Ioba 35
1 OLELO aku la hoi o Elihu, i aku la,
And Elihu answers and says:
2 Ke manao nei oe he pono keia, O kau i olelo mai, O ko'u pono, ua oi mamua o ko ke Akua?
“Have you reckoned this for judgment [when] you have said, 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 you say, What does it profit You? What do I profit from my sin?
4 Owau ke hoihoi aku ia olelo iou la, A i kou mau hoalauna me oe.
I return words, and your friends with you,
5 E nana ae oe i ka lani, a ike; A e nana i na ao, ua kiekie lakou mamua ou.
Behold attentively the heavens—and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than you.
6 Ina e hana hewa oe, heaha kau hana ia ia? Ina e hoonuiia kou mau hala, heaha kau e hana'i nana?
If you have sinned, what do you do against Him? And your transgressions have been multiplied, What do you do to Him?
7 Ina ua pono oe, heaha kau e haawi aku ai ia ia? Heaha kana e loaa'i mai kou lima aku?
If you have been righteous, What do you give to Him? Or what does He receive from your hand?
8 No ke kanaka e like me oe kou hala, A no ke keiki a ke kanaka kou pono.
For a man like yourself [is] your wickedness, And for a son of man your righteousness.
9 Ke uwe ae nei ka poe kaumaha no ka hooluhiia; I uwe lakou no ka lima o na mea koikoi.
Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because 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;
And none said, Where [is] God my Maker? Giving 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?
Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Indeed, He makes us wiser than the bird of the heavens.
12 Malaila lakou e uwe ai, aole mea i ekemu mai, No ka haaheo o ka poe hewa.
There they cry, and He does not answer, Because of the pride of evildoers.
13 He oiaio, aole ke Akua e hoolohe mai i ka mea wahahee, Aole ka Mea mana e maliu mai ia.
Surely God does not hear vanity, And the Mighty does not behold it.
14 Ina paha e olelo oe, aole oe i ike ia ia, Imua ona ka hooponopono, nolaila e kali aku oe ia ia.
Indeed, though you say you do not behold Him, Judgment [is] before Him, and stays for Him.
15 Ano hoi, he mea ole ka hoopai ana o kona inaina, Aole ia e haka pono mai i na hewa;
And now, because there is not, He has appointed His anger, And He has not known in great extremity.
16 Nolaila i oaka hewa mai ai ko Ioba waha, He hoonui olelo kana me ko ike ole.
And Job opens his mouth [with] vanity, He multiplies words without knowledge.”
