Job 35

World English Bible

Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)

1Moreover Elihu answered,

1OLELO aku la hoi o Elihu, i aku la,

2“Do you think this to be your right, or do you say, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s,’

2Ke manao nei oe he pono keia, O kau i olelo mai, O ko'u pono, ua oi mamua o ko ke Akua?

3that you ask, ‘What advantage will it be to you? What profit will I have, more than if I had sinned?’

3No ka mea, ua ninau mai oe, Heaha ka pono no'u? Heaha hoi ko'u pomaikai no kuu hewa ole ana?

4I will answer you, and your companions with you.

4Owau ke hoihoi aku ia olelo iou la, A i kou mau hoalauna me oe.

5Look to the skies, and see. See the skies, which are higher than you.

5E nana ae oe i ka lani, a ike; A e nana i na ao, ua kiekie lakou mamua ou.

6If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him? If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?

6Ina e hana hewa oe, heaha kau hana ia ia? Ina e hoonuiia kou mau hala, heaha kau e hana'i nana?

7If you are righteous, what do you give him? Or what does he receive from your hand?

7Ina ua pono oe, heaha kau e haawi aku ai ia ia? Heaha kana e loaa'i mai kou lima aku?

8Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are, and your righteousness may profit a son of man.

8No ke kanaka e like me oe kou hala, A no ke keiki a ke kanaka kou pono.

9“By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out. They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.

9Ke uwe ae nei ka poe kaumaha no ka hooluhiia; I uwe lakou no ka lima o na mea koikoi.

10But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,

10Aka, aole e i mai kekahi, Auhea ke Akua nana au i hana, Ka mea i haawi mai i na mele olioli i ka po;

11who teaches us more than the animals of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?’

11O ka mea i ao mai ia kakou mamua o na holoholona o ka honua, A ua hoonaauao oia ia kakou mamua o na manu o ka lewa?

12There they cry, but no one answers, because of the pride of evil men.

12Malaila lakou e uwe ai, aole mea i ekemu mai, No ka haaheo o ka poe hewa.

13Surely God will not hear an empty cry, neither will the Almighty regard it.

13He oiaio, aole ke Akua e hoolohe mai i ka mea wahahee, Aole ka Mea mana e maliu mai ia.

14How much less when you say you don’t see him. The cause is before him, and you wait for him!

14Ina paha e olelo oe, aole oe i ike ia ia, Imua ona ka hooponopono, nolaila e kali aku oe ia ia.

15But now, because he has not visited in his anger, neither does he greatly regard arrogance,

15Ano hoi, he mea ole ka hoopai ana o kona inaina, Aole ia e haka pono mai i na hewa;

16therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk, and he multiplies words without knowledge.”

16Nolaila i oaka hewa mai ai ko Ioba waha, He hoonui olelo kana me ko ike ole.
