Job 20
1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
A LAILA olelo aku la o Zopara, no Naama, i aku la,
2 Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste.
O kuu mau manao ka mea e olelo aku ai au, A no kuu ikaika iloko o'u.
3 I have heard the rebuke that reproaches me, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.
O ke ao ana o kuu hoinoia ka'u i lohe, A o ka uhane o kuu naauao, oia ka'u mea e pane aku nei.
4 Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,
Ua ike anei oe i keia, mai ka wa kahiko mai, Mai ka manawa i hoonohoia'i ke kanaka maluna o ka honua,
5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
O ka olioli o ka poe hewa, he pokole ia, A o ka lealea o ka aia, no ka minute ia?
6 Though his excellency shall mount up to the heavens, and his head reach to the clouds;
Ina e pii ae kona kiekie i na lani, A e hiki kona poo i na ao;
7 Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they who have seen him shall say, Where is he?
E nalo loa oia e like me kona lepo: E olelo nuanei ka poe i ike ia ia, Auhea oia?
8 He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
E like me ka moeuhane e lele aku ia, aole e loaa oia: A e holo aku oia e like me ka hihio o ka po.
9 The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
O ka maka i ike ia ia, aole ia e ike hou ia ia; Aole hoi e ike hou kona wahi ia ia.
10 His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.
E hoolaulea kana mau keiki i ka poe ilihune, A e hoihoi aku kona mau lima i ko lakou waiwai.
11 His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.
Ua piha kona mau iwi i kona opiopio, A e moe pu ia me ia ma ka lepo.
12 Though wickedness may be sweet in his mouth, though he may hide it under his tongue;
Ina e ono ka hewa ma kona wana, A e huna ia mea malalo o kona alelo;
13 Though he may spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:
Ina e aua ia mea, a haalele ole ia, A e malama hoi ia mawaena konu o kona waha;
14 Yet his food in his body is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.
O ka ai iloko o kona naau e hoololiia, Oia ka mea make o na moonihoawa iloko ona.
15 He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
Ua moni no ia i ka waiwai, A e luai hou aku no ia mea; Na ke Akua e hoohemo ia mea mai kona opu aku.
16 He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper’s tongue shall slay him.
E omo no oia i ka mea make o na moonihoawa: O ke elelo o ka moomake e pepehi ia ia.
17 He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.
Aole ia e ike i ua kahawai, I na muliwai, me na kahawai o ka meli, a me ka waiu.
18 That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice in it.
E hoihoi aku no ia i ka mea ana i luhi ai, aole ia e moni iho ia; E like me ka waiwai e hoihoiia'aku, aole ia e olioli ilaila.
19 Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he did not build;
No ka mea, na hookaumaha, ua haalele i ka poe ilihune; Ua lawe wale aku ia i ka hale ana i kukulu ole ai.
20 Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.
No ia hoi, aole ia e ike i ka oluolu maloko o kona opu, Aole ia e hookoe i kana mea i makemake ai.
21 There shall none of his food be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.
Aohe mea e koe no kana ai; Nolaila, aole he manaolana no kona pomaikai.
22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.
Ma ka nui ana o kona waiwai, e hiki ka popilikia ia ia; O kela lima keia lima o ka poino e hiki mai ia maluna ona.
23 When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.
I ka wa e hoopiha ai ia i kona opu, E hoolei mai no ko Akua i kona inaina maluna ona, A e hooua mai no ia maluna ona i kana ai ana.
24 He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.
E holo aku ia mai ka mea kana hao aku, E houia oia i ke kakaka keleawe.
25 It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.
Hukiia mai la ia a puka ae mai ke kino mai; A puka ae hoi ka pahikaua huali mai kona au mai; Maluna ona na mea weliweli.
26 All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tent.
Ua hoahuia ka poino a pau no kona waiwai; O ke ahi i hoa ole ia e hoopau ia ia; E popilikia ka mea o koe iloko o kona halelewa.
27 The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.
E hoike mai ka lani i kona hewa; E ku e mai ka honua ia ia.
28 The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
O ka waiwai o kona hale, e nalowale ia, E uininiia aku ia i ka la o kona inaina.
29 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed to him by God.
Oia ka uku o ke kanaka hewa mai ke Akua mai, Oia kona hoilina i oleloia mai e ke Akua.
