Ioba 3
1 MAHOPE iho o keia, pane ae la ko Ioba waha, a hoino aku la ia i kona la.
After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
2 Olelo mai la o Ioba, i mai la,
And Job spake, and said,
3 E poho wale iho ka la a'u i hanau ai, A me ka po i oleloia, ua hapaiia he keikikane.
Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night [in which] it was said, There is a man child 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.
Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon 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 stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
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.
As [for] that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.
7 Aia hoi, o ua po la, e hooneoneoia oia; Aole e hookomoia ka leo olioli iloko ona.
Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.
8 Na lakou ia e hoino, na ka poe e hoino ana i ua la la, Ka poe makaukau no ke kanikau ana.
Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.
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 of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but [have] none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:
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.
Because it shut not up the doors of my [mother’s] womb, nor hid sorrow from mine 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 died I not from the womb? [why] did I [not] give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?
12 No ke aha la i kokua ai na kuli ia'u? No ke aha hoi na u, i omo aku ai au?
Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?
13 Alaila, ua moe iho au ano, a ua maluhia iho, Ua hiamoe iho la au, alaila ua maha iho la au,
For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
14 Me na'lii, a me na kuhina o ka honua, Ka poe i kukulu i na wahi neoneo no lakou:
With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves;
15 Me na keiki alii paha, ka poe mea gula, Me ka poe i hoopiha i ko lakou mau hale i ke kala:
Or with princes that had gold, who filled 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 as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants [which] never saw 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 wicked cease [from] troubling; and there the weary be at rest.
18 A e hoomaha pu ia'i hoi ka poe pio; Aole lakou i lohe i ka leo o ka mea hooluhi.
[There] the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.
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?
Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter [in] 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;
Which long for death, but it [cometh] not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;
22 I ka poe hauoli nui me ka olioli, I ka wa i loaa'i ia lakou ka luakupapau?
Which rejoice exceedingly, [and] are glad, when they can find the grave?
23 I ke kanaka i hunaia kona aoao, I ka mea a ke Akua i hoopuni ai?
[Why is light given] to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
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.
For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.
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 thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
26 Aole au i pomaikai, aole hoi i oluolu, Aole hoi i maha; aka, hiki mai ka popilikia.
I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.
