Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1“Isn’t a man forced to labor on earth? Aren’t his days like the days of a hired hand?
1A OLE anei he kaua no ke kanaka ma ka honua? A like kona mau la me na la o ka mea hoolimalima?
2As a servant who earnestly desires the shadow, as a hireling who looks for his wages,
2E like me ke kauwa i makemake nui i ka malu, A me ka hoolimalima i nana i ka uku o kana hana;
3so I am made to possess months of misery, wearisome nights are appointed to me.
3Pela no e lilo mai ai ia'u na malama luuluu, A e loaa ia'u na po kaumaha.
4When I lie down, I say, ‘When will I arise, and the night be gone?’ I toss and turn until the dawning of the day.
4A i ka wa i moe ai au ilalo, i iho no au, Ahea la au e ala'e iluna? Ahea la e hala'e ka po? Ua piha au i ka hiaa ana a hiki i ka wanaao.
5My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust. My skin closes up, and breaks out afresh.
5Ua paapu ko'u kino i ka ilo a me ka papaa lepo; Ke ola mai nei kuu ili, alaila puha hou ae la.
6My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope.
6Ua oi ka mama o kuu mau la mamua o ka laau ulana lole, A holo aku me ke manaolana ole.
7Oh remember that my life is a breath. My eye will no more see good.
7E hoomanao oe, he makani kuu ola: Aole e ike hou ko'u maka i ka maikai.
8The eye of him who sees me will see me no more. Your eyes will be on me, but I will not be.
8O ka maka o ka mea i ike ia'u, aole ia e ike hou ia'u: Maluna o'u kou mau maka, a e ole auanei au.
9As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away, so he who goes down to Sheol will come up no more.
9E like me ke ao e nalowale ana a e hele aku ana; Pela ka mea e iho ana i ka luakupapau, aole ia e ea hou ae iluna.
10He will return no more to his house, neither will his place know him any more.
10Aole ia e hoi hou i kona hale, Aole hoi e ike hou kona wahi ia ia.
11“Therefore I will not keep silent. I will speak in the anguish of my spirit. I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
11Nolaila aole au e hoopaa i kuu waha; E olelo aku au ma ka pilikia o kuu uhane; E ulono ana au no ka awaawa o kuu naau.
12Am I a sea, or a sea monster, that you put a guard over me?
12He kai anei au, a he ia nui, I hoonoho mai ai oe i ke kiai maluna o'u?
13When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me. My couch will ease my complaint,’
13A i iho au, E hooluolu kuu wahi moe ia'u, E lawe aku kuu moe i ko'u ulono ana:
14then you scare me with dreams and terrify me through visions,
14Alaila hoomakau mai oe ia'u ma na moeuhane, A hooweliweli mai oe ia'u i na mea hihio.
15so that my soul chooses strangling, death rather than my bones.
15Nolaila ke koho nei kuu naau i ke kaawe, A me ka make mamua o kuu ola ana.
16I loathe my life. I don’t want to live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
16Ke hoopailua nei au ia mea; aole au makemake e ola loa; E waiho mai ia'u; no ka mea, he hanu wale no kuu mau la.
17What is man, that you should magnify him, that you should set your mind on him,
17Heaha la ke kanaka, i hoonui mai ai oe ia ia? A i kau mai ai oe i kou manao ia ia?
18that you should visit him every morning, and test him every moment?
18A i ike mai ai oe ia ia i kela kakahiaka keia kakahiaka, A i hoao mau mai ai oe ia ia?
19How long will you not look away from me, nor leave me alone until I swallow down my spittle?
19Pehea ka loihi o kou nana ole ana mai io'u aku nei, A kuu ole mai ia'u, a moni iho au i kuu kuha?
20If I have sinned, what do I do to you, you watcher of men? Why have you set me as a mark for you, so that I am a burden to myself?
20Ua hana hewa au; heaha ka'u e hana aku ai ia oe, E ka Meakiai i na kanaka? No keaha la oe e hooku ae ia'u, i mea e hopu ai nou, I lilo ai hoi au i mea kaumaha no'u iho?
21Why do you not pardon my disobedience, and take away my iniquity? For now will I lie down in the dust. You will seek me diligently, but I will not be.”
21No keaha la oe i kala ole mai ai i kuu hala, A i lawe aku hoi i ko'u hewa? No ka mea, ano e moe auanei au i ka lepo; A e imi mai oe ia'u, aole hoi wau.
