Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
1A LAILA olelo aku o Elipaza, no Temana, i mai la,
2“Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge, and fill himself with the east wind?
2E hai aku anei ka mea naauao i ka manao makani? A e hoopiha i kona opu i ka makani hikina?
3Should he reason with unprofitable talk, or with speeches with which he can do no good?
3E ao aku anei ia me ka olelo pono ole? A me na olelo kokua ole mai?
4Yes, you do away with fear, and hinder devotion before God.
4Aka, ua hoole oe i ka makau, A ua hooemi iho oe i ka pule imua o ke Akua,
5For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the language of the crafty.
5No ka mea, ke ao nei kou waha i kou hewa, A ke koho nei oe i ke alelo o ka poe maalea.
6Your own mouth condemns you, and not I. Yes, your own lips testify against you.
6Ke hoohewa nei kou waha ia oe, aole owau; A ke hoike nei kou lehelehe ia oe.
7“Are you the first man who was born? Or were you brought out before the hills?
7O oe anei ke kanaka makamua i hanau ai? Ua hanauia anei oe mamua o na puu?
8Have you heard the secret counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?
8Ua lohe anei oe ma ka ahaolelo a ke Akua? A ke hoopaa nei anei oe i ka naauao ia oe iho?
9What do you know that we don’t know? What do you understand which is not in us?
9Heaha kau e ike nei, a ike ole makou ia? Heaha ka mea maopopo ia oe, aole hoi maloko o makou ia?
10With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men, much older than your father.
10Me makou ke poohina a me ka mea kahiko, Ua oi aku ko lakou mau la mamua o ko kou makuakane.
11Are the consolations of God too small for you, even the word that is gentle toward you?
11He mea uuku anei ia oe na hooluolu o ke Akua? He mea huna anei kekahi ia oe?
12Why does your heart carry you away? Why do your eyes flash,
12No ke aha la e lawe aku nei kou naau ia oe? A i ke aha hoi kou mau maka e imoimo mai nei,
13that you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth?
13I hoohuli ae ai oe i kou naau e ku e i ke Akua, A e hoopuka ae ia mau huaolelo mai kou waha mai?
14What is man, that he should be clean? What is he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
14Heaha ke kanaka, i maemae ai oia? A o ka mea i hanauia e ka wahine, i pono ai oia?
15Behold, he puts no trust in his holy ones. Yes, the heavens are not clean in his sight;
15Aia hoi, aole ia e hilinai i kona poe hemolele; Aole hoi i maemae na lani i kona mau maka.
16how much less one who is abominable and corrupt, a man who drinks iniquity like water!
16He oiaio hoi, ua hoopailuaia, a ua haumia hoi ke kanaka, Ka mea e inu ana i ka hewa me he wai la?
17“I will show you, listen to me; that which I have seen I will declare
17E hai aku au ia oe, o hoolohe mai ia'u; A o ka mea a'u i ike ai, oia ka'u e hoike aku ana;
18(which wise men have told by their fathers, and have not hidden it;
18Ka mea a ka poe naauao i hai mai, Aole hoi i huna, mai ko lakou poe makua mai:
19to whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed among them):
19No lakou wale no i haawiia ka honua, Aole i hele ka malihini iwaena o lakou.
20the wicked man writhes in pain all his days, even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.
20I na la a pau, ua ehaeha ke kanaka hewa, A o ka huina o na makahiki, ua hunaia i ka mea hookaumaha.
21A sound of terrors is in his ears. In prosperity the destroyer will come on him.
21He leo hooweliweli maloko o kona pepeiao; Iloko ia o ka pomaikai, A e hele mai ka mea luku maluna ona.
22He doesn’t believe that he will return out of darkness. He is waited for by the sword.
22Aole ona manao e hoi hou mai, mailoko mai o ka pouli, A ua kakali oia i ka pahikaua.
23He wanders abroad for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’ He knows that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
23E auwana no ia i ka imi ai, Auhea ia? A ke ike nei no ia, ua makaukau ka la o ka pouli, ua kokoke.
24Distress and anguish make him afraid. They prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
24E hoomakau ke kaumaha, a me ka popilikia ia ia; E lanakila laua maluna ona, me he alii la i makaukau no ke kaua.
25Because he has stretched out his hand against God, and behaves himself proudly against the Almighty,
25No ka mea, ua o ku e aku ia i kona lima i ke Akua, Ua hookiekie aku ia ia iho i ka Mea mana.
26he runs at him with a stiff neck, with the thick shields of his bucklers,
26Wahi aku no ia maluna ona me ka a-i aa, Me ka manoa o na niho o kaua palekaua:
27because he has covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat on his thighs.
27No ka mea, ua hoouhi oia i kona maka me ka momona, A kau no ia i ka momona maluna o na puupaa.
28He has lived in desolate cities, in houses which no one inhabited, which were ready to become heaps.
28A noho iho no ia i na kulanakauhale neoneo, Iloko o na hale, aohe mea noho ilaila, Na mea i makaukau e lilo i mau puu.
29He will not be rich, neither will his substance continue, neither will their possessions be extended on the earth.
29Aole e hoolakoia oia, Aole hoi e mau kana waiwai, Aole hoi e hoopalahalaha i ka lakou loaa ma ka honua,
30He will not depart out of darkness. The flame will dry up his branches. He will go away by the breath of God’s mouth.
30Aole ia e pakele mailoko mai o ka pouli; E hoomaloo ka lapalapa i kona mau lala, A e laweia'ku oia ma ka ha o kona waha.
31Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself, for emptiness will be his reward.
31O ka mea i puni, mai hilinai oia i ka mea lapuwale: No ka mea, e lilo ka lapuwale i uku nona.
32It will be accomplished before his time. His branch will not be green.
32Mamua o kona manawa, e okiia'ku ia, Aole e uliuli kona lala.
33He will shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and will cast off his flower as the olive tree.
33E like me ke kumu waina, e hoohelelei ia i kona huawaina pala ole, A e like me ka laau oliva, e hoohaule ia i kona pua.
34For the company of the godless will be barren, and fire will consume the tents of bribery.
34No ka mea, e hua ole ka ohana a ka aia, A e hoopau ke ahi i na halelewa a ke kipe.
35They conceive mischief and produce iniquity. Their heart prepares deceit.”
35Hapai lakou, he kolohe, a hanau mai, he hewa; A noonoo ko lakou opu i ka wahahee.
