< 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 ceased to answer 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.
Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu, the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram; against Job was his wrath kindled, because he accounted himself righteous 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.
Against his three friends also was his wrath kindled, because they had not found an answer, and yet had condemned 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.
Now Elihu had delayed to reply to Job, because they were older than himself.
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 Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath 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.
Then spake Elihu, the son of Barachel, the Buzite, and said: I am young, and ye are very old; Therefore I was afraid, And durst not make known to you my opinion.
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 said, “Days should speak, And the multitude of 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 it is the spirit in man, Even the inspiration of the Almighty, that giveth him understanding.
9 Aole naauao na elemakule; Aole hoi e ike ka poe kahiko i ka hooponopono ana.
Great men are not always wise, Nor do the aged always understand what is right.
10 Nolaila i iho la au, E hoolohe mai ia'u; E hoike aku no hoi au i ko'u manao.
Therefore, I pray, listen to me: I also will declare my opinion.
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.
Behold, I have waited for your words, I have listened to your arguments, Whilst ye searched out what to say;
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;
Yea, I have attended to you; And behold, none of you hath refuted Job, Nor answered his words.
13 O olelo auanei oukou, Ua loaa ia makou ke akamai: Na ke Akua i hooauhee ia ia, aole na ke kanaka.
Say not, then, “We have found out wisdom; God must conquer him, not man.”
14 Aole ia i olelo ku e mai ia'u; Aole no hoi au e olelo aku ia ia me ka oukou mau olelo.
He hath not directed his discourse against me, And with speeches like yours will I not answer him.
15 Ua pilipu lakou, aole lakou i ekemu hou mai: A hooki iho lakou i ka olelo ana.
They were confounded! they answered no more! They could say nothing!
16 A ua kakali aku au, (no ka mea, aole lakou i olelo mai, aka, ku malie iho la, aole i ekemu hou mai; )
I waited, but they spake not; They stood still; they answered no more!
17 Owau no kekahi e olelo aku i ka'u wahi, E hoike aku hoi au i ko'u manao.
Therefore will I answer, on my part; I also will show my opinion.
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 matter; The spirit within me constraineth 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 bosom is as wine that hath no vent; Like bottles of new wine, which are bursting.
20 E olelo aku no au, i oluolu iho ai au; E wehe ae au i kuu lehelehe, a e ekemu aku.
I will speak, that I may be relieved; I will open my lips and answer.
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 be partial to any man's person, 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 know not how to flatter; Soon would my Maker take me away.
