Job 17

King James Version with Apocrypha

Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)

1My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.

1U A paupauaho au, ua hookiia kuu mau la, Ua makaukau na halelua no'u.

2Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?

2Aole anei he poe olelo hoino me au? A ke kau nei kuu maka ma ko lakou hoonaukiuki ana?

3Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he 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 speaketh flattery to his friends, 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 aforetime I was as a tabret.

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 dim by reason of sorrow, 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 shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.

8E kahaha ka poe pono i keia, A e hooku e la mea hala ole i ka aia.

9The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be 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: for I cannot find one 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 wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed 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.

14I 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.

15And where is now my hope? 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 pit, when our rest together is in the dust.

16E iho lakou i ua kaola o ka po, I ka wa e maha pu ana i ka lepo.
