Ioba 11
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
World English Bible
1A LAILA olelo aku la o Zopara ka Naamata, i aku la,
1Then Zophar, the Naamathite, answered,
2Aole anei e pono ke pane aku i na huaolelo he nui la? E hoaponoia anei ke kanaka lehelehe wale?
2“Shouldn’t the multitude of words be answered? Should a man full of talk be justified?
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 boastings make men hold their peace? When you mock, will no man make you ashamed?
4A ua olelo mai oe, he maemae kuu olelo, A ua hala ole au i kou mau maka.
4For you say, ‘My doctrine is pure. I am clean in your eyes.’
5Ina paha e olelo mai ke Akua, A e wehe ae i kona lehelehe ia oe;
5But oh that 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.
6that he would show you the secrets of wisdom! For true wisdom has two sides. Know therefore that God exacts of 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?
7“Can you fathom the mystery of God? Or can you probe 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 high as heaven. 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.
9Its measure is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
10Ina e hopu mai ia, a hoopaa iho, a hookolokolo, Alaila owai la ka mea e keakea ia ia?
10If he passes by, or confines, or convenes a court, then who can oppose 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?
11For he knows false men. He sees iniquity also, even though he doesn’t consider it.
12E ake ke kanaka naaupo i akamai, O ke kanaka i hanau nae me he keiki la a ka hoki hihiu.
12An empty-headed man becomes wise when a man is born as a wild donkey’s colt.
13Ina e hoomakaukau oe i kou naau, A e kikoo aku i kou mau lima io na la;
13“If you set your heart aright, stretch out your hands toward 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 iniquity is in your hand, put it far away. Don’t let unrighteousness 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:
15Surely then you will lift up your face without spot. Yes, you will be steadfast, and will not fear,
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. You will remember it like waters that have passed away.
17A e kupaa kou ola loa ana, e like me ke awakea; Ano ua pouli oe, alaila e like no oe me ke kakahiaka.
17Life will be clearer than the noonday. Though there is darkness, it will be as 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. Yes, you will search, and will take your rest in safety.
19A e moe iho oe ilalo, aohe mea nana oe e hoomakau mai; A nui na mea e hoalohaloha imua ou.
19Also you will lie down, and no one will make you afraid. Yes, 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. They will have no way to flee. Their hope will be the giving up of the spirit.”
