Job 3
1 After this, opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
after so to open Job [obj] lip his and to lighten [obj] day his
2 So then Job began, and said:
and to answer Job and to say
3 Perish, the day wherein I was born, and the night it was said, Lo! a manchild!
to perish day to beget in/on/with him and [the] night to say to conceive great man
4 That day, be it darkness, —Let not God enquire after it from above, May there shine upon it no clear beam:
[the] day [the] he/she/it to be darkness not to seek him god from above and not to shine upon him light
5 Let darkness and death-shade buy it back, May there settle down upon it a cloud, Let a day’s dark eclipse cause it terror:
to redeem: redeem him darkness and shadow to dwell upon him cloud to terrify him darkness day
6 That night, darkness take it, —May it not rejoice among the days of the year, Into the number of months, let it not enter.
[the] night [the] he/she/it to take: take him darkness not to rejoice in/on/with day year in/on/with number month not to come (in): come
7 Lo! that night, be it barren, Let no joyous shouting enter therein:
behold [the] night [the] he/she/it to be solitary not to come (in): come triumphing in/on/with him
8 Let day-cursers denounce it, Those skilled in rousing the dragon of the sky:
to curse him to curse day [the] ready to rouse Leviathan
9 Darkened be the stars of its twilight, —Let it wait for light, and there be none, neither let it see the eyelashes of the dawn:
to darken star twilight his to await to/for light and nothing and not to see: see in/on/with eyelid dawn
10 Because it closed not the doors of the womb wherein I was, and so hid trouble from mine eyes.
for not to shut door belly: womb my and to hide trouble from eye my
11 Wherefore, in the womb, did I not die? From the womb, come forth and cease to breathe?
to/for what? not from womb to die from belly: womb to come out: produce and to die
12 For what reason, were there prepared for me—knees? and why—breasts, that I might suck?
why? to meet me knee and what? breast for to suckle
13 Surely, at once, had I lain down, and been quiet, I had fallen asleep, then, had I been at rest:
for now to lie down: lay down and to quiet to sleep then to rest to/for me
14 With kings, and counselors of the earth, who had built them pyramids:
with king and to advise land: country/planet [the] to build desolation to/for them
15 Or with rulers possessing, gold, —Who had filled their houses with silver:
or with ruler gold to/for them [the] to fill house: home their silver: money
16 Or that, like an untimely birth hidden away, I had not come into being, like infants that never saw light:
or like/as miscarriage to hide not to be like/as infant not to see: see light
17 There, the lawless, cease from raging, and there the toil-worn are at rest:
there wicked to cease turmoil and there to rest weary strength
18 At once are prisoners at peace, they hear not the voice of a driver:
unitedness prisoner to rest not to hear: hear voice to oppress
19 Small and great, there, they are, and, the slave, is free from his master.
small and great: large there he/she/it and servant/slave free from lord his
20 Wherefore give, to the wretched, light? Or, life, to the embittered in soul?—
to/for what? to give: give to/for labour(er) light and life to/for bitter soul
21 Who long for death, and it is not, And have digged for it, beyond hid treasures:
[the] to wait to/for death and nothing he and to search him from treasure
22 Who rejoice unto exultation, Are glad, when they can find the grave:
[the] glad to(wards) rejoicing to rejoice for to find grave
23 To a man, whose way is concealed, And GOD hath straitly enclosed him?
to/for great man which way: journey his to hide and to fence god about/through/for him
24 For, in the face of my food, my sighing, cometh in, and, poured out like the water, are my groans:
for to/for face: before food: bread my sighing my to come (in): come and to pour like/as water roaring my
25 For, a dread, I dreaded, and it hath come upon me, and, that from which I shrank, hath overtaken me.
for dread to dread and to come me and which to fear to come (in): come to/for me
26 I was not careless, nor was I secure, nor had I settled down, —when there came—consternation!
not to prosper and not to quiet and not to rest and to come (in): come turmoil
