Job 24
1 “For this reason from the Mighty One Times have not been hidden, And those knowing Him have not seen His days.
NO ka mea, aole i hoonaloia na manawa mai ka Mea mana aku, No ke aha la aole ka poe ike ia ia e noonoo i kona mau la?
2 They reach the borders, They have taken a drove away violently, Indeed, they do evil.
Hoonee aku lakou i na palena aina, A lawe wale aku lakou i ka poe hipa, a hanai aku ia lakou.
3 They lead away the donkey of the fatherless, They take in pledge the ox of the widow,
Alakai aku lakou i ka hokikane o ka poe makua ole; A lawe lakou i ka bipi a ka wahinekanemake i uku panai.
4 They turn aside the needy from the way, Together have hid the poor of the earth.
Ua kipaku lakou i ka poe nele mai ke ala aku; Pee pu aku la na ilihune o ka honua.
5 Behold, wild donkeys in a wilderness, They have gone out about their work, Seeking early for prey, A mixture for himself—food for young ones.
Aia hoi, me na hoki hihiu ma ka waonahele, hele aku lakou i ka lakou hana; E imi ana i ka mea pio; O ka waonahele oia ka ai na lakou, a na ka lakou poe keiki.
6 They reap his provender in a field, And they glean the vineyard of the wicked.
Ma ka mahinaai, oki kela mea keia mea i kana ai; A hoiliili lakou ma ka pawaina o ka mea hewa,
7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing. And there is no covering in the cold.
Waiho lakou i ka poe olohelohe i moe lakou me ka kapa ole, Aohe mea uhi iloko o ke anu.
8 From the inundation of hills they are wet, And without a refuge—have embraced a rock.
Ua pulu lakou i ka ua nui o oa mauna, A no ka hale ole, ua pili lakou i ka pohaku.
9 They take away violently The orphan from the breast, And they lay a pledge on the poor.
Kaili lakou i ka mea makua ole mai ka u aku, A lawe lakou i ka aahu o ka ilihune i uku panei
10 Naked, they have gone without clothing, And hungry—have taken away a sheaf.
Hoohele lakou i ka mea olohelohe me ke kapa ole, A lawe aku lakou i ka poa palaoa mai ka pololi;
11 They make oil between their walls, They have trodden winepresses, and thirst.
Kaomi lakou i ka aila mawaena o ko lakou meu papohaku, Hahi lakou i na wahi kaomi waina, a makewai lakou.
12 Men groan because of enmity, And the soul of pierced ones cries, And God does not give praise.
Kunukunu na kanaka mai ke kulanakauhale aku, A o ka naau i houia ke kahea aku; Aole ke Akua i manao mai i ka mea lapuwale,
13 They have been those rebelling against light, They have not discerned His ways, Nor abided in His paths.
O lakou ka poe e kipi ana i ka malamalama, Aole lakou i ike i kona mau kuamoo, Aole lakou i nobo ma kona mau alanui.
14 The murderer rises at the light, He slays the poor and needy, And in the night he is as a thief.
I ka malamalama ala mai ka pepehi kanaka, A pepehi aku i ka poe ilihune a me ka poe nele, A i ka po ua like ia me ka aihue.
15 And the eye of an adulterer Has observed the twilight, Saying, No eye beholds me. And he puts the face in secret.
Ke kali ae la ka make o ka mea moe kolohe i ke ahiahi poeleele, I iho la, Aole e ike mai ka make ia'u; A kau i ka pale ma ka make.
16 He has dug in the darkness—houses; By day they shut themselves up, They have not known light.
I ka pouli wawahi lakou i na hale, I ke ao hoopaa lakou ia lakou iho iloko: Aole lakou i ike i ka malamalama.
17 When together, morning [is] death-shade to them, When he discerns the terrors of death-shade.
No ka mea, o kakahiaka, ua like pu ia no lakou me ka malu make; Ina ikeia, ua kau mai na mea weliweli o ka malu make.
18 He [is] light on the face of the waters, Their portion is vilified in the earth, He does not turn the way of vineyards.
Ua like lakou me ka mea mama maluna o ka wai; Ua hoinoia ko lakou kuleana ma ka honua; Aole lakou e huli ae ma ke ala o na pawaina,
Na ka maloo a me ka wela e hoopau aku i na wai o ka hau; Pela no ka po i ka poe hana hewa. (Sheol h7585)
20 The womb forgets him, The worm sweetens [on] him, He is remembered no more, And wickedness is broken as a tree.
E hoopoina ka opu ia ia; E ai wale ka ilo ia ia; Aole loa e hoomanaoia oia; A e haki ka mea hewa me he laau la.
21 Treating evil the barren [who] does not bear, And he does no good [to] the widow,
Hookaumaha oia i ka mea pa hanau ole, Aole ia i hana maikai aku i ka wahinekanemake,
22 And [God] has drawn the mighty by His power, He rises, and none believes in life.
Lawe aku no ia i ka poe alii ma kona ikaika; A ka mai oia, aohe malu ke ola o kekahi.
23 He gives to him confidence, and he is supported, And His eyes [are] on their ways.
Ina e haawiia none e maluhia, a e hilinai; Aka, o kona mau make aia maluna o ko lakou mau aoao.
24 They were high [for] a little, and they are not, And they have been brought low. They are shut up as all [others], And cut off as the head of an ear of grain.
Ua hookiekieia lakou i ka wa pokole, Aka, oa ole lakou, a ua hoonalowaleia lakou; E like me na mea a pau, ua hoiia lakou, Ua okiia lakou e like me na piko huhui palaoa.
25 And if not now, who proves me a liar, And makes my word of nothing?”
Ina i ole pela ano, Owai la ka mea e hoike mai, he hoopunipuni ka'u, A e hoolilo i ka'u olelo i mea ole?
