Job 35
1 After this, Eliu again spoke in this way:
OLELO aku la hoi o Elihu, i aku la,
2 Does it seem right to you in your thoughts, that you should say, “I am more just than God?”
Ke manao nei oe he pono keia, O kau i olelo mai, O ko'u pono, ua oi mamua o ko ke Akua?
3 For you said, “Having done what is right does not please you,” and, “How will it benefit you, if I sin?”
No ka mea, ua ninau mai oe, Heaha ka pono no'u? Heaha hoi ko'u pomaikai no kuu hewa ole ana?
4 And so, I will respond to your words, and to your friends who are with you.
Owau ke hoihoi aku ia olelo iou la, A i kou mau hoalauna me oe.
5 Look up towards heaven and consider; also, think about the sky, which is higher than you.
E nana ae oe i ka lani, a ike; A e nana i na ao, ua kiekie lakou mamua ou.
6 If you sin, how will it hurt him? And if your iniquities are multiplied, what will you do against him?
Ina e hana hewa oe, heaha kau hana ia ia? Ina e hoonuiia kou mau hala, heaha kau e hana'i nana?
7 Furthermore, if you act justly, what will you give him, or what will he receive from your hand?
Ina ua pono oe, heaha kau e haawi aku ai ia ia? Heaha kana e loaa'i mai kou lima aku?
8 Your impiety may hurt a man who is like you, though your justice may help the son of the man.
No ke kanaka e like me oe kou hala, A no ke keiki a ke kanaka kou pono.
9 Because of the multitude of false accusers, they will cry out; and they will lament because of the strong arm of the tyrants.
Ke uwe ae nei ka poe kaumaha no ka hooluhiia; I uwe lakou no ka lima o na mea koikoi.
10 Yet he has not said: “Where is God, who made me, who has given songs in the night,
Aka, aole e i mai kekahi, Auhea ke Akua nana au i hana, Ka mea i haawi mai i na mele olioli i ka po;
11 who teaches us in addition to the beasts of the earth, and who educates us along with the birds of the air?”
O 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?
12 There they will cry, and he will not heed them, because of the arrogance of the wicked.
Malaila lakou e uwe ai, aole mea i ekemu mai, No ka haaheo o ka poe hewa.
13 Therefore, God does not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into each and every case.
He oiaio, aole ke Akua e hoolohe mai i ka mea wahahee, Aole ka Mea mana e maliu mai ia.
14 And so, when you say, “He does not examine,” be judged before him, but wait for him.
Ina paha e olelo oe, aole oe i ike ia ia, Imua ona ka hooponopono, nolaila e kali aku oe ia ia.
15 For, at the present time, he does not bring forth his fury, nor does he punish sin exceedingly.
Ano hoi, he mea ole ka hoopai ana o kona inaina, Aole ia e haka pono mai i na hewa;
16 Therefore, Job has opened his mouth in vain and has multiplied words without knowledge.
Nolaila i oaka hewa mai ai ko Ioba waha, He hoonui olelo kana me ko ike ole.
