Job 36
1 Elihu also proceeded, and said,
OLELO hou aku la o Elihu, i aku la,
2 Suffer me a little, and I will show thee; For I have yet somewhat to say on God’s behalf.
E 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.
3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, And will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
E lawe mai no au i kuu ike mai kahi loihi mai, A e hoapono aku au i kuu mea nana i hana.
4 For truly my words are not false: One that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.
No ka mea, aole e wahahee ka'u olelo; O ka mea hemolele i ka ike, oia me oe.
5 Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: He is mighty in strength of understanding.
Aia hoi, he mana ke Akua, aole ia e hoowahawaha: He mana kona, he ikaika ka naauao.
6 He preserveth not the life of the wicked, But giveth to the afflicted [their] right.
Aole ia e hoopomaikai i ka aia: Aka, e haawi no ia i ka pono no na ilihune.
7 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: But with kings upon the throne He setteth them for ever, and they are exalted.
Aole 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.
8 And if they be bound in fetters, And be taken in the cords of affliction;
A ina e hoopaaia lakou i na kaulahao, A e hoopaaia lakou i ke kaula o ka popilikia;
9 Then he showeth them their work, And their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.
Alaila hoike no ia ia lakou i ka lakou hana, A me ko lakou hewa, no ka mea, ua hana kiekie lakou.
10 He openeth also their ear to instruction, And commandeth that they return from iniquity.
Wehe ae no ia i ko lakou pepeiao no ke ao ana, A olelo aku e huli mai lakou mai ka hewa mai.
11 If they hearken and serve [him], They shall spend their days in prosperity, And their years in pleasures.
Ina 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.
12 But if they hearken not, they shall perish by the sword, And they shall die without knowledge.
Aka, i hoolohe ole lakou, e make lakou i ka pahikaua, A e make lakou iloko o ka naaupo.
13 But they that are godless in heart lay up anger: They cry not for help when he bindeth them.
A 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.
14 They die in youth, And their life [perisheth] among the unclean.
E make no lakou i ka wa ui, A ua pau ko lakou ola ana iwaena o ka poe haumia.
15 He delivereth the afflicted by their affliction, And openeth their ear in oppression.
Hoopakele no ia i ka mea hune i kona popilikia, A wehe ae ia i ko lakou pepeiao i ka wa kaumaha.
16 Yea, he would have allured thee out of distress Into a broad place, where there is no straitness; And that which is set on thy table would be full of fatness.
A 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 thou art full of the judgment of the wicked: Judgment and justice take hold [on thee].
Aka, i lawe paha oe i ka hewa o ka mea aia, O ka hoohewa, a me ka hoopai e hahai mai.
18 For let not wrath stir thee up against chastisements; Neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside.
No 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.
19 Will thy cry avail, [that thou be] not in distress, Or all the forces of [thy] strength?
E manao anei oia i kou waiwai? Aole! aole ke gula, aole hoi na mea waiwai a pau.
20 Desire not the night, When peoples are cut off in their place.
Mai iini oe i ka po, I ka wa i okiia'i na kanaka mai ko lakou wahi.
21 Take heed, regard not iniquity: For this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
E makaala, mai malama oe i ka hewa: No ka mea, ua koho aku oe i keia mamua o ka popilikia.
22 Behold, God doeth loftily in his power: Who is a teacher like unto him?
Aia hoi, o ke Akua ke hookiekie ma kona mana, Owai ke ao aku e like me ia?
23 Who hath enjoined him his way? Or who can say, Thou hast wrought unrighteousness?
Owai la i kuhikuhi aku ia ia i kona aoao? Owai la ke olelo aku, Ua hana oe i ka hewa?
24 Remember that thou magnify his work, Whereof men have sung.
E hoomanao, e hoonui aku oe i kana hana, Ka mea a na kanaka i ike ai.
25 All men have looked thereon; Man beholdeth it afar off.
E ike na kanaka a pau ia; E nana ke kanaka mai kahi loihi.
26 Behold, God is great, and we know him not; The number of his years is unsearchable.
Aia hoi, he nui ke Akua, aole kakou i ike, A o ka heluna o na makahiki ona, aole e huliia.
27 For he draweth up the drops of water, Which distil in rain from his vapor,
No ka mea, ua hoopii aku ia i na kulu wai; Ninini iho lakou he ua, noloko o kona ohu,
28 Which the skies pour down And drop upon man abundantly.
Ka mea a na naulu i hookulukulu iho ai, A ninini nui maluna o ke kanaka.
29 Yea, can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, The thunderings of his pavilion?
E hoomaopopo anei kekahi i ka hohola ana o na ao? A me ka halulu ana o kona halelewa?
30 Behold, he spreadeth his light around him; And he covereth the bottom of the sea.
Aia hoi, hohola aku no ia i kona malamalama maluna ona, A uhi no ia i ka hohonu o ke kai.
31 For by these he judgeth the peoples; He giveth food in abundance.
No ka mea, ma o lakou la ke hooponopono nei ia i na kanaka; Ke haawi nei ia i ka ai a nui loa.
32 He covereth his hands with the lightning, And giveth it a charge that it strike the mark.
Me na poho lima ke uhi no ia i ka uila, A kauoha aku ia ia i kona wahi e kau ai:
33 The noise thereof telleth concerning him, The cattle also concerning [the storm] that cometh up.
I kuhikuhi aku ia ia ia i kona mau makamaka; Aia ka ahu ana o ka huhu maluna o ka mea hewa.
