Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
1A LAILA olelo mai la o Biledada, no Suha, i mai la,
2“How long will you speak these things? Shall the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?
2Pehea la ka loihi o kau olelo ana i keia mau mea? A he makani ikaika na huaolelo o kou waha?
3Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?
3E hookahuli anei ke Akua i ka pololei? A e hookekee anei ka Mea mana i ka pono?
4If your children have sinned against him, he has delivered them into the hand of their disobedience.
4Ina paha ua hana hewa kau poe keiki ia ia, Alaila kiola aku la ia ia lakou, no ko lakou lawehala ana;
5If you want to seek God diligently, make your supplication to the Almighty.
5Ina e imi oe i ke Akua, A e nonoi aku oe i ka Mea mana;
6If you were pure and upright, surely now he would awaken for you, and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous.
6Ina ua maemae oe a pono hoi; He oiaio no, ina ua ala mai no ia ano nou, A ua hoomalu mai ia i ka hale o kou pono ana.
7Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would greatly increase.
7Ina ua uuku kou hoomaka ana i kinohou, O kou hopena, e mahuahua loa ana no ia.
8“Please inquire of past generations. Find out about the learning of their fathers.
8No ka mea, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ninau aku oe i ka hanauna mamua, A e hoomakaukau oe e noonoo i ko lakou poe makua:
9(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days on earth are a shadow.)
9(No ka mea, inehinei wale no kakou, aohe ike, A o ko kakou mau la ma ka honua, he aka no ia:)
10Shall they not teach you, tell you, and utter words out of their heart?
10Aole anei lakou e ao mai ia oe, a e hai mai ia oe, A e hoike mai i na olelo mailoko mai o ko lakou naau?
11“Can the papyrus grow up without mire? Can the rushes grow without water?
11E ulu anei ke papuro ke ole ka lepo poho? E ulu anei ka akaakai ke ole ka wai?
12While it is yet in its greenness, not cut down, it withers before any other reed.
12I kona manawa uliuli, aole i okiia, Ua mae no ia mamua o na mauu e ae a pau.
13So are the paths of all who forget God. The hope of the godless man will perish,
13Pela no ka hope o ka poe a pau e hoopoina ana i ke Akua; A pela no ka manaolana o ka aia e make ai.
14whose confidence will break apart, whose trust is a spider’s web.
14O kona manaolana e okiia'ku ia, A o kona mea hilinai, he punawelewele no ia.
15He will lean on his house, but it will not stand. He will cling to it, but it will not endure.
15E hilinai iho oia maluna o kona hale, aka, aole ia e paa: E hoopaa aku oia ia mea, aole nae ia e kupono.
16He is green before the sun. His shoots go out along his garden.
16Ua uliuli oia imua o ka la, A kupu ae kona mau lala ma kona kihapai.
17His roots are wrapped around the rock pile. He sees the place of stones.
17Ua awiliia kona mau aa ma ka waikahe, A ike iho la ia i kahi o na pohaku.
18If he is destroyed from his place, then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have not seen you.’
18Aka, e hoopauia aku ia mea mai kona wahi aku, Alaila e hoole mai oia ia ia, aole au i ike ia oe.
19Behold, this is the joy of his way. Out of the earth, others will spring.
19Aia hoi, oia ka olioli o kona aoao, A mailoko mai o ka lepo e kupu ae na mea e.
20“Behold, God will not cast away a blameless man, neither will he uphold the evildoers.
20Aia hoi, aole ke Akua e hoowahawaha i ka mea pono, Aole hoi ia e kokua aku i ka poe hana hewa:
21He will still fill your mouth with laughter, your lips with shouting.
21A hoopiha mai ia i kou waha i ka akaaka, A i kou lehelehe i ka hooho olioli.
22Those who hate you will be clothed with shame. The tent of the wicked will be no more.”
22O ka poe inaina ia oe e hoaahuia lakou i ka hilahila: A e lilo ka hale o ka poe hewa i mea ole.
