Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Job again took up his parable, and said,
1A OLELO hou mai la o Ioba i kana olelonane, i mai la,
2“As God lives, who has taken away my right, the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter
2Ma ke ola o ke Akua, nana i lawe aku kuu pono; A ma ka Mea mana, nana i hooawahia kuu uhane;
3(for the length of my life is still in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils);
3I ka manawa a pau o kuu hanu iloko o'u, A o ke ola o ke Akua iloko o kuu mau puka ihu;
4surely my lips will not speak unrighteousness, neither will my tongue utter deceit.
4Aole e olelo kuu lehelehe i ka hewa, A o kuu elelo aole e hoike aku i ka wahahee.
5Far be it from me that I should justify you. Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
5Aole loa wau e hoapono aku ia oukou, a make au; Aole owau e lawe aku i kuu pono mai o'u aku la.
6I hold fast to my righteousness, and will not let it go. My heart will not reproach me so long as I live.
6Ma kuu pono ke hoopaa nei au, aole au e hookuu aku; Aole e hoino mai ia'u kuu naau i kekahi o kuu mau la.
7“Let my enemy be as the wicked. Let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.
7E hoohalikeia kuu enemi me ka mea hewa, A o ka mea ku e mai ia'u me he mea pono ole la.
8For what is the hope of the godless, when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
8No ka mea, heaha ka manaelana o ka aia, i ka wa e hoopau ai ia ia, I ku wa e kaili aku ai ke Akua i kona uhane?
9Will God hear his cry when trouble comes on him?
9E hoolohe mai anei ke Akua i kona auwe ana, I ka manawa e hiki mai ai ka popilikia maluna ona?
10Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call on God at all times?
10E hauoli anei ia i ka Mea mana? E kahea mau loa anei ia i ke Akua?
11I will teach you about the hand of God. I will not conceal that which is with the Almighty.
11E ao aku au ia oukou ma ka lima o ke Akua: Aole au e huna i ka mea me ka Mea mana.
12Behold, all of you have seen it yourselves; why then have you become altogether vain?
12Aia hoi, o oukou a pau, ua hoomaopopo oukou ia; No ke aha la oukou i manao lapuwale ai pela?
13“This is the portion of a wicked man with God, the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.
13Eia ka uku no ke kanaka hewa imua o ke Akua, O ka hooilina a ka poe hookaumaha e loaa'i, mai ka Mea mana mai.
14If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword. His offspring will not be satisfied with bread.
14Ina e hoonuiia kana poe keiki, no ka pahikaua no; A o kana poe mamo, aole e maona i ka berena.
15Those who remain of him will be buried in death. His widows will make no lamentation.
15O kona poe e koe ana, e kanuia i ka make: Aole hoi e kanikau kana mau wahinekanemake.
16Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay;
16Ina e hoiliili oia i ke kala e like me ka lepo, A e hoomakaukau i ka lolekomo e like me ka palolo;
17he may prepare it, but the just will put it on, and the innocent will divide the silver.
17E hoomakaukau no, aka, na ka mea pono e hookomo, A o ke kala, na ka mea hala ole e puunaue.
18He builds his house as the moth, as a booth which the watchman makes.
18Kukulu no ia i kona hale me he mu la, A e like me ke kamala a ke kiai i hana'i.
19He lies down rich, but he will not do so again. He opens his eyes, and he is not.
19Moe iho ilalo ka mea waiwai, aole e kanuia; Wehe ae ia i kona maka, aole iho la ia.
20Terrors overtake him like waters. A storm steals him away in the night.
20Kau mai la na weliweli ia ia, e like me na wai, I ka po, lawe aku ka puahiohio ia ia.
21The east wind carries him away, and he departs. It sweeps him out of his place.
21Na ka makani hikina ia e lawe aku, a hele aku ia, A o ka ino e lawe ia ia mai kona wahi aku.
22For it hurls at him, and does not spare, as he flees away from his hand.
22E hoolei aku [ke Akua] ia ia, aole ia e minamina: I ka holo ana, e holo no ia mai kona lima aku.
23Men will clap their hands at him, and will hiss him out of his place.
23E pai lakou i ko lakou lima ia ia, A e kipaku ia ia mai kona wahi aku.
