Job 35
1 Elihu spake moreover, and said,
OLELO aku la hoi o Elihu, i aku la,
2 Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than El's?
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 thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?
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 answer thee, 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 clouds 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 sinnest, what doest thou against him? or 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 thine 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 may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the 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 make the oppressed to cry: they cry out 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 Eloah 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 El 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 Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.
Ina paha e olelo oe, aole oe i ike ia ia, Imua ona ka hooponopono, nolaila e kali aku oe ia ia.
15 But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
Ano hoi, he mea ole ka hoopai ana o kona inaina, Aole ia e haka pono mai i na hewa;
16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
Nolaila i oaka hewa mai ai ko Ioba waha, He hoonui olelo kana me ko ike ole.
