Ioba 31
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1U A hana au i berita me kuu mau maka; A no ke aha la au e nana aku ai i ke kaikamahine?
1I made a covenant with my eyes, that I would not so much as think upon 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 part should God from above have in me, and what inheritance the Almighty from on high?
3Aole anei he make no ka poe pono ole? A me ka luku no ka poe hana hewa?
3Is not destruction to the wicked, and aversion to them that work iniquity?
4Aole anei ia i ike i ko'u mau aoao, A i helu hoi i kuu mau kapuwai a pau?
4Doth not he consider my ways, and number all my steps?
5Ina ua hele au ma ka wahahee, Ina ua lalelale kuu wawae i ka hoopunipuni;
5If I have walked in vanity, and my foot hath made haste to deceit:
6E kaupaonaia au ma ke kaupaona pono, I ike ai ke Akua i kuu oiaio.
6Let him weigh me in a just balance, and let God know my simplicity.
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 step hath turned out of the way, and if my heart hath followed my eyes, and if a spot hath cleaved to my hands:
8Alaila e lulu no au, a na hai e ai; A e uhukiia kuu mea ulu.
8Then let me sow and let another eat: and let my offspring be rooted out.
9Ina ua hoowalewaleia ko'u naau e ka wahine, Ina ua hoohalua au ma ka puka o ko'u hoalauna;
9If my heart hath been deceived upon a woman, and if I have laid wait at my friend’s door:
10Alaila e kaapalaoa ka'u wahine na hai, A e kulou na mea e maluna ona.
10Let my wife be the harlot of another, and let other men lie with her.
11No ka mea, he hewa nui no ia, A he lawehala no ia imua o na lunakanawai.
11For this is a heinous crime, and a most grievous iniquity.
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.
12It is a fire that devoureth even to destruction, and rooteth up all things that spring.
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 despised to abide judgment with my manservant, or my maidservant, when they had any controversy 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?
14For what shall I do when God shall rise to judge? and when he shall examine, what shall I answer him?
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 that made me in the womb make him also: and did not one and the same form me 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 to the poor what they desired, and have made the eyes of the widow wait:
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, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof:
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:)
18(For from my infancy mercy grew up with me: and it came out with me from my mother’s womb:)
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 despised him that was perishing for want of clothing, and the poor man that had no covering:
20Ina ua hoomaikai ole kona puhaka ia'u, A ua pumahana ole ia i ka hulu o ka'u poe hipa;
20If his sides have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed 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, even when I saw myself superior in the gate:
22Alaila e haule iho kuu lima mai ka poohiwi aku, A e haki kuu lima mai ka iwi poohiwi aku.
22Let my shoulder fall from its joint, and let my arm with its bones be broken.
23No ka mea, he mea weliweli ia'u ka hoopai ana o ke Akua, A no kona kiekie aole loa au i hoomanawanui.
23For I have always feared God as waves swelling over me, and his weight I was not able to bear.
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 thought gold my strength, and have said to fine gold: My confidence:
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 over my great riches, and because my hand had gotten much.
26Ina ua ike au i ka la i kona lilelile ana, A i ka mahina i kona hele aiai ana;
26If I beheld the sun when it shined, and the moon going in brightness:
27A ua hoowalewale malu ia ko'u naau, I honi ai kuu lima i kuu waha;
27And my heart in secret hath rejoiced, and I have kissed my hand with my mouth:
28He hewa no hoi ia i ka lunakanawai; No ka mea, ua hoole aku au i ke Akua maluna.
28Which is a very great iniquity, and a denial against the most high God.
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 been glad at the downfall of him that hated me, and have rejoiced that evil had found him.
30Aole! aole au i ae aku i kuu waha e hana hewa, Ma ke noi aku i ka hooino maluna o kona uhane.
30For I have not given my mouth to sin, by wishing a curse to his soul.
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 tabernacle have not said: Who will give us of his flesh that we may be filled?
32Aole i moe mawaho ka malihini, Ua wehe ae no au i ko'u puka no ka mea hele.
32The stranger did not stay without, my door was open to the traveller.
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 as a man I have hid my sin, and have concealed my iniquity in my bosom.
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.
34If I have been afraid at a very great multitude, and the contempt of kinsmen hath terrified me: and I have not rather held my peace, and not gone out of the door.
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!
35Who would grant me a hearer, that the Almighty may hear my desire; and that he himself that judgeth would write a book,
36He oiaio e kau aku au ia mea maluna o ko'u poohiwi, E nakii au ia me he leialii la maluna o'u.
36That I may carry it on my shoulder, and put it about me as 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.
37At every step of mine I would pronounce it, and offer it as to a prince.
38Ina e uwe kuu aina no'u, A o na auwaha hoi ona e kanikau mai;
38If my land cry against me, and with it the furrows thereof mourn:
39Ina ua ai au i kona hua me ke kala ole, A ua hoomake paha i na haku ona;
39If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, and have afflicted the soul of the tillers thereof:
40E hoouluia ka laau oioi no ka palaoa, A o ka zizania no ka bale. Ua pau ka olelo a Ioba.
40Let thistles grow up to me instead of wheat, and thorns instead of barley.
