Ioba 34
1 A OLELO aku o Elihu, i aku la,
And Elius continued, and said,
2 E hoolohe mai oukou ia'u, e ka poe akamai, E haliu mai i ka pepeiao ia'u, e ka poe ike:
Hear me, you wise men; listen, you that have knowledge.
3 No ka mea, ke hoao nei ka pepeiao i na olelo, E like me ke kileo i hoao i ka ai.
For the ear tries words, and the mouth tastes meat.
4 E hoao kakou i ka hooponopono no kakou iho; E ike kakou iwaena o kakou i ka mea maikai.
Let us choose judgment to ourselves: let us know amount ourselves what is right.
5 No ka mea, ua i mai o Ioba, Ua pono wau: A ua lawe aku ke Akua i kuu hoaponoia.
For Job has said, I am righteous: the Lord has removed my judgment.
6 E hoopunipuni anei au i kuu pono? O kuu eha me ka hala ole, aole e hoolaia.
And he has erred in my judgment: my wound is severe without unrighteousness [of mine].
7 Owai ke kanaka e like me Ioba; Ka mea inu i ka olelo hoino me he wai la,
What man is as Job, drinking scorning like water?
8 Ka mea e hele pu ana me ka poe e hana ana i ka hewa, E hele ana hoi me na kanaka aia?
[saying], I have not sinned, nor committed ungodliness, nor had fellowship with workers of iniquity, to go with the ungodly.
9 No ka mea, ua i mai ia, Aohe o ke kanaka mea e pono ai, I kona launa pu ana me ke Akua.
For you should not say, There shall be no visitation of a man, whereas [there is] a visitation on him from the Lord.
10 Nolaila 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:
Therefore hear me, you that are wise in heart: far be it from me to sin before the Lord, and to pervert righteousness before the almighty.
11 No 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.
Yes, he renders to a man accordingly as each of them does, and in a man's path he will find him.
12 He oiaio no, aole ke Akua e hana i ka hewa, Aole hoi ka Mea mana e hookahuli i ka pono.
And think you that the Lord will do wrong, or will the Almighty who made the earth wrest judgment?
13 Owai ka i haawi ia ia i ka honua? A owai ka i hoonoho i ko ke ao nei a pau?
And who is he that made [the whole world] under heaven, and all things therein?
14 Ina 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;
For if he would confine, and restrain his spirit with himself;
15 E make pu auanei na io a pau, A e hoi hou aku ke kanaka i ka lepo.
all flesh would die together, and every mortal would return to the earth, whence also he was formed.
16 A ina he naauao kou, e hoolohe mai i keia; E haliu mai i ka leo o ka'u olelo.
Take heed lest he rebuke [you]: hear this, listen to the voice of words.
17 E alii anei ka mea hoowahawaha i ka pono? A e hoahewa anei oe i ka mea pono loa?
Behold then the one that hates iniquities, and that destroys the wicked, who is for ever just.
18 He pono anei e olelo i ke alii, He hewa kou? A i na'lii, He pono ole oukou?
[He is] ungodly that says to a king, You are a transgressor, [that says] to princes, O most ungodly one.
19 Pehea 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.
[Such a one] as would not reverence the face of an honorable man, neither knows how to give honor to the great, so as that their persons should be respected.
20 E 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.
But it shall turn out vanity to them, to cry and beseech a man; for they dealt unlawfully, the poor being turned aside [from their right].
21 No ka mea, aia no kona mau maka maluna o na aoao o ke kanaka, A ua nana no i kona mau kapuwai a pau.
For he surveys the works of men, and nothing of what they do has escaped him.
22 Aohe pouli, aohe malu make, Kahi e pee ai ka poe e hana ana i ka hewa.
Neither shall there be a place for the workers of iniquity to hide themselves.
23 No ka mea, aole ia e noonoo nui i ka ke kanaka, E kai aku ia ia imua o ke Akua ma ka hookolokolo ana.
For he will not lay upon a man more [than right].
24 E ulupa oia i na'lii me ka noonoo ole, A e hooku i na mea e ae ma ko lakou hakahaka.
For the Lord looks down upon all men, who comprehends unsearchable things, glorious also and excellent things without number.
25 Nolaila, ua ike no ia i ka lakou mau hana, A e hookahuli oia ia lakou i ka po, a e hehiia lakou ilalo.
Who discovers their works, and will bring night about [upon them], and they shall be brought low.
26 Hoopai no ia ia lakou, no ka mea, ua hewa lakou, Ma kahi o ka poe e nana mai ana;
And he quite destroys the ungodly, for they are seen before him.
27 No ka mea, ua huli ae lakou mai ona aku la, Aole lakou i noonoo i kona mau aoao a pau.
Because they turned aside from the law of God, and did not regard his ordinances,
28 Nolaila, 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.
so as to bring before him the cry of the needy; for he will hear the cry of the poor.
29 A 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:
And he will give quiet, and who will condemn? and he will hide his face, and who shall see him? whether [it be done] against a nation, or against a man also:
30 I alii ole ai ke kanaka aia, O hihia auanei na kanaka.
causing a hypocrite to be king, because of the waywardness of the people.
31 He pono no e olelo aku oe i ke Akua, Ua hoopaiia wau, aole au e hana hewa hou aku.
For [there is] one that says to the Mighty One, I have received [blessings]; I will not take a pledge:
32 O 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.
I will see apart from myself: do you show me if I have done unrighteousness; I will not do [so] any more.
33 Ma 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.
Will he take vengeance for it on you, whereas you will put [it] far [from you]? for you shall choose, and not I; and what you know, speak you.
34 O na kanaka naauao e olelo mai ia'u, A me ke kanaka akamai e hoolohe mai ia'u.
Because the wise in heart shall say this, and a wise man listens to my word.
35 Ua olelo mai o Ioba me ka ike ole, A o kana mau olelo, aole me ka naauao.
But Job has not spoken with understanding, his words are not [uttered] with knowledge.
36 O kuu makemake, e hoaoia o Ioba a i ka hopena, No kana mau olelo e like me ka na kanaka hewa.
Howbeit do you learn, Job: no longer make answer as the foolish:
37 No 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.
that we add not to our sins: for iniquity will be reckoned against us, if [we] speak many words before the Lord.
