Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Then Zophar the Naamathite answered,
1A LAILA olelo aku la o Zopara, no Naama, i aku la,
2“Therefore my thoughts answer me, even by reason of my haste that is in me.
2O kuu mau manao ka mea e olelo aku ai au, A no kuu ikaika iloko o'u.
3I have heard the reproof which puts me to shame. The spirit of my understanding answers me.
3O ke ao ana o kuu hoinoia ka'u i lohe, A o ka uhane o kuu naauao, oia ka'u mea e pane aku nei.
4Don’t you know this from old time, since man was placed on earth,
4Ua ike anei oe i keia, mai ka wa kahiko mai, Mai ka manawa i hoonohoia'i ke kanaka maluna o ka honua,
5that the triumphing of the wicked is short, the joy of the godless but for a moment?
5O ka olioli o ka poe hewa, he pokole ia, A o ka lealea o ka aia, no ka minute ia?
6Though his height mount up to the heavens, and his head reach to the clouds,
6Ina e pii ae kona kiekie i na lani, A e hiki kona poo i na ao;
7yet he will perish forever like his own dung. Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’
7E nalo loa oia e like me kona lepo: E olelo nuanei ka poe i ike ia ia, Auhea oia?
8He will fly away as a dream, and will not be found. Yes, he will be chased away like a vision of the night.
8E like me ka moeuhane e lele aku ia, aole e loaa oia: A e holo aku oia e like me ka hihio o ka po.
9The eye which saw him will see him no more, neither will his place see him any more.
9O ka maka i ike ia ia, aole ia e ike hou ia ia; Aole hoi e ike hou kona wahi ia ia.
10His children will seek the favor of the poor. His hands will give back his wealth.
10E hoolaulea kana mau keiki i ka poe ilihune, A e hoihoi aku kona mau lima i ko lakou waiwai.
11His bones are full of his youth, but youth will lie down with him in the dust.
11Ua piha kona mau iwi i kona opiopio, A e moe pu ia me ia ma ka lepo.
12“Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue,
12Ina e ono ka hewa ma kona wana, A e huna ia mea malalo o kona alelo;
13though he spare it, and will not let it go, but keep it still within his mouth,
13Ina e aua ia mea, a haalele ole ia, A e malama hoi ia mawaena konu o kona waha;
14yet his food in his bowels is turned. It is cobra venom within him.
14O ka ai iloko o kona naau e hoololiia, Oia ka mea make o na moonihoawa iloko ona.
15He has swallowed down riches, and he will vomit them up again. God will cast them out of his belly.
15Ua moni no ia i ka waiwai, A e luai hou aku no ia mea; Na ke Akua e hoohemo ia mea mai kona opu aku.
16He will suck cobra venom. The viper’s tongue will kill him.
16E omo no oia i ka mea make o na moonihoawa: O ke elelo o ka moomake e pepehi ia ia.
17He will not look at the rivers, the flowing streams of honey and butter.
17Aole ia e ike i ua kahawai, I na muliwai, me na kahawai o ka meli, a me ka waiu.
18He will restore that for which he labored, and will not swallow it down. He will not rejoice according to the substance that he has gotten.
18E hoihoi aku no ia i ka mea ana i luhi ai, aole ia e moni iho ia; E like me ka waiwai e hoihoiia'aku, aole ia e olioli ilaila.
19For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor. He has violently taken away a house, and he will not build it up.
19No ka mea, na hookaumaha, ua haalele i ka poe ilihune; Ua lawe wale aku ia i ka hale ana i kukulu ole ai.
20“Because he knew no quietness within him, he will not save anything of that in which he delights.
20No ia hoi, aole ia e ike i ka oluolu maloko o kona opu, Aole ia e hookoe i kana mea i makemake ai.
21There was nothing left that he didn’t devour, therefore his prosperity will not endure.
21Aohe mea e koe no kana ai; Nolaila, aole he manaolana no kona pomaikai.
22In the fullness of his sufficiency, distress will overtake him. The hand of everyone who is in misery will come on him.
22Ma ka nui ana o kona waiwai, e hiki ka popilikia ia ia; O kela lima keia lima o ka poino e hiki mai ia maluna ona.
23When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath on him. It will rain on him while he is eating.
23I ka wa e hoopiha ai ia i kona opu, E hoolei mai no ko Akua i kona inaina maluna ona, A e hooua mai no ia maluna ona i kana ai ana.
24He will flee from the iron weapon. The bronze arrow will strike him through.
24E holo aku ia mai ka mea kana hao aku, E houia oia i ke kakaka keleawe.
25He draws it out, and it comes out of his body. Yes, the glittering point comes out of his liver. Terrors are on him.
25Hukiia mai la ia a puka ae mai ke kino mai; A puka ae hoi ka pahikaua huali mai kona au mai; Maluna ona na mea weliweli.
26All darkness is laid up for his treasures. An unfanned fire will devour him. It will consume that which is left in his tent.
26Ua hoahuia ka poino a pau no kona waiwai; O ke ahi i hoa ole ia e hoopau ia ia; E popilikia ka mea o koe iloko o kona halelewa.
27The heavens will reveal his iniquity. The earth will rise up against him.
27E hoike mai ka lani i kona hewa; E ku e mai ka honua ia ia.
28The increase of his house will depart. They will rush away in the day of his wrath.
28O ka waiwai o kona hale, e nalowale ia, E uininiia aku ia i ka la o kona inaina.
29This is the portion of a wicked man from God, the heritage appointed to him by God.”
29Oia ka uku o ke kanaka hewa mai ke Akua mai, Oia kona hoilina i oleloia mai e ke Akua.
