Ioba 5
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1E KAHEA ano, ina paha e pane mai kekahi ia oe; Io wai la o na mea laa e huli ai oe?
1Call now; is there any that will answer thee? And to which of the holy ones wilt thou turn?
2No ka mea, ke pepehi nei ka inaina i ka mea naaupo, A ke hoomake nei ka huhu i ka mea hawawa.
2For anger killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.
3Ua ike au i ka mea naaupo e ulu ana; A hoino koke aku au i kona noho ana.
3I have seen the foolish taking root; but suddenly I beheld his habitation cursed.
4Ua mamao aku kana poe keiki i ka maluhia, Ua ulupaia lakou ma ka pukapa, Aohe mea nana e hoopakele.
4His children are far from safety, and are crushed in the gate, with none to deliver them.
5O kana ai i ohiia ua pau i ka mea pololi, A ua lawe aku ia mea mailoko mai o na laau kuku, A kaili na powa i ko lakou waiwai.
5Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the snare gapeth for their substance.
6No ka mea, aole e puka mai ka popilikia mai ka lepo mai, Aole hoi e kupu mai ka ehaeha mailoko mai o ka honua.
6For affliction cometh not forth from the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
7Aka, ua hanau ke kanaka no ka ehaeha, E like me na hunaahi i lele ae iluna.
7But man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
8Aka e imi au i ke Akua, A i ke Akua e waiho aku i kuu olelo;
8But as for me, I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause;
9Oia ke hana i na mea nui, a hiki ole ke hoomaopopoia; I na mea kupaianaha, a hiki ole ke heluia:
9Who doeth great things and unsearchable, marvellous things without number;
10Ka mea e haawi ana i ka ua maluna o ka honua, A e hoouna mai ana i na wai maluna o na kula.
10Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields;
11E hookiekie iluna i ka poe i hoowahawahaia; I kaikaiia'i iluna i kahi malu ka poe e uwe ana.
11So that He setteth up on high those that are low, and those that mourn are exalted to safety.
12Ke hookahuli nei oia i na manao o ka poe maalea, A hiki ole i ko lakou lima ke hooko i ko lakou mea i manao ai.
12He frustrateth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands can perform nothing substantial.
13Ke hei aku nei oia i ka poe akamai iloko o ko lakou maalea; A ua hoohioloia ka manao o ka poe paakiki.
13He taketh the wise in their own craftiness; and the counsel of the wily is carried headlong.
14I ke ao halawai lakou me ka pouli, A ke hana nei lakou i ka wa awakea, e like me ia i ka po.
14They meet with darkness in the day-time, and grope at noonday as in the night.
15Aka, ke hoopakele no ia i ka poe ilihune mai ka pahikaua mai, mai ko lakou waha mai, A mai ka lima mai o ka mea ikaika.
15But He saveth from the sword of their mouth, even the needy from the hand of the mighty.
16Nolaila, ua loaa i ka mea hune ka manaolana, A ua hoopaa ka hewa i kona waha.
16So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
17Aia hoi, pomaikai ke kanaka a ke Akua i hoeha mai; Nolaila, mai hoowahawaha oe i ka hahau ana mai o ka Mea mana:
17Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth; therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty.
18No ka mea, ke hoeha mai nei ia, a e lapaau mai hoi: Ke hahau mai nei oia, a e hoola mai hoi kona mau lima.
18For He maketh sore, and bindeth up; He woundeth, and His hands make whole.
19Iloko o na pilikia eono e hoopakele mai oia ia oe: A iloko o ka hiku hoi, aole e hoopa mai ka ino ia oe.
19He will deliver thee in six troubles; yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
20Iloko o ka wi e hoopakele mai oia ia oe i ka make; A iloko o ke kaua, mai ka lima o ka pahikaua mai.
20In famine He will redeem thee from death; and in war from the power of the sword.
21E hunaia oe mai ke alelo hoino mai: Aole hoi oe e makau i ka luku, ke hiki mai.
21Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue; neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
22I ka luku a i ka pololi e akaaka no oe: Aole hoi oe e makau i na holoholona hihiu o ka honua.
22At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh; neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
23No ka mea, e noho kuikahi oe me na pohaku o ke kula; A e maluhia na holoholona hihiu o ke kula me oe.
23For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field; and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
24A e ike no oe, he maluhia kou halelewa: A e nana no oe i kou hale, aohe mea nalo.
24And thou shalt know that thy tent is in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt miss nothing.
25A e ike no oe, he nui kou hua, A o kau poe keiki, e like me ka weuweu o ka honua.
25Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
26E hele auanei oe i ka luakupapau me ka ikaika nui, E like me na puu hua palaoa i kona manawa.
26Thou shalt come to thy grave in a ripe age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in its season.
27Aia hoi o keia ka makou i manao ai, pela io no; E hoolohe oe, a e ike oe ia mea pono nou.
27Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.
