Ioba 4
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1A LAILA pane mai la o Elipaza no Temana, i mai la,
1Then Eliphaz the Themanite answered, and said:
2A i hoao makou e kamailio pu me oe, e uluhua anei oe? Aka, owai la ka mea hiki ke uumi i ka olelo?
2If we begin to speak to thee, perhaps thou wilt take it ill, but who can withhold the words he hath conceived?
3Aia hoi; ua ao aku oe i na mea he nui, A ua hooikaika oe i na lima nawaliwali.
3Behold thou hast taught many, and thou hast strengthened the weary hands:
4Ua kukulu iluna kau olelo i ka mea e hina ana, A ua hookupaa oe i na kuli e hemo ana.
4Thy words have confirmed them that were staggering, and thou hast strengthened the trembling knees:
5Ano hoi, ua hiki mai ia maluna ou, a ua maule oe, Ua hoopa mai ia ia oe, a ua popilikia oe.
5But now the scourge is come upon thee, and thou faintest: it hath touched thee, and thou art troubled.
6Aole anei keia kou makau, a me kou manaolana, O kou mea i kuko ai, a me ka pololei o kou mau aoao?
6Where is thy fear, thy fortitude, thy patience, and the perfection of thy ways?
7Ke noi aku nei au, e hoomanao oe, owai ka mea hala ole i make wale? Auhea hoi ka poe pono i hookiia'ku?
7Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished being innocent? or when were the just destroyed?
8E like me ka'u i ike ai, O na mea i waele ino, a mahi hewa, ohi no lakou ia mea hookahi.
8On the contrary I have seen those who work iniquity, and sow sorrows, and reap them,
9Ma ka ha ana o ke Akua ua make lakou, A ma ka hanu o kona mau puka ihu ua hoopauia lakou.
9Perishing by the blast of God, and consumed by the spirit of his wrath.
10O ka uwo ana o ka liona, o ka leo o ka liona hae, A o na niho o na liona hou, ua haki.
10The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the lioness, and the teeth of the whelps of lions are broken:
11O ka liona, ua make ia no ka nele o ka mea pio, A o na keiki o ka liona wahine, ua hele liilii lakou.
11The tiger hath perished for want of prey, and the young lions are scattered abroad.
12Ua lawe malu ia mai kekahi olelo ia'u, A ua loaa i kuu pepeiao ka lohe iki o ia mea.
12Now there was a word spoken to me in private, and my ears by stealth as it were received the veins of its whisper.
13Iloko o na manao ma na moeuhane i ka po, I ka manawa i pauhia ai na kanaka i ka hiamoe,
13In the horror of a vision by night, when deep sleep is wont to hold men,
14Hiki mai ka makau ia'u a me ka haalulu, A hoohaalulu mai ia i ka nui o ko'u mau iwi.
14Fear seized upon me, and trembling, and all my bones were affrighted:
15Alaila maale ae la he uhane imua o ko'u maka; Ku iho la iluna ka hulu o ko'u io:
15And when a spirit passed before me, the hair of my flesh stood up.
16Ku malie iho la ia, aole au i ike i kona ano; He kii imua o kou mau maka, He makani uuku, a he leo ka'u i lohe:
16There stood one whose countenance I knew not, an image before my eyes, and I heard the voice as it were of a gentle wind:
17E oi anei ka pono o ke kanaka mamua o ko ke Akua? He oi anei ka maemae o ke kanaka mamua o ka Mea nana ia i hana?
17Shall man be justified in comparison of God, or shall a man be more pure than his maker?
18Aia hoi, aole ia i hilinai i kana poe kauwa, A hooili no ia i ka hewa maluna o kona poe anela:
18Behold they that serve him are not steadfast, and in his angels he found wickedness:
19Heaha la hoi ka poe e noho ana i na hale lepo, Ha ka lepo ko lakou hookumu ana, ua ulupaia lakou imua o ka mu?
19How much more shall they that dwell in houses of clay, who have an earthly foundation, be consumed as with the moth?
20Ua lukuia lakou mai kakahiaka a ke ahiahi: Ua make loa lakou, aohe mea nana i manao.
20From morning till evening they shall be cut down: and because no one understandeth, they shall perish for ever.
21Aole anei e nalo wale aku ko lakou maikai ana? Make no lakou me ka naauao ole.
21And they that shall be left, shall be taken away from them: they shall die, and not in wisdom.
