Ioba 3
1 MAHOPE iho o keia, pane ae la ko Ioba waha, a hoino aku la ia i kona la.
After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed his day,
2 Olelo mai la o Ioba, i mai la,
and this is what he said:
3 E poho wale iho ka la a'u i hanau ai, A me ka po i oleloia, ua hapaiia he keikikane.
May the day perish on which I was born, and the night, in which it was said, “A man has been conceived.”
4 E lilo ua la la i pouli; Mai manao ke Akua ia mai luna mai, Aole hoi e alohi mai ka malamalama maluna ona.
May that day be turned into darkness, may God not seek it from above, and may light not illuminate it.
5 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.
Let darkness and the shadow of death obscure it, let a fog overtake it, and let it be enveloped in bitterness.
6 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.
Let a whirlwind of darkness take hold of that night, let it not be counted in the days of the year, nor numbered in the months.
7 Aia hoi, o ua po la, e hooneoneoia oia; Aole e hookomoia ka leo olioli iloko ona.
May that night be alone and unworthy of praise.
8 Na lakou ia e hoino, na ka poe e hoino ana i ua la la, Ka poe makaukau no ke kanikau ana.
May they curse it, who curse the day, who are prepared to awaken a leviathan.
9 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.
Let the stars be concealed with its darkness. Let it expect light, and not see it, nor the rising of the dawn in the East.
10 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.
For it did not close the doors of the womb that bore me, nor take away evils from my eyes.
11 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?
Why did I not die in the womb? Having left the womb, why did I not immediately perish?
12 No ke aha la i kokua ai na kuli ia'u? No ke aha hoi na u, i omo aku ai au?
Why was I received upon the knees? Why was I suckled at the breasts?
13 Alaila, ua moe iho au ano, a ua maluhia iho, Ua hiamoe iho la au, alaila ua maha iho la au,
For by now, I should have been sleeping silently, and taking rest in my sleep
14 Me na'lii, a me na kuhina o ka honua, Ka poe i kukulu i na wahi neoneo no lakou:
with the kings and consuls of the earth, who build themselves solitudes,
15 Me na keiki alii paha, ka poe mea gula, Me ka poe i hoopiha i ko lakou mau hale i ke kala:
either with princes, who possess gold and fill their houses with silver,
16 A, me he mea la i hanau i ka wa, ua ole au; Me na keiki ike ole i ka malamalama.
or, like a hidden miscarriage, I should not have continued, just like those who, being conceived, have not seen the light.
17 Malaila e hooki ai ka poe hewa i ka hana kolohe ana; Malaila hoi e hoomahaia'i ka poe i luhi o ka ikaika.
There the impious cease from rebellion, and there the wearied in strength take rest.
18 A e hoomaha pu ia'i hoi ka poe pio; Aole lakou i lohe i ka leo o ka mea hooluhi.
And at such times, having been bound together without difficulty, they have not heard the voice of the bailiff.
19 O ka mea uuku, a me ka mea nui, aia no malaila; A o ke kauwa, ua kaawale ia mai kona haku aku.
The small and great are there, and the servant is free from his master.
20 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?
Why is light given to the miserable, and life to those who are in bitterness of soul,
21 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;
who expect death, and it does not arrive, like those who dig for treasure
22 I ka poe hauoli nui me ka olioli, I ka wa i loaa'i ia lakou ka luakupapau?
and who rejoice greatly when they have found the grave,
23 I ke kanaka i hunaia kona aoao, I ka mea a ke Akua i hoopuni ai?
to a man whose way is hidden and whom God has surrounded with darkness?
24 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.
Before I eat, I sigh; and like overflowing waters, so is my howl,
25 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.
for the terror that I feared has happened to me, and so has the dread befallen me.
26 Aole au i pomaikai, aole hoi i oluolu, Aole hoi i maha; aka, hiki mai ka popilikia.
Have I not remained hidden? Have I not kept silence? Have I not remained calm? Yet indignation has overcome me.
