Ioba 31
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
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 mine eyes; how then should I look upon a maid?
2A heaha ka haawina a ke Akua mai luna mai? Heaha hoi ka hooilina a ka Mea mana mai kahi kiekie mai?
2For what would be the portion of God from above, and the heritage of the Almighty from on high?
3Aole anei he make no ka poe pono ole? A me ka luku no ka poe hana hewa?
3Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, and disaster 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?
4Doth not He see my ways, and count all my steps?
5Ina ua hele au ma ka wahahee, Ina ua lalelale kuu wawae i ka hoopunipuni;
5If I have walked with vanity, and my foot hath hasted to deceit —
6E kaupaonaia au ma ke kaupaona pono, I ike ai ke Akua i kuu oiaio.
6Let me be weighed in a just balance, that God may know mine 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 step hath turned out of the way, and my heart walked after mine eyes, and if any 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; yea, let the produce of my field 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 have been enticed unto a woman, and I have lain in wait at my neighbour's door;
10Alaila e kaapalaoa ka'u wahine na hai, A e kulou na mea e maluna ona.
10Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
11No ka mea, he hewa nui no ia, A he lawehala no ia imua o na lunakanawai.
11For that were a heinous crime; yea, it were an iniquity to be punished by the judges.
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 consumeth unto destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
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 did despise the cause of my man-servant, or of my maid-servant, when they contended with 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 then shall I do when God riseth up? And when He remembereth, 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? And did not One fashion 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 withheld aught that the poor desired, or have caused the eyes of the widow 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;
17Or have eaten my morsel myself 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:)
18Nay, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, and I have been her guide 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 seen any wanderer in want of clothing, or that the needy 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 loins 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, because I saw my help in the gate;
22Alaila e haule iho kuu lima mai ka poohiwi aku, A e haki kuu lima mai ka iwi poohiwi aku.
22Then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder-blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.
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 was a terror to me, and by reason of His majesty I could do nothing.
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 made gold my hope, and have said to the fine gold: 'Thou art 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 rejoiced because my wealth was great, 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, or the moon walking in brightness;
27A ua hoowalewale malu ia ko'u naau, I honi ai kuu lima i kuu waha;
27And my heart hath been secretly enticed, and my mouth hath kissed my hand;
28He hewa no hoi ia i ka lunakanawai; No ka mea, ua hoole aku au i ke Akua maluna.
28This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judges; for I should have lied to God that is above.
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 rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or exulted when evil 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.
30Yea, I suffered not my mouth to sin by asking 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 tent said not: 'Who can find one that hath not been satisfied with his meat?'
32Aole i moe mawaho ka malihini, Ua wehe ae no au i ko'u puka no ka mea hele.
32The stranger did not lodge in the street; my doors I opened to the roadside.
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 after the manner of men I covered my transgressions, by hiding mine 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.
34Because I feared the great multitude, and the most contemptible among families terrified me, so that I kept silence, and went not 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!
35Oh that I had one to hear me! — Lo, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me — and that I had the indictment which mine adversary hath written!
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 upon my shoulder; I would bind it unto 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.
37I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.
38Ina e uwe kuu aina no'u, A o na auwaha hoi ona e kanikau mai;
38If my land cry out against me, and the furrows thereof weep together;
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, or have caused the tillers thereof to be disappointed —
40E hoouluia ka laau oioi no ka palaoa, A o ka zizania no ka bale. Ua pau ka olelo a Ioba.
40Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and noisome weeds instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.
