Job 34
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Moreover Elihu answered and said:
1A OLELO aku o Elihu, i aku la,
2Hear my words, ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
2E hoolohe mai oukou ia'u, e ka poe akamai, E haliu mai i ka pepeiao ia'u, e ka poe ike:
3For the ear trieth words, as the palate tasteth food.
3No ka mea, ke hoao nei ka pepeiao i na olelo, E like me ke kileo i hoao i ka ai.
4Let us choose for us that which is right; let us know among ourselves what is good.
4E hoao kakou i ka hooponopono no kakou iho; E ike kakou iwaena o kakou i ka mea maikai.
5For Job hath said: 'I am righteous, and God hath taken away my right;
5No ka mea, ua i mai o Ioba, Ua pono wau: A ua lawe aku ke Akua i kuu hoaponoia.
6Notwithstanding my right I am accounted a liar; my wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.'
6E hoopunipuni anei au i kuu pono? O kuu eha me ka hala ole, aole e hoolaia.
7What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?
7Owai ke kanaka e like me Ioba; Ka mea inu i ka olelo hoino me he wai la,
8Who goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
8Ka mea e hele pu ana me ka poe e hana ana i ka hewa, E hele ana hoi me na kanaka aia?
9For he hath said: 'It profiteth a man nothing that he should be in accord with God.'
9No ka mea, ua i mai ia, Aohe o ke kanaka mea e pono ai, I kona launa pu ana me ke Akua.
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.
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:
11For the work of a man will He requite unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
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.
12Yea, of a surety, God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert justice.
12He oiaio no, aole ke Akua e hana i ka hewa, Aole hoi ka Mea mana e hookahuli i ka pono.
13Who gave Him a charge over the earth? Or who hath disposed the whole world?
13Owai ka i haawi ia ia i ka honua? A owai ka i hoonoho i ko ke ao nei a pau?
14If He set His heart upon man, if He gather unto Himself his spirit and his breath;
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;
15All flesh shall perish together, and man shall return unto dust.
15E make pu auanei na io a pau, A e hoi hou aku ke kanaka i ka lepo.
16If now thou hast understanding, hear this; hearken to the voice of my words.
16A ina he naauao kou, e hoolohe mai i keia; E haliu mai i ka leo o ka'u olelo.
17Shall even one that hateth right govern? And wilt thou condemn Him that is just and mighty —
17E alii anei ka mea hoowahawaha i ka pono? A e hoahewa anei oe i ka mea pono loa?
18Is it fit to say to a king: 'Thou art base'? Or to nobles: 'Ye are wicked'? —
18He pono anei e olelo i ke alii, He hewa kou? A i na'lii, He pono ole oukou?
19That respecteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? For they all are the work of His hands.
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.
20In a moment they die, even at midnight; the people are shaken and pass away, and the mighty are taken away without hand.
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.
21For His eyes are upon the ways of a man, and He seeth all his goings.
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.
22There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
22Aohe pouli, aohe malu make, Kahi e pee ai ka poe e hana ana i ka hewa.
23For He doth not appoint a time unto any man, when he should go before God in judgment.
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.
24He breaketh in pieces mighty men without inquisition, and setteth others in their stead.
24E ulupa oia i na'lii me ka noonoo ole, A e hooku i na mea e ae ma ko lakou hakahaka.
25Therefore He taketh knowledge of their works; and He overturneth them in the night, so that they are crushed.
25Nolaila, ua ike no ia i ka lakou mau hana, A e hookahuli oia ia lakou i ka po, a e hehiia lakou ilalo.
26He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
26Hoopai no ia ia lakou, no ka mea, ua hewa lakou, Ma kahi o ka poe e nana mai ana;
27Because they turned aside from following Him, and would not have regard to any of His ways;
27No ka mea, ua huli ae lakou mai ona aku la, Aole lakou i noonoo i kona mau aoao a pau.
28So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto Him, and He heareth the cry of the afflicted.
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.
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;
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:
30That the godless man reign not, that there be none to ensnare the people.
30I alii ole ai ke kanaka aia, O hihia auanei na kanaka.
31For hath any said unto God: 'I have borne chastisement, though I offend not;
31He pono no e olelo aku oe i ke Akua, Ua hoopaiia wau, aole au e hana hewa hou aku.
32That which I see not teach Thou me; if I have done iniquity, I will do it 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.
33Shall His recompense be as thou wilt? For thou loathest it, so that thou must choose, and not I; therefore speak what thou knowest.
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.
34Men of understanding will say unto me, yea, every wise man that heareth me:
34O na kanaka naauao e olelo mai ia'u, A me ke kanaka akamai e hoolohe mai ia'u.
35'Job speaketh without knowledge, and his words are without discernment.'
35Ua olelo mai o Ioba me ka ike ole, A o kana mau olelo, aole me ka naauao.
36Would that Job were tried unto the end, because of his answering like wicked men.
36O kuu makemake, e hoaoia o Ioba a i ka hopena, No kana mau olelo e like me ka na kanaka hewa.
37For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.
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.
