Job 4
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said:
1A LAILA pane mai la o Elipaza no Temana, i mai la,
2If one venture a word unto thee, wilt thou be weary? But who can withhold himself from speaking?
2A i hoao makou e kamailio pu me oe, e uluhua anei oe? Aka, owai la ka mea hiki ke uumi i ka olelo?
3Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.
3Aia hoi; ua ao aku oe i na mea he nui, A ua hooikaika oe i na lima nawaliwali.
4Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.
4Ua kukulu iluna kau olelo i ka mea e hina ana, A ua hookupaa oe i na kuli e hemo ana.
5But now it is come upon thee, and thou art weary; it toucheth thee, and thou art affrighted.
5Ano hoi, ua hiki mai ia maluna ou, a ua maule oe, Ua hoopa mai ia ia oe, a ua popilikia oe.
6Is not thy fear of God thy confidence, and thy hope the integrity of thy ways?
6Aole anei keia kou makau, a me kou manaolana, O kou mea i kuko ai, a me ka pololei o kou mau aoao?
7Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? Or where were the upright cut off?
7Ke noi aku nei au, e hoomanao oe, owai ka mea hala ole i make wale? Auhea hoi ka poe pono i hookiia'ku?
8According as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow mischief, reap the same.
8E like me ka'u i ike ai, O na mea i waele ino, a mahi hewa, ohi no lakou ia mea hookahi.
9By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of His anger are they consumed.
9Ma ka ha ana o ke Akua ua make lakou, A ma ka hanu o kona mau puka ihu ua hoopauia lakou.
10The lion roareth, and the fierce lion howleth — yet the teeth of the young lions are broken.
10O ka uwo ana o ka liona, o ka leo o ka liona hae, A o na niho o na liona hou, ua haki.
11The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the whelps of the lioness are scattered abroad.
11O ka liona, ua make ia no ka nele o ka mea pio, A o na keiki o ka liona wahine, ua hele liilii lakou.
12Now a word was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a whisper thereof.
12Ua lawe malu ia mai kekahi olelo ia'u, A ua loaa i kuu pepeiao ka lohe iki o ia mea.
13In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,
13Iloko o na manao ma na moeuhane i ka po, I ka manawa i pauhia ai na kanaka i ka hiamoe,
14Fear came upon me, and trembling, and all my bones were made to shake.
14Hiki mai ka makau ia'u a me ka haalulu, A hoohaalulu mai ia i ka nui o ko'u mau iwi.
15Then a spirit passed before my face, that made the hair of my flesh to stand up.
15Alaila maale ae la he uhane imua o ko'u maka; Ku iho la iluna ka hulu o ko'u io:
16It stood still, but I could not discern the appearance thereof; a form was before mine eyes; I heard a still voice:
16Ku malie iho la ia, aole au i ike i kona ano; He kii imua o kou mau maka, He makani uuku, a he leo ka'u i lohe:
17'Shall mortal man be just before God? Shall a man be pure before his Maker?
17E oi anei ka pono o ke kanaka mamua o ko ke Akua? He oi anei ka maemae o ke kanaka mamua o ka Mea nana ia i hana?
18Behold, He putteth no trust in His servants, and His angels He chargeth with folly;
18Aia hoi, aole ia i hilinai i kana poe kauwa, A hooili no ia i ka hewa maluna o kona poe anela:
19How much more them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth!
19Heaha la hoi ka poe e noho ana i na hale lepo, Ha ka lepo ko lakou hookumu ana, ua ulupaia lakou imua o ka mu?
20Betwixt morning and evening they are shattered; they perish for ever without any regarding it.
20Ua lukuia lakou mai kakahiaka a ke ahiahi: Ua make loa lakou, aohe mea nana i manao.
21Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them? They die, and that without wisdom.'
21Aole anei e nalo wale aku ko lakou maikai ana? Make no lakou me ka naauao ole.
