Ioba 9
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1A LAILA olelo mai la o Ioba, i mai la,
1Then Job answered and said,
2Ua ike no au, he oiaio no: A, pehea la e hoaponoia'i ke kanaka imua o ke Akua?
2I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
3Ina makemake oia e hoopaapaa me ia, Aole e hiki ke hoapono imua ona i kekahi hapa tausani.
3If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
4He akamai ia ma ka naau, a ua nui ka ikaika: Owai la ka mea hoopaakiki ku e ia ia, a ua pomaikai?
4He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?
5Oia ka mea hoonee aku i na mauna, aole lakou i ike; Ka mea hoohiolo ia lakou ma kona inaina;
5Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.
6Ka mea hoonaue i ka honua mai kona wahi aku, A haalulu kona mau kukulu;
6Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
7Ka mea olelo aku i ka la, aole ia i puka mai, A hoopaa aku hoi ia i na hoku;
7Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.
8O ka mea wale no nana i hohola na lani, A hele hoi maluna o na ale kiekie o ke kai;
8Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
9O ka mea nana i hana o Uresa nui, me Oriona, A me Peleiade, a me ke kukuluhema loa aku;
9Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
10O ka mea i hana i na mea nui hiki ole ke huliia; A me na mea kupanaha hiki ole ke heluia.
10Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.
11Aia hoi, maalo ae ia ma o'u nei, aole au i ike: Hele mai hoi oia, aka, aole au i hoomaopopo ia ia.
11Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
12Aia hoi, lawe wale aku no ia, owai la ke pale aku ia ia? Owai la ka mea e olelo aku ia ia, Heaha kau e hana nei?
12Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?
13I hoopau ole ae ke Akua i kona inaina, Kulou iho na kokua haaheo malalo ona.
13If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
14Pehea la hoi wau e olelo aku ai ia ia, A e wae ae i na huaolelo imua ona?
14How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?
15Ina he pono ko'u, aole au e olelo aku ia ia, E nonoi aku no wau i kuu lunakanawai.
15Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.
16Ina ua kahea aku au, a ua lohe mai kela; Aole au e hooiaio, na hoolohe mai ia i ko'u leo.
16If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.
17O ka mea e ulupa mai ia'u me ka ino, A hoonui wale mai ia i ko'u mau palapu.
17For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
18Aole ia e ae mai ia'u e hanu i kuu hanu, Aka, hoopiha mai no ia ia'u i na mea awaawa.
18He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
19Ina [e olelo iho au] no ka ikaika, aia hoi, oia ka ikaika: A ina no ka hooponopono ana, Owai la ke hai mai i ka manawa?
19If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead ?
20Ina owau e hoapono ia'u iho, hoohewa mai kuu waha ia'u; Ina [olelo iho au,] Ua hala ole, ina ua hookahuli mai ia ia'u.
20If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say , I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
21Ina ua hala ole au, aole hoi au e ike i kuu uhane: E hoowahawaha no au i kuu ola.
21Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
22Ua hookahi no ia, nolaila e olelo aku au, Ke luku nei no ia i ka mea hala ole a me ka mea hewa.
22This is one thing , therefore I said it , He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
23Ina e pepehi koke mai ka mea uhau, E akaaka mai no ia i ka eha ana o ka poe hala ole.
23If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
24Ua haawiia'ku ka honua iloko o ka lima o ka poe hewa: Ua uhi mai ia i na maka o kona mau lunakanawai; A i ole ia, auhea la, owai la hoi oia?
24The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
25Ua oi ka mama o kuu mau la mamua o ka mea holo: Ke holo ae nei lakou, Ke ike ole nei lakou i ka maikai.
25Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.
26Ua hala aku la lakou e like me na moku holo: E like me ka aeto e lele ana i ka mea ai.
26They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.
27Ina olelo iho au, e hoopoina no wau i kuu kanikau ana, E waiho aku au i kuu maka kaumaha, a e hooluolu ia'u iho;
27If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:
28Makau iho la au i kuu mea ehaeha a pau, Ua ike au, aole oe e hoapono mai ia'u, he hala ole.
28I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
29Ina ua hewa au, No ke aha la hoi wau e luhi make hewa nei?
29If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?
30Ina e holoi au ia'u iho i ka wai hau, A e hoomaemae au i kuu mau lima i ka sopa;
30If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;
31Alaila, e kiola iho oe ia'u iloko o ka lua lepo, A e hoopailua ko'u mau kapa ia'u.
31Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.
32No ka mea, aole ia he kanaka e like me au, e paio aku ai au ia ia, A halawai maua i ka hookolokolo ana.
32For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.
33Aole hoi he mea nana e uwao iwaena o maua, I kau mai ai ia i kona lima maluna o maua elua.
33Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.
34E lawe aku ia i kona kookoo mai o'u aku nei, A mai hooweliweli mai kona makau ia'u.
34Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:
35Alaila e olelo aku au, aole hoi wau e makau ia ia, Aka, aole pela wau ia'u iho.
35Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.
