Ioba 19
1 A LAILA olelo mai o Ioba, i mai la,
Then Job answered,
2 Pehea la ka loihi e hoeha mai ai oukou i kuu uhane, A e haihai mai ia'u ma na olelo?
“How long will you torment me, and crush me with words?
3 Eia ka umi o ka oukou olelo ino mai ia'u; Aole oukou i hilahila, ke hookulikuli oukou ia'u;
You have reproached me ten times. You aren’t ashamed that you attack me.
4 Ina he oiaio, he lalau ko'u, Ke waiho nei me au kuu lalau ana.
If it is true that I have erred, my error remains with myself.
5 Ina he oiaio, e hookiekie oukou e ku e ia'u, A e ao mai ia'u i kuu hoinoia:
If indeed you will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach,
6 E ike oukou ano, ua hookahuli mai ke Akua ia'u, A ua hoopuni mai ia'u i kana upena.
know now that God has subverted me, and has surrounded me with his net.
7 Aia hoi, ke kahea aku nei au no ka hana ino ia, aole au i hooloheia mai; Ke hea nui aku nei an, aohe hooponopono.
“Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard. I cry for help, but there is no justice.
8 Ua alalai mai ia i ko'u ala, aole au e hiki ke hele aku, A ua kau no ia i ka pouli ma kuu mau alanui.
He has walled up my way so that I can’t pass, and has set darkness in my paths.
9 Ua hao mai ia ia'u i kuu nani, Ua lawe hoi i ka leialii mai kuu poo aku.
He has stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
10 Ua luku mai ia ia'u a puni, a ua pau hoi au; A ua uhuki ae ia i kuu manaolana, me he laau la,
He has broken me down on every side, and I am gone. He has plucked my hope up like a tree.
11 Ua hoaa no ia i kona inaina ia'u, A ua manao no ia'u me kona poe enemi.
He has also kindled his wrath against me. He counts me among his adversaries.
12 Hoakoakoaia kona poe koa, A hoouka ae lakou i ko lakou kuamoo ia'u, A hoomoana lakou a puni ko'u halelewa.
His troops come on together, build a siege ramp against me, and encamp around my tent.
13 Ua hoomamao aku ia i ko'u mau hoahanau mai o'u aku la, A o ko'u mau hoalauna, ua hoomaka e lakou ia'u.
“He has put my brothers far from me. My acquaintances are wholly estranged from me.
14 Ua haalele kuu mau hoa pili ia'u, A o kuu poe makamaka, ua hoopoina lakou ia'u.
My relatives have gone away. My familiar friends have forgotten me.
15 O ka poe e noho ana ma kuu hale, a me na kauwawahine a'u, manao mai lakou ia'u he malihini: He kanaka e no wau i ko lakou mau maka.
Those who dwell in my house and my maids consider me a stranger. I am an alien in their sight.
16 Kahea aku au i ka'u kauwa, aole ia e o mai; Nonoi aku au ia ia me kuu waha.
I call to my servant, and he gives me no answer. I beg him with my mouth.
17 Ua ano e kuu hanu i ka'u wahine, A me kuu uwe ana i na keiki o kuu kino.
My breath is offensive to my wife. I am loathsome to the children of my own mother.
18 O na keiki liilii, hoowahawaha lakou ia'u; Ku no wau iluna, a olelo ku e mai lakou ia'u.
Even young children despise me. If I arise, they speak against me.
19 O na hoa kuka o'u a pau, ua hoopailua lakou ia'u; A o ka poe a'u i aloha i, ua huli lakou e ku e ia'u.
All my familiar friends abhor me. They whom I loved have turned against me.
20 Ke pili nei kuu iwi i ko'u ili a me ko'u io, A ua pakele au me ka ili o ko'u mau niho.
My bones stick to my skin and to my flesh. I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
21 E aloha mai ia'u, e aloha mai ia'u, e oukou ko'u poe makamaka; No ka mea, ua hahau mai ka lima o ke Akua ia'u!
“Have pity on me. Have pity on me, you my friends, for the hand of God has touched me.
22 No ko aha la oukou e hahai mai ai ia'u, me he Akua la, Aole hoi oukou i maona i kuu io?
Why do you persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
23 Ina paha ano e kakauia ka'u mau olelo! Ina e palapalaia lakou iloko o ka buke!
“Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
24 Me ka peni hao a me ke kepau, E kahakaha mau ia lakou iloko o ka pohaku!
That with an iron pen and lead they were engraved in the rock forever!
25 No ka mea, ua ike au e ola ana kuu Mea hoola, A i ka wa mahope e ku no ia maluna o ka honua.
But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives. In the end, he will stand upon the earth.
26 A mahope o kuu ili, e hoopau na ilo i keia kino, Aka, ma kuu io e ike aku au i ke Akua.
After my skin is destroyed, then I will see God in my flesh,
27 Oia ka'u e ike aku no'u iho, A e ike ko'u mau maka, aole ko hai; Ua kaniuhu kuu naau iloko o'u.
whom I, even I, will see on my side. My eyes will see, and not as a stranger. “My heart is consumed within me.
28 Aka, e olelo oukou, No ke aha kakou e hoomaau ia ia, No ka mea, ua loaa ko kumu o ka mea iloko o'u?
If you say, ‘How we will persecute him!’ because the root of the matter is found in me,
29 E makau oukou i ka pahikaua; No ka mea, o ka huhu, oia ka hewa no ka pahikaua, I ike oukou, he hoopai ana no.
be afraid of the sword, for wrath brings the punishments of the sword, that you may know there is a judgment.”
