Ioba 32
1 HOOKI iho la keia mau kanaka ekolu i ka olelo aku ia Ioba, no ka mea, ua pono ia i kona maka iho.
So these three men stopped answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2 Alaila hoaia ka inaina o Elihu ke keiki a Barakela o ka Buza, no ka ohana a Rama; ia Ioba i hoaia'i kona inaina, no kona hoapono ia ia iho mamua o ke Akua.
This kindled the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram. He burned with anger against Job for justifying himself rather than God,
3 I kona mau hoalauna ekolu hoi ua hoaia'i kona inaina, no ka mea, aole i loaa ia lakou ka mea e ekemu aku ai, ua hoahewa no nae lakou ia Ioba.
and he burned with anger against Job’s three friends because they had failed to refute Job, and yet had condemned him.
4 A ua kali aku o Elihu ia Ioba i na olelo, no ka mea, ua oi aku ko lakou mau makahiki mamua ona.
Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because the others were older than he.
5 A ike aku la o Elihu, aohe mea ma ka waha o keia mau kanaka ekolu e ekemu aku ai, alaila hoaia kona inaina.
But when he saw that the three men had no further reply, his anger was kindled.
6 Olelo aku la o Elihu, ke keiki a Barakela ka Buza, i aku la, He hapa ko'u mau la, a he poe kahiko oukou; Nolaila hopohopo no wau, a makau hoi i ka hoike aku i ko'u manao ia oukou.
So Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite declared: “I am young in years, while you are old; that is why I was timid and afraid to tell you what I know.
7 I iho la au, E olelo mai ka poe kahiko e pono ai, A e hoike ka poe nona na makahiki he nui i ka naauao.
I thought that age should speak, and many years should teach wisdom.
8 He oiaio, o ka Uhane no iloko o ke kanaka: A o ka hanu o ka Mea mana ua hoonaauao ia ia.
But there is a spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding.
9 Aole naauao na elemakule; Aole hoi e ike ka poe kahiko i ka hooponopono ana.
It is not only the old who are wise, or the elderly who understand justice.
10 Nolaila i iho la au, E hoolohe mai ia'u; E hoike aku no hoi au i ko'u manao.
Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me; I too will declare what I know.’
11 Aia hoi, ua kali aku au i ka oukou mau olelo, A hoolohe au i ko oukou hoomoakaka ana, I ka manawa i imi ai oukou i na olelo.
Indeed, I waited while you spoke; I listened to your reasoning; as you searched for words,
12 A ua noonoo au i ka oukou, Aia hoi, aole kekahi o oukou i pane pono aku ia Ioba, A i hoohee aku i kana olelo;
I paid you full attention. But no one proved Job wrong; not one of you rebutted his arguments.
13 O olelo auanei oukou, Ua loaa ia makou ke akamai: Na ke Akua i hooauhee ia ia, aole na ke kanaka.
So do not claim, ‘We have found wisdom; let God, not man, refute him.’
14 Aole ia i olelo ku e mai ia'u; Aole no hoi au e olelo aku ia ia me ka oukou mau olelo.
But Job has not directed his words against me, and I will not answer him with your arguments.
15 Ua pilipu lakou, aole lakou i ekemu hou mai: A hooki iho lakou i ka olelo ana.
Job’s friends are dismayed, with no more to say; words have escaped them.
16 A ua kakali aku au, (no ka mea, aole lakou i olelo mai, aka, ku malie iho la, aole i ekemu hou mai; )
Must I wait, now that they are silent, now that they stand and no longer reply?
17 Owau no kekahi e olelo aku i ka'u wahi, E hoike aku hoi au i ko'u manao.
I too will answer; yes, I will declare what I know.
18 No ka mea, ua piha au i na olelo, Ke koi mai nei ia'u ka uhane iloko o'u.
For I am full of words, and my spirit within me compels me.
19 Aia hoi, o ko'u opu ua like ia me ka waina i wehe ole ia; E nahae auanei ia e like me na hue ili hou.
Behold, my belly is like unvented wine; it is about to burst like a new wineskin.
20 E olelo aku no au, i oluolu iho ai au; E wehe ae au i kuu lehelehe, a e ekemu aku.
I must speak and find relief; I must open my lips and respond.
21 Ke noi aku nei au, mai ae mai oukou i kuu nana ana ma ko ke kanaka helehelena, Aole hoi au e malimali aku i ke kanaka.
I will be partial to no one, nor will I flatter any man.
22 No ka mea, aole au i ike e malimali wale aku; E lawe koke aku ia'u ko'u Mea nana i hana.
For I do not know how to flatter, or my Maker would remove me in an instant.
