Ioba 30
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
World English 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 those who are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I considered unworthy to put with my sheep dogs.
2Oia hoi, o ka ikaika o ko lakou lima heaha ia ia'u, Ka mea i pau ka ikaika?
2Of what use is the strength of their hands to me, men in whom ripe age has 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 from lack and famine. They gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of waste 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 herbs by the bushes. The roots of the broom tree 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 out from among 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.
6so that they live in frightful valleys, and 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.
7They bray among the bushes. They are gathered together under the nettles.
8He poe keiki a kanaka lapuwale, He poe keiki a kanaka inoa ole; Ua hookukeia lakou mai ka aina aku.
8They are children of fools, yes, children of wicked men. They were flogged 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.
9“Now I have become their song. Yes, I am a byword to 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 stand aloof from me, and don’t 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.
11For he has untied his cord, and afflicted me; and they have thrown off restraint 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.
12On my right hand rise the rabble. They thrust aside my feet. They cast their ways of destruction up against me.
13Ua hana ino lakou i kuu ala, Ua kokua lakou i kuu hina ana; Aohe o lakou kokua.
13They mar my path. They promote my destruction without anyone’s help.
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. They roll themselves in amid the ruin.
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 have turned on me. They chase my honor as the wind. My welfare has passed away as a cloud.
16Ano hoi ua nininiia kuu uhane iloko o'u, Ua lalau mai na la kaumaha ia'u.
16“Now my soul is poured out within me. Days of affliction have taken hold of me.
17I ka po ua oia kuu mau iwi iloko o'u; Aole i maha kuu mau eha aai.
17In the night season my bones are pierced in me, and the pains that gnaw me 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.
18My garment is disfigured by great force. It binds me about as 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 has cast me into the mire. 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 to you, and you do not answer me. I stand up, and you gaze at me.
21Ua lilo oe i enemi no'u, Me ka ikaika o kou lima i hahai mai oe ia'u.
21You have turned to be cruel to me. With the might of your hand you persecute 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.
22You lift me up to the wind, and drive me with it. You dissolve me 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.
23For I know that you will bring me to death, 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.
24“However doesn’t one stretch out a hand in his fall? Or in his calamity therefore cry for help?
25Aole anei au i uwe i kona la pilikia? Aole anei i kaumaha ko'u naau no ka poe ilihune?
25Didn’t I weep for him who was in trouble? Wasn’t my soul 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.
26When I looked for good, then evil came. When I waited for light, darkness came.
27Ua kupikio kuu opu, aohe malie iho; Ua hiki e mai ia'u na la popilikia.
27My heart is troubled, and doesn’t rest. Days of affliction have come on 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 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 grows black and peels from me. 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 my harp has turned to mourning, and my pipe into the voice of those who weep.
