Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1A LAILA olelo aku o Elipaza, i aku la,
1Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
2E hiki anei i ke kanaka, ke hoopomaikai i ke Akua, E like me ka mea naauao, e hoopomaikai ia ia iho?
2“Can a man be of use to God? Can even a wise man benefit Him?
3He mea oluolu anei ke pono oe i ka Mea mana? A e waiwai anei oia ke hoohemolele oe i kou mau aoao?
3Does it delight the Almighty that you are righteous? Does He profit if your ways are blameless?
4No ka makau ia oe, e hoopaapaa mai anei ia ia oe? E hele mai anei ia me oe ma ka hooponopono ana?
4Is it for your reverence that He rebukes you and enters into judgment against you?
5Aole anei he nui kou hewa? A ua hope ole kou mau hala?
5Is not your wickedness great? Are not your iniquities endless?
6No ka mea, ua hoopanai wale oe i kou hoahanau, A ua lawe oe i na aahu o ka poe kapa ole.
6For you needlessly demanded security from your brothers and deprived the naked of their clothing.
7Aole oe i haawi i ka wai i ka mea nawaliwali, A ua ana oe i ka berena i ka mea pololi.
7You gave no water to the weary and withheld food from the famished,
8Aka, o ke kanaka ikaika, nona ka honua; A noho iho la ka mea koikoi ilaila.
8while the land belonged to a mighty man, and a man of honor lived on it.
9Ua hoihoi nele aku oe i na wahinekanemake, A ua paopaoia na lima o na mea makua ole.
9You sent widows away empty-handed, and the strength of the fatherless was crushed.
10Nolaila ua puni oe i na pahele, A o ka makau wale ke hooweliweli mai nei ia oe;
10Therefore snares surround you, and sudden peril terrifies you;
11A o ka pouli paha au i ike ole ai; A he nui loa ka wai e halana ana maluna ou.
11it is so dark you cannot see, and a flood of water covers you.
12Aole anei ke Akua ma ka lani kiekie? Aia hoi, ke poo o na hoku, ua kiekie lakou.
12Is not God as high as the heavens? Look at the highest stars, how lofty they are!
13A i mai la oe, Pehea la ke Akua e ike ai? E hiki anei ia ke hooponopono mawaena mai o ke ao pouli?
13Yet you say: ‘What does God know? Does He judge through thick darkness?
14O na ao naulu ka uhi nona, i ike ole ai ia, A hele no ia ma ka poai o ka lani.
14Thick clouds veil Him so He does not see us as He traverses the vault of heaven.’
15Ua noonoo pono anei oe i ka aoao kahiko, Kahi a ka poe hewa i hele ai?
15Will you stay on the ancient path that wicked men have trod?
16Ka poe i noopauia mamua o ka manawa, Ua nininiia ke kaiakahinalii maluna o ko lakou kahua;
16They were snatched away before their time, and their foundations were swept away by a flood.
17Ka poe i olelo aku i ke Akua, E hele mai o makou aku; A heaha ka ka Mea mana e hana mai ai no lakou?
17They said to God, ‘Depart from us. What can the Almighty do to us?’
18Ua hoopiha no nae ia i ko lakou mau hale i ka waiwai; Aka. o ka manao o ka poe hewa ua mamao loa aku ia ia'u.
18But it was He who filled their houses with good things; so I stay far from the counsel of the wicked.
19Ua ike no ka poe pono ia, a olioli, A akaaka ka poe hala ole ia lakou.
19The righteous see it and are glad; the innocent mock them:
20Ina paha ua lukuia ko makou poe enemi, A ua hoopauia ka waiwai nui o lakou i ke ahi.
20‘Surely our foes are destroyed, and fire has consumed their excess.’
21E hookuikahi ae me ia ano, a e pomaikai; Pela no e hiki mai ai ka pomaikai ia oe.
21Reconcile now and be at peace with Him; thereby good will come to you.
22Ke koi aku nei au ia oe, E lawe oe i ke kanawai mai kona waha mai, A e waiho oe i kana mau olelo iloko o kou naau.
22Receive instruction from His mouth, and lay up His words in your heart.
23Ina e hoi hou oe i ka Mea mana, e kukuluia oe, E hoomamao loa aku oe i ka hewa mai kou mau halelewa aku.
23If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored. If you remove injustice from your tents
24A e hoolei aku oe i kou houlunlu ana i ke gula i ka lepo, A i ke gula Opira hoi i na pohaku o na kahawai
24and consign your gold to the dust and the gold of Ophir to the stones of the ravines,
25A o ka Mea mana kou gula, A me ke kala o na waiwai nou.
25then the Almighty will be your gold and the finest silver for you.
26No ka mea, alaila e hauoli oe i ka Mea mana, A e hoala ae i kou maka i ke Akua.
26Surely then you will delight in the Almighty and lift up your face to God.
27E pule aku no oe ia ia, a e hoolohe mai ia ia oe, A e hooko aku oe i na mea au i hoohiki ai.
27You will pray to Him, and He will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows.
28A e noonoo oe i kahi mea, a e hoopaaia oia nou; A e alohi mai ka malamalama maluna o kou mau ala.
28Your decisions will be carried out, and light will shine on your ways.
29A e hoohaahaaia lakou, alaila e olelo oe, He kiekie; A e hoola mai no ia i ka mea i kulou na maka.
29When men are brought low and you say, ‘Lift them up!’ then He will save the lowly.
30E hoopakele no ia i ka mea lawe hala; A e hoopakeleia oia ma ka maemae o kou mau lima.
30He will deliver even one who is not innocent, rescuing him through the cleanness of your hands.”
