Ioba 24
1 NO ka mea, aole i hoonaloia na manawa mai ka Mea mana aku, No ke aha la aole ka poe ike ia ia e noonoo i kona mau la?
Howe should not the times be hid from the Almightie, seeing that they which knowe him, see not his dayes?
2 Hoonee aku lakou i na palena aina, A lawe wale aku lakou i ka poe hipa, a hanai aku ia lakou.
Some remoue the land marks, that rob the flockes and feede thereof.
3 Alakai aku lakou i ka hokikane o ka poe makua ole; A lawe lakou i ka bipi a ka wahinekanemake i uku panai.
They leade away the asse of the fatherles: and take the widowes oxe to pledge.
4 Ua kipaku lakou i ka poe nele mai ke ala aku; Pee pu aku la na ilihune o ka honua.
They make the poore to turne out of the way, so that the poore of the earth hide themselues together.
5 Aia hoi, me na hoki hihiu ma ka waonahele, hele aku lakou i ka lakou hana; E imi ana i ka mea pio; O ka waonahele oia ka ai na lakou, a na ka lakou poe keiki.
Behold, others as wilde asses in the wildernesse, goe forth to their businesse, and rise early for a praye: the wildernesse giueth him and his children foode.
6 Ma ka mahinaai, oki kela mea keia mea i kana ai; A hoiliili lakou ma ka pawaina o ka mea hewa,
They reape his prouision in the fielde, but they gather the late vintage of the wicked.
7 Waiho lakou i ka poe olohelohe i moe lakou me ka kapa ole, Aohe mea uhi iloko o ke anu.
They cause the naked to lodge without garment, and without couering in the colde.
8 Ua pulu lakou i ka ua nui o oa mauna, A no ka hale ole, ua pili lakou i ka pohaku.
They are wet with the showres of the moutaines, and they imbrace the rocke for want of a couering.
9 Kaili lakou i ka mea makua ole mai ka u aku, A lawe lakou i ka aahu o ka ilihune i uku panei
They plucke the fatherles from the breast, and take the pledge of the poore.
10 Hoohele lakou i ka mea olohelohe me ke kapa ole, A lawe aku lakou i ka poa palaoa mai ka pololi;
They cause him to go naked without clothing, and take the glening from the hungrie.
11 Kaomi lakou i ka aila mawaena o ko lakou meu papohaku, Hahi lakou i na wahi kaomi waina, a makewai lakou.
They that make oyle betweene their walles, and treade their wine presses, suffer thirst.
12 Kunukunu na kanaka mai ke kulanakauhale aku, A o ka naau i houia ke kahea aku; Aole ke Akua i manao mai i ka mea lapuwale,
Men cry out of the citie, and the soules of the slayne cry out: yet God doth not charge them with follie.
13 O lakou ka poe e kipi ana i ka malamalama, Aole lakou i ike i kona mau kuamoo, Aole lakou i nobo ma kona mau alanui.
These are they, that abhorre the light: they know not the wayes thereof, nor continue in the paths thereof.
14 I ka malamalama ala mai ka pepehi kanaka, A pepehi aku i ka poe ilihune a me ka poe nele, A i ka po ua like ia me ka aihue.
The murtherer riseth earely and killeth the poore and the needie: and in the night he is as a theefe.
15 Ke kali ae la ka make o ka mea moe kolohe i ke ahiahi poeleele, I iho la, Aole e ike mai ka make ia'u; A kau i ka pale ma ka make.
The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, and sayth, None eye shall see me, and disguiseth his face.
16 I ka pouli wawahi lakou i na hale, I ke ao hoopaa lakou ia lakou iho iloko: Aole lakou i ike i ka malamalama.
They digge through houses in the darke, which they marked for themselues in the daye: they knowe not the light.
17 No ka mea, o kakahiaka, ua like pu ia no lakou me ka malu make; Ina ikeia, ua kau mai na mea weliweli o ka malu make.
But the morning is euen to them as the shadow of death: if one knowe them, they are in the terrours of the shadowe of death.
18 Ua like lakou me ka mea mama maluna o ka wai; Ua hoinoia ko lakou kuleana ma ka honua; Aole lakou e huli ae ma ke ala o na pawaina,
He is swift vpon the waters: their portion shalbe cursed in the earth: he will not behold the way of the vineyardes.
19 Na ka maloo a me ka wela e hoopau aku i na wai o ka hau; Pela no ka po i ka poe hana hewa. (Sheol h7585)
As the dry ground and heate consume the snowe waters, so shall the graue the sinners. (Sheol h7585)
20 E hoopoina ka opu ia ia; E ai wale ka ilo ia ia; Aole loa e hoomanaoia oia; A e haki ka mea hewa me he laau la.
The pitifull man shall forget him: the worme shall feele his sweetenes: he shalbe no more remembered, and the wicked shalbe broke like a tree.
21 Hookaumaha oia i ka mea pa hanau ole, Aole ia i hana maikai aku i ka wahinekanemake,
He doth euil intreat ye barren, that doeth not beare, neither doeth he good to the widowe.
22 Lawe aku no ia i ka poe alii ma kona ikaika; A ka mai oia, aohe malu ke ola o kekahi.
He draweth also the mighty by his power, and when he riseth vp, none is sure of life.
23 Ina e haawiia none e maluhia, a e hilinai; Aka, o kona mau make aia maluna o ko lakou mau aoao.
Though men giue him assurance to be in safetie, yet his eyes are vpon their wayes.
24 Ua hookiekieia lakou i ka wa pokole, Aka, oa ole lakou, a ua hoonalowaleia lakou; E like me na mea a pau, ua hoiia lakou, Ua okiia lakou e like me na piko huhui palaoa.
They are exalted for a litle, but they are gone, and are brought lowe as all others: they are destroyed, and cut off as the toppe of an eare of corne.
25 Ina i ole pela ano, Owai la ka mea e hoike mai, he hoopunipuni ka'u, A e hoolilo i ka'u olelo i mea ole?
But if it be not so, where is he? or who wil proue me a lyer, and make my words of no value?
