Ioba 32
1 HOOKI iho la keia mau kanaka ekolu i ka olelo aku ia Ioba, no ka mea, ua pono ia i kona maka iho.
And his three friends also ceased any longer to answer Job: for Job was righteous before them.
2 Alaila hoaia ka inaina o Elihu ke keiki a Barakela o ka Buza, no ka ohana a Rama; ia Ioba i hoaia'i kona inaina, no kona hoapono ia ia iho mamua o ke Akua.
Then Elius the son of Barachiel, the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, of the country of Ausis, was angered: and he was very angry with Job, because he justified himself before the Lord.
3 I kona mau hoalauna ekolu hoi ua hoaia'i kona inaina, no ka mea, aole i loaa ia lakou ka mea e ekemu aku ai, ua hoahewa no nae lakou ia Ioba.
And he was also very angry with [his] three friends, because they were not able to return answers to Job, yet set him down for an ungodly man.
4 A ua kali aku o Elihu ia Ioba i na olelo, no ka mea, ua oi aku ko lakou mau makahiki mamua ona.
But Elius had forborne to give an answer to Job, because they were older than he.
5 A ike aku la o Elihu, aohe mea ma ka waha o keia mau kanaka ekolu e ekemu aku ai, alaila hoaia kona inaina.
And Elius saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men; and he was angered in his wrath.
6 Olelo aku la o Elihu, ke keiki a Barakela ka Buza, i aku la, He hapa ko'u mau la, a he poe kahiko oukou; Nolaila hopohopo no wau, a makau hoi i ka hoike aku i ko'u manao ia oukou.
And Elius the Buzite the son of Barachiel answered and said, I am younger in age, and ye are elder, wherefore I kept silence, fearing to declare to you my own knowledge.
7 I iho la au, E olelo mai ka poe kahiko e pono ai, A e hoike ka poe nona na makahiki he nui i ka naauao.
And I said, It is not time that speaks, though in many years [men] know wisdom:
8 He oiaio, o ka Uhane no iloko o ke kanaka: A o ka hanu o ka Mea mana ua hoonaauao ia ia.
but there is a spirit in mortals; and the inspiration of the Almighty is that which teaches.
9 Aole naauao na elemakule; Aole hoi e ike ka poe kahiko i ka hooponopono ana.
The long-lived are not wise [as such]; neither do the aged know judgment.
10 Nolaila i iho la au, E hoolohe mai ia'u; E hoike aku no hoi au i ko'u manao.
Wherefore I said, Hear me, and I will tell you what I know.
11 Aia hoi, ua kali aku au i ka oukou mau olelo, A hoolohe au i ko oukou hoomoakaka ana, I ka manawa i imi ai oukou i na olelo.
Hearken to my words; for I will speak in your hearing, until ye shall have tried [the matter] with words:
12 A ua noonoo au i ka oukou, Aia hoi, aole kekahi o oukou i pane pono aku ia Ioba, A i hoohee aku i kana olelo;
and I shall understand as far as you; and, behold, there was no one of you that answered Job his words in argument,
13 O olelo auanei oukou, Ua loaa ia makou ke akamai: Na ke Akua i hooauhee ia ia, aole na ke kanaka.
lest ye should say, We have found that we have added wisdom to the Lord.
14 Aole ia i olelo ku e mai ia'u; Aole no hoi au e olelo aku ia ia me ka oukou mau olelo.
And ye have commissioned a man to speak such words.
15 Ua pilipu lakou, aole lakou i ekemu hou mai: A hooki iho lakou i ka olelo ana.
They were afraid, they answered no longer; they gave up their speaking.
16 A ua kakali aku au, (no ka mea, aole lakou i olelo mai, aka, ku malie iho la, aole i ekemu hou mai; )
I waited, (for I had not spoken, ) because they stood still, they answered not.
17 Owau no kekahi e olelo aku i ka'u wahi, E hoike aku hoi au i ko'u manao.
And Elius continued, and said, I will again speak,
18 No ka mea, ua piha au i na olelo, Ke koi mai nei ia'u ka uhane iloko o'u.
for I am full of words, for the spirit of my belly destroys me.
19 Aia hoi, o ko'u opu ua like ia me ka waina i wehe ole ia; E nahae auanei ia e like me na hue ili hou.
And my belly is as a skin of sweet wine, bound up [and] ready to burst; or as a brazier's labouring bellows.
20 E olelo aku no au, i oluolu iho ai au; E wehe ae au i kuu lehelehe, a e ekemu aku.
I will speak, that I may open my lips and relieve myself.
21 Ke noi aku nei au, mai ae mai oukou i kuu nana ana ma ko ke kanaka helehelena, Aole hoi au e malimali aku i ke kanaka.
For truly I will not be awed because of man, nor indeed will I be confounded before a mortal.
22 No ka mea, aole au i ike e malimali wale aku; E lawe koke aku ia'u ko'u Mea nana i hana.
For I know not how to respect persons: and if otherwise, even the moths would eat me.
