Ioba 36
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1OLELO hou aku la o Elihu, i aku la,
1And Elihu continued:
2E ahonui iki mai ia'u, a e hoike aku au ia oe, No ka mea, he wahi olelo ka'u i koe no ke Akua.
2“Bear with me a little longer, and I will show you that there is more to be said on God’s behalf.
3E lawe mai no au i kuu ike mai kahi loihi mai, A e hoapono aku au i kuu mea nana i hana.
3I get my knowledge from afar, and I will ascribe justice to my Maker.
4No ka mea, aole e wahahee ka'u olelo; O ka mea hemolele i ka ike, oia me oe.
4For truly my words are free of falsehood; one perfect in knowledge is with you.
5Aia hoi, he mana ke Akua, aole ia e hoowahawaha: He mana kona, he ikaika ka naauao.
5Indeed, God is mighty, but He despises no one; He is mighty in strength of understanding.
6Aole ia e hoopomaikai i ka aia: Aka, e haawi no ia i ka pono no na ilihune.
6He does not keep the wicked alive, but He grants justice to the afflicted.
7Aole ia e lawe ae i kona mau maka mai ka poe pono aku; Aia no ia me na'lii maluna o ka nohoalii; A e hoonoho paa no oia ia lakou, i kiekie ai lakou.
7He does not take His eyes off the righteous, but He enthrones them with kings and exalts them forever.
8A ina e hoopaaia lakou i na kaulahao, A e hoopaaia lakou i ke kaula o ka popilikia;
8And if men are bound with chains, caught in cords of affliction,
9Alaila hoike no ia ia lakou i ka lakou hana, A me ko lakou hewa, no ka mea, ua hana kiekie lakou.
9then He tells them their deeds and how arrogantly they have transgressed.
10Wehe ae no ia i ko lakou pepeiao no ke ao ana, A olelo aku e huli mai lakou mai ka hewa mai.
10He opens their ears to correction and commands that they turn from iniquity.
11Ina hoolohe lakou, a malama ia ia, E noho lakou i ko lakou mau la me ka pomaikai, A i ko lakou mau makahiki me ka oluolu.
11If they obey and serve Him, then they end their days in prosperity and their years in happiness.
12Aka, i hoolohe ole lakou, e make lakou i ka pahikaua, A e make lakou iloko o ka naaupo.
12But if they do not obey, then they perish by the sword and die without knowledge.
13A o ka poe aia ma ka naau, hoiliili lakou i ka inaina: Aole lakou e kahea aku, i ka wa e hoopaa aku ai oia ia lakou.
13The godless in heart harbor resentment; even when He binds them, they do not cry for help.
14E make no lakou i ka wa ui, A ua pau ko lakou ola ana iwaena o ka poe haumia.
14They die in their youth, among the male shrine prostitutes.
15Hoopakele no ia i ka mea hune i kona popilikia, A wehe ae ia i ko lakou pepeiao i ka wa kaumaha.
15God rescues the afflicted by their affliction and opens their ears in oppression.
16A lawe auanei hoi oia ia oe mai kahi pilikia a kahi akea, Ma kahi aohe ona pilikia: A o ka mea e kauia ma kou papaaina, e piha ia i ka momona.
16Indeed, He drew you from the jaws of distress to a spacious and broad place, to a table full of richness.
17Aka, i lawe paha oe i ka hewa o ka mea aia, O ka hoohewa, a me ka hoopai e hahai mai.
17But now you are laden with the judgment due the wicked; judgment and justice have seized you.
18No ka mea, no ka huhu, [E ao,] o lawe aku oia ia oe me ka hahau ana; Alaila aole e hiki i ka panai nui ke hoopakele ia oe.
18Be careful that no one lures you with riches; do not let a large bribe lead you astray.
19E manao anei oia i kou waiwai? Aole! aole ke gula, aole hoi na mea waiwai a pau.
19Can your wealth or all your mighty effort keep you from distress?
20Mai iini oe i ka po, I ka wa i okiia'i na kanaka mai ko lakou wahi.
20Do not long for the night, when people vanish from their homes.
21E makaala, mai malama oe i ka hewa: No ka mea, ua koho aku oe i keia mamua o ka popilikia.
21Be careful not to turn to iniquity, for this you have preferred to affliction.
22Aia hoi, o ke Akua ke hookiekie ma kona mana, Owai ke ao aku e like me ia?
22Behold, God is exalted in His power. Who is a teacher like Him?
23Owai la i kuhikuhi aku ia ia i kona aoao? Owai la ke olelo aku, Ua hana oe i ka hewa?
23Who has appointed His way for Him, or told Him, ‘You have done wrong’?
24E hoomanao, e hoonui aku oe i kana hana, Ka mea a na kanaka i ike ai.
24Remember to magnify His work, which men have praised in song.
25E ike na kanaka a pau ia; E nana ke kanaka mai kahi loihi.
25All mankind has seen it; men behold it from afar.
26Aia hoi, he nui ke Akua, aole kakou i ike, A o ka heluna o na makahiki ona, aole e huliia.
26Indeed, God is great—beyond our knowledge; the number of His years is unsearchable.
27No ka mea, ua hoopii aku ia i na kulu wai; Ninini iho lakou he ua, noloko o kona ohu,
27For He draws up drops of water which distill the rain from the mist,
28Ka mea a na naulu i hookulukulu iho ai, A ninini nui maluna o ke kanaka.
28which the clouds pour out and shower abundantly on mankind.
29E hoomaopopo anei kekahi i ka hohola ana o na ao? A me ka halulu ana o kona halelewa?
29Furthermore, who can understand how the clouds spread out, how the thunder roars from His pavilion?
30Aia hoi, hohola aku no ia i kona malamalama maluna ona, A uhi no ia i ka hohonu o ke kai.
30See how He scatters His lightning around Him and covers the depths of the sea.
31No ka mea, ma o lakou la ke hooponopono nei ia i na kanaka; Ke haawi nei ia i ka ai a nui loa.
31For by these He judges the nations and provides food in abundance.
32Me na poho lima ke uhi no ia i ka uila, A kauoha aku ia ia i kona wahi e kau ai:
32He fills His hands with lightning and commands it to strike its mark.
33I kuhikuhi aku ia ia ia i kona mau makamaka; Aia ka ahu ana o ka huhu maluna o ka mea hewa.
33The thunder declares His presence; even the cattle regard the rising storm.
