Ioba 31
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1U A hana au i berita me kuu mau maka; A no ke aha la au e nana aku ai i ke kaikamahine?
1“I have made a covenant with my eyes. How then could I gaze with desire at a virgin?
2A heaha ka haawina a ke Akua mai luna mai? Heaha hoi ka hooilina a ka Mea mana mai kahi kiekie mai?
2For what is the allotment of God from above, or the heritage from the Almighty on high?
3Aole anei he make no ka poe pono ole? A me ka luku no ka poe hana hewa?
3Does not disaster come to the unjust and calamity to the workers of iniquity?
4Aole anei ia i ike i ko'u mau aoao, A i helu hoi i kuu mau kapuwai a pau?
4Does He not see my ways and count my every step?
5Ina ua hele au ma ka wahahee, Ina ua lalelale kuu wawae i ka hoopunipuni;
5If I have walked in falsehood or my foot has rushed to deceit,
6E kaupaonaia au ma ke kaupaona pono, I ike ai ke Akua i kuu oiaio.
6let God weigh me with honest scales, that He may know my integrity.
7Ina ua kapae kuu hele ana mai ke ala aku, A ua hele kuu naau mamuli o ko'u mau maka, Ina ua pili ke kina i kuu mau lima;
7If my steps have turned from the path, if my heart has followed my eyes, or if impurity has stuck to my hands,
8Alaila e lulu no au, a na hai e ai; A e uhukiia kuu mea ulu.
8then may another eat what I have sown, and may my crops be uprooted.
9Ina ua hoowalewaleia ko'u naau e ka wahine, Ina ua hoohalua au ma ka puka o ko'u hoalauna;
9If my heart has been enticed by my neighbor’s wife, or I have lurked at his door,
10Alaila e kaapalaoa ka'u wahine na hai, A e kulou na mea e maluna ona.
10then may my own wife grind grain for another, and may other men sleep with her.
11No ka mea, he hewa nui no ia, A he lawehala no ia imua o na lunakanawai.
11For that would be a heinous crime, an iniquity to be judged.
12No ka mea, he ahi ia e hoopau ana, a i ka make, A e uhuki no ia i ka'u mea loaa a pau.
12For it is a fire that burns down to Abaddon; it would root out my entire harvest.
13Ina ua hoowahawaha au i ka hoopono ana i ka'u kauwakane a me ka'u kauwawahine, Ia lakou i hoopaapaa pu ai me au;
13If I have rejected the cause of my manservant or maidservant when they made a complaint against me,
14Heaha ka'u e hana aku ai ke ku mai ke Akua? A ke hookolokolo mai ia, heaha ka'u e olelo aku ai ia ia?
14what will I do when God rises to judge? How will I answer when called to account?
15Aole anei ka mea nana au i hana iloko o ka opu i hana hoi ia ia? I hana hoi oia ia maua iloko o ka opu hookahi?
15Did not He who made me in the womb also make them? Did not the same One form us in the womb?
16Ina ua hoole au i ka makemake o ka poe ilihune, A ua hoonawaliwali i na maka o ka wahinekanemake;
16If I have denied the desires of the poor or allowed the widow’s eyes to fail,
17A ina ua ai au i ka'u wahi ai iki, owau wale no, A i ai ole hoi ka mea makua ole ia mea;
17if I have eaten my morsel alone, not sharing it with the fatherless—
18(No ka mea, mai kuu wa opio mai, ua ulu pu ia me au me he makuakane la, A mai ka opu mai o ko'u makuwahine ua alakai au ia ia:)
18though from my youth I reared him as would a father, and from my mother’s womb I guided the widow—
19Ina ua ike au i ka mea e make ana i ke kapa ole, A i ka mea ilihune me ka mea uhi ole;
19if I have seen one perish for lack of clothing, or a needy man without a cloak,
20Ina ua hoomaikai ole kona puhaka ia'u, A ua pumahana ole ia i ka hulu o ka'u poe hipa;
20if his heart has not blessed me for warming him with the fleece of my sheep,
21Ina ua kau aku au i kuu lima maluna o ka mea makua ole, I ka manawa a'u i ike ai i kuu kokua ma ka ipuka:
21if I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless because I saw that I had support in the gate,
22Alaila e haule iho kuu lima mai ka poohiwi aku, A e haki kuu lima mai ka iwi poohiwi aku.
