Ioba 16
1 A LAILA olelo mai la o Ioba, i mai la,
Bvt Iob answered, and said,
2 He nui na mea like a'u i lohe ai: He poe hooluolu hoopilikia oukou a pau.
I haue oft times heard such things: miserable comforters are ye all.
3 He hope anei no na huaolelo makani? Heaha ka mea hoala mai nei ia oe, i olelo mai ai oe?
Shall there be none ende of wordes of winde? or what maketh thee bold so to answere?
4 E hiki no ia'u ke olelo aku e like me ka oukou; Ina paha ua noho oukou ma ko'u wahi. E hiki no ia'u ke hookui i ka olelo ku e ia oukou; A e hooluliluli aku i ko'u poo ia oukou.
I could also speake as yee doe: (but woulde God your soule were in my soules stead) I could keepe you company in speaking, and could shake mine head at you,
5 Aka, e hookupaa no au ia oukou me kuu waha, A o ka hooluolu ana o kuu lehelehe, e hoopaa aku no ia.
But I woulde strengthen you with my mouth, and the comfort of my lips should asswage your sorowe.
6 Ina e olelo aku au, aole e oluolu kuu eha; Ina e noho malie hoi au, pehea ia e haalele ai ia'u?
Though I speake, my sorow can not be asswaged: though I cease, what release haue I?
7 Aka, ano ua hooluhi mai ia ia'u; Ua luku mai oe i ko'u ohana a pau.
But now hee maketh mee wearie: O God, thou hast made all my congregation desolate,
8 Ua hoopaa mai oe ia'u, i mea hoike; O kuu wiwi, ke ku mai no ia ia'u, A e hoike mai imua o kuu maka.
And hast made me full of wrinkles which is a witnesse thereof, and my leannes ryseth vp in me, testifying the same in my face.
9 Ke haehae mai nei kona huhu, a ua inaina mai ia ia'u; Ke nau mai nei ia ia'u me kona mau niho; O kuu enemi, ke hookala nei ia i kona mau maka maluna o'u.
His wrath hath torne me, and hee hateth me, and gnasheth vpon mee with his teeth: mine enemie hath sharpened his eyes against me.
10 Ua hamama lakou maluna o'u me ko lakou waha; Ua papai lakou ia'u ma ka papalina me ka hoino: Ua hoakoakoaia lakou ma kahi hookahi e ku e ia'u.
They haue opened their mouthes vpon me, and smitten me on the cheeke in reproch; they gather themselues together against me.
11 Ua hoolilo ke Akua ia'u i ka poe hewa, A ua haawi ia'u iloko o ka lima o ka poe aia.
God hath deliuered me to the vniust, and hath made mee to turne out of the way by the hands of the wicked.
12 I noho maluhia la no wan, aka, ua ulupa mai nei ia ia'u; Ua lalau mai ia ma kuu a-i, a ulupa mai no ia ia'u, Ua hooku mai ia'u i hoailona nona.
I was in welth, but he hath brought me to nought: he hath taken me by the necke, and beaten me, and set me as a marke for himselfe.
13 Ua hoopuni kona poe panapua ia'u, Ua wahi mai ia i na puupaa o'u, aole e hookuu ae; Ua ninini iho ia i kuu au ma ka honua.
His archers compasse mee rounde about: he cutteth my reines, and doth not spare, and powreth my gall vpon the ground.
14 Ua wawahi roai ia ia'u, me ka wahi ana mahope o ka wahi ana, Ua lele mai ia maluna o'u me he mea ikaika la.
He hath broken me with one breaking vpon another, and runneth vpon me like a gyant.
15 Ua humuhumu au i ke kapa ino maluna o kuu ili, Ua hoohaumia au i kuu pepeiaohao iloko o ka lepo.
I haue sowed a sackcloth vpon my skinne, and haue abased mine horne vnto the dust.
16 Ua ulaula kuu maka i ka uwe ana, A maluna o ko'u mau lihilihi maka ke aka o ka make.
My face is withered with weeping, and the shadow of death is vpon mine eyes,
17 Aole no ka mea pono ole iloko o ko'u lima; A o ka'u pule, ua maemae hoi ia.
Though there be no wickednesse in mine hands, and my prayer be pure.
18 E ka honua, mai uhi oe i ko'u koko, Aole hoi e haawi i wahi no kuu uwe ana.
O earth, couer not thou my blood, and let my crying finde no place.
19 Ano hoi, aia ma ka lani kuu mea ike maka, A o kuu mea hoike ma na wahi kiekie.
For lo, now my witnesse is in the heauen, and my record is on hie.
20 O kuu poe hoino, o ko'u mau makamaka no ia: Ke hu aku nei kuu maka i ke Akua.
My friends speake eloquently against me: but mine eye powreth out teares vnto God.
21 Ina he mea e uwao me ke Akua no ke kanaka, E like me ke kanaka no kona hoalauna!
Oh that a man might pleade with God, as man with his neighbour!
22 A hala he hapa na makahiki, Alaila e hele aku au i ke ala aole au e hoi hou mai.
For the yeeres accounted come, and I shall go the way, whence I shall not returne.
