Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth.
1MAHOPE iho o keia, pane ae la ko Ioba waha, a hoino aku la ia i kona la.
2And this is what he said:
2Olelo mai la o Ioba, i mai la,
3“May the day of my birth perish, and the night it was said, ‘A boy is conceived.’
3E poho wale iho ka la a'u i hanau ai, A me ka po i oleloia, ua hapaiia he keikikane.
4If only that day had turned to darkness! May God above disregard it; may no light shine upon it.
4E lilo ua la la i pouli; Mai manao ke Akua ia mai luna mai, Aole hoi e alohi mai ka malamalama maluna ona.
5May darkness and gloom reclaim it, and a cloud settle over it; may the blackness of the day overwhelm it.
5E haukae ka pouli a me ka malu make ia la; E kau ka naulu maluna ona; E hooweliweli na wela o ka la ia ia.
6If only darkness had taken that night away! May it not appear among the days of the year; may it never be entered in any of the months.
6A o ua po la, e lawe aku ka pouli ia ia; Aole e hui pu ia oia me na la o ka makahiki; Mai hookomoia oia iloko o ka helu ana o na malama.
7Behold, may that night be barren; may no joyful voice come into it.
7Aia hoi, o ua po la, e hooneoneoia oia; Aole e hookomoia ka leo olioli iloko ona.
8May it be cursed by those who curse the day — those prepared to rouse Leviathan.
8Na lakou ia e hoino, na ka poe e hoino ana i ua la la, Ka poe makaukau no ke kanikau ana.
9May its morning stars grow dark; may it wait in vain for daylight; may it not see the breaking of dawn.
9E hoopouliia na hoku o kona wa molehulehu: E kali aku ia i ka malamalama, a loaa ole; Aole hoi ia e ike i ka wehe ana o ke alaula.
10For that night did not shut the doors of the womb to hide the sorrow from my eyes.
10No ka mea, aole ia i hoopaa i na puka o ka opu o kuu makuwahine, Aole hoi ia i huna i ka popilikia mai ko'u maka aku.
11Why did I not perish at birth; why did I not die as I came from the womb?
11No ke aha la i make ole ai au mai ka opu mai? No ke aha la i kaili ole ia kuu ea i kuu puka ana mai ka opu mai?
12Why were there knees to receive me, and breasts that I should be nursed?
12No ke aha la i kokua ai na kuli ia'u? No ke aha hoi na u, i omo aku ai au?
13For now I would be lying down in peace; I would be asleep and at rest
13Alaila, ua moe iho au ano, a ua maluhia iho, Ua hiamoe iho la au, alaila ua maha iho la au,
14with kings and counselors of the earth, who built for themselves cities now in ruins,
14Me na'lii, a me na kuhina o ka honua, Ka poe i kukulu i na wahi neoneo no lakou:
15or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver.
15Me na keiki alii paha, ka poe mea gula, Me ka poe i hoopiha i ko lakou mau hale i ke kala:
16Or why was I not hidden like a stillborn child, like an infant who never sees daylight?
16A, me he mea la i hanau i ka wa, ua ole au; Me na keiki ike ole i ka malamalama.
17There the wicked cease from raging, and there the weary find rest.
17Malaila e hooki ai ka poe hewa i ka hana kolohe ana; Malaila hoi e hoomahaia'i ka poe i luhi o ka ikaika.
18The captives enjoy their ease; they do not hear the voice of the oppressor.
18A e hoomaha pu ia'i hoi ka poe pio; Aole lakou i lohe i ka leo o ka mea hooluhi.
19Both small and great are there, and the slave is freed from his master.
19O ka mea uuku, a me ka mea nui, aia no malaila; A o ke kauwa, ua kaawale ia mai kona haku aku.
20Why is light given to the miserable, and life to the bitter of soul,
20No ke aha la i haawiia mai ai ka malamalama i ka mea popilikia, A me ke ola i ka mea eha ma ka naau?
21who long for death that does not come, and search for it like hidden treasure,
21Ka poe e kali ana i ka make, aole i hiki mai, A ua oi ko lakou eli ana ia mea, mamua o na waiwai i hunaia;
22who rejoice and greatly exult when they can find the grave?
22I ka poe hauoli nui me ka olioli, I ka wa i loaa'i ia lakou ka luakupapau?
23Why is life given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?
23I ke kanaka i hunaia kona aoao, I ka mea a ke Akua i hoopuni ai?
24I sigh when food is put before me, and my groans pour out like water.
24No ka mea, ua hiki pu mai ko'u kaniuhu ana me kuu ai ana, A ua nininiia'ku ko'u uwe ana e like me na wai.
25For the thing I feared has overtaken me, and what I dreaded has befallen me.
25No ka mea, ua makau au i ka mea makau, a ua hiki mai ia maluna o'u, A o ka mea a'u i weliweli ai ua hele mai ia io'u nei.
26I am not at ease or quiet; I have no rest, for trouble has come.”
26Aole au i pomaikai, aole hoi i oluolu, Aole hoi i maha; aka, hiki mai ka popilikia.
