Job 5
1 Call now, if there be any that will answer you; and to which of the saints will you turn?
E KAHEA ano, ina paha e pane mai kekahi ia oe; Io wai la o na mea laa e huli ai oe?
2 For wrath kills the foolish man, and envy slays the silly one.
No ka mea, ke pepehi nei ka inaina i ka mea naaupo, A ke hoomake nei ka huhu i ka mea hawawa.
3 I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
Ua ike au i ka mea naaupo e ulu ana; A hoino koke aku au i kona noho ana.
4 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.
Ua mamao aku kana poe keiki i ka maluhia, Ua ulupaia lakou ma ka pukapa, Aohe mea nana e hoopakele.
5 Whose harvest the hungry eats up, and takes it even out of the thorns, and the robber swallows up their substance.
O kana ai i ohiia ua pau i ka mea pololi, A ua lawe aku ia mea mailoko mai o na laau kuku, A kaili na powa i ko lakou waiwai.
6 Although affliction comes not forth of the dust, neither does trouble spring out of the ground;
No ka mea, aole e puka mai ka popilikia mai ka lepo mai, Aole hoi e kupu mai ka ehaeha mailoko mai o ka honua.
7 Yet man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
Aka, ua hanau ke kanaka no ka ehaeha, E like me na hunaahi i lele ae iluna.
8 I would seek to God, and to God would I commit my cause:
Aka e imi au i ke Akua, A i ke Akua e waiho aku i kuu olelo;
9 Which does great things and unsearchable; marvelous things without number:
Oia ke hana i na mea nui, a hiki ole ke hoomaopopoia; I na mea kupaianaha, a hiki ole ke heluia:
10 Who gives rain on the earth, and sends waters on the fields:
Ka mea e haawi ana i ka ua maluna o ka honua, A e hoouna mai ana i na wai maluna o na kula.
11 To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
E hookiekie iluna i ka poe i hoowahawahaia; I kaikaiia'i iluna i kahi malu ka poe e uwe ana.
12 He disappoints the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
Ke hookahuli nei oia i na manao o ka poe maalea, A hiki ole i ko lakou lima ke hooko i ko lakou mea i manao ai.
13 He takes the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the fraudulent is carried headlong.
Ke hei aku nei oia i ka poe akamai iloko o ko lakou maalea; A ua hoohioloia ka manao o ka poe paakiki.
14 They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the noonday as in the night.
I ke ao halawai lakou me ka pouli, A ke hana nei lakou i ka wa awakea, e like me ia i ka po.
15 But he saves the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
Aka, ke hoopakele no ia i ka poe ilihune mai ka pahikaua mai, mai ko lakou waha mai, A mai ka lima mai o ka mea ikaika.
16 So the poor has hope, and iniquity stops her mouth.
Nolaila, ua loaa i ka mea hune ka manaolana, A ua hoopaa ka hewa i kona waha.
17 Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects: therefore despise not you the chastening of the Almighty:
Aia hoi, pomaikai ke kanaka a ke Akua i hoeha mai; Nolaila, mai hoowahawaha oe i ka hahau ana mai o ka Mea mana:
18 For he makes sore, and binds up: he wounds, and his hands make whole.
No ka mea, ke hoeha mai nei ia, a e lapaau mai hoi: Ke hahau mai nei oia, a e hoola mai hoi kona mau lima.
19 He shall deliver you in six troubles: yes, in seven there shall no evil touch you.
Iloko o na pilikia eono e hoopakele mai oia ia oe: A iloko o ka hiku hoi, aole e hoopa mai ka ino ia oe.
20 In famine he shall redeem you from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
Iloko o ka wi e hoopakele mai oia ia oe i ka make; A iloko o ke kaua, mai ka lima o ka pahikaua mai.
21 You shall be hid from the whip of the tongue: neither shall you be afraid of destruction when it comes.
E hunaia oe mai ke alelo hoino mai: Aole hoi oe e makau i ka luku, ke hiki mai.
22 At destruction and famine you shall laugh: neither shall you be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
I ka luku a i ka pololi e akaaka no oe: Aole hoi oe e makau i na holoholona hihiu o ka honua.
23 For you shall be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.
No ka mea, e noho kuikahi oe me na pohaku o ke kula; A e maluhia na holoholona hihiu o ke kula me oe.
24 And you shall know that your tabernacle shall be in peace; and you shall visit your habitation, and shall not sin.
A e ike no oe, he maluhia kou halelewa: A e nana no oe i kou hale, aohe mea nalo.
25 You shall know also that your seed shall be great, and your offspring as the grass of the earth.
A e ike no oe, he nui kou hua, A o kau poe keiki, e like me ka weuweu o ka honua.
26 You shall come to your grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn comes in in his season.
E hele auanei oe i ka luakupapau me ka ikaika nui, E like me na puu hua palaoa i kona manawa.
27 See this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know you it for your good.
Aia hoi o keia ka makou i manao ai, pela io no; E hoolohe oe, a e ike oe ia mea pono nou.
