Job 36
1 Elihu also proceeded, and said,
OLELO hou aku la o Elihu, i aku la,
2 Allow 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.) He who 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 does not despise. 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 does not preserve the life of the wicked, but gives 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 does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but he sets them forever with kings upon the throne, 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 afflictions,
A ina e hoopaaia lakou i na kaulahao, A e hoopaaia lakou i ke kaula o ka popilikia;
9 then he shows 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 also opens their ear to instruction, and commands 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 do not hearken, 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 those who are godless in heart lay up anger. They do not cry for help when he binds 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 perishes 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 delivers the afflicted by their affliction, and opens 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 confinement, 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 have fulfilled the judgment of the wicked. Judgment and justice take hold,
Aka, i lawe paha oe i ka hewa o ka mea aia, O ka hoohewa, a me ka hoopai e hahai mai.
18 and there shall be wrath upon the impious because of the ungodliness of bribes which the unrighteous receive.
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 not avail in distress, or all the forces of strength?
E manao anei oia i kou waiwai? Aole! aole ke gula, aole hoi na mea waiwai a pau.
20 Do not desire 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. Do not turn to iniquity, for thou have fixed on this because of 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 does loftily in his power. Who is a teacher like him?
Aia hoi, o ke Akua ke hookiekie ma kona mana, Owai ke ao aku e like me ia?
23 Who has enjoined him his way? Or who can say, Thou have 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, of which 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 on it. Man beholds it afar off.
E ike na kanaka a pau ia; E nana ke kanaka mai kahi loihi.
26 Behold, God is great, and we do not know him. 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 draws 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 spreads his light around him, and he covers 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 judges the peoples. He gives 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 covers his hands with the lightning, and gives it a command 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 of it tells concerning him. The cattle also concerning the storm that comes up.
I kuhikuhi aku ia ia ia i kona mau makamaka; Aia ka ahu ana o ka huhu maluna o ka mea hewa.
