Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Elihu also continued, and said,
1OLELO hou aku la o Elihu, i aku la,
2“Bear with me a little, and I will show you; for I still have something to say on God’s behalf.
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.
3I will get my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
3E lawe mai no au i kuu ike mai kahi loihi mai, A e hoapono aku au i kuu mea nana i hana.
4For truly my words are not false. One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.
4No ka mea, aole e wahahee ka'u olelo; O ka mea hemolele i ka ike, oia me oe.
5“Behold, God is mighty, and doesn’t despise anyone. He is mighty in strength of understanding.
5Aia hoi, he mana ke Akua, aole ia e hoowahawaha: He mana kona, he ikaika ka naauao.
6He doesn’t preserve the life of the wicked, but gives justice to the afflicted.
6Aole ia e hoopomaikai i ka aia: Aka, e haawi no ia i ka pono no na ilihune.
7He doesn’t withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne, he sets them forever, and they are exalted.
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.
8If they are bound in fetters, and are taken in the cords of afflictions,
8A ina e hoopaaia lakou i na kaulahao, A e hoopaaia lakou i ke kaula o ka popilikia;
9then he shows them their work, and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.
9Alaila hoike no ia ia lakou i ka lakou hana, A me ko lakou hewa, no ka mea, ua hana kiekie lakou.
10He also opens their ears to instruction, and commands that they return from iniquity.
10Wehe ae no ia i ko lakou pepeiao no ke ao ana, A olelo aku e huli mai lakou mai ka hewa mai.
11If they listen and serve him, they will spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
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.
12But if they don’t listen, they will perish by the sword; they will die without knowledge.
12Aka, i hoolohe ole lakou, e make lakou i ka pahikaua, A e make lakou iloko o ka naaupo.
13“But those who are godless in heart lay up anger. They don’t cry for help when he binds them.
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.
14They die in youth. Their life perishes among the unclean.
14E make no lakou i ka wa ui, A ua pau ko lakou ola ana iwaena o ka poe haumia.
15He delivers the afflicted by their affliction, and opens their ear in oppression.
15Hoopakele no ia i ka mea hune i kona popilikia, A wehe ae ia i ko lakou pepeiao i ka wa kaumaha.
16Yes, he would have allured you out of distress, into a wide place, where there is no restriction. That which is set on your table would be full of fatness.
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.
17“But you are full of the judgment of the wicked. Judgment and justice take hold of you.
17Aka, i lawe paha oe i ka hewa o ka mea aia, O ka hoohewa, a me ka hoopai e hahai mai.
18Don’t let riches entice you to wrath, neither let the great size of a bribe turn you aside.
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.
19Would your wealth sustain you in distress, or all the might of your strength?
19E manao anei oia i kou waiwai? Aole! aole ke gula, aole hoi na mea waiwai a pau.
20Don’t desire the night, when people are cut off in their place.
20Mai iini oe i ka po, I ka wa i okiia'i na kanaka mai ko lakou wahi.
21Take heed, don’t regard iniquity; for you have chosen this rather than affliction.
21E makaala, mai malama oe i ka hewa: No ka mea, ua koho aku oe i keia mamua o ka popilikia.
22Behold, God is exalted in his power. Who is a teacher like him?
22Aia hoi, o ke Akua ke hookiekie ma kona mana, Owai ke ao aku e like me ia?
23Who has prescribed his way for him? Or who can say, ‘You have committed unrighteousness’?
23Owai la i kuhikuhi aku ia ia i kona aoao? Owai la ke olelo aku, Ua hana oe i ka hewa?
24“Remember that you magnify his work, about which men have sung.
24E hoomanao, e hoonui aku oe i kana hana, Ka mea a na kanaka i ike ai.
25All men have looked on it. Man sees it afar off.
25E ike na kanaka a pau ia; E nana ke kanaka mai kahi loihi.
26Behold, God is great, and we don’t know him. The number of his years is unsearchable.
26Aia hoi, he nui ke Akua, aole kakou i ike, A o ka heluna o na makahiki ona, aole e huliia.
27For he draws up the drops of water, which distill in rain from his vapor,
27No ka mea, ua hoopii aku ia i na kulu wai; Ninini iho lakou he ua, noloko o kona ohu,
28which the skies pour down and which drop on man abundantly.
28Ka mea a na naulu i hookulukulu iho ai, A ninini nui maluna o ke kanaka.
29Indeed, can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds and the thunderings of his pavilion?
29E hoomaopopo anei kekahi i ka hohola ana o na ao? A me ka halulu ana o kona halelewa?
30Behold, he spreads his light around him. He covers the bottom of the sea.
30Aia hoi, hohola aku no ia i kona malamalama maluna ona, A uhi no ia i ka hohonu o ke kai.
31For by these he judges the people. He gives food in abundance.
31No ka mea, ma o lakou la ke hooponopono nei ia i na kanaka; Ke haawi nei ia i ka ai a nui loa.
32He covers his hands with the lightning, and commands it to strike the mark.
32Me na poho lima ke uhi no ia i ka uila, A kauoha aku ia ia i kona wahi e kau ai:
33Its noise tells about him, and the livestock also, concerning the storm that comes up.
33I kuhikuhi aku ia ia ia i kona mau makamaka; Aia ka ahu ana o ka huhu maluna o ka mea hewa.
