Job 16
1 Then Job, answering, said:
A LAILA olelo mai la o Ioba, i mai la,
2 I have often heard such things; you are all aggravating comforters.
He nui na mea like a'u i lohe ai: He poe hooluolu hoopilikia oukou a pau.
3 Will there be no end to windy words? Or is it at all a burden to you, if you speak?
He hope anei no na huaolelo makani? Heaha ka mea hoala mai nei ia oe, i olelo mai ai oe?
4 I, too, can speak like you; and I also wish that your soul favored my soul. I would also comfort you with speeches and would wag my head over you.
E hiki no ia'u ke olelo aku e like me ka oukou; Ina paha ua noho oukou ma ko'u wahi. E hiki no ia'u ke hookui i ka olelo ku e ia oukou; A e hooluliluli aku i ko'u poo ia oukou.
5 I would strengthen you with my mouth, and would move my lips, as if being lenient to you.
Aka, e hookupaa no au ia oukou me kuu waha, A o ka hooluolu ana o kuu lehelehe, e hoopaa aku no ia.
6 But what can I do? When I am speaking, my grief will not be quiet; and if I am quiet, it will not withdraw from me.
Ina e olelo aku au, aole e oluolu kuu eha; Ina e noho malie hoi au, pehea ia e haalele ai ia'u?
7 But now my grief has crushed me, and all my limbs have been reduced to nothing.
Aka, ano ua hooluhi mai ia ia'u; Ua luku mai oe i ko'u ohana a pau.
8 My wrinkles bear witness against me, and a liar rises up against my face, contradicting me.
Ua hoopaa mai oe ia'u, i mea hoike; O kuu wiwi, ke ku mai no ia ia'u, A e hoike mai imua o kuu maka.
9 He has gathered together his fury towards me, and, threatening me, he has roared against me with his teeth; my enemy has beheld me with terrible eyes.
Ke haehae mai nei kona huhu, a ua inaina mai ia ia'u; Ke nau mai nei ia ia'u me kona mau niho; O kuu enemi, ke hookala nei ia i kona mau maka maluna o'u.
10 They have opened their mouths against me, and, reproaching me, they have struck me on the cheek; they are nourished by my sufferings.
Ua hamama lakou maluna o'u me ko lakou waha; Ua papai lakou ia'u ma ka papalina me ka hoino: Ua hoakoakoaia lakou ma kahi hookahi e ku e ia'u.
11 God has confined me with the immoral, and he has delivered me into the hands of the impious.
Ua hoolilo ke Akua ia'u i ka poe hewa, A ua haawi ia'u iloko o ka lima o ka poe aia.
12 I, who once was wealthy, am now crushed. He has grabbed me by my neck; he has broken me and has placed me before him as a sign.
I noho maluhia la no wan, aka, ua ulupa mai nei ia ia'u; Ua lalau mai ia ma kuu a-i, a ulupa mai no ia ia'u, Ua hooku mai ia'u i hoailona nona.
13 He has surrounded me with his lances. He has severely wounded my lower back, he has not been lenient, and he has poured out my organs upon the earth.
Ua hoopuni kona poe panapua ia'u, Ua wahi mai ia i na puupaa o'u, aole e hookuu ae; Ua ninini iho ia i kuu au ma ka honua.
14 He has cut me with wound after wound. He has rushed upon me like a giant.
Ua wawahi roai ia ia'u, me ka wahi ana mahope o ka wahi ana, Ua lele mai ia maluna o'u me he mea ikaika la.
15 I have sewn sackcloth over my skin, and I have covered my body with ashes.
Ua humuhumu au i ke kapa ino maluna o kuu ili, Ua hoohaumia au i kuu pepeiaohao iloko o ka lepo.
16 My face is swollen from weeping, and my eyelids have dimmed my vision.
Ua ulaula kuu maka i ka uwe ana, A maluna o ko'u mau lihilihi maka ke aka o ka make.
17 These things I have endured without iniquity in my hand, while I held pure prayers before God.
Aole no ka mea pono ole iloko o ko'u lima; A o ka'u pule, ua maemae hoi ia.
18 O earth, do not conceal my blood, nor let my outcry find a hiding place in you.
E ka honua, mai uhi oe i ko'u koko, Aole hoi e haawi i wahi no kuu uwe ana.
19 For behold, my witness is in heaven, and my confidante is on high.
Ano hoi, aia ma ka lani kuu mea ike maka, A o kuu mea hoike ma na wahi kiekie.
20 My friends are full of words; my eye rains tears upon God.
O kuu poe hoino, o ko'u mau makamaka no ia: Ke hu aku nei kuu maka i ke Akua.
21 And I wish that a man might be so judged before God, just as the son of man is judged with his assistant!
Ina he mea e uwao me ke Akua no ke kanaka, E like me ke kanaka no kona hoalauna!
22 For behold, a few years pass by, and I am walking a path by which I will not return.
A hala he hapa na makahiki, Alaila e hele aku au i ke ala aole au e hoi hou mai.
