Job 3
1 Afterward Iob opened his mouth, and cursed his day.
After thus he opened Job mouth his and he cursed day his.
2 And Iob cryed out, and sayd,
And he answered Job and he said.
3 Let the day perish, wherein I was borne, and the night when it was sayde, There is a man childe conceiued.
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 bee darkenesse, let not God regarde it from aboue, neyther let the light shine vpon 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 But let darkenesse, and the shadowe of death staine it: let the cloude remayne vpon it, and let them make it fearefull as a bitter day.
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 darkenesse possesse that night, let it not be ioyned vnto the dayes of the yeere, nor let it come into the count of the moneths.
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 Yea, desolate be that night, and let no ioy be in it.
There! the night that let it be barren may not it come a cry of joy in it.
8 Let them that curse the day, (being readie to renue their mourning) curse it.
Let them curse it cursers of a day the [ones] ready to rouse Leviathan.
9 Let the starres of that twilight be dimme through darkenesse of it: let it looke for light, but haue none: neither let it see 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 vp the dores of my mothers wombe: nor hid sorowe from mine eyes.
For not it shut [the] doors of womb my and it hid trouble from eyes my.
11 Why died I not in the birth? or why dyed I not, when I came out of the wombe?
Why? not from [the] womb did I die from [the] belly I came forth and I may expire?
12 Why did the knees preuent me? and why did I sucke the breasts?
Why? did they receive me knees and why? breasts that I will suckle.
13 For so shoulde I now haue lyen and bene quiet, I should haue slept then, and bene at rest,
For now I lay down and I may be at peace I slept then - it is at rest to me.
14 With the Kings and counselers of the earth, which haue buylded themselues desolate places:
With kings and counselors of [the] earth the [ones who] rebuilt ruins for themselves.
15 Or with the princes that had golde, and haue filled their houses with siluer.
Or with princes [whom] gold [belonged] to them those [who] filled houses their silver.
16 Or why was I not hid, as an vntimely birth, either as infants, which haue not seene the light?
Or like a miscarriage hidden not was I? like children [who] not they have seen light.
17 The wicked haue there ceased from their tyrannie, and there they that laboured valiantly, are at rest.
There wicked [people] they cease turmoil and there they rest weary [ones] of strength.
18 The prisoners rest together, and heare not the voyce of the oppressour.
Together prisoners they are at ease not they hear [the] voice of a taskmaster.
19 There are small and great, and the seruant is free from his master.
Small and great [is] there he and a slave [is] free from master his.
20 Wherefore is the light giuen to him that is in miserie? and life vnto them that haue heauie hearts?
Why? does someone give to a sufferer light and life to [people] bitter of soul.
21 Which long for death, and if it come not, they would euen search it more then treasures:
Those [who] long for death and there not [is] it and they dug for it more than hidden treasures.
22 Which ioy for gladnes, and reioyce, when they can finde the graue.
The joyful [people] to rejoicing they exult if they find [the] grave.
23 Why is the light giuen to the man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
To a man whom way his it is hidden and he has made inaccessible God behind him.
24 For my sighing commeth before I eate, and my roarings are powred out like the water.
If before food my groaning my it comes and they poured forth like water cries of distress my.
25 For the thing I feared, is come vpon me, and the thing that I was afraid of, is come vnto me.
For a fear I feared and it came to me and [that] which I dreaded it came to me.
26 I had no peace, neither had I quietnesse, neither had I rest, yet trouble is come.
Not I am at ease - and not I am at peace and not I am at rest and it has come turmoil.
