< Ioba 10 >

1 U A uluhua ko'u naau i kuu ola ana; E waiho iho au i kuu ulono ana ia'u iho; E olelo aku au maloko o ka ehaeha o kuu naau.
Weary in my soul, I will pour my words with groans upon him: I will speak being straitened in the bitterness of my soul.
2 E i aku au i ke Akua, Mai hoohewa mai oe ia'u; E hoike mai oe i ka mea au e hakaka mai nei me au.
And I will say to the Lord, Do not teach me to be impious; and wherefore hast thou thus judged me?
3 He mea maikai anei ia oe, e hookaumaha, A e hoowahawaha i ka hana a kou lima, A e hoomalamalama ae maluna o ka manao o ka poe hewa?
Is it good before thee if I be unrighteous? for thou hast disowned the work of thy hands, and attended to the counsel of the ungodly.
4 O ko ke kino mau maka anei kou? Ua ike anei oe e like me ka ike ana a ke kanaka?
Or dost thou see as a mortal sees? or wilt thou look as a man sees?
5 Ua like anei kou mau la me na la o ke kanaka? Ua like anei kou mau makahiki me na la o ke kanaka,
Or is thy life human, or thy years [the years] of a man,
6 I ninau mai ai oe i kuu hala, A imi mai ai hoi i ko'u hewa?
that thou hast enquired into mine iniquity, and searched out my sins?
7 Ma kou ike aohe o'u hewa; Aohe mea nana e hoopakele mai kou lima aku.
For thou knowest that I have not committed iniquity: but who is he that can deliver out of thy hands?
8 Ua hana kou mau lima ia'u, A ua hoopaa mai oe ia'u a puni; Aka, ke luku mai nei oe ia'u.
Thy hands have formed me and made me; afterwards thou didst change [thy mind], and smite me.
9 Ke noi aku nei au ia oe e hoomanao, Ua hana mai oe ia'u, e like me ka lepo; A e hoihoi anei oe ia'u i ka lepo?
Remember that thou hast made me [as] clay, and thou dost turn me again to earth.
10 Aole anei oe i ninini iho ia'u me he waiu la, A i hoopaakiki mai hoi ia'u, me he waiupaa la?
Hast thou not poured me out like milk, and curdled me like cheese?
11 Ua uhi mai oe ia'u i ka ili a me ka io, A ua hoopaa mai oe ia'u i na iwi a me na olona.
And thou didst clothe me with skin and flesh, and frame me with bones and sinews.
12 Ua hana mai oe iloko i ke ola a me ka pomaikai, A ua malama mai kou kiai ana i kuu uhane.
And thou didst bestow upon me life and mercy, and thy oversight has preserved my spirit.
13 O keia mau mea kau i huna'i iloko o kou naau: Ua ike no wau, aia no me oe keia mea.
Having these things in thyself, I know that thou canst do all things; for nothing is impossible with thee.
14 Ina e hana hewa au, alaila hoomanao mai no oe ia'u, Aole oe e kela mai ia'u, mai ko'u hewa aku.
And if I should sin, thou watchest me; and thou hast not cleared me from iniquity.
15 Ina ua hewa au, auwe hoi wau; Ina ua pono au, aole wau e hookiekie i ko'u poo. Ua piha au i ka hilahila; A ua ike au i kuu poino;
Or if I should be ungodly, woe is me: and if I should be righteous, I cannot lift myself up, for I am full of dishonour.
16 Ina e hookiekieia auanei ia, Ke hoohalua nei oe ia'u, me he liona la: A hoike hou mai oe ia oe iho he mana maluna o'u.
For I am hunted like a lion for slaughter; for again thou hast changed and art terribly destroying me;
17 Ke hoala hou nei oe i kou mau hoike ku e ia'u, A ke hoonui nei i kou inaina ia'u; A ke hoomahuahua mau nei na puali kaua ia'u.
renewing against me my torture: and thou hast dealt with me in great anger, and thou hast brought trials upon me.
18 No ke aha la hoi oe i lawe mai ai ia'u, mai ka opu mai: Ina ua make au ilaila, A ua ike ole ka maka ia'u!
Why then didst thou bring me out of the womb? and why did I not die, and no eye see me,
19 Ina ua like au me he mea ola ole la, Ina ua laweia'ku au mai ka opu aku, a ka luakupapau.
and I become as if I had not been? for why was I not carried from the womb to the grave?
20 Aole anei he uuku ko'u mau la? U'oki pela, a e waiho ia'u, i oluolu iki iho ai au,
Is not the time of my life short? suffer me to rest a little,
21 Mamua o kuu hele ana'ku i kahi aole au e hoi hou mai, I ka aina pouli, a me ka malu make;
before I go whence I shall not return, to a land of darkness and gloominess;
22 He aina poeleele e like me ka pouli; He malu make, aohe mea i hooponoponoia, A o ka malamalama, ua like ia me ka pouli.
to a land of perpetual darkness, where there is no light, neither [can any one] see the life of mortals.
