Ioba 15
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1A LAILA olelo aku o Elipaza, no Temana, i mai la,
1Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
2E hai aku anei ka mea naauao i ka manao makani? A e hoopiha i kona opu i ka makani hikina?
2“Does a wise man answer with empty counsel or fill his belly with the hot east wind?
3E ao aku anei ia me ka olelo pono ole? A me na olelo kokua ole mai?
3Should he argue with useless words or speeches that serve no purpose?
4Aka, ua hoole oe i ka makau, A ua hooemi iho oe i ka pule imua o ke Akua,
4But you even undermine the fear of God and hinder meditation before Him.
5No ka mea, ke ao nei kou waha i kou hewa, A ke koho nei oe i ke alelo o ka poe maalea.
5For your iniquity instructs your mouth, and you choose the language of the crafty.
6Ke hoohewa nei kou waha ia oe, aole owau; A ke hoike nei kou lehelehe ia oe.
6Your own mouth, not mine, condemns you; your own lips testify against you.
7O oe anei ke kanaka makamua i hanau ai? Ua hanauia anei oe mamua o na puu?
7Were you the first man ever born? Were you brought forth before the hills?
8Ua lohe anei oe ma ka ahaolelo a ke Akua? A ke hoopaa nei anei oe i ka naauao ia oe iho?
8Do you listen in on the council of God or limit wisdom to yourself?
9Heaha kau e ike nei, a ike ole makou ia? Heaha ka mea maopopo ia oe, aole hoi maloko o makou ia?
9What do you know that we do not? What do you understand that is not clear to us?
10Me makou ke poohina a me ka mea kahiko, Ua oi aku ko lakou mau la mamua o ko kou makuakane.
10Both the gray-haired and the aged are on our side— men much older than your father.
11He mea uuku anei ia oe na hooluolu o ke Akua? He mea huna anei kekahi ia oe?
11Are the consolations of God not enough for you, even words spoken gently to you?
12No ke aha la e lawe aku nei kou naau ia oe? A i ke aha hoi kou mau maka e imoimo mai nei,
12Why has your heart carried you away, and why do your eyes flash,
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?
13as you turn your spirit against God and pour such words from your mouth?
14Heaha ke kanaka, i maemae ai oia? A o ka mea i hanauia e ka wahine, i pono ai oia?
14What is man, that he should be pure, or one born of woman, that he should be righteous?
15Aia hoi, aole ia e hilinai i kona poe hemolele; Aole hoi i maemae na lani i kona mau maka.
15If God puts no trust in His holy ones, if even the heavens are not pure in His eyes,
16He oiaio hoi, ua hoopailuaia, a ua haumia hoi ke kanaka, Ka mea e inu ana i ka hewa me he wai la?
16how much less man, who is vile and corrupt, who drinks injustice like water?
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;
17Listen to me and I will inform you. I will describe what I have seen,
18Ka mea a ka poe naauao i hai mai, Aole hoi i huna, mai ko lakou poe makua mai:
18what was declared by wise men and was not concealed from their fathers,
19No lakou wale no i haawiia ka honua, Aole i hele ka malihini iwaena o lakou.
19to whom alone the land was given when no foreigner passed among them.
20I na la a pau, ua ehaeha ke kanaka hewa, A o ka huina o na makahiki, ua hunaia i ka mea hookaumaha.
20A wicked man writhes in pain all his days; only a few years are reserved for the ruthless.
21He leo hooweliweli maloko o kona pepeiao; Iloko ia o ka pomaikai, A e hele mai ka mea luku maluna ona.
21Sounds of terror fill his ears; in his prosperity the destroyer attacks him.
22Aole ona manao e hoi hou mai, mailoko mai o ka pouli, A ua kakali oia i ka pahikaua.
22He despairs of his return from darkness; he is marked for the sword.
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.
23He wanders about as food for vultures; he knows the day of darkness is at hand.
24E hoomakau ke kaumaha, a me ka popilikia ia ia; E lanakila laua maluna ona, me he alii la i makaukau no ke kaua.
24Distress and anguish terrify him, overwhelming him like a king poised to attack.
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.
25For he has stretched out his hand against God and has vaunted himself against the Almighty,
26Wahi aku no ia maluna ona me ka a-i aa, Me ka manoa o na niho o kaua palekaua:
26rushing headlong at Him with a thick, studded shield.
27No ka mea, ua hoouhi oia i kona maka me ka momona, A kau no ia i ka momona maluna o na puupaa.
27Though his face is covered with fat and his waistline bulges with flesh,
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.
28he will dwell in ruined cities, in abandoned houses destined to become rubble.
29Aole e hoolakoia oia, Aole hoi e mau kana waiwai, Aole hoi e hoopalahalaha i ka lakou loaa ma ka honua,
29He will no longer be rich; his wealth will not endure. His possessions will not overspread the land.
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.
30He will not escape from the darkness; the flame will wither his shoots, and the breath of God’s mouth will carry him away.
31O ka mea i puni, mai hilinai oia i ka mea lapuwale: No ka mea, e lilo ka lapuwale i uku nona.
31Let him not deceive himself with trust in emptiness, for emptiness will be his reward.
32Mamua o kona manawa, e okiia'ku ia, Aole e uliuli kona lala.
32It will be paid in full before his time, and his branch will not flourish.
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.
33He will be like a vine stripped of its unripe grapes, like an olive tree that sheds its blossoms.
34No ka mea, e hua ole ka ohana a ka aia, A e hoopau ke ahi i na halelewa a ke kipe.
34For the company of the godless will be barren, and fire will consume the tents of bribery.
35Hapai lakou, he kolohe, a hanau mai, he hewa; A noonoo ko lakou opu i ka wahahee.
35They conceive trouble and give birth to evil; their womb is pregnant with deceit.”
