Job 14
1 Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble.
O KE kanaka i hanauia e ka wahine. He hapa kona mau la, a ua piha i ka popilikia.
2 He comes forth like a flower, and is cut down: he flees also as a shadow, and continues not.
Puka mai no ia me he pua la, a ua okiia aku; A holo aku no ia me he aka la, aole ia e mau.
3 And does you open your eyes on such an one, and bring me into judgment with you?
A ke kau anei oe i kou mau maka maluna o ka mea like me ia, A e lawe mai ia'u i ka hookolokoloia ana e oe?
4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
Owai ka mea e unuhi ae i ka mea maemae mai o ka mea haumia? aole kekahi.
5 Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with you, you have appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
No ka mea, ua heluia kona mau la, A ia oe no ka huina o kona mau malama, Ua hoonoho oe i kona mau mokuna, i hiki ole ai ia ke ae aku;
6 Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.
E nana ae oe mai ona aku la, i hoomaha iho ai ia, A hauoli ia i kona ia, me he mea hoolimalima la.
7 For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
No ka mea, a i kuaia ka laau, He manao no nona, e ulu hou auanei, Aole hoi e pau na lala hou.
8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
Ina ua elemakule kona aa ma ka honua, A ua make hoi kona kumu ma ka lepo;
9 Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
Aka, no ka honi ana i ka wai e kupu ae ia, A e hookupu aku i na lala, me he laau kanu la,
10 But man dies, and wastes away: yes, man gives up the ghost, and where is he?
Aka, o ke kanaka, e make no ia, a e nalowale aku; Oia, e make ana no ke kanaka, auhea la oia?
11 As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decays and dries up:
E like me ka maloo ana o na wai, mai ke kai aku, A me ka emi ana o ka muliwai, a maloo iho;
12 So man lies down, and rises not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
Pela e moe iho ai ke kanaka, aole ku hou ae; Aole lakou e ala hou mai, a pau aku na lani, Aole hoi e hooku hou ia, mai ko lakou hiamoe ana.
13 O that you would hide me in the grave, that you would keep me secret, until your wrath be past, that you would appoint me a set time, and remember me! (Sheol h7585)
E pono e waiho iho oe ia'u iloko o ka luakupapau, A e huna oe ia'u, a hala aku kou huhu, A e hoakaka mai no'u i ka manawa pono, a e hoomanao mai ia'u! (Sheol h7585)
14 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
Ina e make ke kanaka, e ola hou anei oia? O na la a pau o ko'u kaua ana ka'u e kali ai, A hiki mai ko'u manawa.
15 You shall call, and I will answer you: you will have a desire to the work of your hands.
E kahea mai oe ia'u, a e hoolohe aku no au ia oe: A e aloha mai no oe i ka hana a kou mau lima.
16 For now you number my steps: do you not watch over my sin?
No ka mea, ano ke helu nei oe i kuu mau kapuwai; Aole anei oe e kiai mai nei i ko'u hewa?
17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and you sew up my iniquity.
Ua hoopaaia kuu hewa iloko o ka aa, Ua imi hala oe i kuu hewa.
18 And surely the mountains falling comes to nothing, and the rock is removed out of his place.
A he oiaio, o ka mauna e hiolo ana, moe mau no ia, A ua hooneeia ka pohaku mai kona wahi aku.
19 The waters wear the stones: you wash away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and you destroy the hope of man.
Ke anai nei na wai i na pohaku; O kona wai nui, ua hoopau aku ia i ka lepo o ka aina; Pela oe e hoomake nei i ka manaolana o ke kanaka.
20 You prevail for ever against him, and he passes: you change his countenance, and send him away.
Ke lanakila mau nei oe maluna ona, a hele aku no ia: Ke boopahaohao nei oe i kona maka, a hoouna aku ia ia.
21 His sons come to honor, and he knows it not; and they are brought low, but he perceives it not of them.
Ua hoohanohanoia kana keiki, aole oia i ike: A ua hoohaahaaia lakou, aole ia i noonoo no lakou.
22 But his flesh on him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
Aka, e hui kona io maluna ona, A e uwe kona naau iloko ona.
