Job 3
1 Finally, Job spoke, and he cursed the day that he was born.
MAHOPE iho o keia, pane ae la ko Ioba waha, a hoino aku la ia i kona la.
2 He said,
Olelo mai la o Ioba, i mai la,
3 “I wish that the day when I was born could be eradicated, and also the night when I was conceived.
E poho wale iho ka la a'u i hanau ai, A me ka po i oleloia, ua hapaiia he keikikane.
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.
E lilo ua la la i pouli; Mai manao ke Akua ia mai luna mai, Aole hoi e alohi mai ka malamalama maluna ona.
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.
E 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.
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.
A 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.
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.
Aia hoi, o ua po la, e hooneoneoia oia; Aole e hookomoia ka leo olioli iloko ona.
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.
Na lakou ia e hoino, na ka poe e hoino ana i ua la la, Ka poe makaukau no ke kanikau ana.
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.
E 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.
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.
No 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 “I wish that I had died [RHQ] when I was born— at the time I emerged from my mother’s womb.
No 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?
12 I wish that my mother had not [RHQ] allowed me to live. I wish that she had not nursed me.
No ke aha la i kokua ai na kuli ia'u? No ke aha hoi na u, i omo aku ai au?
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].
Alaila, ua moe iho au ano, a ua maluhia iho, Ua hiamoe iho la au, alaila ua maha iho la au,
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].
Me na'lii, a me na kuhina o ka honua, Ka poe i kukulu i na wahi neoneo no lakou:
15 I would be resting with princes who were wealthy, whose palaces were filled with gold and silver.
Me na keiki alii paha, ka poe mea gula, Me ka poe i hoopiha i ko lakou mau hale i ke kala:
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.
A, me he mea la i hanau i ka wa, ua ole au; Me na keiki ike ole i ka malamalama.
17 After wicked people die, they do not cause any more troubles; those who are very tired now will rest.
Malaila e hooki ai ka poe hewa i ka hana kolohe ana; Malaila hoi e hoomahaia'i ka poe i luhi o ka ikaika.
18 Those who were in prison rest peacefully [after they die]; they no longer have slave-drivers who curse them.
A e hoomaha pu ia'i hoi ka poe pio; Aole lakou i lohe i ka leo o ka mea hooluhi.
19 Rich people and poor people are alike after they die, and those who were slaves are no longer controlled by their masters.
O ka mea uuku, a me ka mea nui, aia no malaila; A o ke kauwa, ua kaawale ia mai kona haku aku.
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]?
No ke aha la i haawiia mai ai ka malamalama i ka mea popilikia, A me ke ola i ka mea eha ma ka naau?
21 They long/want to die, but they do not die. They desire to die more than people desire to find a hidden treasure.
Ka 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;
22 When they finally die and are buried, they are very happy.
I ka poe hauoli nui me ka olioli, I ka wa i loaa'i ia lakou ka luakupapau?
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]
I ke kanaka i hunaia kona aoao, I ka mea a ke Akua i hoopuni ai?
24 I continually cry very much; as a result, I cannot eat; and I can never stop groaning.
No 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.
25 Things that I always worried might happen to me, have happened to me; things that I always dreaded have happened to me.
No 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.
26 Now I have no peace [in my inner being], I have no peace; I cannot rest; instead, I have only troubles.”
Aole au i pomaikai, aole hoi i oluolu, Aole hoi i maha; aka, hiki mai ka popilikia.
