Ioba 3
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1MAHOPE iho o keia, pane ae la ko Ioba waha, a hoino aku la ia i kona la.
1After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
2Olelo mai la o Ioba, i mai la,
2And Job spoke, and said:
3E poho wale iho ka la a'u i hanau ai, A me ka po i oleloia, ua hapaiia he keikikane.
3Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night wherein it was said: 'A man-child is brought forth.'
4E lilo ua la la i pouli; Mai manao ke Akua ia mai luna mai, Aole hoi e alohi mai ka malamalama maluna ona.
4Let that day be darkness; let not God inquire after it from above, neither let the 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.
5Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own; let a cloud dwell upon it; let all that maketh black the day terrify 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.
6As for that night, let thick darkness seize upon it; let it not rejoice among the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months.
7Aia hoi, o ua po la, e hooneoneoia oia; Aole e hookomoia ka leo olioli iloko ona.
7Lo, let that night be desolate; let no joyful voice come therein.
8Na lakou ia e hoino, na ka poe e hoino ana i ua la la, Ka poe makaukau no ke kanikau ana.
8Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to rouse up 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.
9Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it behold the eyelids of the morning;
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.
10Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid trouble from mine 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 died I not from the womb? Why did I not perish at birth?
12No ke aha la i kokua ai na kuli ia'u? No ke aha hoi na u, i omo aku ai au?
12Why did the knees receive me? And wherefore the breasts, that I should suck?
13Alaila, ua moe iho au ano, a ua maluhia iho, Ua hiamoe iho la au, alaila ua maha iho la au,
13For now should I have lain still and been quiet; I should have slept; then had I been 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 counsellors of the earth, who built up waste places for themselves;
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 that 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 as a hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants that never saw light.
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 troubling; and there the weary are at rest.
18A e hoomaha pu ia'i hoi ka poe pio; Aole lakou i lohe i ka leo o ka mea hooluhi.
18There the prisoners are at ease together; they hear not the voice of the taskmaster.
19O ka mea uuku, a me ka mea nui, aia no malaila; A o ke kauwa, ua kaawale ia mai kona haku aku.
19The small and great are there alike; and the servant is free 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?
20Wherewith is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in 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, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;
22I ka poe hauoli nui me ka olioli, I ka wa i loaa'i ia lakou ka luakupapau?
22Who rejoice unto exultation, and are glad, when they can find the grave? —
23I ke kanaka i hunaia kona aoao, I ka mea a ke Akua i hoopuni ai?
23To a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath 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.
24For my sighing cometh instead of my food, and my roarings are poured 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 which I did fear is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of hath overtaken me.
26Aole au i pomaikai, aole hoi i oluolu, Aole hoi i maha; aka, hiki mai ka popilikia.
26I was not at ease, neither was I quiet, neither had I rest; but trouble came.
