Ioba 11
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1A LAILA olelo aku la o Zopara ka Naamata, i aku la,
1Then Zophar the Naamathite replied:
2Aole anei e pono ke pane aku i na huaolelo he nui la? E hoaponoia anei ke kanaka lehelehe wale?
2“Should this stream of words go unanswered and such a speaker be vindicated?
3E paa anei ka waha o kanaka i kou kaena wale ana? A hoomaewaewa mai oe, aole anei he mea nana oe e hoohilahila aku?
3Should your babbling put others to silence? Will you scoff without rebuke?
4A ua olelo mai oe, he maemae kuu olelo, A ua hala ole au i kou mau maka.
4You have said, ‘My doctrine is sound, and I am pure in Your sight.’
5Ina paha e olelo mai ke Akua, A e wehe ae i kona lehelehe ia oe;
5But if only God would speak and open His lips against you,
6A e hoike mai oia ia oe i na mea huna o ka naauao, Ua papalua ka maiau! Alaila e ike auanei oe, E hoopoina mai no ke Akua i na hewa ou.
6and disclose to you the secrets of wisdom, for true wisdom has two sides. Know then that God exacts from you less than your iniquity deserves.
7E loaa anei ia oe ka ke Akua mau mea hohonu? E loaa pololei loa anei ia oe ka Mea mana?
7Can you fathom the deep things of God or discover the limits of the Almighty?
8Ua kiekie ia e like me ka lani; heaha kau e hana ai? Ua oi kona hohonu i ko ka po; heaha kau e ike ai?
8They are higher than the heavens—what can you do? They are deeper than Sheol—what can you know?
9Ua oi kona loa mamua o ko ka honua, A o ka laula imua o ko ke kai.
9Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea.
10Ina e hopu mai ia, a hoopaa iho, a hookolokolo, Alaila owai la ka mea e keakea ia ia?
10If He comes along to imprison you, or convenes a court, who can stop Him?
11No ka mea, ua ike no ia i ka poe hewa, Ua nana mai hoi ia i ka hala; Aole anei ia e ike mai?
11Surely He knows the deceit of men. If He sees iniquity, does He not take note?
12E ake ke kanaka naaupo i akamai, O ke kanaka i hanau nae me he keiki la a ka hoki hihiu.
12But a witless man can no more become wise than the colt of a wild donkey can be born a man!
13Ina e hoomakaukau oe i kou naau, A e kikoo aku i kou mau lima io na la;
13As for you, if you direct your heart and lift up your hands to Him,
14Ina he hewa iloko o kou lima, e hoolei loa aku ia; A mai ae e noho ka hewa ma kou mau halelewa.
14if you put away the iniquity in your hand, and allow no injustice to dwell in your tents,
15Alaila e hoala ae oe i kou maka me ke kina ole; A e ku paa no oe, aole hoi e makau:
15then indeed you will lift up your face without shame; you will stand firm and unafraid.
16No ka mea, e hoopoina no oe i ka ehaeha, A e hoomanao ia mea, e like me ka wai i kahe aku:
16For you will forget your misery, recalling it only as waters gone by.
17A e kupaa kou ola loa ana, e like me ke awakea; Ano ua pouli oe, alaila e like no oe me ke kakahiaka.
17Your life will be brighter than noonday; its darkness will be like the morning.
18A e maluhia oe, no ka mea, he mea no e laua ai ka manao; Ano ua poho ka manao, aka, alaila, e noho maluhia oe.
18You will be secure, because there is hope, and you will look around and lie down in safety.
19A e moe iho oe ilalo, aohe mea nana oe e hoomakau mai; A nui na mea e hoalohaloha imua ou.
19You will lie down without fear, and many will court your favor.
20Aka, e pio na maka o ka poe hewa, A ua nele lakou i ka puuhonua, A o ko lakou manaolana, o ke kuu ana no ia o ka uhane.
20But the eyes of the wicked will fail, and escape will elude them; they will hope for their last breath.”
