Ioba 5
1 E KAHEA ano, ina paha e pane mai kekahi ia oe; Io wai la o na mea laa e huli ai oe?
Call now, if there is any that will answer thee; and to which of the holy ones wilt thou turn?
2 No ka mea, ke pepehi nei ka inaina i ka mea naaupo, A ke hoomake nei ka huhu i ka mea hawawa.
For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.
3 Ua ike au i ka mea naaupo e ulu ana; A hoino koke aku au i kona noho ana.
I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
4 Ua mamao aku kana poe keiki i ka maluhia, Ua ulupaia lakou ma ka pukapa, Aohe mea nana e hoopakele.
His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.
5 O kana ai i ohiia ua pau i ka mea pololi, A ua lawe aku ia mea mailoko mai o na laau kuku, A kaili na powa i ko lakou waiwai.
Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.
6 No ka mea, aole e puka mai ka popilikia mai ka lepo mai, Aole hoi e kupu mai ka ehaeha mailoko mai o ka honua.
Although affliction cometh not forth from the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
7 Aka, ua hanau ke kanaka no ka ehaeha, E like me na hunaahi i lele ae iluna.
Yet man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
8 Aka e imi au i ke Akua, A i ke Akua e waiho aku i kuu olelo;
I would seek to God, and to God would I commit my cause:
9 Oia ke hana i na mea nui, a hiki ole ke hoomaopopoia; I na mea kupaianaha, a hiki ole ke heluia:
Who doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:
10 Ka mea e haawi ana i ka ua maluna o ka honua, A e hoouna mai ana i na wai maluna o na kula.
Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
11 E hookiekie iluna i ka poe i hoowahawahaia; I kaikaiia'i iluna i kahi malu ka poe e uwe ana.
To set on high those that are low; that those who mourn may be exalted to safety.
12 Ke hookahuli nei oia i na manao o ka poe maalea, A hiki ole i ko lakou lima ke hooko i ko lakou mea i manao ai.
He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
13 Ke hei aku nei oia i ka poe akamai iloko o ko lakou maalea; A ua hoohioloia ka manao o ka poe paakiki.
He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong.
14 I ke ao halawai lakou me ka pouli, A ke hana nei lakou i ka wa awakea, e like me ia i ka po.
They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope at noon as in the night.
15 Aka, ke hoopakele no ia i ka poe ilihune mai ka pahikaua mai, mai ko lakou waha mai, A mai ka lima mai o ka mea ikaika.
But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
16 Nolaila, ua loaa i ka mea hune ka manaolana, A ua hoopaa ka hewa i kona waha.
So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
17 Aia hoi, pomaikai ke kanaka a ke Akua i hoeha mai; Nolaila, mai hoowahawaha oe i ka hahau ana mai o ka Mea mana:
Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
18 No ka mea, ke hoeha mai nei ia, a e lapaau mai hoi: Ke hahau mai nei oia, a e hoola mai hoi kona mau lima.
For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
19 Iloko o na pilikia eono e hoopakele mai oia ia oe: A iloko o ka hiku hoi, aole e hoopa mai ka ino ia oe.
He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
20 Iloko o ka wi e hoopakele mai oia ia oe i ka make; A iloko o ke kaua, mai ka lima o ka pahikaua mai.
In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
21 E hunaia oe mai ke alelo hoino mai: Aole hoi oe e makau i ka luku, ke hiki mai.
Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
22 I ka luku a i ka pololi e akaaka no oe: Aole hoi oe e makau i na holoholona hihiu o ka honua.
At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
23 No ka mea, e noho kuikahi oe me na pohaku o ke kula; A e maluhia na holoholona hihiu o ke kula me oe.
For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
24 A e ike no oe, he maluhia kou halelewa: A e nana no oe i kou hale, aohe mea nalo.
And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
25 A e ike no oe, he nui kou hua, A o kau poe keiki, e like me ka weuweu o ka honua.
Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thy offspring as the grass of the earth.
26 E hele auanei oe i ka luakupapau me ka ikaika nui, E like me na puu hua palaoa i kona manawa.
Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, as a shock of grain cometh in in its season.
27 Aia hoi o keia ka makou i manao ai, pela io no; E hoolohe oe, a e ike oe ia mea pono nou.
Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.
