Job 3
1 Finally, Job spoke, and he cursed the day that he was born.
Pagkatapos nito'y ibinuka ni Job ang kaniyang bibig at sinumpa ang kaniyang kaarawan.
2 He said,
At si Job ay sumagot, at nagsabi,
3 “I wish that the day when I was born could be eradicated, and also the night when I was conceived.
Maparam nawa ang kaarawan ng kapanganakan sa akin, at ang gabi na nagsabi, may lalaking ipinaglihi.
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.
Magdilim nawa ang kaarawang yaon; huwag nawang pansinin ng Dios mula sa itaas, ni silangan man ng liwanag.
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.
Ang dilim at ang salimuot na kadiliman ang siyang mangagari niyaon; pag-ulapan nawa yaon; Pangilabutin nawa yaon ng lahat na nagpapadilim sa araw.
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.
Suma gabing yaon nawa ang pagsasalimuot ng kadiliman: huwag nawang kagalakan sa mga araw ng sangtaon; huwag nawang mapasok sa bilang ng mga buwan.
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.
Narito, mapagisa ang gabing yaon; huwag nawang datnan yaon ng masayang tinig.
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.
Sumpain nawa yaong nanganunumpa sa araw, ng nangamimihasang gumalaw sa buwaya.
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.
Mangagdilim nawa ang mga bituin ng pagtatakip-silim niyaon: maghintay nawa ng liwanag, nguni't huwag magkaroon: ni huwag mamalas ang mga bukang liwayway ng umaga:
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.
Sapagka't hindi tinakpan ang mga pinto ng bahay-bata ng aking ina, o ikinubli man ang kabagabagan sa aking mga mata.
11 “I wish that I had died [RHQ] when I was born— at the time I emerged from my mother’s womb.
Bakit hindi pa ako namatay mula sa bahay-bata? Bakit di pa napatid ang aking hininga nang ipanganak ako ng aking ina?
12 I wish that my mother had not [RHQ] allowed me to live. I wish that she had not nursed me.
Bakit tinanggap ako ng mga tuhod? O bakit ng mga suso, na aking sususuhin?
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].
Sapagka't ngayon ay nahihiga sana ako at natatahimik; ako sana'y nakakatulog; na napapahinga ako:
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 kasama ng mga hari at ng mga kasangguni sa lupa, na nagsisigawa ng mga dakong ilang sa ganang kanila;
15 I would be resting with princes who were wealthy, whose palaces were filled with gold and silver.
O ng mga pangulo na nangagkaroon ng ginto, na pumuno sa kanilang bahay ng pilak:
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 gaya sana ng nalagas na nakatago, na hindi nabuhay; gaya sana ng sanggol na kailan man ay hindi nakakita ng liwanag.
17 After wicked people die, they do not cause any more troubles; those who are very tired now will rest.
Doo'y naglilikat ang masama sa pagbagabag; at doo'y nagpapahinga ang pagod.
18 Those who were in prison rest peacefully [after they die]; they no longer have slave-drivers who curse them.
Doo'y ang mga bihag ay nangagpapahingang magkakasama; hindi nila naririnig ang tinig ng nagpapaatag.
19 Rich people and poor people are alike after they die, and those who were slaves are no longer controlled by their masters.
Ang mababa at ang mataas ay nangaroon; at ang alipin ay laya sa kaniyang panginoon.
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]?
Bakit binibigyan ng liwanag ang nasa karalitaan, at ng buhay ang kaluluwang nasa kahirapan;
21 They long/want to die, but they do not die. They desire to die more than people desire to find a hidden treasure.
Na naghihintay ng kamatayan, nguni't hindi dumarating; at hinahangad ng higit kaysa mga kayamanang nakatago;
22 When they finally die and are buried, they are very happy.
Na nagagalak ng di kawasa, at nangasasayahan, pagka nasumpungan ang libingan?
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]
Bakit binibigyan ng liwanag ang tao na kinalilingiran ng lakad, at ang kinulong ng Dios?
24 I continually cry very much; as a result, I cannot eat; and I can never stop groaning.
Sapagka't nagbubuntong hininga ako bago ako kumain, at ang aking mga angal ay bumubugsong parang tubig.
25 Things that I always worried might happen to me, have happened to me; things that I always dreaded have happened to me.
Sapagka't ang bagay na aking kinatatakutan ay dumarating sa akin, at ang aking pinangingilabutan ay dumarating sa akin.
26 Now I have no peace [in my inner being], I have no peace; I cannot rest; instead, I have only troubles.”
Hindi ako tiwasay, ni ako man ay tahimik, ni ako man ay napapahinga; kundi kabagabagan ang dumarating.
