Job 3
1 Human niini, mibungat si Job sa iyang baba ug mibalikas sa adlaw sa iyang pagkahimugso.
Finally, Job spoke, and he cursed the day that he was born.
2 Miingon siya:
He said,
3 “Wagtanga ang adlaw sa akong pagkahimugso, ang gabii nga miingon, “Gipanamkon ang usa ka batang lalaki.'
“I wish that the day when I was born could be eradicated, and also the night when I was conceived.
4 Pangitngita kanang adlawa; ayaw ipahinumdom sa Dios sa kahitas-an, ni mosidlak ang adlaw niini.
I wish that the day when I was born would have been covered in darkness. I wish that God who is in heaven [MTY] would have forgotten about that day, and that the sun would not have shone on it.
5 Pasagdi ang kangitngit ug ang landong sa kamatayon nga moangkon niini alang sa ilang kaugalingon; palukopa ang panganod ibabaw niini; pasagdi nga ang tanang nagpahimo ug itom sa adlaw moguba niini.
I wish that thick/intense darkness would have filled that day, and that a black cloud would have come over it and blotted out all light and caused people to be terrified.
6 Alang niadtong gabhiona, ipasakop kini sa baga nga kangitngit: ayaw pagpasadyaa kini nga mga adlaw sa tuig; ayaw kana ilakip sa pag-ihap sa mga bulan.
I wish that the night when I was conceived would be erased from the calendar, with the result that it would never again appear as one night in any month, and that it would not be included in any calendar.
7 Tan-awa, himoa nga mangiob kanang gabhiona; ayaw pasudla ang tingog nga malipayon.
I wish that no child would again be conceived on that night of the month [MET], and that no one would again be happy on that night.
8 Ipatunglo kanila kanang adlawa, niadtong nasayod sa pagpamata sa Leviathan.
I want those people who (curse/put evil spells on) days—those who know how to arouse/awaken the great sea monster—to curse that day.
9 Pangitngita ang mga bituon sa kagabhion. Papangitaa kanang adlawa sa kahayag, apan ayaw ipakita; ni pakit-on sa mga mata sa kaadlawon,
I wish that the stars that shone early in the morning on that day [after I was conceived] will not shine again. I want those stars to have wished in vain for light to shine; and that they would not have shone on that day.
10 tungod kay wala patak-uma niini ang ganghaan sa tagoangkan sa akong inahan, ni gitagoan niini ang kasamok gikan sa akong mga mata.
[That was an evil day] because my mother was able to conceive; instead, I was born, and I have now experienced all these terrible things.
11 Nganong wala man ako mamatay sa paggawas ko gikan sa tagoangkan? Nganong wala man mibiya ang akong espiritu sa pagpahimugso kanako sa akong inahan?
“I wish that I had died [RHQ] when I was born— at the time I emerged from my mother’s womb.
12 Nganong gidawat man ako sa iyang mga tuhod? O nganong gidawat man ako sa iyang mga dughan aron makasuso ako niini?
I wish that my mother had not [RHQ] allowed me to live. I wish that she had not nursed me.
13 Kay karon unta naghigda na ako sa hilom; natulog na unta ako ug nakapahulay
If I had died at the time when I was born, I would be asleep, resting peacefully [in the place where the dead people are].
14 kauban ang mga hari ug mga magtatambag sa kalibotan, nga nagtukod sa mga lubnganan alang sa ilang kaugalingon nga nagun-ob na karon.
I would be resting with kings whose [beautiful palaces] that they built are now in ruins (OR, who rebuilt [palaces] that had previously been destroyed), and I would be resting with their officials [who have also died].
15 O naghigda na unta ako kauban sa mga prinsipe nga adunay mga bulawan kanhi, nga napuno sa mga plata ang ilang mga pinuy-anan.
I would be resting with princes who were wealthy, whose palaces were filled with gold and silver.
16 O dili ba kaha namatay na lamang unta ako sa tagoangkan sa akong inahan, sama sa mga gagmay'ng bata nga wala na makakita sa kahayag.
I wish that I had been buried like a child who died in its mother’s womb and never lived to see the light.
17 Didto ang daotan dili na makasamok pa; ug didto ang gikapuyan may kapahulayan.
After wicked people die, they do not cause any more troubles; those who are very tired now will rest.
18 Didto ang mga binilanggo managkatigom; dili na nila madunggan ang tingog sa labaw sa sulugoon.
Those who were in prison rest peacefully [after they die]; they no longer have slave-drivers who curse them.
19 Ang ubos ug bantogan nga mga tawo atua usab didto; ang sulugoon gawasnon na sa iyang agalon didto.
Rich people and poor people are alike after they die, and those who were slaves are no longer controlled by their masters.
20 Nganong ang kahayag gihatag man kaniya nga anaa sa kaalaot; nganong ang kinabuhi gihatag man sa tawong may mapait nga kalag;
(“Why does God allow those who are suffering greatly [like me] to continue to remain alive?/I do not understand why God allows those who are suffering greatly [like me] to continue to remain alive.) [RHQ] Why does he allow those who are very miserable/distressed to keep living [RHQ]?
21 ngadto sa tawong nangandoy alang sa kamatayon, apan wala kini miabot; ngadto sa tawo nga nangita sa kamatayon labaw pa niadtong nangita sa bahanding tinagoan?
They long/want to die, but they do not die. They desire to die more than people desire to find a hidden treasure.
22 Nganong ang kahayag gihatag man sa nagmaya pag-ayo ug malipay kung makaplagan na niya ang lubnganan?
When they finally die and are buried, they are very happy.
23 Nganong gihatag man ang kahayag sa tawo nga kansang dalan tinagoan, usa ka tawo nga gisalikway sa Dios?
Those who do not know where they are [eventually] going when they die [RHQ], people whom God has forced [MET] to continue to live in misery, (it is not right that they continue to live./why do they continue to live?) [RHQ]
24 Kay nanghupaw ako inay mokaon; ang akong pag-agulo ginayabo sama sa tubig.
I continually cry very much; as a result, I cannot eat; and I can never stop groaning.
25 Kay ang butang nga akong gikahadlokan midangat kanako; kung unsa ang akong gikalisangan miabot kanako.
Things that I always worried might happen to me, have happened to me; things that I always dreaded have happened to me.
26 Wala na akoy kalinaw, dili na ako maghilom, ug wala na akoy pahulay; kasamok na hinoon ang miabot.
Now I have no peace [in my inner being], I have no peace; I cannot rest; instead, I have only troubles.”
