou dost not answer me; I stand up, and Thou lookest at me.
21Ua lilo oe i enemi no'u, Me ka ikaika o kou lima i hahai mai oe ia'u.
21Thou art turned to be cruel to me; with the might of Thy hand Thou hatest me.
22Ua kaikai oe ia'u, A hooholo no oe ia'u maluna o ka makani; Ua hooheehee mai hoi ia'u a hoomakau mai.
22Thou liftest me up to the wind, Thou causest me to ride upon it; and Thou dissolvest my substance.
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.
23For I know that Thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.
24Aka, he mea ole ka pule, ke kikoo mai ia i kona lima, Ina e uwe lakou iloko o kona luku ana.
24Surely none shall put forth his hand to a ruinous heap, neither because of these things shall help come in one's calamity,
25Aole anei au i uwe i kona la pilikia? Aole anei i kaumaha ko'u naau no ka poe ilihune?
25If I have not wept for him that was in trouble, and if my soul grieved not 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.
26Yet, when I looked for good, there came evil; and when I waited for light, there came darkness.
27Ua kupikio kuu opu, aohe malie iho; Ua hiki e mai ia'u na la popilikia.
27Mine inwards boil, and rest not; days of affliction are come upon 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 mourning without 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 am become a brother to jackals, and a companion to ostriches.
30Ua eleele kuu ili maluna o'u, A ua hoaia kuu mau iwi i ka wela.
30My skin is black, and falleth from me, and my bones are burned with heat.
31A ua lilo kuu lira no ke kanikau, A o kuu mea hookiokio no ka leo o ka poe e uwe ana.
31Therefore is my harp turned to mourning, and my pipe into the voice of them that weep.
