Job 17
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct, the grave is ready for me.
1U A paupauaho au, ua hookiia kuu mau la, Ua makaukau na halelua no'u.
2Surely there are mockers with me, and mine eye abideth in their provocation.
2Aole anei he poe olelo hoino me au? A ke kau nei kuu maka ma ko lakou hoonaukiuki ana?
3Give now a pledge, be surety for me with Thyself; who else is there that will strike hands with me?
3E waiho iho ano, e hana mai ia'u i malu me oe; Owai ka mea e pai i na lima me au.
4For Thou hast hid their heart from understanding; therefore shalt Thou not exalt them.
4No ka mea, ua hoohuna oe i ka naauao mai ko lakou naau aku; Nolaila, aole oe e hookiekie ia lakou.
5He that denounceth his friends for the sake of flattery, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
5O ka mea e kumakaia i kona mau hoalauna no ka waiwai pio, E hoopauia na maka o kaua poe keiki.
6He hath made me also a byword of the people; and I am become one in whose face they spit.
6Ua hooku mai oia ia'u i mea e olelo nane ia e na kanaka; A ua lilo au i mea hoopailua imua o lakou.
7Mine eye also is dimmed by reason of vexation, and all my members are as a shadow.
7Ua ponalonalo kuu maka no ka uwe ana, A o kuu helehelena a pau ua like ia me ke aka.
8Upright men are astonished at this, and the innocent stirreth up himself against the godless.
8E kahaha ka poe pono i keia, A e hooku e la mea hala ole i ka aia.
9Yet the righteous holdeth on his way, and he that hath clean hands waxeth stronger and stronger.
9E hoomau no ka mea pono i kona aoao, A o ka mea lima maemae, e hoomahuahua aku ia i ka ikaika.
10But as for you all, do ye return, and come now; and I shall not find a wise man among you.
10Aka, o oukou a pau, e hoi mai no, No ka mea, aole e loaa ia'u iwaena o oukou ka mea naauao.
11My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
11Ua hala kuu mau la, ua okiia'ku kuu mau noonoo, O na manaolana o kuu naau.
12They change the night into day; the light is short because of darkness.
12Ua hoololi lakou i ka po i ao, O ka malamalama, ua pokole ia no ka pouli.
13If I look for the nether-world as my house; if I have spread my couch in the darkness;
13Ina e kakali aku au, O ka luakupapau ko'u hale: Ua hohola aku au i kuu wahi moe ma ka pouli.
14If I have said to corruption: 'Thou art my father', to the worm: 'Thou art my mother, and my sister';
14Ua kapa aku au i ka palaho, O oe ko'u makuakane, A i ka ilo, O oe ko'u makuwahine, a me ko'u kaikuwahine.
15Where then is my hope? And as for my hope, who shall see it?
15Auhea hoi kuu manaolana? A o ko'u manaolana, owai la ka mea e ike aku ia?
16They shall go down to the bars of the nether-world, when we are at rest together in the dust.
16E iho lakou i ua kaola o ka po, I ka wa e maha pu ana i ka lepo.
