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.
Job's three friends stopped responding to him because he kept on protesting his innocence.
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.
Then Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, grew angry. He was angry with Job for claiming he was right 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.
Elihu was also angry at Job's three friends because they made it seem that God was wrong, because they had not been able to answer Job.
4 A ua kali aku o Elihu ia Ioba i na olelo, no ka mea, ua oi aku ko lakou mau makahiki mamua ona.
Elihu had waited to for the other three to speak with Job since they were older than he was.
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 they could not answer Job, he grew very angry.
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.
Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, said, “I am young, and you are old, which is why I was reluctant 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 told myself, ‘Those who are older should speak—those who are elderly 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.
However, there is a spirit in human beings, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding.
9 Aole naauao na elemakule; Aole hoi e ike ka poe kahiko i ka hooponopono ana.
It is not the old who are wise, or the elderly who know what is right.
10 Nolaila i iho la au, E hoolohe mai ia'u; E hoike aku no hoi au i ko'u manao.
That's why I'm telling you to listen to me now—let me tell you 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.
Well, I waited to hear what you had to say, listening for your insights as you looked for the right words to speak.
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 close attention to all of you, and none of you have proved Job wrong or answered his arguments.
13 O olelo auanei oukou, Ua loaa ia makou ke akamai: Na ke Akua i hooauhee ia ia, aole na ke kanaka.
Don't say to yourselves, ‘We are so wise,’ for God will prove him wrong, not a human being.
14 Aole ia i olelo ku e mai ia'u; Aole no hoi au e olelo aku ia ia me ka oukou mau olelo.
Job didn't line up his arguments against me, and I won't answer him the way you did.
15 Ua pilipu lakou, aole lakou i ekemu hou mai: A hooki iho lakou i ka olelo ana.
You sit there speechless with nothing left to say.
16 A ua kakali aku au, (no ka mea, aole lakou i olelo mai, aka, ku malie iho la, aole i ekemu hou mai; )
Should I continue to wait since you're no longer talking, just standing there saying nothing?
17 Owau no kekahi e olelo aku i ka'u wahi, E hoike aku hoi au i ko'u manao.
No—now I'll give my answer too. I'll tell you what I know.
18 No ka mea, ua piha au i na olelo, Ke koi mai nei ia'u ka uhane iloko o'u.
I have so much to say I can't hold the words back!
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.
Inside I'm like fermenting wine all bottled up; like new wineskins ready to explode!
20 E olelo aku no au, i oluolu iho ai au; E wehe ae au i kuu lehelehe, a e ekemu aku.
I have to speak before I burst; I will open my lips to answer him.
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 not take sides, and I'm not going to flatter anyone.
22 No ka mea, aole au i ike e malimali wale aku; E lawe koke aku ia'u ko'u Mea nana i hana.
I don't know how to flatter, and if I did my Creator would soon destroy me.
