1And Eliphaz the Themanite, answered, and said:
1A LAILA olelo aku o Elipaza, no Temana, i mai la,
2Will a wise man answer as if he were speaking in the wind, and fill his stomach with burning heat?
2E hai aku anei ka mea naauao i ka manao makani? A e hoopiha i kona opu i ka makani hikina?
3Thou reprovest him by words, who is not equal to thee, and thou speakest that which is not good for thee.
3E ao aku anei ia me ka olelo pono ole? A me na olelo kokua ole mai?
4As much as is in thee, thou hast made void fear, and hast taken away prayers from before God.
4Aka, ua hoole oe i ka makau, A ua hooemi iho oe i ka pule imua o ke Akua,
5For thy iniquity hath taught thy mouth, and thou imitatest the tongue of blasphemers.
5No ka mea, ke ao nei kou waha i kou hewa, A ke koho nei oe i ke alelo o ka poe maalea.
6Thy own mouth shall condemn thee, and not I: and thy own lips shall answer thee.
6Ke hoohewa nei kou waha ia oe, aole owau; A ke hoike nei kou lehelehe ia oe.
7Art thou the first man that was born, or wast thou made before the hills?
7O oe anei ke kanaka makamua i hanau ai? Ua hanauia anei oe mamua o na puu?
8Hast thou heard God’s counsel, and shall his wisdom be inferior to thee?
8Ua lohe anei oe ma ka ahaolelo a ke Akua? A ke hoopaa nei anei oe i ka naauao ia oe iho?
9What knowest thou that we are ignorant of? what dost thou understand that we know not?
9Heaha kau e ike nei, a ike ole makou ia? Heaha ka mea maopopo ia oe, aole hoi maloko o makou ia?
10There are with us also aged and ancient men, much elder than thy fathers.
10Me makou ke poohina a me ka mea kahiko, Ua oi aku ko lakou mau la mamua o ko kou makuakane.
11Is it a great matter that God should comfort thee? but thy wicked words hinder this.
11He mea uuku anei ia oe na hooluolu o ke Akua? He mea huna anei kekahi ia oe?
12Why doth thy heart elevate thee, and why dost thou stare with thy eyes, as if they were thinking great things?
12No ke aha la e lawe aku nei kou naau ia oe? A i ke aha hoi kou mau maka e imoimo mai nei,
13Why doth thy spirit swell against God, to utter such words out of thy mouth?
13I hoohuli ae ai oe i kou naau e ku e i ke Akua, A e hoopuka ae ia mau huaolelo mai kou waha mai?
14What is man that he should be without spot, and he that is born of a woman that he should appear just?
14Heaha ke kanaka, i maemae ai oia? A o ka mea i hanauia e ka wahine, i pono ai oia?
15Behold among his saints none is unchangeable, and the heavens are not pure in his sight.
15Aia hoi, aole ia e hilinai i kona poe hemolele; Aole hoi i maemae na lani i kona mau maka.
16How much more is man abominable, and unprofitable, who drinketh iniquity like water?
16He oiaio hoi, ua hoopailuaia, a ua haumia hoi ke kanaka, Ka mea e inu ana i ka hewa me he wai la?
17I will shew thee, hear me: and I will tell thee what I have seen.
17E hai aku au ia oe, o hoolohe mai ia'u; A o ka mea a'u i ike ai, oia ka'u e hoike aku ana;
18Wise men confess and hide not their fathers.
18Ka mea a ka poe naauao i hai mai, Aole hoi i huna, mai ko lakou poe makua mai:
19To whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger hath passed among them.
19No lakou wale no i haawiia ka honua, Aole i hele ka malihini iwaena o lakou.
20The wicked man is proud all his days, and the number of the years of his tyranny is uncertain.
20I na la a pau, ua ehaeha ke kanaka hewa, A o ka huina o na makahiki, ua hunaia i ka mea hookaumaha.
21The sound of dread is always in his ears: and when there is peace, he always suspecteth treason.
21He leo hooweliweli maloko o kona pepeiao; Iloko ia o ka pomaikai, A e hele mai ka mea luku maluna ona.
22He believeth not that he may return from darkness to light, looking round about for the sword on every side.
22Aole ona manao e hoi hou mai, mailoko mai o ka pouli, A ua kakali oia i ka pahikaua.
23When he moveth himself to seek bread, he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
23E auwana no ia i ka imi ai, Auhea ia? A ke ike nei no ia, ua makaukau ka la o ka pouli, ua kokoke.
24Tribulation shall terrify him, and distress shall surround him, as a king that is prepared for the battle.
24E hoomakau ke kaumaha, a me ka popilikia ia ia; E lanakila laua maluna ona, me he alii la i makaukau no ke kaua.
25For he hath stretched out his hand against God, and hath strengthened himself against the Almighty.
25No ka mea, ua o ku e aku ia i kona lima i ke Akua, Ua hookiekie aku ia ia iho i ka Mea mana.
26He hath run against him with his neck raised up, and is armed with a fat neck.
26Wahi aku no ia maluna ona me ka a-i aa, Me ka manoa o na niho o kaua palekaua:
27Fatness hath covered his face, and the fat hangeth down on his sides.
27No ka mea, ua hoouhi oia i kona maka me ka momona, A kau no ia i ka momona maluna o na puupaa.
28He hath dwelt in desolate cities, and in desert houses that are reduced into heaps.
28A noho iho no ia i na kulanakauhale neoneo, Iloko o na hale, aohe mea noho ilaila, Na mea i makaukau e lilo i mau puu.
29He shall not be enriched, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he push his root in the earth.
29Aole e hoolakoia oia, Aole hoi e mau kana waiwai, Aole hoi e hoopalahalaha i ka lakou loaa ma ka honua,
30He shall not depart out of darkness: the flame shall dry up his branches, and he shall be taken away by the breath of his own month.
30Aole ia e pakele mailoko mai o ka pouli; E hoomaloo ka lapalapa i kona mau lala, A e laweia'ku oia ma ka ha o kona waha.
31He shall not believe, being vainly deceived by error, that he may be redeemed with any price.
31O ka mea i puni, mai hilinai oia i ka mea lapuwale: No ka mea, e lilo ka lapuwale i uku nona.
32Before his days be full he shall perish: and his hands shall wither away.
32Mamua o kona manawa, e okiia'ku ia, Aole e uliuli kona lala.
33He shall be blasted as a vine when its grapes are in the first flower, and as an olive tree that casteth its flower.
33E like me ke kumu waina, e hoohelelei ia i kona huawaina pala ole, A e like me ka laau oliva, e hoohaule ia i kona pua.
34For the congregation of the hypocrite is barren, and fire shall devour their tabernacles, who love to take bribes.
34No ka mea, e hua ole ka ohana a ka aia, A e hoopau ke ahi i na halelewa a ke kipe.
35He hath conceived sorrow, and hath brought forth iniquity, and his womb prepareth deceits.
35Hapai lakou, he kolohe, a hanau mai, he hewa; A noonoo ko lakou opu i ka wahahee.
