Ioba 33
1 NOLAILA ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e Ioba, e hoolohe mai i ka'u mau olelo, A e haliu mai i ka'u mau huaolelo a pau.
Howbeit hear, Job, my words, and listen to my speech.
2 Aia hoi, ano, ke wehe nei au i kuu waha, Ke olelo aku nei kuu elelo ma kuu waha.
For behold, I have opened my mouth, and my tongue has spoken.
3 Ma ka pono o kuu naau ka'u olelo; A e olelo akaka kuu lehelehe i ka naauao.
My heart [shall be found] pure by [my] words; and the understanding of my lips shall meditate purity.
4 Na ka Uhane o ke Akua owau i hana, Na ka hanu hoi o ka Mea mana owau i hoola.
The Divine Spirit is that which formed me, and the breath of the Almighty that which teaches me.
5 Ina e hiki ia oe ke ekemu mai ia'u, E hooponopono oe imua o'u, e kupaa.
If you can, give me an answer: wait therefore; stand against me, and I [will stand] against you.
6 Aia hoi, no ke Akua no wau e like me oe; Ua hanaia hoi au mai ka lepo mai.
You are formed out of the clay as also I: we have been formed out of the same [substance].
7 Aia hoi, aole ko'u makau e hooweliweli ia oe, Aole e hookaumahaia ko'u lima maluna ou.
My fear shall not terrify you, neither shall my hand be heavy upon you.
8 He oiaio, ua olelo mai oe maloko o kuu pepeiao, A ua lohe au i ka leo o kau mau olelo;
But you have said in mine ears, (I have heard the voice of your words; ) because you say, I am pure, not having sinned;
9 Ua maemae wau, me ka hala ole, Ua maemae wau, aohe hewa iloko o'u.
I am blameless, for I have not transgressed.
10 Aia hoi, ua imi no ia i na mea ku e ia'u, Ua manao mai ia ia'u he enemi nona;
Yet he has discovered a charge against me, and he has reckoned me as an adversary.
11 Ua hookomo no ia i kuu mau wawae ma ka laau kupee, Ua hoohalua no ia i ko'u mau aoao a pau.
And he has put my foot in the stocks, and has watched all my ways.
12 Aia hoi, ma keia ua pono ole oe; E olelo aku au ia oe, no ka mea, ua oi ke Akua mamua o ke kanaka.
For how say you, I am righteous, yet he has not listened to me? for he that is above mortals is eternal.
13 No ke aha la oe i hakaka pu ai me ia? No ka mea, aole ia i hoike mai i kana mau mea a pau.
But you say, Why has he not heard every word of my cause?
14 No ka mea, hookahi ka ke Akua olelo ana mai, A elua hoi, aole nae i manaoia oia.
For when the Lord speaks once, or a second time,
15 Ma ka moeuhane, ma ka hihio i ka po, I ke kau ana o ka hiamoe nui maluna o kanaka, I ka hiamoe ana maluna o kahi moe;
[sending] a dream, or in the meditation of the night; (as when a dreadful alarm happens to fall upon men, in slumberings on the bed: )
16 Alaila wehe ae la ia i na pepeiao o kanaka, A hoopaa mai ia i ke ao ana o lakou,
then opens he the understanding of men: he scares them with such fearful visions:
17 I hoololi ai ia i ka ke kanaka hana, A e hookaa i ke kiekie mai ke kanaka aku.
to turn a man from unrighteousness, and he delivers his body from a fall.
18 Ua hoopakele no ia i kona uhane mai ka luakupapau mai, A i kona ola hoi mai ka make ana i ka pahikaua.
He spares also his soul from death, and [suffers] him not to fall in war.
19 Ua hoopaiia oia i ka eha maluna o kona wahi moe, A o ka haukeke o kona mau iwi, ua ikaika ia.
And again, he chastens him with sickness on his bed, and the multitude of his bones is benumbed.
20 Ua hoopailua kona naau i ka berena, A o kona uhane i ka ai maikai.
And he shall not be able to take any food, though his soul shall desire meat;
21 Ua hoopauia kona io mai ka maka aku, A ua ahuwale mai kona mau iwi i ike ole ia.
until his flesh shall be consumed, and he shall show his bones bare.
22 A ua hookokokeia kona uhane i ka luakupapau, A o kona ola i na mea hoopau.
His soul also draws near to death, and his life is in Hades.
23 Ina me ia he anela, he hoikeolelo, Hookahi noloko mai o ke tausani, E hoike aku i ke kanaka i kona pono;
Though there should be a thousand messengers of death, not one of them shall wound him: if he should purpose in his heart to turn to the Lord, and declare to man his fault, and show his folly;
24 A aloha mai oia ia ia, a i iho la, E hoopakele ia ia mai ka iho ana i ka lua; Ua loaa ia'u ka uku hoola.
he will support him, that he should not perish, and will restore his body as [fresh] plaster upon a wall; and he will fill his bones with morrow.
25 E hana hou ia kona io me ia i ka wa kamalii, E hoi hou no ia i na la o kona wa opio:
And he will make his flesh tender as that of a babe, and he will restore him among men in [his] full strength.
26 E pule aku no ia i ke Akua, a e oluolu no oia ia ia: A e ike aku ia i kona maka me ka hauoli; A e hoihoi aku no ia no ke kanaka i kona pono.
And he shall pray to the Lord, and his prayer shall be accepted of him; he shall enter with a cheerful countenance, with a full expression [of praise]: for he will render to men [their] due.
27 E nana mai no ia i na kanaka, A e olelo iho kekahi, Ua hewa au, A ua hookahuli au i ka pono, aole nae i hooukuia mai au;
Even then a man shall blame himself, saying, What kind of things have I done? and he has not punished me according to the full amount of my sins.
28 E hoopakele no ia i kona uhane mai ka hele ana i ka lua, A e ike kona mau maka i ka malamalama.
Deliver my soul, that it may not go to destruction, and my life shall see the light.
29 Aia hoi, o keia mau mea a pau i hana pinepine ai ke Akua me ke kanaka,
Behold, all these things, the Mighty One works in a threefold manner with a man.
30 E hoihoi mai i kona uhane mai ka lua mai, E hoomalamalamaia i ka malamalama o ka poe e ola ana.
And he has delivered my soul from death, that my life may praise him in the light.
31 E haliu mai oe, e Ioba, e hoolohe mai ia'u: E noho malie, a na'u e olelo aku.
Listen, Job, and hear me: be silent, and I will speak.
32 Ina he wahi mea, e ekemu mai oe ia'u, E olelo mai, no ka mea ke makemake nei au i kou hoaponoia.
If you have words, answer me: speak, for I desire you to be justified.
33 A i ole hoi, e hoolohe mai oe ia'u, E noho malie, a e ao aku au ia oe i ka noeau.
If not, do you hear me: be silent, and I will teach you.
