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.
Then those three men stopped answering Job, because [they could not convince Job that he was wrong in claiming that] he had not done anything that was wrong.
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, a descendant of Buz, from the clan of Ram, became very angry at Job. He was angry because Job continued to claim that he was righteous/innocent, and that God was wrong [to punish him].
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.
He was also angry with Job’s three friends, because they had declared that Job must have done many things that were wrong, but they were unable to convince Job [that what they said was true]. As a result, [it seemed to Elihu that] God did what was wrong by punishing 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 was younger than the others, so he waited [until they had finished speaking] before he replied to Job.
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 realized that the three men had no more to say [MTY] to Job, he became 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.
And this is what he said: “I am young, and you all are much older than I am. So, I was timid, and I was afraid to tell you what I was thinking.
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, ‘Let those [PRS] who are much older speak, because older people [should be able to] say things that are wise.’
8 He oiaio, o ka Uhane no iloko o ke kanaka: A o ka hanu o ka Mea mana ua hoonaauao ia ia.
But the Spirit of Almighty [God] is within people, and it is he who enables them to be wise.
9 Aole naauao na elemakule; Aole hoi e ike ka poe kahiko i ka hooponopono ana.
It is not people becoming old that enables them to be wise; not [all] old people 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.
“So, I say, ‘Listen to me, and allow me to say what I think.’
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.
I waited for you all to speak; I wanted to hear the wise things that you would say. I waited while you thought carefully about what [would be the right things] 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;
I paid attention carefully, but surprisingly, none of you were able to prove that what Job said was wrong.
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 say [to yourselves], ‘We have discovered what is wise!’ It is God who must (refute Job/show that what Job said was wrong), because you three have not been able to do that.
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 was replying to you, [not to me], but I will not reply to him by saying what you three said.
15 Ua pilipu lakou, aole lakou i ekemu hou mai: A hooki iho lakou i ka olelo ana.
“You three are dismayed [because you have not been able to convince him that he was wrong], so you are not saying any more to him [DOU].
16 A ua kakali aku au, (no ka mea, aole lakou i olelo mai, aka, ku malie iho la, aole i ekemu hou mai; )
But because you do not speak, I certainly will not wait any longer [RHQ]; you merely stand there and do not reply any more.
17 Owau no kekahi e olelo aku i ka'u wahi, E hoike aku hoi au i ko'u manao.
So [now] I also will reply [to Job] and say what I think.
18 No ka mea, ua piha au i na olelo, Ke koi mai nei ia'u ka uhane iloko o'u.
I have plenty to say, and my spirit compels me to say it.
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.
My inner being is like [SIM] a (wineskin/bag that has (new/fermenting) wine in it), and it will soon burst.
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 [MTY], in order that I do not have to keep holding what I want to say; I must say something [MTY] to reply [to you all].
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 speak [fairly], not favoring any of you, and I will not try 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 [really] do not know how to flatter people; and if I did that, God would soon get rid of me.”
