Ioba 34
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1A OLELO aku o Elihu, i aku la,
1Moreover Elihu answered and said:
2E hoolohe mai oukou ia'u, e ka poe akamai, E haliu mai i ka pepeiao ia'u, e ka poe ike:
2Hear my words, ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
3No ka mea, ke hoao nei ka pepeiao i na olelo, E like me ke kileo i hoao i ka ai.
3For the ear trieth words, as the palate tasteth food.
4E hoao kakou i ka hooponopono no kakou iho; E ike kakou iwaena o kakou i ka mea maikai.
4Let us choose for us that which is right; let us know among ourselves 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 hath said: 'I am righteous, and God hath taken away my right;
6E hoopunipuni anei au i kuu pono? O kuu eha me ka hala ole, aole e hoolaia.
6Notwithstanding my right I am accounted a liar; 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 drinketh up scorning 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?
8Who goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh 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 hath said: 'It profiteth a man nothing that he should be in accord with 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 hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: Far be it from God, that He should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that He should commit iniquity.
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 the work of a man will He requite unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
12He oiaio no, aole ke Akua e hana i ka hewa, Aole hoi ka Mea mana e hookahuli i ka pono.
12Yea, of a surety, God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty 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 a charge over the earth? Or who hath disposed 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 set His heart upon man, if He gather unto Himself his spirit and his breath;
15E make pu auanei na io a pau, A e hoi hou aku ke kanaka i ka lepo.
15All flesh shall perish together, and man shall return unto dust.
16A ina he naauao kou, e hoolohe mai i keia; E haliu mai i ka leo o ka'u olelo.
16If now thou hast understanding, hear this; hearken to the voice of my words.
17E alii anei ka mea hoowahawaha i ka pono? A e hoahewa anei oe i ka mea pono loa?
17Shall even one that hateth right govern? And wilt thou condemn Him that is just and mighty —
18He pono anei e olelo i ke alii, He hewa kou? A i na'lii, He pono ole oukou?
18Is it fit to say to a king: 'Thou art base'? Or to nobles: 'Ye 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.
19That respecteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? For they all are 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.
20In a moment they die, even at midnight; the people are shaken and pass away, and the mighty are taken away without 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 upon the ways of a man, and He seeth all his goings.
22Aohe pouli, aohe malu make, Kahi e pee ai ka poe e hana ana i ka hewa.
22There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
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 He doth not appoint a time unto any man, when he should go before God in judgment.
24E ulupa oia i na'lii me ka noonoo ole, A e hooku i na mea e ae ma ko lakou hakahaka.
24He breaketh in pieces mighty men without inquisition, and setteth others in their stead.
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 taketh knowledge of their works; and He overturneth them in the night, so that they are crushed.
26Hoopai no ia ia lakou, no ka mea, ua hewa lakou, Ma kahi o ka poe e nana mai ana;
26He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
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 following Him, and would not have regard to 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.
28So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto Him, and He heareth the cry 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:
29When He giveth quietness, who then can condemn? And when He hideth His face, who then can behold Him? whether it be done unto a nation, or unto a man, alike;
30I alii ole ai ke kanaka aia, O hihia auanei na kanaka.
30That the godless man reign not, that there be none to ensnare the people.
31He pono no e olelo aku oe i ke Akua, Ua hoopaiia wau, aole au e hana hewa hou aku.
31For hath any said unto God: 'I have borne chastisement, though I offend not;
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.
32That which I see not teach Thou me; if I have done iniquity, I will do it no more'?
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.
33Shall His recompense be as thou wilt? For thou loathest it, so that thou must choose, and not I; therefore speak what thou knowest.
34O na kanaka naauao e olelo mai ia'u, A me ke kanaka akamai e hoolohe mai ia'u.
34Men of understanding will say unto me, yea, every wise man that heareth me:
35Ua olelo mai o Ioba me ka ike ole, A o kana mau olelo, aole me ka naauao.
35'Job speaketh without knowledge, and his words are without discernment.'
36O kuu makemake, e hoaoia o Ioba a i ka hopena, No kana mau olelo e like me ka na kanaka hewa.
36Would that Job were tried unto the end, because of his answering like wicked men.
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 addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.
