Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
1A LAILA pane mai la o Elipaza no Temana, i mai la,
2“If someone ventures to talk with you, will you be grieved? But who can withhold himself from speaking?
2A i hoao makou e kamailio pu me oe, e uluhua anei oe? Aka, owai la ka mea hiki ke uumi i ka olelo?
3Behold, you have instructed many, you have strengthened the weak hands.
3Aia hoi; ua ao aku oe i na mea he nui, A ua hooikaika oe i na lima nawaliwali.
4Your words have supported him who was falling, you have made the feeble knees firm.
4Ua kukulu iluna kau olelo i ka mea e hina ana, A ua hookupaa oe i na kuli e hemo ana.
5But now it has come to you, and you faint. It touches you, and you are troubled.
5Ano hoi, ua hiki mai ia maluna ou, a ua maule oe, Ua hoopa mai ia ia oe, a ua popilikia oe.
6Isn’t your piety your confidence? Isn’t the integrity of your ways your hope?
6Aole anei keia kou makau, a me kou manaolana, O kou mea i kuko ai, a me ka pololei o kou mau aoao?
7“Remember, now, who ever perished, being innocent? Or where were the upright cut off?
7Ke noi aku nei au, e hoomanao oe, owai ka mea hala ole i make wale? Auhea hoi ka poe pono i hookiia'ku?
8According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow trouble, reap the same.
8E like me ka'u i ike ai, O na mea i waele ino, a mahi hewa, ohi no lakou ia mea hookahi.
9By the breath of God they perish. By the blast of his anger are they consumed.
9Ma ka ha ana o ke Akua ua make lakou, A ma ka hanu o kona mau puka ihu ua hoopauia lakou.
10The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
10O ka uwo ana o ka liona, o ka leo o ka liona hae, A o na niho o na liona hou, ua haki.
11The old lion perishes for lack of prey. The cubs of the lioness are scattered abroad.
11O ka liona, ua make ia no ka nele o ka mea pio, A o na keiki o ka liona wahine, ua hele liilii lakou.
12“Now a thing was secretly brought to me. My ear received a whisper of it.
12Ua lawe malu ia mai kekahi olelo ia'u, A ua loaa i kuu pepeiao ka lohe iki o ia mea.
13In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,
13Iloko o na manao ma na moeuhane i ka po, I ka manawa i pauhia ai na kanaka i ka hiamoe,
14fear came on me, and trembling, which made all my bones shake.
14Hiki mai ka makau ia'u a me ka haalulu, A hoohaalulu mai ia i ka nui o ko'u mau iwi.
15Then a spirit passed before my face. The hair of my flesh stood up.
15Alaila maale ae la he uhane imua o ko'u maka; Ku iho la iluna ka hulu o ko'u io:
16It stood still, but I couldn’t discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes. Silence, then I heard a voice, saying,
16Ku malie iho la ia, aole au i ike i kona ano; He kii imua o kou mau maka, He makani uuku, a he leo ka'u i lohe:
17‘Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his Maker?
17E oi anei ka pono o ke kanaka mamua o ko ke Akua? He oi anei ka maemae o ke kanaka mamua o ka Mea nana ia i hana?
18Behold, he puts no trust in his servants. He charges his angels with error.
18Aia hoi, aole ia i hilinai i kana poe kauwa, A hooili no ia i ka hewa maluna o kona poe anela:
19How much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth!
19Heaha la hoi ka poe e noho ana i na hale lepo, Ha ka lepo ko lakou hookumu ana, ua ulupaia lakou imua o ka mu?
20Between morning and evening they are destroyed. They perish forever without any regarding it.
20Ua lukuia lakou mai kakahiaka a ke ahiahi: Ua make loa lakou, aohe mea nana i manao.
21Isn’t their tent cord plucked up within them? They die, and that without wisdom.’
21Aole anei e nalo wale aku ko lakou maikai ana? Make no lakou me ka naauao ole.
