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.
2Job answered:
2Olelo mai la o Ioba, i mai la,
3“Let the day perish in which I was born, the night which said, ‘There is a boy conceived.’
3E poho wale iho ka la a'u i hanau ai, A me ka po i oleloia, ua hapaiia he keikikane.
4Let that day be darkness. Don’t let God from above seek for it, neither let the light shine on 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.
5Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own. Let a cloud dwell on it. Let all that makes the day black terrify 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.
6As for that night, let thick darkness seize on it. Let it not rejoice among the days of the year. Let it not come into the number 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, let that night be barren. Let no joyful voice come therein.
7Aia hoi, o ua po la, e hooneoneoia oia; Aole e hookomoia ka leo olioli iloko ona.
8Let them curse it who curse the day, who are ready to rouse up leviathan.
8Na lakou ia e hoino, na ka poe e hoino ana i ua la la, Ka poe makaukau no ke kanikau ana.
9Let the stars of its twilight be dark. Let it look for light, but have none, neither let it see the eyelids of the morning,
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.
10because it didn’t shut up the doors of my mother’s womb, nor did it hide trouble 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.
11“Why didn’t I die from the womb? Why didn’t I give up the spirit when my mother bore me?
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 did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should nurse?
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 should have lain down and been quiet. I should have slept, then I would have been 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 up waste places for themselves;
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 as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, as infants who never saw light.
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 troubling. There the weary are at 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.
18There the prisoners are at ease together. They don’t hear the voice of the taskmaster.
18A e hoomaha pu ia'i hoi ka poe pio; Aole lakou i lohe i ka leo o ka mea hooluhi.
19The small and the great are there. The servant is free 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.
20“Why is light given to him who is in misery, life to the bitter in 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, but it doesn’t come; and dig for it more than for hidden treasures,
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 exceedingly, and are glad, 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 light 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?
24For my sighing comes before I eat. My groanings are poured 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 which I fear comes on me, that which I am afraid of comes to 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, neither am I quiet, neither do I have rest; but trouble comes.”
26Aole au i pomaikai, aole hoi i oluolu, Aole hoi i maha; aka, hiki mai ka popilikia.
