< Ioba 1 >

1 HE kanaka ma ka aina o Uza, o Ioba kona inoa, ua pono, ua pololei hoi ua kanaka la, a ua makau no ia i ke Akua, a hoopale i ka hewa.
There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and Job was blameless and upright, one who feared God and turned from evil.
2 Ua hanauia nana ehiku mau keikikane, a me na kaikamahine ekolu.
There were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
3 O kana waiwai, ehiku tausani hipa me na kao, ekolu tausani kamelo, elima haneri bipikaulua a elima haneri hoki wahine, a he nui loa kona poe ohua; nolaila, ua oi aku ke koikoi o keia kanaka mamua o na kanaka a pau o ka hikina.
He possessed seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred pairs of oxen, and five hundred donkeys and a great many servants. He was the man who was the greatest of all the people of the East.
4 A hele aku la kana mau keikikane, a ahaaina iho la ma ka hale, o kela mea keia mea o lakou i kona la; a hoouna aku la, a hea aku i ko lakou mau kaikuwahine ekolu, e ai pu a e inu pu me lakou.
On each son's assigned day, he would give a feast in his house. They would send and call for their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
5 A i ka manawa i hala ae ai na la o ka ahaaina ana, hoouna aku la o Ioba a hoomaemae ia lakou, a ala ae la i kakahiaka nui, a kaumaha aku la i na mohaikuni e like me ka nui o lakou a pau; no ka mea, i iho la o Ioba, Malia paha ua hana hewa ka'u mau keikikane, a ua olelo hoino i ke Akua ma ko lakou naau. Pela o Ioba i hana'i i na la a Pau.
When the days of the feast were over, Job would send for them and he would consecrate them. He would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings for each of his children, for he would say, “It may be that my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” Job always did this.
6 A i kekahi la, i ka manawa i hele ai na keiki a ke Akua e hoike aku ia lakou iho imua o Iehova, i hele mai hoi o Satana iwaena o lakou.
Then it was the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Yahweh. Satan also came with them.
7 A i mai la o Iehova ia Satana, Nohea oe i hele mai nei? olelo aku la o Satana ia Iehova, Mai ka auwana ana ma ka honua, a mai ka hele ana io ia nei malaila.
Yahweh said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Then Satan answered Yahweh and said, “From wandering on the earth, from going back and forth on it.”
8 I mai la o Iehova ia Satana, Ua noonoo pono anei oe i ka'u kauwa ia Ioba, aohe mea like me ia ma ka honua, he kanaka pono me ka pololei, ua makau i ke Akua, a ua hookaaokoa i ka hewa.
Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and turns from evil.”
9 Alaila olelo aku la o Satana ia Iehova, i aku la, Ke makau kumu ole la anei o Ioba i ke Akua?
Then Satan answered Yahweh and said, “Does Job fear God without reason?
10 Aole anei oe i hoopuni ia ia, a me kona hale a me kona mea a pau i ka pa ma na aoao a pau? Ua hoopomaikai oe i ka hana a kona mau lima, a mahuahua kona waiwai ma ka aina.
Have you not put a barrier around him, around his house, and around all that is his from every side? You have blessed the deeds of his hands, and his cattle have burst forth in the land.
11 Aka, e kikoo aku ano i kou lima, a hoopa i kana mau mea a pau, a e hoino no kela ia oe imua o kou maka.
But now stretch out your hand and touch all that he has, and see if he does not curse you to your face.”
12 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Satana, Aia hoi, iloko o kou lima kana mau mea a pau; aka, maluna ona mai kau aku oe i kou lima. A hele aku la o Satana mai ke alo aku o Iehova.
Yahweh said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your hand. Only against him himself do not stretch out your hand.” Then Satan went away from the presence of Yahweh.
13 A i kekahi la, i ka manawa o kana mau keikikane a me kana mau kaikamahine e ahaaina ana, a e inu waina ana iloko o ka hale o ko lakou hanau mua;
It came about that on a certain day, his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house.
14 Hele mai kekahi elele io Ioba la, i mai la, O na bipikauo e hoopalau ana, a o na hoki wahine e ai ana ma ko lakou aoao;
A messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were feeding beside them.
15 A popoi mai la ka poe Seba maluna o lakou, a lawe pio aku la i ia lakou; a pepehi iho la lakou i na kanaka opiopio me ka maka o ka pahikaua; a owau wale no ka i pakele e hai aku ia oe.
Then the Sabeans fell on them and took them away. As for the servants, they have struck them with the edge of the sword. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
16 A i kana kamailio ana, hele mai kekahi, i mai la, Ua lele mai ke ahi a ke Akua mai ka lani mai, a ua ai iho i na hipa a me na kahu, a ua hoopau ia lakou; a owau wale no ka i pakele e hai aku ia oe.
While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The fire of God fell from the heavens and burned up the sheep and the servants. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
17 A i kana kamailio ana, hele mai kekahi e ae, i mai la, Hoonohonoho iho la ka poe Kaledea i ekolu poe kaua, a lele mai lakou maluna o na kamelo, a lawe pio aku ia lakou, a pepehi iho la i na kauwa opiopio me ka maka o ka pahikaua; a owau wale no ka i pakele e hai aku ia oe.
While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three groups, attacked the camels, and have taken them away. As for the servants, they have struck them with the edge of the sword. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
18 I kana kamailio ana, hele mai kekahi e ae, i mai la, O kau mau keikikane, a me kau mau kaikamahine, e ai ana a e inu waina ana iloko o ka hale o ko lakou hanau mua:
While he was yet speaking, another also came and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house.
19 Aia hoi, hiki mai la ka makani ikaika mai ka aoao o ka waonahele mai, a nou mai ma na kihi eha o ka hale, a hina iho la ia maluna o na kanaka opiopio, a ua make lakou; a owau wale no ka i pakele e hai aku ia oe.
A strong wind came from the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house. It fell on the young people, and they died. I alone have escaped to tell you.”
20 Alaila ku ae la o Ioba, a baehae iho la i kona aahu, a ako i kona poo, a hina ilalo i ka honua, a hoomana aku la,
Then Job rose, tore his robe, shaved his head, lay facedown on the ground, and worshiped God.
21 I iho la, I hele kohana mai no au mai ka opu mai o ko'u makuwahine, a e hoi kohana aku au ilaila: na Iehova i haawi mai, na Iehova hoi i lawe aku; e hoomaikaiia ka inoa o Iehova.
He said, “I was naked when I came out of my mother's womb, and I will be naked when I will return there. It is Yahweh who gave, and it is Yahweh who has taken away. May the name of Yahweh be blessed.”
22 Ma keia mea a pau, aole o Ioba i hana hewa, aole hoi ia i hooili wale aku i ka hewa i ke Akua.
In all this matter, Job did not sin, nor did he accuse God of wrongdoing.
