Job 14
1 “Man, born of woman! 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 As a flower he has gone forth, and is cut off, And he flees as a shadow and does not stand.
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 Also—on this You have opened Your eyes, 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 gives 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 If his days are determined, The number of his months [are] with You, You have made his limit, And he does not pass over;
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 Look away from off him that he may cease, Until he enjoy as a hired worker 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 for a tree, if it is cut down, That it changes again, That its tender branch does 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 If its root becomes old in the earth, And its stem dies in the dust,
Ina ua elemakule kona aa ma ka honua, A ua make hoi kona kumu ma ka lepo;
9 From the fragrance of water it flourishes, And has made a crop as 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 And a man dies, and becomes weak, And man expires, 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 Waters have gone away from a sea, And a river becomes waste and dry.
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 has lain down, and does not rise, Until the wearing out of the heavens they do not awaken, Nor are roused 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 O that You would conceal me in Sheol, Hide me until the turning of Your anger, Set a limit for me, 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 dies—does he revive? All [the] days of my warfare I wait, until my change comes.
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 call, and I answer You; To the work of Your hands You have desire.
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 now, You number my steps, You do 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 yet, a falling mountain wastes away, and a rock is removed from 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 Waters have worn away stones, Their outpourings wash away the dust of earth, And You have destroyed 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 [over] him forever, and he goes, He is changing his countenance, And You 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 are honored, and he does not know; And they are little, and he does not attend to them.
Ua hoohanohanoia kana keiki, aole oia i ike: A ua hoohaahaaia lakou, aole ia i noonoo no lakou.
22 Only—his flesh is pained for him, And his soul mourns for him.”
Aka, e hui kona io maluna ona, A e uwe kona naau iloko ona.
