Job 35
1 Moreover Elihu, responded and said: —
OLELO aku la hoi o Elihu, i aku la,
2 This, dost thou think to be right? Thou hast said—My righteousness is more than GOD’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 dost say, How can one profit by thee? How can I benefit, more than by 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 plainly, and thy friends with thee.
Owau ke hoihoi aku ia olelo iou la, A i kou mau hoalauna me oe.
5 Look at the heavens and see, —and survey the skies—they 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 canst thou work against him? Or, if thy transgressions be multiplied, what canst thou do 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 art righteous, what canst thou give unto him? Or what, at thy hand, can he accept?
Ina ua pono oe, heaha kau e haawi aku ai ia ia? Heaha kana e loaa'i mai kou lima aku?
8 Unto a man like thyself, might thy lawlessness [reach], and, unto a son of the earth-born, thy righteousness.
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, [men] make outcry, 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, beyond the bird of the heavens, giveth us wisdom?
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, [men] make outcry, and he answereth not, because of the arrogance of evil-doers.
Malaila lakou e uwe ai, aole mea i ekemu mai, No ka haaheo o ka poe hewa.
13 Howbeit, vanity, will GOD not hear, Yea, the Almighty, will not regard 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 thou sayest thou wilt not regard him! The cause, is before him, and thou must wait 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 But, now, because it is not so, [thou sayest] —His anger hath punished, and yet hath he not at all known of transgression;
Ano hoi, he mea ole ka hoopai ana o kona inaina, Aole ia e haka pono mai i na hewa;
16 Thus, Job, vainly openeth his mouth, Without knowledge, he multiplieth words.
Nolaila i oaka hewa mai ai ko Ioba waha, He hoonui olelo kana me ko ike ole.
