Job 17
1 My spirit shall be wasted, my days shall be shortened, and only the grave remaineth for me.
U A paupauaho au, ua hookiia kuu mau la, Ua makaukau na halelua no'u.
2 I have not sinned, and my eye abideth in bitterness.
Aole anei he poe olelo hoino me au? A ke kau nei kuu maka ma ko lakou hoonaukiuki ana?
3 Deliver me O Lord, and set me beside thee, and let any man’s hand fight against me.
E waiho iho ano, e hana mai ia'u i malu me oe; Owai ka mea e pai i na lima me au.
4 Thou hast set their heart far from understanding, therefore they shall not be exalted.
No ka mea, ua hoohuna oe i ka naauao mai ko lakou naau aku; Nolaila, aole oe e hookiekie ia lakou.
5 He promiseth a prey to his companions, and the eyes of his children shall fail.
O ka mea e kumakaia i kona mau hoalauna no ka waiwai pio, E hoopauia na maka o kaua poe keiki.
6 He hath made me as it were a byword of the people, and I am an example before them.
Ua hooku mai oia ia'u i mea e olelo nane ia e na kanaka; A ua lilo au i mea hoopailua imua o lakou.
7 My eye is dim through indignation, and my limbs are brought as it were to nothing.
Ua ponalonalo kuu maka no ka uwe ana, A o kuu helehelena a pau ua like ia me ke aka.
8 The just shall be astonished at this, and the innocent shall be raised up against the hypocrite.
E kahaha ka poe pono i keia, A e hooku e la mea hala ole i ka aia.
9 And the just man shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
E hoomau no ka mea pono i kona aoao, A o ka mea lima maemae, e hoomahuahua aku ia i ka ikaika.
10 Wherefore be you all converted, and come, and I shall not find among you any wise man.
Aka, o oukou a pau, e hoi mai no, No ka mea, aole e loaa ia'u iwaena o oukou ka mea naauao.
11 My days have passed away, my thoughts are dissipated, tormenting my heart.
Ua hala kuu mau la, ua okiia'ku kuu mau noonoo, O na manaolana o kuu naau.
12 They have turned night into day, and after darkness I hope for light again.
Ua hoololi lakou i ka po i ao, O ka malamalama, ua pokole ia no ka pouli.
Ina e kakali aku au, O ka luakupapau ko'u hale: Ua hohola aku au i kuu wahi moe ma ka pouli. (Sheol h7585)
14 If I have said to rottenness: Thou art my father; to worms, my mother and my sister.
Ua kapa aku au i ka palaho, O oe ko'u makuakane, A i ka ilo, O oe ko'u makuwahine, a me ko'u kaikuwahine.
15 Where is now then my expectation, and who considereth my patience?
Auhea hoi kuu manaolana? A o ko'u manaolana, owai la ka mea e ike aku ia?
