Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
World English Bible
1A LAILA olelo aku o Elipaza, i aku la,
1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
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 profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.
3He mea oluolu anei ke pono oe i ka Mea mana? A e waiwai anei oia ke hoohemolele oe i kou mau aoao?
3Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous? Or does it benefit him that you make your ways perfect?
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 piety that he reproves you, that he enters with you into judgment?
5Aole anei he nui kou hewa? A ua hope ole kou mau hala?
5Isn’t your wickedness great? Neither is there any end to your iniquities.
6No ka mea, ua hoopanai wale oe i kou hoahanau, A ua lawe oe i na aahu o ka poe kapa ole.
6For you have taken pledges from your brother for nothing, and stripped 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 haven’t given water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.
8Aka, o ke kanaka ikaika, nona ka honua; A noho iho la ka mea koikoi ilaila.
8But as for the mighty man, he had the earth. The honorable man, he lived in it.
9Ua hoihoi nele aku oe i na wahinekanemake, A ua paopaoia na lima o na mea makua ole.
9You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
10Nolaila ua puni oe i na pahele, A o ka makau wale ke hooweliweli mai nei ia oe;
10Therefore snares are around you. Sudden fear troubles you,
11A o ka pouli paha au i ike ole ai; A he nui loa ka wai e halana ana maluna ou.
11or darkness, so that you can not see, and floods of waters cover you.
12Aole anei ke Akua ma ka lani kiekie? Aia hoi, ke poo o na hoku, ua kiekie lakou.
12“Isn’t God in the heights of heaven? See the height of the stars, how high 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?
13You say, ‘What does God know? Can he judge through the 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 are a covering to him, so that he doesn’t see. He walks on the vault of the sky.’
15Ua noonoo pono anei oe i ka aoao kahiko, Kahi a ka poe hewa i hele ai?
15Will you keep the old way, which wicked men have trodden,
16Ka poe i noopauia mamua o ka manawa, Ua nininiia ke kaiakahinalii maluna o ko lakou kahua;
16who were snatched away before their time, whose foundation was poured out as a stream,
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?
17who said to God, ‘Depart from us!’ and, ‘What can the Almighty do for 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.
18Yet he filled their houses with good things, but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
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 ridicule them,
20Ina paha ua lukuia ko makou poe enemi, A ua hoopauia ka waiwai nui o lakou i ke ahi.
20saying, ‘Surely those who rose up against us are cut off. The fire has consumed their remnant.’
21E hookuikahi ae me ia ano, a e pomaikai; Pela no e hiki mai ai ka pomaikai ia oe.
21“Acquaint yourself with him now, and be at peace. By it, 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.
22Please receive 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 built up, if you put away unrighteousness far 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
24Lay your treasure in the dust, the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks.
25A o ka Mea mana kou gula, A me ke kala o na waiwai nou.
25The Almighty will be your treasure, and precious silver to you.
26No ka mea, alaila e hauoli oe i ka Mea mana, A e hoala ae i kou maka i ke Akua.
26For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, and will 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 make your prayer to him, and he will hear you. You will pay 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.
28You will also decree a thing, and it will be established to you. 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 they cast down, you will say, ‘be lifted up.’ He will save the humble person.
30E hoopakele no ia i ka mea lawe hala; A e hoopakeleia oia ma ka maemae o kou mau lima.
30He will even deliver him who is not innocent. Yes, he will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”
