Job 7
1 Is there not a warfare to man upon earth? And are not his days like the days of a hireling?
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 who earnestly desires the shadow, and as a hireling who looks for his wages,
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 am made to possess months of misery, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
Pela no e lilo mai ai ia'u na malama luuluu, A e loaa ia'u na po kaumaha.
4 When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? And I am full of tossing to and fro to the dawning of the day.
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 clothed with worms and clods of dust. My skin closes up, and breaks out afresh.
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 are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent 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 remember that my life is a breath. My eye shall no more 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 shall behold me no more. Thine eyes shall be upon me, but I shall not be.
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 As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away, so he who goes down to Sheol shall come up no more. (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 shall return no more to his house, nor shall his place know him any more.
Aole ia e hoi hou i kona hale, Aole hoi e ike hou kona wahi ia ia.
11 Therefore I will not refrain my mouth. I will speak in the anguish of my spirit. I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
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-monster, that thou set 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, My bed shall comfort me. My couch shall ease my complaint.
A i iho au, E hooluolu kuu wahi moe ia'u, E lawe aku kuu moe i ko'u ulono ana:
14 Then thou scare me with dreams, and terrify me through visions,
Alaila hoomakau mai oe ia'u ma na moeuhane, A hooweliweli mai oe ia'u i na mea hihio.
15 so that my soul chooses strangling and death rather than these my bones.
Nolaila ke koho nei kuu naau i ke kaawe, A me ka make mamua o kuu ola ana.
16 I loathe my life. I would not live always. Let me alone, for my days are vanity.
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 thou should magnify him, and that thou should set thy mind upon 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 thou should visit him every morning, and try him every moment?
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 thou not look away from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?
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 sinned, what do I do to thee, O thou watcher of men? Why have thou set me as a mark for thee, so that I am a burden 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 thou not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? For now I shall lie down in the dust, and thou will seek me diligently, but I shall not be.
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.
