Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1A OLELO aku o Elihu, i aku la,
1Then Elihu continued:
2E hoolohe mai oukou ia'u, e ka poe akamai, E haliu mai i ka pepeiao ia'u, e ka poe ike:
2“Hear my words, O wise men; give ear to me, O men of learning.
3No ka mea, ke hoao nei ka pepeiao i na olelo, E like me ke kileo i hoao i ka ai.
3For the ear tests words as the mouth tastes food.
4E hoao kakou i ka hooponopono no kakou iho; E ike kakou iwaena o kakou i ka mea maikai.
4Let us choose for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good.
5No ka mea, ua i mai o Ioba, Ua pono wau: A ua lawe aku ke Akua i kuu hoaponoia.
5For Job has declared, ‘I am righteous, yet God has deprived me of justice.
6E hoopunipuni anei au i kuu pono? O kuu eha me ka hala ole, aole e hoolaia.
6Would I lie about my case? My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’
7Owai ke kanaka e like me Ioba; Ka mea inu i ka olelo hoino me he wai la,
7What man is like Job, who drinks up derision like water?
8Ka mea e hele pu ana me ka poe e hana ana i ka hewa, E hele ana hoi me na kanaka aia?
8He keeps company with evildoers and walks with wicked men.
9No ka mea, ua i mai ia, Aohe o ke kanaka mea e pono ai, I kona launa pu ana me ke Akua.
9For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should delight in God.’
10Nolaila e hoolohe ia'u, e na kanaka naauao; Aole ke Akua e hana i ka hewa; Aole hoi ka Mea mana i ka pono ole:
10Therefore listen to me, O men of understanding. Far be it from God to do wrong, and from the Almighty to act unjustly.
11No ka mea, ma ka hana a ke kanaka e ukuia mai ai oia, A e loaa i kela kanaka keia kanaka e like me kona aoao.
11For according to a man’s deeds He repays him; according to a man’s ways He brings consequences.
12He oiaio no, aole ke Akua e hana i ka hewa, Aole hoi ka Mea mana e hookahuli i ka pono.
12Indeed, it is true that God does not act wickedly, and the Almighty does not pervert justice.
13Owai ka i haawi ia ia i ka honua? A owai ka i hoonoho i ko ke ao nei a pau?
13Who gave Him charge over the earth? Who appointed Him over the whole world?
14Ina e kau ia i kona naau maluna o ke kanaka, A e lawe aku ia i kona uhane a me kona ea io na la;
14If He were to set His heart to it and withdraw His Spirit and breath,
15E make pu auanei na io a pau, A e hoi hou aku ke kanaka i ka lepo.
15all flesh would perish together and mankind would return to the dust.
16A ina he naauao kou, e hoolohe mai i keia; E haliu mai i ka leo o ka'u olelo.
16If you have understanding, hear this; listen to my words.
17E alii anei ka mea hoowahawaha i ka pono? A e hoahewa anei oe i ka mea pono loa?
17Could one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn the just and mighty One,
18He pono anei e olelo i ke alii, He hewa kou? A i na'lii, He pono ole oukou?
18who says to kings, ‘You are worthless!’ and to nobles, ‘You are wicked,’
19Pehea hoi ka mea maliu ole mai i ko na'lii, Aole hoi ia i manao i ka mea waiwai mamua o ka ilihune? No ka mea, o lakou, a pau ka hana a kona lima.
19who is not partial to princes and does not favor rich over poor? For they are all the work of His hands.
20E make koke no lakou, Iwaena o ka po e haalulu na kanaka, a e nalo aku; A e laweia'ku ka poe ikaika, me ka lima ole.
20They die in an instant, in the middle of the night. The people convulse and pass away; the mighty are removed without human hand.
21No ka mea, aia no kona mau maka maluna o na aoao o ke kanaka, A ua nana no i kona mau kapuwai a pau.
21For His eyes are on the ways of a man, and He sees his every step.
22Aohe pouli, aohe malu make, Kahi e pee ai ka poe e hana ana i ka hewa.
22There is no darkness or deep shadow where the workers of iniquity can hide.
23No ka mea, aole ia e noonoo nui i ka ke kanaka, E kai aku ia ia imua o ke Akua ma ka hookolokolo ana.
23For God need not examine a man further or have him approach for judgment.
24E ulupa oia i na'lii me ka noonoo ole, A e hooku i na mea e ae ma ko lakou hakahaka.
24He shatters the mighty without inquiry and sets up others in their place.
25Nolaila, ua ike no ia i ka lakou mau hana, A e hookahuli oia ia lakou i ka po, a e hehiia lakou ilalo.
25Therefore, He recognizes their deeds; He overthrows them in the night and they are crushed.
26Hoopai no ia ia lakou, no ka mea, ua hewa lakou, Ma kahi o ka poe e nana mai ana;
26He strikes them for their wickedness in full view,
27No ka mea, ua huli ae lakou mai ona aku la, Aole lakou i noonoo i kona mau aoao a pau.
27because they turned aside from Him and had no regard for any of His ways.
28Nolaila, e hele ka uwe ana o ka mea hune io na la, A ua hoolohe ia i ka uwe ana o ka poe i hooluhiia.
28They caused the cry of the poor to come before Him, and He heard the outcry of the afflicted.
29A haawi mai ia i ka maha, owai hoi ke hoopilikia mai? A huna oia i kona maka, owai ke ike aku ia ia? Pela no ka lahuikanaka a me ke kanaka hookahi:
29But when He remains silent, who can condemn Him? When He hides His face, who can see Him? Yet He watches over both man and nation,
30I alii ole ai ke kanaka aia, O hihia auanei na kanaka.
30that godless men should not rule or lay snares for the people.
31He pono no e olelo aku oe i ke Akua, Ua hoopaiia wau, aole au e hana hewa hou aku.
31Suppose someone says to God, ‘I have endured my punishment; I will offend no more.
32O ka mea a'u i ike ole ai kau e ao mai ai ia'u; Ina ua hana au i ka hewa, aole au e hana hou.
32Teach me what I cannot see; if I have done wrong, I will not do it again.’
33Ma kou manao anei kana e uku mai ai, no kou hoole ana, Nau no e koho, aole na'u? Nolaila o ka mea au i ike ai, e olelo mai oe.
33Should God repay you on your own terms when you have disavowed His? You must choose, not I; so tell me what you know.
34O na kanaka naauao e olelo mai ia'u, A me ke kanaka akamai e hoolohe mai ia'u.
34Men of understanding will declare to me, and the wise men who hear me will say:
35Ua olelo mai o Ioba me ka ike ole, A o kana mau olelo, aole me ka naauao.
35‘Job speaks without knowledge; his words lack insight.’
36O kuu makemake, e hoaoia o Ioba a i ka hopena, No kana mau olelo e like me ka na kanaka hewa.
36If only Job were tried to the utmost for answering like a wicked man.
37No ka mea, ua hookui aku ia i ka lawehala me kona hewa, Iwaena o kakou ua pai i kona lima, A ua hoonui i kana mau olelo ku e i ke Akua.
37For he adds rebellion to his sin; he claps his hands among us and multiplies his words against God.”