22then may my arm fall from my shoulder and be torn from its socket.
23No ka mea, he mea weliweli ia'u ka hoopai ana o ke Akua, A no kona kiekie aole loa au i hoomanawanui.
23For calamity from God terrifies me, and His splendor I cannot overpower.
24Ina ua hoonoho au i ke gula i mea e lana'i kuu manao, Ina olelo aku au i ke gula maikai, Oia kuu mea e palele ai;
24If I have put my trust in gold or called pure gold my security,
25Ina ua olioli au no ka nui o kuu waiwai, A no ka mea nui a kuu lima i loaa'i;
25if I have rejoiced in my great wealth because my hand had gained so much,
26Ina ua ike au i ka la i kona lilelile ana, A i ka mahina i kona hele aiai ana;
26if I have beheld the sun in its radiance or the moon moving in splendor,
27A ua hoowalewale malu ia ko'u naau, I honi ai kuu lima i kuu waha;
27so that my heart was secretly enticed and my hand threw a kiss from my mouth,
28He hewa no hoi ia i ka lunakanawai; No ka mea, ua hoole aku au i ke Akua maluna.
28this would also be an iniquity to be judged, for I would have denied God on high.
29Ina ua olioli au i ka make ana o ka mea inaina mai ia'u, A ua hauoli au i ka loaa ana o ka hewa ia ia:
29If I have rejoiced in my enemy’s ruin, or exulted when evil befell him—
30Aole! aole au i ae aku i kuu waha e hana hewa, Ma ke noi aku i ka hooino maluna o kona uhane.
30I have not allowed my mouth to sin by asking for his life with a curse—
31Ina i olelo ole mai na kanaka o kuu halelewa, Ina e loaa ia makou kona io! aole makou e maona.
31if the men of my house have not said, ‘Who is there who has not had his fill?’—
32Aole i moe mawaho ka malihini, Ua wehe ae no au i ko'u puka no ka mea hele.
32but no stranger had to lodge on the street, for my door has been open to the traveler—
33Ina ua uhi au i kuu hala e like me ka ke kanaka, I ka huna ana i kuu hewa iloko o kuu poli;
33if I have covered my transgressions like Adam by hiding my guilt in my heart,
34Alaila e hoohilahilaia au imua o ka aha nui, A na ka wahawaha o na ohana e hooweliweli ia'u, A noho malie no au, a hele ole iwaho o ka puka.
34because I greatly feared the crowds and the contempt of the clans terrified me, so that I kept silent and would not go outside—
35Ina hoi e hoolohe mai kela ia'u! Eia hoi kuu hoailona, e ekemu mai ka Mea mana ia'u! A e kakau kuu enemi i ka palapala hoopii!
35(Oh, that I had one to hear me! Here is my signature. Let the Almighty answer me; let my accuser compose an indictment.
36He oiaio e kau aku au ia mea maluna o ko'u poohiwi, E nakii au ia me he leialii la maluna o'u.
36Surely I would carry it on my shoulder and wear it like a crown.
37E hai aku hoi au ia ia i ka heluna o kuu mau kapuwai; Me he alii la, e hookokoke aku au ia ia.
37I would give account of all my steps; I would approach Him like a prince.)—
38Ina e uwe kuu aina no'u, A o na auwaha hoi ona e kanikau mai;
38if my land cries out against me and its furrows weep together,
39Ina ua ai au i kona hua me ke kala ole, A ua hoomake paha i na haku ona;
39if I have devoured its produce without payment or broken the spirit of its tenants,
40E hoouluia ka laau oioi no ka palaoa, A o ka zizania no ka bale. Ua pau ka olelo a Ioba.
40then let briers grow instead of wheat and stinkweed instead of barley.” Thus conclude the words of Job.
