Job 3
1 Finally, Job spoke, and he cursed the day that he was born.
Eso fesuale da baligili, Yoube da ouiya: le esalu amo sia: baoui amola e lalelegei eso amo gagabuli amane sia: i,
2 He said,
3 “I wish that the day when I was born could be eradicated, and also the night when I was conceived.
“A: i! Gode! Na lalelegei eso amoga gagabuli sia: ma! Na: mea hagomo ganodini hamobe galu amoga gagabuli sia: ma!
4 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.
Gode, amo eso bu gasilisima. Amo eso bu maedafa bu dawa: loma. Amo esoga hadigi bu mae diga: ma: ma.
5 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.
Amo eso gasi dunasima: ne hamoma. Mu mobi da amo eso hadigi dedeboma: ne hamoma! Amola eso ea diga: be uligilisima.
6 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.
Amo gasi odega dialebe fadegama! Amo gasi odega dialebe bu mae idima: ma.
7 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.
Na: mea hagomo ganodini hamobe gasi, amo da da: i dioi bagade amola hamedei agoane ba: mu da defea.
8 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.
Gabi dawa: su dunu (amo da hanome agoai ohe bagade Lifaiada: ne ouligimusa: dawa: ) ilia da amo gasiga gagabusu aligima: ne sia: mu da defea.
9 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.
Dia gusubia gasumuni ea diga: be amo uligilisima. Amola amo gasi mae hadigima: ne hamoma!
10 [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.
Amo gasi da na lalelegemu logo doasiba: le, amo gasiga gagabusu aligima: ne sia: ma. Bai amo gasi da nama bidi hamosu amola se nabasu fawane iasi.
11 “I wish that I had died [RHQ] when I was born— at the time I emerged from my mother’s womb.
Na da na: me hina: hagomoa ganodini bogomu da defea galu. O lalelegesula amogalawane bogomu da defea galu.
12 I wish that my mother had not [RHQ] allowed me to live. I wish that she had not nursed me.
Na: me da abuliba: le ea masele da: iya na febela: ? Abuliba: le nama dodo iasula: ?
13 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].
Na amogala bogosa ganiaba, na da wali hele esala: loba!
14 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].
Na da hina bagade amola ouligisu dunu amo da musa: hina bagade diasu buga: le gagui, amo defele golai diala: loba.
15 I would be resting with princes who were wealthy, whose palaces were filled with gold and silver.
Na da hina bagade manolali amo da ilia diasu silifa amola gouli amoga nabalesi, amo defele golai diala: loba.
16 I wish that I had been buried like a child who died in its mother’s womb and never lived to see the light.
O na da daba: me asi mano agoai golai diala: loba.
17 After wicked people die, they do not cause any more troubles; those who are very tired now will rest.
Bogoi uli dogoi ganodini, wadela: i hamosu dunu da wadela: le hame hamosa. Amola hawa: hamonana helei dunu ilia da hawa: hamosu fisili, helefisa.
18 Those who were in prison rest peacefully [after they die]; they no longer have slave-drivers who curse them.
Bogoi uli dogoi ganodini sali dunu ili amolawane da olofosu ba: sa. Amogawi ouligisu dunu da ilima hame halagala: sa.
19 Rich people and poor people are alike after they die, and those who were slaves are no longer controlled by their masters.
Amogawi, dunu huluane bogogia: i dialebe ba: sa. Mimogo dunu amola asaboi dunu huluanedafa da bogoi uli dogoiga doaga: le, dialebe. Udigili hawa: hamosu dunu da ilia udigili hawa: hamosu amoga fisiagai agoane ba: sa.
20 (“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]?
Dia da abuliba: le, dunu se bagade nabawane esaloma: ne, ilia logo doasisala: ? Abuliba: le, da: i dioi bagade dunuma hadigi iaha?
21 They long/want to die, but they do not die. They desire to die more than people desire to find a hidden treasure.
Ilia da bogoma: ne ouligisa, be bogosu da ilima hame doaga: sa. Ilia da osobo bagade noga: idafa liligi hame hanai, bogoi uli dogoi fawane hanai gala.
22 When they finally die and are buried, they are very happy.
Ilia da bogole, uli dogoiba: le fawane hahawane ba: sa.
23 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]
Gode da ilima fa: no misunu hou wamolegesa. Amola ili mae hobeama: ne, E da ili sisiga: sa.
24 I continually cry very much; as a result, I cannot eat; and I can never stop groaning.
Na da ha: i mae nawane, unuma: ne fawane dinana. Na da gogonomonanusu da yolemu hamedei gala.
25 Things that I always worried might happen to me, have happened to me; things that I always dreaded have happened to me.
Liligi huluane amoga na beda: be da dafawane hamosa.
26 Now I have no peace [in my inner being], I have no peace; I cannot rest; instead, I have only troubles.”
Na olofosu amola helefisu hamedafa dawa: , amola nama bidi hamosu da yolemu hame ba: sa.”
