Ioba 8
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1A LAILA olelo mai la o Biledada, no Suha, i mai la,
1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2Pehea la ka loihi o kau olelo ana i keia mau mea? A he makani ikaika na huaolelo o kou waha?
2How long wilt thou speak these things ? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?
3E hookahuli anei ke Akua i ka pololei? A e hookekee anei ka Mea mana i ka pono?
3Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?
4Ina paha ua hana hewa kau poe keiki ia ia, Alaila kiola aku la ia ia lakou, no ko lakou lawehala ana;
4If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression;
5Ina e imi oe i ke Akua, A e nonoi aku oe i ka Mea mana;
5If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
6Ina ua maemae oe a pono hoi; He oiaio no, ina ua ala mai no ia ano nou, A ua hoomalu mai ia i ka hale o kou pono ana.
6If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
7Ina ua uuku kou hoomaka ana i kinohou, O kou hopena, e mahuahua loa ana no ia.
7Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.
8No ka mea, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ninau aku oe i ka hanauna mamua, A e hoomakaukau oe e noonoo i ko lakou poe makua:
8For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:
9(No ka mea, inehinei wale no kakou, aohe ike, A o ko kakou mau la ma ka honua, he aka no ia:)
9(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)
10Aole anei lakou e ao mai ia oe, a e hai mai ia oe, A e hoike mai i na olelo mailoko mai o ko lakou naau?
10Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?
11E ulu anei ke papuro ke ole ka lepo poho? E ulu anei ka akaakai ke ole ka wai?
11Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?
12I kona manawa uliuli, aole i okiia, Ua mae no ia mamua o na mauu e ae a pau.
12Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb.
13Pela no ka hope o ka poe a pau e hoopoina ana i ke Akua; A pela no ka manaolana o ka aia e make ai.
13So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite’s hope shall perish:
14O kona manaolana e okiia'ku ia, A o kona mea hilinai, he punawelewele no ia.
14Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider’s web.
15E hilinai iho oia maluna o kona hale, aka, aole ia e paa: E hoopaa aku oia ia mea, aole nae ia e kupono.
15He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
16Ua uliuli oia imua o ka la, A kupu ae kona mau lala ma kona kihapai.
16He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.
17Ua awiliia kona mau aa ma ka waikahe, A ike iho la ia i kahi o na pohaku.
17His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones.
18Aka, e hoopauia aku ia mea mai kona wahi aku, Alaila e hoole mai oia ia ia, aole au i ike ia oe.
18If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying , I have not seen thee.
19Aia hoi, oia ka olioli o kona aoao, A mailoko mai o ka lepo e kupu ae na mea e.
19Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.
20Aia hoi, aole ke Akua e hoowahawaha i ka mea pono, Aole hoi ia e kokua aku i ka poe hana hewa:
20Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man , neither will he help the evil doers:
21A hoopiha mai ia i kou waha i ka akaaka, A i kou lehelehe i ka hooho olioli.
21Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.
22O ka poe inaina ia oe e hoaahuia lakou i ka hilahila: A e lilo ka hale o ka poe hewa i mea ole.
22They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.
