Job 35
1 And Elihu made answer and said,
OLELO aku la hoi o Elihu, i aku la,
2 Does it seem to you to be right, and righteousness before God, to say,
Ke manao nei oe he pono keia, O kau i olelo mai, O ko'u pono, ua oi mamua o ko ke Akua?
3 What profit is it to me, and how am I better off than if I had done wrong?
No ka mea, ua ninau mai oe, Heaha ka pono no'u? Heaha hoi ko'u pomaikai no kuu hewa ole ana?
4 I will make answer to you and to your friends:
Owau ke hoihoi aku ia olelo iou la, A i kou mau hoalauna me oe.
5 Let your eyes be turned to the heavens, and lifted up to see the skies; they are 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 have done wrong, is he any the worse for it? and if your sins are great in number, what is it to him?
Ina e hana hewa oe, heaha kau hana ia ia? Ina e hoonuiia kou mau hala, heaha kau e hana'i nana?
7 If you are upright, what do you give to him? or what does he take 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 evil-doing may have an effect on a man like yourself, or your righteousness on a son of man.
No ke kanaka e like me oe kou hala, A no ke keiki a ke kanaka kou pono.
9 Because the hand of the cruel is hard on them, men are making sounds of grief; they are crying out for help because of the arm of the strong.
Ke uwe ae nei ka poe kaumaha no ka hooluhiia; I uwe lakou no ka lima o na mea koikoi.
10 But no one has said, Where is God my Maker, who gives 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 gives us more knowledge than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the heaven?
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 are crying out because of the pride of the evil-doers, but he gives them no answer.
Malaila lakou e uwe ai, aole mea i ekemu mai, No ka haaheo o ka poe hewa.
13 But God will not give ear to what is false, or the Ruler of all take note of it;
He oiaio, aole ke Akua e hoolohe mai i ka mea wahahee, Aole ka Mea mana e maliu mai ia.
14 How much less when you say that you do not see him; that the cause is before him, and you are waiting 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 And now ...;
Ano hoi, he mea ole ka hoopai ana o kona inaina, Aole ia e haka pono mai i na hewa;
16 And Job's mouth is open wide to give out what is of no profit, increasing words without knowledge.
Nolaila i oaka hewa mai ai ko Ioba waha, He hoonui olelo kana me ko ike ole.
