Job 33
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech, and hearken to all my words.
1NOLAILA ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e Ioba, e hoolohe mai i ka'u mau olelo, A e haliu mai i ka'u mau huaolelo a pau.
2Behold now, I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
2Aia hoi, ano, ke wehe nei au i kuu waha, Ke olelo aku nei kuu elelo ma kuu waha.
3My words shall utter the uprightness of my heart; and that which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.
3Ma ka pono o kuu naau ka'u olelo; A e olelo akaka kuu lehelehe i ka naauao.
4The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty given me life.
4Na ka Uhane o ke Akua owau i hana, Na ka hanu hoi o ka Mea mana owau i hoola.
5If thou canst, answer thou me, set thy words in order before me, stand forth.
5Ina e hiki ia oe ke ekemu mai ia'u, E hooponopono oe imua o'u, e kupaa.
6Behold, I am toward God even as thou art; I also am formed out of the clay.
6Aia hoi, no ke Akua no wau e like me oe; Ua hanaia hoi au mai ka lepo mai.
7Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my pressure be heavy upon thee.
7Aia hoi, aole ko'u makau e hooweliweli ia oe, Aole e hookaumahaia ko'u lima maluna ou.
8Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words;
8He oiaio, ua olelo mai oe maloko o kuu pepeiao, A ua lohe au i ka leo o kau mau olelo;
9'I am clean, without transgression, I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me;
9Ua maemae wau, me ka hala ole, Ua maemae wau, aohe hewa iloko o'u.
10Behold, He findeth occasions against me, He counteth me for His enemy;
10Aia hoi, ua imi no ia i na mea ku e ia'u, Ua manao mai ia ia'u he enemi nona;
11He putteth my feet in the stocks, He marketh all my paths.'
11Ua hookomo no ia i kuu mau wawae ma ka laau kupee, Ua hoohalua no ia i ko'u mau aoao a pau.
12Behold, I answer thee: In this thou art not right, that God is too great for man;
12Aia hoi, ma keia ua pono ole oe; E olelo aku au ia oe, no ka mea, ua oi ke Akua mamua o ke kanaka.
13Why hast thou striven against Him? seeing that He will not answer any of his words.
13No ke aha la oe i hakaka pu ai me ia? No ka mea, aole ia i hoike mai i kana mau mea a pau.
14For God speaketh in one way, yea in two, though man perceiveth it not.
14No ka mea, hookahi ka ke Akua olelo ana mai, A elua hoi, aole nae i manaoia oia.
15In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
15Ma ka moeuhane, ma ka hihio i ka po, I ke kau ana o ka hiamoe nui maluna o kanaka, I ka hiamoe ana maluna o kahi moe;
16Then He openeth the ears of men, and by their chastisement sealeth the decree,
16Alaila wehe ae la ia i na pepeiao o kanaka, A hoopaa mai ia i ke ao ana o lakou,
17That men may put away their purpose, and that He may hide pride from man;
17I hoololi ai ia i ka ke kanaka hana, A e hookaa i ke kiekie mai ke kanaka aku.
18That He may keep back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
18Ua hoopakele no ia i kona uhane mai ka luakupapau mai, A i kona ola hoi mai ka make ana i ka pahikaua.
19He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and all his bones grow stiff;
19Ua hoopaiia oia i ka eha maluna o kona wahi moe, A o ka haukeke o kona mau iwi, ua ikaika ia.
20So that his life maketh him to abhor bread, and his soul dainty food.
20Ua hoopailua kona naau i ka berena, A o kona uhane i ka ai maikai.
21His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones corrode to unsightliness.
21Ua hoopauia kona io mai ka maka aku, A ua ahuwale mai kona mau iwi i ike ole ia.
22Yea, his soul draweth near unto the pit, and his life to the destroyers.
22A ua hookokokeia kona uhane i ka luakupapau, A o kona ola i na mea hoopau.
23If there be for him an angel, an intercessor, one among a thousand, to vouch for a man's uprightness;
23Ina me ia he anela, he hoikeolelo, Hookahi noloko mai o ke tausani, E hoike aku i ke kanaka i kona pono;
24Then He is gracious unto him, and saith: 'Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.'
24A aloha mai oia ia ia, a i iho la, E hoopakele ia ia mai ka iho ana i ka lua; Ua loaa ia'u ka uku hoola.
25His flesh is tenderer than a child's; he returneth to the days of his youth;
25E hana hou ia kona io me ia i ka wa kamalii, E hoi hou no ia i na la o kona wa opio:
26He prayeth unto God, and He is favourable unto him; so that he seeth His face with joy; and He restoreth unto man his righteousness.
26E pule aku no ia i ke Akua, a e oluolu no oia ia ia: A e ike aku ia i kona maka me ka hauoli; A e hoihoi aku no ia no ke kanaka i kona pono.
27He cometh before men, and saith: 'I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not.'
27E nana mai no ia i na kanaka, A e olelo iho kekahi, Ua hewa au, A ua hookahuli au i ka pono, aole nae i hooukuia mai au;
28So He redeemeth his soul from going into the pit, and his life beholdeth the light.
28E hoopakele no ia i kona uhane mai ka hele ana i ka lua, A e ike kona mau maka i ka malamalama.
29Lo, all these things doth God work, twice, yea thrice, with a man,
29Aia hoi, o keia mau mea a pau i hana pinepine ai ke Akua me ke kanaka,
30To bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
30E hoihoi mai i kona uhane mai ka lua mai, E hoomalamalamaia i ka malamalama o ka poe e ola ana.
31Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me; hold thy peace, and I will speak.
31E haliu mai oe, e Ioba, e hoolohe mai ia'u: E noho malie, a na'u e olelo aku.
32If thou hast any thing to say, answer me; speak, for I desire to justify thee.
32Ina he wahi mea, e ekemu mai oe ia'u, E olelo mai, no ka mea ke makemake nei au i kou hoaponoia.
33If not, hearken thou unto me; hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom.
33A i ole hoi, e hoolohe mai oe ia'u, E noho malie, a e ao aku au ia oe i ka noeau.
