King James Version with Apocrypha
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Then Job answered and said,
1A LAILA olelo mai la o Ioba, i mai la,
2I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.
2He nui na mea like a'u i lohe ai: He poe hooluolu hoopilikia oukou a pau.
3Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?
3He hope anei no na huaolelo makani? Heaha ka mea hoala mai nei ia oe, i olelo mai ai oe?
4I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul’s stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.
4E hiki no ia'u ke olelo aku e like me ka oukou; Ina paha ua noho oukou ma ko'u wahi. E hiki no ia'u ke hookui i ka olelo ku e ia oukou; A e hooluliluli aku i ko'u poo ia oukou.
5But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief .
5Aka, e hookupaa no au ia oukou me kuu waha, A o ka hooluolu ana o kuu lehelehe, e hoopaa aku no ia.
6Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?
6Ina e olelo aku au, aole e oluolu kuu eha; Ina e noho malie hoi au, pehea ia e haalele ai ia'u?
7But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.
7Aka, ano ua hooluhi mai ia ia'u; Ua luku mai oe i ko'u ohana a pau.
8And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.
8Ua hoopaa mai oe ia'u, i mea hoike; O kuu wiwi, ke ku mai no ia ia'u, A e hoike mai imua o kuu maka.
9He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
9Ke haehae mai nei kona huhu, a ua inaina mai ia ia'u; Ke nau mai nei ia ia'u me kona mau niho; O kuu enemi, ke hookala nei ia i kona mau maka maluna o'u.
10They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.
10Ua hamama lakou maluna o'u me ko lakou waha; Ua papai lakou ia'u ma ka papalina me ka hoino: Ua hoakoakoaia lakou ma kahi hookahi e ku e ia'u.
11God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
11Ua hoolilo ke Akua ia'u i ka poe hewa, A ua haawi ia'u iloko o ka lima o ka poe aia.
12I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.
12I noho maluhia la no wan, aka, ua ulupa mai nei ia ia'u; Ua lalau mai ia ma kuu a-i, a ulupa mai no ia ia'u, Ua hooku mai ia'u i hoailona nona.
13His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.
13Ua hoopuni kona poe panapua ia'u, Ua wahi mai ia i na puupaa o'u, aole e hookuu ae; Ua ninini iho ia i kuu au ma ka honua.
14He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant.
14Ua wawahi roai ia ia'u, me ka wahi ana mahope o ka wahi ana, Ua lele mai ia maluna o'u me he mea ikaika la.
15I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust.
15Ua humuhumu au i ke kapa ino maluna o kuu ili, Ua hoohaumia au i kuu pepeiaohao iloko o ka lepo.
16My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
16Ua ulaula kuu maka i ka uwe ana, A maluna o ko'u mau lihilihi maka ke aka o ka make.
17Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.
17Aole no ka mea pono ole iloko o ko'u lima; A o ka'u pule, ua maemae hoi ia.
18O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.
18E ka honua, mai uhi oe i ko'u koko, Aole hoi e haawi i wahi no kuu uwe ana.
19Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.
19Ano hoi, aia ma ka lani kuu mea ike maka, A o kuu mea hoike ma na wahi kiekie.
20My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.
20O kuu poe hoino, o ko'u mau makamaka no ia: Ke hu aku nei kuu maka i ke Akua.
21O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour!
21Ina he mea e uwao me ke Akua no ke kanaka, E like me ke kanaka no kona hoalauna!
22When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.
22A hala he hapa na makahiki, Alaila e hele aku au i ke ala aole au e hoi hou mai.
