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 know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
2Ua ike no au, he oiaio no: A, pehea la e hoaponoia'i ke kanaka imua o ke Akua?
3If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
3Ina makemake oia e hoopaapaa me ia, Aole e hiki ke hoapono imua ona i kekahi hapa tausani.
4He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?
4He akamai ia ma ka naau, a ua nui ka ikaika: Owai la ka mea hoopaakiki ku e ia ia, a ua pomaikai?
5Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.
5Oia ka mea hoonee aku i na mauna, aole lakou i ike; Ka mea hoohiolo ia lakou ma kona inaina;
6Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
6Ka mea hoonaue i ka honua mai kona wahi aku, A haalulu kona mau kukulu;
7Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.
7Ka mea olelo aku i ka la, aole ia i puka mai, A hoopaa aku hoi ia i na hoku;
8Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
8O ka mea wale no nana i hohola na lani, A hele hoi maluna o na ale kiekie o ke kai;
9Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
9O ka mea nana i hana o Uresa nui, me Oriona, A me Peleiade, a me ke kukuluhema loa aku;
10Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.
10O ka mea i hana i na mea nui hiki ole ke huliia; A me na mea kupanaha hiki ole ke heluia.
11Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
11Aia hoi, maalo ae ia ma o'u nei, aole au i ike: Hele mai hoi oia, aka, aole au i hoomaopopo ia ia.
12Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?
12Aia hoi, lawe wale aku no ia, owai la ke pale aku ia ia? Owai la ka mea e olelo aku ia ia, Heaha kau e hana nei?
13If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
13I hoopau ole ae ke Akua i kona inaina, Kulou iho na kokua haaheo malalo ona.
14How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?
14Pehea la hoi wau e olelo aku ai ia ia, A e wae ae i na huaolelo imua ona?
15Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.
15Ina he pono ko'u, aole au e olelo aku ia ia, E nonoi aku no wau i kuu lunakanawai.
16If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.
16Ina ua kahea aku au, a ua lohe mai kela; Aole au e hooiaio, na hoolohe mai ia i ko'u leo.
17For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
17O ka mea e ulupa mai ia'u me ka ino, A hoonui wale mai ia i ko'u mau palapu.
18He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
18Aole ia e ae mai ia'u e hanu i kuu hanu, Aka, hoopiha mai no ia ia'u i na mea awaawa.
19If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead ?
19Ina [e olelo iho au] no ka ikaika, aia hoi, oia ka ikaika: A ina no ka hooponopono ana, Owai la ke hai mai i ka manawa?
20If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say , I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
20Ina owau e hoapono ia'u iho, hoohewa mai kuu waha ia'u; Ina [olelo iho au,] Ua hala ole, ina ua hookahuli mai ia ia'u.
21Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
21Ina ua hala ole au, aole hoi au e ike i kuu uhane: E hoowahawaha no au i kuu ola.
22This is one thing , therefore I said it , He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
22Ua hookahi no ia, nolaila e olelo aku au, Ke luku nei no ia i ka mea hala ole a me ka mea hewa.
23If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
23Ina e pepehi koke mai ka mea uhau, E akaaka mai no ia i ka eha ana o ka poe hala ole.
24The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
24Ua haawiia'ku ka honua iloko o ka lima o ka poe hewa: Ua uhi mai ia i na maka o kona mau lunakanawai; A i ole ia, auhea la, owai la hoi oia?
25Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.
25Ua oi ka mama o kuu mau la mamua o ka mea holo: Ke holo ae nei lakou, Ke ike ole nei lakou i ka maikai.
26They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.
26Ua hala aku la lakou e like me na moku holo: E like me ka aeto e lele ana i ka mea ai.
27If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:
27Ina olelo iho au, e hoopoina no wau i kuu kanikau ana, E waiho aku au i kuu maka kaumaha, a e hooluolu ia'u iho;
28I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
28Makau iho la au i kuu mea ehaeha a pau, Ua ike au, aole oe e hoapono mai ia'u, he hala ole.
29If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?
29Ina ua hewa au, No ke aha la hoi wau e luhi make hewa nei?
30If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;
30Ina e holoi au ia'u iho i ka wai hau, A e hoomaemae au i kuu mau lima i ka sopa;
31Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.
31Alaila, e kiola iho oe ia'u iloko o ka lua lepo, A e hoopailua ko'u mau kapa ia'u.
32For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.
32No ka mea, aole ia he kanaka e like me au, e paio aku ai au ia ia, A halawai maua i ka hookolokolo ana.
33Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.
33Aole hoi he mea nana e uwao iwaena o maua, I kau mai ai ia i kona lima maluna o maua elua.
34Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:
34E lawe aku ia i kona kookoo mai o'u aku nei, A mai hooweliweli mai kona makau ia'u.
35Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.
35Alaila e olelo aku au, aole hoi wau e makau ia ia, Aka, aole pela wau ia'u iho.
