Job 24
1 Wherefore 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 The borders they reach, A drove they have taken violently away, Yea, 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 The ass of the fatherless they lead away, 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 Lo, wild asses 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 In a field his provender they reap, And the vineyard of the wicked they glean.
Ma ka mahinaai, oki kela mea keia mea i kana ai; A hoiliili lakou ma ka pawaina o ka mea hewa,
7 The naked they cause 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 violently away From the breast the orphan, And on the poor they lay a pledge.
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 Between their walls they make oil, Wine-presses they have trodden, and thirst.
Kaomi lakou i ka aila mawaena o ko lakou meu papohaku, Hahi lakou i na wahi kaomi waina, a makewai lakou.
12 Because of enmity men do groan, And the soul of pierced ones doth cry, And God doth 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 among rebellious ones of light, They have not discerned His ways, Nor abode 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 At the light doth the murderer rise, He doth slay 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 Hath observed the twilight, Saying, 'No eye doth behold me.' And he putteth 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 hath 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] to them death shade, When he discerneth 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 Light he [is] on the face of the waters, Vilified is their portion in the earth, He turneth not 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 Forget him doth the womb, Sweeten [on] him doth the worm, No more is he remembered, And broken as a tree is wickedness.
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] beareth not, And [to] the widow he doth no good,
Hookaumaha oia i ka mea pa hanau ole, Aole ia i hana maikai aku i ka wahinekanemake,
22 And hath drawn the mighty by his power, He riseth, and none believeth 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 giveth 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 High they were [for] a little, and they are not, And they have been brought low. As all [others] they are shut up, And as the head of an ear of corn cut off.
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 doth prove me a liar, And doth make of nothing my word?
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?
