Ioba 3
1 MAHOPE iho o keia, pane ae la ko Ioba waha, a hoino aku la ia i kona la.
After this hath Job opened his mouth, and revileth his day.
2 Olelo mai la o Ioba, i mai la,
And Job answereth and saith: —
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 in which I am born, And the night that hath said: 'A man-child hath 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.
That day — let it be darkness, Let not God require it from above, Nor let 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 death-shade redeem it, Let a cloud tabernacle upon it, Let them terrify it as the most bitter of days.
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.
That night — let thick darkness take it, Let it not be united to days of the year, Into the number of months let it not come.
7 Aia hoi, o ua po la, e hooneoneoia oia; Aole e hookomoia ka leo olioli iloko ona.
Lo! that night — let it be gloomy, Let no singing come into it.
8 Na lakou ia e hoino, na ka poe e hoino ana i ua la la, Ka poe makaukau no ke kanikau ana.
Let the cursers of day mark it, Who are ready to wake up 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 of its twilight be dark, Let it wait for light, and there is none, And let it not look on the eyelids of the dawn.
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 hath not shut the doors Of the womb that was mine! And hide misery 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 from the womb do I not die? From the belly I have come forth and gasp!
12 No ke aha la i kokua ai na kuli ia'u? No ke aha hoi na u, i omo aku ai au?
Wherefore have knees been before me? And what [are] breasts, that I 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, I have lain down, and am quiet, I have slept — then there is rest to me,
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 earth, These building wastes 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 — they have gold, They are filling 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 a hidden abortion I am not, As infants — they have not seen 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 have ceased troubling, And there rest do the wearied in power.
18 A e hoomaha pu ia'i hoi ka poe pio; Aole lakou i lohe i ka leo o ka mea hooluhi.
Together prisoners have been at ease, They have not heard the voice of an exactor,
19 O ka mea uuku, a me ka mea nui, aia no malaila; A o ke kauwa, ua kaawale ia mai kona haku aku.
Small and great [are] there the same. And a servant [is] free from his lord.
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 giveth He to the miserable light, and life to the bitter 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 are waiting for death, and it is not, And they seek it above hid treasures.
22 I ka poe hauoli nui me ka olioli, I ka wa i loaa'i ia lakou ka luakupapau?
Who are glad — unto joy, They rejoice when they find a grave.
23 I ke kanaka i hunaia kona aoao, I ka mea a ke Akua i hoopuni ai?
To a man whose way hath been hidden, And whom God doth shut up?
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 before my food, my sighing cometh, And poured out as waters [are] my roarings.
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 a fear I feared and it meeteth me, And what I was afraid of doth come to me.
26 Aole au i pomaikai, aole hoi i oluolu, Aole hoi i maha; aka, hiki mai ka popilikia.
I was not safe — nor was I quiet — Nor was I at rest — and trouble cometh!
