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 hath gone forth, and is cut off, And he fleeth as a shadow and standeth not.
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 Thou hast opened Thine eyes, And dost bring me into judgment with Thee.
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 giveth 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 determined are his days, The number of his months [are] with Thee, His limit Thou hast made, And he passeth not 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, Till he enjoy as an hireling 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 of a tree hope, if it be cut down, That again it doth change, That its tender branch doth 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 becometh old in the earth, And its stem doth die 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 doth flourish, And hath 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 dieth, and becometh weak, And man expireth, 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 becometh 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 hath lain down, and riseth not, Till the wearing out of the heavens they awake not, 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 in Sheol Thou wouldest conceal me, Hide me till the turning of Thine anger, Set for me a limit, 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 dieth — doth he revive? All days of my warfare I wait, till my change come.
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 Thou dost call, and I — I answer Thee; To the work of Thy hands Thou hast 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, my steps Thou numberest, Thou dost 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 Sealed up in a bag [is] my transgression, And Thou sewest up mine iniquity.
Ua hoopaaia kuu hewa iloko o ka aa, Ua imi hala oe i kuu hewa.
18 And yet, a falling mountain wasteth 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 Stones have waters worn away, Their outpourings wash away the dust of earth, And the hope of man Thou hast destroyed.
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 Thou prevailest [over] him for ever, and he goeth, He is changing his countenance, And Thou sendest 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 Honoured are his sons, and he knoweth not; And they are little, and he attendeth not to them.
Ua hoohanohanoia kana keiki, aole oia i ike: A ua hoohaahaaia lakou, aole ia i noonoo no lakou.
22 Only — his flesh for him is pained, And his soul for him doth mourn.'
Aka, e hui kona io maluna ona, A e uwe kona naau iloko ona.
