Job 35
1 And Elihu answereth and saith: —
OLELO aku la hoi o Elihu, i aku la,
2 This hast thou reckoned for judgment: 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 sayest, 'What doth it profit Thee! What do I profit 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 return thee words, and thy friends with thee,
Owau ke hoihoi aku ia olelo iou la, A i kou mau hoalauna me oe.
5 Behold attentively the heavens — and see, And behold the clouds, They have been 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 dost thou against Him? And thy transgressions have been multiplied, What dost thou 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 thou hast been righteous, What dost thou give to Him? Or what from thy hand doth He receive?
Ina ua pono oe, heaha kau e haawi aku ai ia ia? Heaha kana e loaa'i mai kou lima aku?
8 For a man like thyself [is] thy wickedness, And for a son of man thy righteousness.
No ke kanaka e like me oe kou hala, A no ke keiki a ke kanaka kou pono.
9 Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because 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 And none said, 'Where [is] God my maker? Giving 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 Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Yea, than the fowl of the heavens He maketh us wiser.'
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, and He doth not answer, Because of the pride of evil doers.
Malaila lakou e uwe ai, aole mea i ekemu mai, No ka haaheo o ka poe hewa.
13 Surely vanity God doth not hear, And the Mighty doth not behold it.
He oiaio, aole ke Akua e hoolohe mai i ka mea wahahee, Aole ka Mea mana e maliu mai ia.
14 Yea, though thou sayest thou dost not behold Him, Judgment [is] before Him, and stay 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, because there is not, He hath appointed His anger, And He hath not known in great extremity.
Ano hoi, he mea ole ka hoopai ana o kona inaina, Aole ia e haka pono mai i na hewa;
16 And Job [with] vanity doth open his mouth, Without knowledge words he multiplieth.
Nolaila i oaka hewa mai ai ko Ioba waha, He hoonui olelo kana me ko ike ole.
