Job 35
1 Moreover Elihu answered and said:
OLELO aku la hoi o Elihu, i aku la,
2 Thinkest thou this to be thy right, or sayest thou: 'I am righteousness before 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 That thou inquirest: 'What advantage will it be unto Thee?' And: 'What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?'
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 give thee answer, and thy companions with thee.
Owau ke hoihoi aku ia olelo iou la, A i kou mau hoalauna me oe.
5 Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the skies, which are higher than thou.
E nana ae oe i ka lani, a ike; A e nana i na ao, ua kiekie lakou mamua ou.
6 If thou hast sinned, what doest thou against Him? And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto 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 thou be righteous, what givest thou Him? Or what receiveth He of thy hand?
Ina ua pono oe, heaha kau e haawi aku ai ia ia? Heaha kana e loaa'i mai kou lima aku?
8 Thy wickedness concerneth a man as thou art; and thy righteousness a son of man.
No ke kanaka e like me oe kou hala, A no ke keiki a ke kanaka kou pono.
9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; they cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.
Ke uwe ae nei ka poe kaumaha no ka hooluhiia; I uwe lakou no ka lima o na mea koikoi.
10 But none saith: 'Where is God my Maker, who giveth 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 teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of 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 cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.
Malaila lakou e uwe ai, aole mea i ekemu mai, No ka haaheo o ka poe hewa.
13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
He oiaio, aole ke Akua e hoolohe mai i ka mea wahahee, Aole ka Mea mana e maliu mai ia.
14 Yea, when thou sayest thou canst not see Him — the cause is before Him; therefore wait thou 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, is it for nought that He punished in His anger? And hath He not full knowledge of arrogance?
Ano hoi, he mea ole ka hoopai ana o kona inaina, Aole ia e haka pono mai i na hewa;
16 But Job doth open his mouth in vanity; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
Nolaila i oaka hewa mai ai ko Ioba waha, He hoonui olelo kana me ko ike ole.
