Ioba 35
1 OLELO aku la hoi o Elihu, i aku la,
Elihu spake moreover, and said,
2 Ke manao nei oe he pono keia, O kau i olelo mai, O ko'u pono, ua oi mamua o ko ke Akua?
Thinkest thou this to be right, [that] thou saidst, My righteousness [is] more than God’s?
3 No ka mea, ua ninau mai oe, Heaha ka pono no'u? Heaha hoi ko'u pomaikai no kuu hewa ole ana?
For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? [and], What profit shall I have, [if I be cleansed] from my sin?
4 Owau ke hoihoi aku ia olelo iou la, A i kou mau hoalauna me oe.
I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
5 E nana ae oe i ka lani, a ike; A e nana i na ao, ua kiekie lakou mamua ou.
Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds [which] are higher than thou.
6 Ina e hana hewa oe, heaha kau hana ia ia? Ina e hoonuiia kou mau hala, heaha kau e hana'i nana?
If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or [if] thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
7 Ina ua pono oe, heaha kau e haawi aku ai ia ia? Heaha kana e loaa'i mai kou lima aku?
If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?
8 No ke kanaka e like me oe kou hala, A no ke keiki a ke kanaka kou pono.
Thy wickedness [may hurt] a man as thou [art; ] and thy righteousness [may profit] the son of man.
9 Ke uwe ae nei ka poe kaumaha no ka hooluhiia; I uwe lakou no ka lima o na mea koikoi.
By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make [the oppressed] to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
10 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;
But none saith, Where [is] God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;
11 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?
Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
12 Malaila lakou e uwe ai, aole mea i ekemu mai, No ka haaheo o ka poe hewa.
There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.
13 He oiaio, aole ke Akua e hoolohe mai i ka mea wahahee, Aole ka Mea mana e maliu mai ia.
Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
14 Ina paha e olelo oe, aole oe i ike ia ia, Imua ona ka hooponopono, nolaila e kali aku oe ia ia.
Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, [yet] judgment [is] before him; therefore trust thou in him.
15 Ano hoi, he mea ole ka hoopai ana o kona inaina, Aole ia e haka pono mai i na hewa;
But now, because [it is] not [so], he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth [it] not in great extremity:
16 Nolaila i oaka hewa mai ai ko Ioba waha, He hoonui olelo kana me ko ike ole.
Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
