Job 7
1 The life of man upon earth is a warfare, and his days are 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 longeth for the shade, as the hireling looketh for the end of his work;
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 also have had empty months, and have numbered to myself wearisome nights.
Pela no e lilo mai ai ia'u na malama luuluu, A e loaa ia'u na po kaumaha.
4 If I lie down to sleep, I shall say: When shall arise? and again I shall look for the evening, and shall be filled with sorrows even till darkness.
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 rottenness and the filth of dust, my skin is withered and drawn together.
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 have passed more swiftly than the web is cut by the weaver, and are consumed without any hope.
Ua oi ka mama o kuu mau la mamua o ka laau ulana lole, A holo aku me ke manaolana ole.
7 Remember that my life is but wind, and my eyes shall not return to see good things.
E hoomanao oe, he makani kuu ola: Aole e ike hou ko'u maka i ka maikai.
8 Nor shall the sight of man behold me: thy eyes are upon me, and I shall be no more.
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 a cloud is consumed, and passeth away: so he that shall go down to hell shall not come up. (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 Nor shall he return my more into his house, neither 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 Wherefore I will not spare my month, I will speak in the affliction of my spirit: I will talk with 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 whale, that thou hast enclosed me in a prison?
He kai anei au, a he ia nui, I hoonoho mai ai oe i ke kiai maluna o'u?
13 If I say: My bed shall comfort me, and I shall be relieved speaking with myself on my couch:
A i iho au, E hooluolu kuu wahi moe ia'u, E lawe aku kuu moe i ko'u ulono ana:
14 Thou wilt frighten me with dreams and terrify me with 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 rather chooseth hanging, and my bones death.
Nolaila ke koho nei kuu naau i ke kaawe, A me ka make mamua o kuu ola ana.
16 I have done with hope, I shall now live no longer: spare me, for my days are nothing.
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 a man that thou shouldst magnify him? or why dost thou set thy heart 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 Thou visitest him early in the morning, and thou provest him suddenly.
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 wilt thou not spare me, nor suffer me to 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 I have sinned: what shall I do to thee, O keeper of men? why hast thou set me opposite to thee, and I am become burdensome 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 Why dost thou not remove my sin, and why dost thou not take away my iniquity? Behold now I shall sleep in the dust: and if thou seek me in the morning, 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.
