< Job 33 >

1 Wherefore, Iob, I pray thee, heare my talke and hearken vnto all my wordes.
NOLAILA ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e Ioba, e hoolohe mai i ka'u mau olelo, A e haliu mai i ka'u mau huaolelo a pau.
2 Beholde now, I haue opened my mouth: my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
Aia hoi, ano, ke wehe nei au i kuu waha, Ke olelo aku nei kuu elelo ma kuu waha.
3 My words are in the vprightnesse of mine heart, and my lippes shall speake pure knowledge.
Ma ka pono o kuu naau ka'u olelo; A e olelo akaka kuu lehelehe i ka naauao.
4 The Spirite of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almightie hath giuen me life.
Na ka Uhane o ke Akua owau i hana, Na ka hanu hoi o ka Mea mana owau i hoola.
5 If thou canst giue me answere, prepare thy selfe and stand before me.
Ina e hiki ia oe ke ekemu mai ia'u, E hooponopono oe imua o'u, e kupaa.
6 Beholde, I am according to thy wish in Gods stead: I am also formed of the clay.
Aia hoi, no ke Akua no wau e like me oe; Ua hanaia hoi au mai ka lepo mai.
7 Beholde, my terrour shall not feare thee, neither shall mine hand be heauie vpon thee.
Aia hoi, aole ko'u makau e hooweliweli ia oe, Aole e hookaumahaia ko'u lima maluna ou.
8 Doubtles thou hast spoken in mine eares, and I haue heard the voyce of thy wordes.
He oiaio, ua olelo mai oe maloko o kuu pepeiao, A ua lohe au i ka leo o kau mau olelo;
9 I am cleane, without sinne: I am innocent, and there is none iniquitie in me.
Ua maemae wau, me ka hala ole, Ua maemae wau, aohe hewa iloko o'u.
10 Lo, he hath found occasions against me, and counted me for his enemie.
Aia hoi, ua imi no ia i na mea ku e ia'u, Ua manao mai ia ia'u he enemi nona;
11 He hath put my feete in the stockes, and looketh narrowly vnto all my paths.
Ua hookomo no ia i kuu mau wawae ma ka laau kupee, Ua hoohalua no ia i ko'u mau aoao a pau.
12 Behold, in this hast thou not done right: I will answere thee, that God is greater then man.
Aia hoi, ma keia ua pono ole oe; E olelo aku au ia oe, no ka mea, ua oi ke Akua mamua o ke kanaka.
13 Why doest thou striue against him? for he doeth not giue account of all his matters.
No ke aha la oe i hakaka pu ai me ia? No ka mea, aole ia i hoike mai i kana mau mea a pau.
14 For God speaketh once or twise, and one seeth it not.
No ka mea, hookahi ka ke Akua olelo ana mai, A elua hoi, aole nae i manaoia oia.
15 In dreames and visions of the night, when sleepe falleth vpon men, and they sleepe vpon their beds,
Ma ka moeuhane, ma ka hihio i ka po, I ke kau ana o ka hiamoe nui maluna o kanaka, I ka hiamoe ana maluna o kahi moe;
16 Then he openeth the eares of men, euen by their corrections, which he had sealed,
Alaila wehe ae la ia i na pepeiao o kanaka, A hoopaa mai ia i ke ao ana o lakou,
17 That he might cause man to turne away from his enterprise, and that he might hide the pride of man,
I hoololi ai ia i ka ke kanaka hana, A e hookaa i ke kiekie mai ke kanaka aku.
18 And keepe backe his soule from the pit, and that his life should not passe by the sword.
Ua hoopakele no ia i kona uhane mai ka luakupapau mai, A i kona ola hoi mai ka make ana i ka pahikaua.
19 He is also striken with sorow vpon his bed, and the griefe of his bones is sore,
Ua hoopaiia oia i ka eha maluna o kona wahi moe, A o ka haukeke o kona mau iwi, ua ikaika ia.
20 So that his life causeth him to abhorre bread, and his soule daintie meate.
Ua hoopailua kona naau i ka berena, A o kona uhane i ka ai maikai.
21 His flesh faileth that it can not be seene, and his bones which were not seene, clatter.
Ua hoopauia kona io mai ka maka aku, A ua ahuwale mai kona mau iwi i ike ole ia.
22 So his soule draweth to the graue, and his life to the buriers.
A ua hookokokeia kona uhane i ka luakupapau, A o kona ola i na mea hoopau.
23 If there be a messenger with him, or an interpreter, one of a thousand to declare vnto man his righteousnesse,
Ina me ia he anela, he hoikeolelo, Hookahi noloko mai o ke tausani, E hoike aku i ke kanaka i kona pono;
24 Then will he haue mercie vpon him, and will say, Deliuer him, that he go not downe into the pit: for I haue receiued a reconciliation.
A aloha mai oia ia ia, a i iho la, E hoopakele ia ia mai ka iho ana i ka lua; Ua loaa ia'u ka uku hoola.
25 Then shall his flesh be as fresh as a childes, and shall returne as in the dayes of his youth.
E hana hou ia kona io me ia i ka wa kamalii, E hoi hou no ia i na la o kona wa opio:
26 He shall pray vnto God, and he will be fauourable vnto him, and he shall see his face with ioy: for he will render vnto man his righteousnes.
E pule aku no ia i ke Akua, a e oluolu no oia ia ia: A e ike aku ia i kona maka me ka hauoli; A e hoihoi aku no ia no ke kanaka i kona pono.
27 He looketh vpon men, and if one say, I haue sinned, and peruerted righteousnesse, and it did not profite me,
E nana mai no ia i na kanaka, A e olelo iho kekahi, Ua hewa au, A ua hookahuli au i ka pono, aole nae i hooukuia mai au;
28 He will deliuer his soule from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
E hoopakele no ia i kona uhane mai ka hele ana i ka lua, A e ike kona mau maka i ka malamalama.
29 Lo, all these things will God worke twise or thrise with a man,
Aia hoi, o keia mau mea a pau i hana pinepine ai ke Akua me ke kanaka,
30 That he may turne backe his soule from the pit, to be illuminate in the light of the liuing.
E hoihoi mai i kona uhane mai ka lua mai, E hoomalamalamaia i ka malamalama o ka poe e ola ana.
31 Marke well, O Iob, and heare me: keepe silence, and I will speake.
E haliu mai oe, e Ioba, e hoolohe mai ia'u: E noho malie, a na'u e olelo aku.
32 If there be matter, answere me, and speak: for I desire to iustifie thee.
Ina he wahi mea, e ekemu mai oe ia'u, E olelo mai, no ka mea ke makemake nei au i kou hoaponoia.
33 If thou hast not, heare me: holde thy tongue, and I will teach thee wisedome.
A i ole hoi, e hoolohe mai oe ia'u, E noho malie, a e ao aku au ia oe i ka noeau.
