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 leave my complaint upon 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 unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with 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 unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon 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 seest thou 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? [are] thy years as man’s days,
6 I ninau mai ai oe i kuu hala, A imi mai ai hoi i ko'u hewa?
That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?
7 Ma kou ike aohe o'u hewa; Aohe mea nana e hoopakele mai kou lima aku.
Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and [there is] none that can deliver out of thine 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.
Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy 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, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou 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 poured me out 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, and hast fenced 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.
Thou hast granted me life and favour, 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.
And these [things] hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this [is] 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.
If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine 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;
If I be wicked, woe unto me; and [if] I be righteous, [yet] will I not lift up my head. [I am] full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;
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 it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon 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.
Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war [are] 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!
Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen 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 though I had not been; I should have 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,
[Are] not my days few? cease [then, and] let me alone, that I may take comfort 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, [even] to the land of darkness and the shadow 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 darkness, as darkness [itself; and] of the shadow of death, without any order, and [where] the light [is] as darkness.
