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.
I am weary of my life; I will give free expression to my complaint; 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 merely condemn me; show me why you accuse 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 to you that you should oppress me, to despise the work of your hands while you smile on the plans 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?
Do you have eyes of flesh? Do you see like 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,
Are your days like the days of mankind or your years like the years of people,
6 I ninau mai ai oe i kuu hala, A imi mai ai hoi i ko'u hewa?
that you 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.
although you know I am not guilty and there is no one who can rescue me from your 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.
Your hands have framed and fashioned me together round about, yet you are destroying 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?
Call to mind, I beg you, that you have fashioned me like clay; will you 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?
Have you 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.
You have clothed me with skin and flesh and knit 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.
You have granted me life and covenant faithfulness; your help has guarded 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.
Yet these things you hid in your heart— I know that this is what you were thinking:
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.
that if I sinned, you would notice it; you would not acquit me of 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;
If I have acted wickedly, woe to me; and even if I acted righteously, I could not lift up my head, since I am filled with disgrace— see my 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.
If my head were lifted up, you would stalk me like a lion; and again you would show yourself with marvellous acts of power against 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.
You bring new witnesses against me and increase your anger against me; you attack me with fresh armies.
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, have you brought me out of the womb? I wish I had given up my spirit and that no eye had ever 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 would have been as though I had never existed; I would 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 only a few? Stop then, let me alone, so that I may have a little rest
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 from where I will not return, to the land of darkness and of 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.
the land that is as dark as midnight, the land of the shadow of death, without any order, where the light is like midnight.'”
