Job 14
1 For a mortal born of a woman [is] short lived, and full of wrath.
O KE kanaka i hanauia e ka wahine. He hapa kona mau la, a ua piha i ka popilikia.
2 Or he falls like a flower that has bloomed; and he departs like a shadow, and can’t continue.
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 Hast you not taken account even of him, and caused him to enter into judgment before 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 For who shall be pure from uncleanness? not even one;
Owai ka mea e unuhi ae i ka mea maemae mai o ka mea haumia? aole kekahi.
5 if even his life should be [but] one day upon the earth: and his months are numbered by him: you have appointed [him] for a time, and he shall by no means exceed [it].
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 Depart from him, that he may be quiet, and take pleasure in his life, [though] as a hireling.
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 for a tree, even if it should be cut down, [that] it shall blossom again, and its branch shall not fail.
No ka mea, a i kuaia ka laau, He manao no nona, e ulu hou auanei, Aole hoi e pau na lala hou.
8 For though its root should grow old in the earth, and its stem die in the rock;
Ina ua elemakule kona aa ma ka honua, A ua make hoi kona kumu ma ka lepo;
9 it will blossom from the scent of water, and will produce a crop, as one newly planted.
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 a man that has died is utterly gone; and when a mortal has fallen, he is no more.
Aka, o ke kanaka, e make no ia, a e nalowale aku; Oia, e make ana no ke kanaka, auhea la oia?
11 For the sea wastes in [length of] time, and a river fails and is dried 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 And man that has lain down [in death] shall certainly not rise again till the heaven be dissolved, and they shall not awake from 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 For oh that you had kept me in the grave, and had hidden me until your wrath should cease, and you should set me a time in which you would 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 For if a man should die, shall he live [again], having accomplished the days of his life? I will wait till I exist again?
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 Then shall you call, and I will listen to you: but do not you reject 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 But you have numbered my devices: and not one of my sins shall escape you?
No ka mea, ano ke helu nei oe i kuu mau kapuwai; Aole anei oe e kiai mai nei i ko'u hewa?
17 An you have sealed up my transgressions in a bag, and marked if I have been guilty of any transgression unawares.
Ua hoopaaia kuu hewa iloko o ka aa, Ua imi hala oe i kuu hewa.
18 And verily a mountain falling will utterly be destroyed, and a rock shall be worn out of its 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, and waters falling headlong [overflow] a heap 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 drive him to an end, and he is gone: you set your face against him, 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 and though his children be multiplied, he knows [it] not; and if they be few, he is not aware.
Ua hoohanohanoia kana keiki, aole oia i ike: A ua hoohaahaaia lakou, aole ia i noonoo no lakou.
22 But his flesh is in pain, and his soul mourns.
Aka, e hui kona io maluna ona, A e uwe kona naau iloko ona.
