Ioba 1
1 HE kanaka ma ka aina o Uza, o Ioba kona inoa, ua pono, ua pololei hoi ua kanaka la, a ua makau no ia i ke Akua, a hoopale i ka hewa.
In the land of Uz lived a man whose name was Job. He was an upright and good man, fearing God and departing from evil.
2 Ua hanauia nana ehiku mau keikikane, a me na kaikamahine ekolu.
He had seven sons and three daughters.
3 O kana waiwai, ehiku tausani hipa me na kao, ekolu tausani kamelo, elima haneri bipikaulua a elima haneri hoki wahine, a he nui loa kona poe ohua; nolaila, ua oi aku ke koikoi o keia kanaka mamua o na kanaka a pau o ka hikina.
His substance was seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred she-asses, and a great number of servants; so that he was the greatest of all the inhabitants of the East.
4 A hele aku la kana mau keikikane, a ahaaina iho la ma ka hale, o kela mea keia mea o lakou i kona la; a hoouna aku la, a hea aku i ko lakou mau kaikuwahine ekolu, e ai pu a e inu pu me lakou.
Now it was the custom of his sons to make a feast in their houses, each on his day, and to send and invite their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
5 A i ka manawa i hala ae ai na la o ka ahaaina ana, hoouna aku la o Ioba a hoomaemae ia lakou, a ala ae la i kakahiaka nui, a kaumaha aku la i na mohaikuni e like me ka nui o lakou a pau; no ka mea, i iho la o Ioba, Malia paha ua hana hewa ka'u mau keikikane, a ua olelo hoino i ke Akua ma ko lakou naau. Pela o Ioba i hana'i i na la a Pau.
And when the days of their feasting had gone round, Job used to send for them and sanctify them, and to rise up early in the morning and offer burnt-offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and have renounced God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
6 A i kekahi la, i ka manawa i hele ai na keiki a ke Akua e hoike aku ia lakou iho imua o Iehova, i hele mai hoi o Satana iwaena o lakou.
Now on a certain day the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, and Satan also came among them.
7 A i mai la o Iehova ia Satana, Nohea oe i hele mai nei? olelo aku la o Satana ia Iehova, Mai ka auwana ana ma ka honua, a mai ka hele ana io ia nei malaila.
And Jehovah said to Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From wandering over the earth, and walking up and down in it.
8 I mai la o Iehova ia Satana, Ua noonoo pono anei oe i ka'u kauwa ia Ioba, aohe mea like me ia ma ka honua, he kanaka pono me ka pololei, ua makau i ke Akua, a ua hookaaokoa i ka hewa.
And Jehovah said to Satan, Hast thou observed my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, an upright and good man, fearing God and departing from evil?
9 Alaila olelo aku la o Satana ia Iehova, i aku la, Ke makau kumu ole la anei o Ioba i ke Akua?
Then Satan answered Jehovah, Is it for nought that Job feareth God?
10 Aole anei oe i hoopuni ia ia, a me kona hale a me kona mea a pau i ka pa ma na aoao a pau? Ua hoopomaikai oe i ka hana a kona mau lima, a mahuahua kona waiwai ma ka aina.
Hast thou not placed a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all his possessions? Thou hast prospered the work of his hands, and his herds are greatly increased in the land.
11 Aka, e kikoo aku ano i kou lima, a hoopa i kana mau mea a pau, a e hoino no kela ia oe imua o kou maka.
But only put forth thy hand, and touch whatever he possesseth, and to thy face will he renounce thee.
12 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Satana, Aia hoi, iloko o kou lima kana mau mea a pau; aka, maluna ona mai kau aku oe i kou lima. A hele aku la o Satana mai ke alo aku o Iehova.
And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; but upon him lay not thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah.
13 A i kekahi la, i ka manawa o kana mau keikikane a me kana mau kaikamahine e ahaaina ana, a e inu waina ana iloko o ka hale o ko lakou hanau mua;
Now on a certain day the sons and daughters of Job were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,
14 Hele mai kekahi elele io Ioba la, i mai la, O na bipikauo e hoopalau ana, a o na hoki wahine e ai ana ma ko lakou aoao;
when a messenger came to Job, and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the asses feeding beside them,
15 A popoi mai la ka poe Seba maluna o lakou, a lawe pio aku la i ia lakou; a pepehi iho la lakou i na kanaka opiopio me ka maka o ka pahikaua; a owau wale no ka i pakele e hai aku ia oe.
and the Sabaeans fell upon them, and took them away; the servants also they slew with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
16 A i kana kamailio ana, hele mai kekahi, i mai la, Ua lele mai ke ahi a ke Akua mai ka lani mai, a ua ai iho i na hipa a me na kahu, a ua hoopau ia lakou; a owau wale no ka i pakele e hai aku ia oe.
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God hath fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
17 A i kana kamailio ana, hele mai kekahi e ae, i mai la, Hoonohonoho iho la ka poe Kaledea i ekolu poe kaua, a lele mai lakou maluna o na kamelo, a lawe pio aku ia lakou, a pepehi iho la i na kauwa opiopio me ka maka o ka pahikaua; a owau wale no ka i pakele e hai aku ia oe.
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldaeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and carried them away; the servants also they slew with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
18 I kana kamailio ana, hele mai kekahi e ae, i mai la, O kau mau keikikane, a me kau mau kaikamahine, e ai ana a e inu waina ana iloko o ka hale o ko lakou hanau mua:
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house;
19 Aia hoi, hiki mai la ka makani ikaika mai ka aoao o ka waonahele mai, a nou mai ma na kihi eha o ka hale, a hina iho la ia maluna o na kanaka opiopio, a ua make lakou; a owau wale no ka i pakele e hai aku ia oe.
and, lo! there came a great wind from the desert, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
20 Alaila ku ae la o Ioba, a baehae iho la i kona aahu, a ako i kona poo, a hina ilalo i ka honua, a hoomana aku la,
Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped;
21 I iho la, I hele kohana mai no au mai ka opu mai o ko'u makuwahine, a e hoi kohana aku au ilaila: na Iehova i haawi mai, na Iehova hoi i lawe aku; e hoomaikaiia ka inoa o Iehova.
and said, Naked came I forth from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither. Jehovah gave, and Jehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah!
22 Ma keia mea a pau, aole o Ioba i hana hewa, aole hoi ia i hooili wale aku i ka hewa i ke Akua.
In all this Job sinned not, nor uttered vain words against God.
