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