Job 24
1 Why are times not laid up by the Almighty? And why do not they that know him see his days?
NO ka mea, aole i hoonaloia na manawa mai ka Mea mana aku, No ke aha la aole ka poe ike ia ia e noonoo i kona mau la?
2 There are that remove the landmarks; They violently take away flocks, and feed them.
Hoonee aku lakou i na palena aina, A lawe wale aku lakou i ka poe hipa, a hanai aku ia lakou.
3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless; They take the widow’s ox for a pledge.
Alakai aku lakou i ka hokikane o ka poe makua ole; A lawe lakou i ka bipi a ka wahinekanemake i uku panai.
4 They turn the needy out of the way: The poor of the earth all hide themselves.
Ua kipaku lakou i ka poe nele mai ke ala aku; Pee pu aku la na ilihune o ka honua.
5 Behold, as wild asses in the desert They go forth to their work, seeking diligently for food; The wilderness [yieldeth] them bread for their children.
Aia hoi, me na hoki hihiu ma ka waonahele, hele aku lakou i ka lakou hana; E imi ana i ka mea pio; O ka waonahele oia ka ai na lakou, a na ka lakou poe keiki.
6 They cut their provender in the field; And they glean the vintage of the wicked.
Ma ka mahinaai, oki kela mea keia mea i kana ai; A hoiliili lakou ma ka pawaina o ka mea hewa,
7 They lie all night naked without clothing, And have no covering in the cold.
Waiho lakou i ka poe olohelohe i moe lakou me ka kapa ole, Aohe mea uhi iloko o ke anu.
8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, And embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
Ua pulu lakou i ka ua nui o oa mauna, A no ka hale ole, ua pili lakou i ka pohaku.
9 There are that pluck the fatherless from the breast, And take a pledge of the poor;
Kaili lakou i ka mea makua ole mai ka u aku, A lawe lakou i ka aahu o ka ilihune i uku panei
10 [So that] they go about naked without clothing, And being hungry they carry the sheaves.
Hoohele lakou i ka mea olohelohe me ke kapa ole, A lawe aku lakou i ka poa palaoa mai ka pololi;
11 They make oil within the walls of these men; They tread [their] winepresses, and suffer thirst.
Kaomi lakou i ka aila mawaena o ko lakou meu papohaku, Hahi lakou i na wahi kaomi waina, a makewai lakou.
12 From out of the populous city men groan, And the soul of the wounded crieth out: Yet God regardeth not the folly.
Kunukunu na kanaka mai ke kulanakauhale aku, A o ka naau i houia ke kahea aku; Aole ke Akua i manao mai i ka mea lapuwale,
13 These are of them that rebel against the light; They know not the ways thereof, Nor abide in the paths thereof.
O lakou ka poe e kipi ana i ka malamalama, Aole lakou i ike i kona mau kuamoo, Aole lakou i nobo ma kona mau alanui.
14 The murderer riseth with the light; He killeth the poor and needy; And in the night he is as a thief.
I ka malamalama ala mai ka pepehi kanaka, A pepehi aku i ka poe ilihune a me ka poe nele, A i ka po ua like ia me ka aihue.
15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, Saying, No eye shall see me: And he disguiseth his face.
Ke kali ae la ka make o ka mea moe kolohe i ke ahiahi poeleele, I iho la, Aole e ike mai ka make ia'u; A kau i ka pale ma ka make.
16 In the dark they dig through houses: They shut themselves up in the day-time; They know not the light.
I ka pouli wawahi lakou i na hale, I ke ao hoopaa lakou ia lakou iho iloko: Aole lakou i ike i ka malamalama.
17 For the morning is to all of them as thick darkness; For they know the terrors of the thick darkness.
No ka mea, o kakahiaka, ua like pu ia no lakou me ka malu make; Ina ikeia, ua kau mai na mea weliweli o ka malu make.
18 Swiftly they [pass away] upon the face of the waters; Their portion is cursed in the earth: They turn not into the way of the vineyards.
Ua like lakou me ka mea mama maluna o ka wai; Ua hoinoia ko lakou kuleana ma ka honua; Aole lakou e huli ae ma ke ala o na pawaina,
19 Drought and heat consume the snow waters: [So doth] Sheol [those that] have sinned. (Sheol h7585)
Na ka maloo a me ka wela e hoopau aku i na wai o ka hau; Pela no ka po i ka poe hana hewa. (Sheol h7585)
20 The womb shall forget him; The worm shall feed sweetly on him; He shall be no more remembered; And unrighteousness shall be broken as a tree.
E hoopoina ka opu ia ia; E ai wale ka ilo ia ia; Aole loa e hoomanaoia oia; A e haki ka mea hewa me he laau la.
21 He devoureth the barren that beareth not, And doeth not good to the widow.
Hookaumaha oia i ka mea pa hanau ole, Aole ia i hana maikai aku i ka wahinekanemake,
22 Yet [God] preserveth the mighty by his power: He riseth up that hath no assurance of life.
Lawe aku no ia i ka poe alii ma kona ikaika; A ka mai oia, aohe malu ke ola o kekahi.
23 [God] giveth them to be in security, and they rest thereon; And his eyes are upon their ways.
Ina e haawiia none e maluhia, a e hilinai; Aka, o kona mau make aia maluna o ko lakou mau aoao.
24 They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone; Yea, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all others, And are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.
Ua hookiekieia lakou i ka wa pokole, Aka, oa ole lakou, a ua hoonalowaleia lakou; E like me na mea a pau, ua hoiia lakou, Ua okiia lakou e like me na piko huhui palaoa.
25 And if it be not so now, who will prove me a liar, And make my speech nothing worth?
Ina i ole pela ano, Owai la ka mea e hoike mai, he hoopunipuni ka'u, A e hoolilo i ka'u olelo i mea ole?
