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.
My soul is weary of my life, I will let go my speech against myself, I will speak 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.
I will say to God: Do not condemn me: tell me why thou judgest me so.
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?
Doth it seem good to thee that thou shouldst calumniate me, and oppress me, the work of thy own hands, and help the counsel of the wicked?
4 O ko ke kino mau maka anei kou? Ua ike anei oe e like me ka ike ana a ke kanaka?
Hast thou eyes of flesh: or, shalt thou see as man seeth?
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,
Are thy days as the days of man, and are thy years as the times of men:
6 I ninau mai ai oe i kuu hala, A imi mai ai hoi i ko'u hewa?
That thou shouldst inquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin?
7 Ma kou ike aohe o'u hewa; Aohe mea nana e hoopakele mai kou lima aku.
And shouldst know that I have done no wicked thing, whereas there is no man that can deliver out of thy hand.
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 made me, and fashioned me wholly round about, and dost thou thus cast me down headlong on a sudden?
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, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay, and thou wilt bring me into dust again.
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 milked me as 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.
Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh: thou hast put me together 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.
Thou hast granted me life and mercy, and thy visitation hath 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.
Although thou conceal these things in thy heart, yet I know that thou rememberest all things.
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.
If I have sinned and thou hast spared me for an hour: why dost thou not suffer me to be clean from my 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;
And if I be wicked, woe unto me: and if just, I shall not lift up my head, being filled with affliction and misery.
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.
And for pride thou wilt take me as a lioness, and returning thou tormentest me wonderfully.
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.
Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and multipliest thy wrath upon me, and pains war against 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 didst thou bring me forth out of the womb: O that I had been consumed that eye might not 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.
I should have been as if I had not been, 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,
Shall not the fewness of my days be ended shortly? suffer me, therefore, that I may lament my sorrow 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, and return no more, to a land that is dark and covered with the mist of death:
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.
A land of misery and darkness, where the shadow of death, and no order, but everlasting horror dwelleth.
