Job 7
1 Has not man his ordered time of trouble on the earth? and are not his days like the days of a servant working for payment?
A OLE anei he kaua no ke kanaka ma ka honua? A like kona mau la me na la o ka mea hoolimalima?
2 As a servant desiring the shades of evening, and a workman looking for his payment:
E like me ke kauwa i makemake nui i ka malu, A me ka hoolimalima i nana i ka uku o kana hana;
3 So I have for my heritage months of pain to no purpose, and nights of weariness are given to me.
Pela no e lilo mai ai ia'u na malama luuluu, A e loaa ia'u na po kaumaha.
4 When I go to my bed, I say, When will it be time to get up? but the night is long, and I am turning from side to side till morning light.
A 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.
5 My flesh is covered with worms and dust; my skin gets hard and then is cracked again.
Ua paapu ko'u kino i ka ilo a me ka papaa lepo; Ke ola mai nei kuu ili, alaila puha hou ae la.
6 My days go quicker than the cloth-worker's thread, and come to an end without hope.
Ua oi ka mama o kuu mau la mamua o ka laau ulana lole, A holo aku me ke manaolana ole.
7 O, keep in mind that my life is wind: my eye will never again see good.
E hoomanao oe, he makani kuu ola: Aole e ike hou ko'u maka i ka maikai.
8 The eye of him who sees me will see me no longer: your eyes will be looking for me, but I will be gone.
O 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.
9 A cloud comes to an end and is gone; so he who goes down into the underworld comes not up again. (Sheol h7585)
E 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. (Sheol h7585)
10 He will not come back to his house, and his place will have no more knowledge of him.
Aole ia e hoi hou i kona hale, Aole hoi e ike hou kona wahi ia ia.
11 So I will not keep my mouth shut; I will let the words come from it in the pain of my spirit, my soul will make a bitter outcry.
Nolaila 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.
12 Am I a sea, or a sea-beast, that you put a watch over me?
He kai anei au, a he ia nui, I hoonoho mai ai oe i ke kiai maluna o'u?
13 When I say, In my bed I will have comfort, there I will get rest from my disease;
A i iho au, E hooluolu kuu wahi moe ia'u, E lawe aku kuu moe i ko'u ulono ana:
14 Then you send dreams to me, and visions of fear;
Alaila hoomakau mai oe ia'u ma na moeuhane, A hooweliweli mai oe ia'u i na mea hihio.
15 So that a hard death seems better to my soul than my pains.
Nolaila ke koho nei kuu naau i ke kaawe, A me ka make mamua o kuu ola ana.
16 I have no desire for life, I would not be living for ever! Keep away from me, for my days are as a breath.
Ke 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.
17 What is man, that you have made him great, and that your attention is fixed on him,
Heaha la ke kanaka, i hoonui mai ai oe ia ia? A i kau mai ai oe i kou manao ia ia?
18 And that your hand is on him every morning, and that you are testing him every minute?
A i ike mai ai oe ia ia i kela kakahiaka keia kakahiaka, A i hoao mau mai ai oe ia ia?
19 How long will it be before your eyes are turned away from me, so that I may have a minute's breathing-space?
Pehea 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?
20 If I have done wrong, what have I done to you, O keeper of men? why have you made me a mark for your blows, so that I am a weariness to myself?
Ua 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?
21 And why do you not take away my sin, and let my wrongdoing be ended? for now I go down to the dust, and you will be searching for me with care, but I will be gone.
No 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.
