Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1“But now those who are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I considered unworthy to put with my sheep dogs.
1A NO hoi, ua henehene mai ia'u ka poe opiopio ia'u, Ka poe nona na makuakane a'u i hoowahawaha ai, Aole e hoonoho pu me na ilio o ka'u poe hipi.
2Of what use is the strength of their hands to me, men in whom ripe age has perished?
2Oia hoi, o ka ikaika o ko lakou lima heaha ia ia'u, Ka mea i pau ka ikaika?
3They are gaunt from lack and famine. They gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of waste and desolation.
3No ka ilihune a no ka pololi ua wiwi lakou; Holo lakou i ka waonahele, I ka po he mehameha a neoneo.
4They pluck salt herbs by the bushes. The roots of the broom tree are their food.
4Uhuki lakou i ka maluha ma ka nahelehele, A me ke aa o ka laau iunipera i ai na lakou.
5They are driven out from among men. They cry after them as after a thief,
5Maiwaena mai o kanaka ua hookukeia'ku lakou; Kahea nui aku mahope o lakou e like me lakou i ka aihue;
6so that they live in frightful valleys, and in holes of the earth and of the rocks.
6Maloko o na awawa weliweli e noho ai lakou, Maloko o na lua o ka honua a me na pohaku.
7They bray among the bushes. They are gathered together under the nettles.
7Mawaena o ka nahelehele, me he hoki la lakou i uwe ai, Malalo o ka laau kuku lakou i hoakoakoa ai.
8They are children of fools, yes, children of wicked men. They were flogged out of the land.
8He poe keiki a kanaka lapuwale, He poe keiki a kanaka inoa ole; Ua hookukeia lakou mai ka aina aku.
9“Now I have become their song. Yes, I am a byword to them.
9Ano hoi, ua lilo au i mea e mele ai lakou; A ua lilo hoi au no lakou i mea e olelo nane ai.
10They abhor me, they stand aloof from me, and don’t hesitate to spit in my face.
10Ua hoopailua lakou ia'u, a holo mamao lakou mai o'u aku la, Aole lakou i uumi i ke kuha mai i kuu maka.
11For he has untied his cord, and afflicted me; and they have thrown off restraint before me.
11No ka mea, ua kuu aku ia i kona kaulawaha, a ua hookaumaha mai ia'u; Ua kuu aku hoi lakou i ke kaulawaha imua o'u.
12On my right hand rise the rabble. They thrust aside my feet. They cast their ways of destruction up against me.
12Ma ka akau ku mai ka poe opio, a hoonee aku i kuu wawae, Hoouka ae lakou i na alanui no kuu make.
13They mar my path. They promote my destruction without anyone’s help.
13Ua hana ino lakou i kuu ala, Ua kokua lakou i kuu hina ana; Aohe o lakou kokua.
14As through a wide breach they come. They roll themselves in amid the ruin.
14Hele mai lakou me he poha nui mai la: Ma kahi nahae, hookaa mai la lakou maluna o'u.
15Terrors have turned on me. They chase my honor as the wind. My welfare has passed away as a cloud.
15Ua hiki mai na mea hooweliweli maluna o'u: Hoomaau lakou i kuu lokomaikai e like me ka makani; A me he ao la, ke hele aku nei kuu pomaikai.
16“Now my soul is poured out within me. Days of affliction have taken hold of me.
16Ano hoi ua nininiia kuu uhane iloko o'u, Ua lalau mai na la kaumaha ia'u.
17In the night season my bones are pierced in me, and the pains that gnaw me take no rest.
17I ka po ua oia kuu mau iwi iloko o'u; Aole i maha kuu mau eha aai.
18My garment is disfigured by great force. It binds me about as the collar of my tunic.
18No ka ikaika loa o kuu mai, ua ano e kuu aahu; Ua puliki mai ia'u e like me ka a-i o kuu kapakomo.
19He has cast me into the mire. I have become like dust and ashes.
19Ua hoolei mai oia ia'u iloko o ka nenelu, A ua like au me ka lepo a me ka lehu.
20I cry to you, and you do not answer me. I stand up, and you gaze at me.
20Ua uwe aku au ia oe, aole oe i hoolohe mai ia'u; A ku au iluna, aole oe i manao mai ia'u.
21You have turned to be cruel to me. With the might of your hand you persecute me.
21Ua lilo oe i enemi no'u, Me ka ikaika o kou lima i hahai mai oe ia'u.
22You lift me up to the wind, and drive me with it. You dissolve me in the storm.
22Ua kaikai oe ia'u, A hooholo no oe ia'u maluna o ka makani; Ua hooheehee mai hoi ia'u a hoomakau mai.
23For I know that you will bring me to death, to the house appointed for all living.
23No ka mea, ua ike no au e hoihoi aku oe ia'u i ka make, A i ka hale e akoakoa ai ka poe a pau e ola ana.
24“However doesn’t one stretch out a hand in his fall? Or in his calamity therefore cry for help?
24Aka, he mea ole ka pule, ke kikoo mai ia i kona lima, Ina e uwe lakou iloko o kona luku ana.
25Didn’t I weep for him who was in trouble? Wasn’t my soul grieved for the needy?
25Aole anei au i uwe i kona la pilikia? Aole anei i kaumaha ko'u naau no ka poe ilihune?
26When I looked for good, then evil came. When I waited for light, darkness came.
26I ka wa i kakali ai au i ka maikai, alaila hiki mai ka hewa; A ukali au i ka malamalama, alaila hiki mai ka pouli.
27My heart is troubled, and doesn’t rest. Days of affliction have come on me.
27Ua kupikio kuu opu, aohe malie iho; Ua hiki e mai ia'u na la popilikia.
28I go mourning without the sun. I stand up in the assembly, and cry for help.
28Ke hele eleele nei au, aole nae i ka la: Ku no au iluna maloko o ka ahakanaka, a uwe aku au.
29I am a brother to jackals, and a companion to ostriches.
29Ua lilo au i hoahanau no na iliohae, A i hoalauna no na iana.
30My skin grows black and peels from me. My bones are burned with heat.
30Ua eleele kuu ili maluna o'u, A ua hoaia kuu mau iwi i ka wela.
31Therefore my harp has turned to mourning, and my pipe into the voice of those who weep.
31A ua lilo kuu lira no ke kanikau, A o kuu mea hookiokio no ka leo o ka poe e uwe ana.
