< Job 3 >
1 After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed his day,
After thus he opened Job mouth his and he cursed day his.
And he answered Job and he said.
3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said: A man child is conceived.
Let it perish [the] day [which] I was born on it and the night [which] it said he has been conceived a man.
4 Let that day be turned into darkness, let not God regard it from above, and let not the light shine upon it.
The day that let it be darkness may not he care for it God above and may not it shine forth on it daylight.
5 Let darkness, and the shadow of death cover it, let a mist overspread it, and let it be wrapped up in bitterness.
Let them reclaim it darkness and deep darkness let it settle down over it cloud let them terrify it [the] darkness of day.
6 Let a darksome whirlwind seize upon that night, let it not be counted in the days of the year, nor numbered in the months.
The night that let it take it darkness may not it rejoice among [the] days of [the] year in [the] number of [the] months may not it come.
7 Let that night be solitary, and not worthy of praise.
There! the night that let it be barren may not it come a cry of joy in it.
8 Let them curse it who curse the day. who are ready to raise up a leviathan:
Let them curse it cursers of a day the [ones] ready to rouse Leviathan.
9 Let the stars be darkened with the mist thereof: let it expect light and not see it, nor the rising of the dawning of the day:
Let them grow dark [the] stars of twilight its let it wait for light and not and may not it look on [the] eyelids of dawn.
10 Because it shut not up the doors of the womb that bore me, nor took away evils from my eyes.
For not it shut [the] doors of womb my and it hid trouble from eyes my.
11 Why did I not die in the womb, why did I not perish when I came out of the belly?
Why? not from [the] womb did I die from [the] belly I came forth and I may expire?
12 Why received upon the knees? why suckled at the breasts?
Why? did they receive me knees and why? breasts that I will suckle.
13 For now I should have been asleep and still, and should have rest in my sleep.
For now I lay down and I may be at peace I slept then - it is at rest to me.
14 With kings and consuls of the earth, who build themselves solitudes:
With kings and counselors of [the] earth the [ones who] rebuilt ruins for themselves.
15 Or with princes, that possess gold, and All their houses with silver:
Or with princes [whom] gold [belonged] to them those [who] filled houses their silver.
16 Or as a hidden untimely birth I should not be, or as they that being conceived have not seen the light.
Or like a miscarriage hidden not was I? like children [who] not they have seen light.
17 There the wicked cease from tumult, and there the wearied in strength are at rest.
There wicked [people] they cease turmoil and there they rest weary [ones] of strength.
18 And they sometime bound together without disquiet, have not heard the voice of the oppressor.
Together prisoners they are at ease not they hear [the] voice of a taskmaster.
19 The small and great are there, and the servant is free from his master.
Small and great [is] there he and a slave [is] free from master his.
20 Why is light given to him that is in misery, and life to them that are in bitterness of soul?
Why? does someone give to a sufferer light and life to [people] bitter of soul.
21 That look for death, and it cometh not, as they that dig for a treasure:
Those [who] long for death and there not [is] it and they dug for it more than hidden treasures.
22 And they rejoice exceedingly when they have found the grave.
The joyful [people] to rejoicing they exult if they find [the] grave.
23 To a man whose way is hidden, and God hath surrounded him with darkness?
To a man whom way his it is hidden and he has made inaccessible God behind him.
24 Before I eat I sigh: and as overflowing waters, so is my roaring:
If before food my groaning my it comes and they poured forth like water cries of distress my.
25 For the fear which I feared hath come upon me: and that which I was afraid of, hath befallen me.
For a fear I feared and it came to me and [that] which I dreaded it came to me.
26 Have I not dissembled? have I not kept silence? have I not been quiet? and indignation is come upon me.
Not I am at ease - and not I am at peace and not I am at rest and it has come turmoil.
