1Moreover Elihu answered,
1A OLELO aku o Elihu, i aku la,
2“Hear my words, you wise men. Give ear to me, you who 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 tries words, as the palate tastes 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 has said, ‘I am righteous, God has 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 considered a liar. My wound is incurable, though I am without disobedience.’
6E hoopunipuni anei au i kuu pono? O kuu eha me ka hala ole, aole e hoolaia.
7What man is like Job, who drinks scorn like water,
7Owai ke kanaka e like me Ioba; Ka mea inu i ka olelo hoino me he wai la,
8who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walks 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 has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself 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.
10“Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, 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 he will give to 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.
12Yes surely, 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 put him in charge of the earth? Or who has appointed him over 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 on himself, if he gathered to 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 would perish together, and man would turn again to dust.
15E make pu auanei na io a pau, A e hoi hou aku ke kanaka i ka lepo.
16“If now you have understanding, hear this. Listen 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.
17Should even one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn him who is righteous and mighty,
17E alii anei ka mea hoowahawaha i ka pono? A e hoahewa anei oe i ka mea pono loa?
18who says to a king, ‘Vile!’ or to nobles, ‘Wicked!’?
18He pono anei e olelo i ke alii, He hewa kou? A i na'lii, He pono ole oukou?
19He doesn’t respect the persons of princes, nor respect 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. The mighty are taken away without a 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.
21“For his eyes are on the ways of a man. He sees 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 thick gloom, 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 doesn’t need to consider a man further, that 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 breaks mighty men in pieces in ways past finding out, and sets others in their place.
24E ulupa oia i na'lii me ka noonoo ole, A e hooku i na mea e ae ma ko lakou hakahaka.
25Therefore he takes knowledge of their works. He overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
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 strikes 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 away from following him, and wouldn’t pay attention 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 caused the cry of the poor to come to him. He heard 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 gives quietness, who then can condemn? When he hides his face, who then can see him? He is over a nation or 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 may not reign, that there be no one to ensnare the people.
30I alii ole ai ke kanaka aia, O hihia auanei na kanaka.
31“For has any said to God, ‘I am guilty, but I will not offend any more.
31He pono no e olelo aku oe i ke Akua, Ua hoopaiia wau, aole au e hana hewa hou aku.
32Teach me that which I don’t see. 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 you desire, that you refuse it? For you must choose, and not I. Therefore speak what you know.
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 tell me, yes, every wise man who hears me:
34O na kanaka naauao e olelo mai ia'u, A me ke kanaka akamai e hoolohe mai ia'u.
35‘Job speaks without knowledge. His words are without wisdom.’
35Ua olelo mai o Ioba me ka ike ole, A o kana mau olelo, aole me ka naauao.
36I wish that Job were tried to 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 adds rebellion to his sin. He claps his hands among us, and multiplies 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.
