1Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
1A LAILA pane mai la o Elipaza no Temana, i mai la,
2“If one ventures a word with you, will you be wearied? Yet who can keep from speaking?
2A i hoao makou e kamailio pu me oe, e uluhua anei oe? Aka, owai la ka mea hiki ke uumi i ka olelo?
3Surely you have instructed many, and have strengthened their feeble hands.
3Aia hoi; ua ao aku oe i na mea he nui, A ua hooikaika oe i na lima nawaliwali.
4Your words have steadied those who stumbled; you have braced the knees that were buckling.
4Ua kukulu iluna kau olelo i ka mea e hina ana, A ua hookupaa oe i na kuli e hemo ana.
5But now trouble has come upon you, and you are weary. It strikes you, and you are dismayed.
5Ano hoi, ua hiki mai ia maluna ou, a ua maule oe, Ua hoopa mai ia ia oe, a ua popilikia oe.
6Is your reverence not your confidence, and the uprightness of your ways your hope?
6Aole anei keia kou makau, a me kou manaolana, O kou mea i kuko ai, a me ka pololei o kou mau aoao?
7Consider now, I plead: Who, being innocent, has ever perished? Or where have the upright been destroyed?
7Ke noi aku nei au, e hoomanao oe, owai ka mea hala ole i make wale? Auhea hoi ka poe pono i hookiia'ku?
8As I have observed, those who plow iniquity and those who sow trouble reap the same.
8E like me ka'u i ike ai, O na mea i waele ino, a mahi hewa, ohi no lakou ia mea hookahi.
9By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of His anger they are consumed.
9Ma ka ha ana o ke Akua ua make lakou, A ma ka hanu o kona mau puka ihu ua hoopauia lakou.
10The lion may roar, and the fierce lion may growl, yet the teeth of the young lions are broken.
10O ka uwo ana o ka liona, o ka leo o ka liona hae, A o na niho o na liona hou, ua haki.
11The old lion perishes for lack of prey, and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.
11O ka liona, ua make ia no ka nele o ka mea pio, A o na keiki o ka liona wahine, ua hele liilii lakou.
12Now a word came to me secretly; my ears caught a whisper of it.
12Ua lawe malu ia mai kekahi olelo ia'u, A ua loaa i kuu pepeiao ka lohe iki o ia mea.
13In disquieting visions in the night, when deep sleep falls on men,
13Iloko o na manao ma na moeuhane i ka po, I ka manawa i pauhia ai na kanaka i ka hiamoe,
14fear and trembling came over me and made all my bones shudder.
14Hiki mai ka makau ia'u a me ka haalulu, A hoohaalulu mai ia i ka nui o ko'u mau iwi.
15Then a spirit glided past my face, and the hair on my body bristled.
15Alaila maale ae la he uhane imua o ko'u maka; Ku iho la iluna ka hulu o ko'u io:
16It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance; a form loomed before my eyes, and I heard a whispering voice:
16Ku malie iho la ia, aole au i ike i kona ano; He kii imua o kou mau maka, He makani uuku, a he leo ka'u i lohe:
17‘Can a mortal be more righteous than God, or a man more pure than his Maker?
17E oi anei ka pono o ke kanaka mamua o ko ke Akua? He oi anei ka maemae o ke kanaka mamua o ka Mea nana ia i hana?
18If God puts no trust in His servants, and He charges His angels with error,
18Aia hoi, aole ia i hilinai i kana poe kauwa, A hooili no ia i ka hewa maluna o kona poe anela:
19how much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundations are in the dust, who can be crushed like a moth!
19Heaha la hoi ka poe e noho ana i na hale lepo, Ha ka lepo ko lakou hookumu ana, ua ulupaia lakou imua o ka mu?
20They are smashed to pieces from dawn to dusk; unnoticed, they perish forever.
20Ua lukuia lakou mai kakahiaka a ke ahiahi: Ua make loa lakou, aohe mea nana i manao.
21Are not their tent cords pulled up, so that they die without wisdom?’
21Aole anei e nalo wale aku ko lakou maikai ana? Make no lakou me ka naauao ole.
