Ioba 6
1 OLELO mai la o Ioba, i mai la,
Bvt Iob answered, and said,
2 Ina paha e kaupaona pono ia kuu luuluu, A e kauia ma ka mea kaupaona kuu ehaeha!
Oh that my griefe were well weighed, and my miseries were layed together in the balance.
3 No ka mea, ano, ua oi kona kaumaha mamua o ke one o ke kai: Nolaila, ua ilihia ka'u mau huaolelo.
For it woulde be nowe heauier then the sande of the sea: therefore my wordes are swallowed vp.
4 No ka mea, o na pua pana o ka Mea mana, eia iloko o'u, A ke inu nei ka wela o ia mau mea i kuu uhane; O na mea weliweli o ke Akua, ke ku e mai nei ia'u.
For the arrowes of the Almightie are in me, the venime whereof doeth drinke vp my spirit, and the terrours of God fight against me.
5 E uwe anei ka hoki hihiu imua o ka weuweu? A ke uwo anei ka bipi maluna o kana mea ai?
Doeth the wilde asse bray when he hath grasse? or loweth the oxe when he hath fodder?
6 E hiki anei ke aiia ka mea mananalo, ke ole ka paakai. He mea ono anei ke ewe o ka hua moa?
That which is vnsauerie, shall it be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egge?
7 Aole au e hiki ke hoopa aku, Ua like ia me ka hoopailua o ko'u ai.
Such things as my soule refused to touch, as were sorowes, are my meate.
8 Ina paha e haawiia mai kuu mea e noi aku ai, Ina paha e haawi mai ke Akua i kuu mea i kuko aku ai!
Oh that I might haue my desire, and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
9 A ina paha e oluolu ke Akua e ulupa mai ia'u, Ina e hookuu mai ia i kona lima, a e oki mai ia'u!
That is, that God would destroy me: that he would let his hand go, and cut me off.
10 Alaila e oluolu hou iho no wau, A e hauoli aku au i ka eha: Mai aua mai ia; no ka mea, aole au i hoole i na olelo a ka Mea Hemolele.
Then should I yet haue comfort, (though I burne with sorowe, let him not spare) because I haue not denyed the wordes of the Holy one.
11 Heaha kuu ikaika, i kakali aku ai au? Heaha hoi kuu hope, i hooloihi aku ai au i kuu ola?
What power haue I that I should endure? or what is mine end, if I should prolong my life?
12 He ikaika anei ko'u e like me ka ikaika o na pohaku? He keleawe anei ko'u io?
Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brasse?
13 Aole anei ka'u kokua iloko o'u? A ua holo aku anei ka mea e pakele ai mai o'u aku la?
Is it not so, that there is in me no helpe? and that strength is taken from me?
14 O ka mea ehaeha e alohaia oia e kona hoalauna; Aka, ua haalele aku ia i ka makau i ka Mea mana.
He that is in miserie, ought to be comforted of his neighbour: but men haue forsaken the feare of the Almightie.
15 Ua hana hoopunipuni mai ko'u mau hoahanau, e like me ke kahawai; Ua nalowale aku lakou, e like me ka wai kahe o na awawa;
My brethre haue deceiued me as a brook, and as the rising of the riuers they passe away.
16 I uliuli i ka waipaa, Malaila i hunaia'i ka hau.
Which are blackish with yee, and wherein the snowe is hid.
17 I ka wa e ololi ai lakou, ua hoopauia lakou; I ke kau wela, ua maloo aku la mai ko lakou wahi aku.
But in time they are dryed vp with heate and are consumed: and when it is hote they faile out of their places,
18 Ua huli ae na huakai ma ko lakou ala ilaila; Hele lakou a nalowale, a pau.
Or they depart from their way and course, yea, they vanish and perish.
19 Nana aku la, na huakai hele o Tema, A o na poe hele o Seba, i kakali aku ia lakou.
They that go to Tema, considered them, and they that goe to Sheba, waited for them.
20 Ua hoka lakou, no ka mea, ua lana wale ka manao: Hele lakou ilaila, a hoohilahilaia lakou.
But they were confounded: when they hoped, they came thither and were ashamed.
21 No ka mea, ua like oukou me ka mea ole; Ua ike oukou i ka popilikia, a makau iho la.
Surely nowe are ye like vnto it: ye haue seene my fearefull plague, and are afraide.
22 Ua olelo anei au, E lawe mai no'u? A e haawi mai i makana no'u mailoko mai o ko oukou waiwai?
Was it because I said, Bring vnto me? or giue a rewarde to me of your substance?
23 A e hoopakele paha oukou ia'u mai ka lima mai o ka enemi? A e hoola ia'u, mai ka lima mai o ka poe ikaika?
And deliuer me from the enemies hande, or ransome me out of the hand of tyrants?
24 E ao mai oukou ia'u, a e noho malie iho au: E hoike mai oukou ia'u i kuu mea i lalau ai.
Teach me, and I wil hold my tongue: and cause me to vnderstande, wherein I haue erred.
25 Nani ka ikaika o na olelo oiaio! Aka, heaha la ka ka oukou olelo hoino e hooiaio ai?
Howe stedfast are the wordes of righteousnes? and what can any of you iustly reproue?
26 Ke manao nei anei oukou e hoohewa i na hua olelo? A o na olelo a ka mea paupauaho, Ua like me ka makani?
Doe ye imagine to reproue wordes, that the talke of the afflicted should be as the winde?
27 Oiaio, ke hoohina nei oukou i ka mea makua ole, A ke eli iho oukou i lua no ko oukou hoalauna.
Ye make your wrath to fall vpon the fatherlesse, and dig a pit for your friende.
28 Ano hoi, e noho malie oukou, e nana mai ia'u; No ka mea, ua akaka ia oukou, ke hoopunipuni au.
Nowe therefore be content to looke vpon me: for I will not lie before your face.
29 E hoi hou, ke noi aku nei au ia oukou, mai hoolilo ia i hewa; Oia e hoi hou hoi, A o ko'u pono aia iloko o ia mea.
Turne, I pray you, let there be none iniquitie: returne, I say, and ye shall see yet my righteousnesse in that behalfe.
30 He hewa anei iloko o kuu alelo? Aole anei au e ike i na mea hewa?
Is there iniquitie in my tongue? doeth not my mouth feele sorowes?
