Job 3
1 After thus he opened Job mouth his and he cursed day his.
After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed his day.
2 And he answered Job and he said.
Job answered:
3 Let it perish [the] day [which] I was born on it and the night [which] it said he has been conceived a man.
"Let the day perish in which I was born, the night which said, 'A man is conceived.'
4 The day that let it be darkness may not he care for it God above and may not it shine forth on it daylight.
Let that day be darkness. May God above not care about it, neither let the light shine on it.
5 Let them reclaim it darkness and deep darkness let it settle down over it cloud let them terrify it [the] darkness of day.
Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own. Let a cloud dwell on it. Let the blackness of the day terrify it.
6 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.
As for that night, let thick darkness seize on it. Let it not rejoice among the days of the year. Let it not come into the number of the months.
7 There! the night that let it be barren may not it come a cry of joy in it.
Look, let that night be barren. Let no joyful voice come in it.
8 Let them curse it cursers of a day the [ones] ready to rouse Leviathan.
Let them curse it who curse the day, who are ready to rouse up leviathan.
9 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.
Let the stars of its twilight be dark. Let it look for light, but have none, neither let it see the eyelids of the morning,
10 For not it shut [the] doors of womb my and it hid trouble from eyes my.
because it did not shut up the doors of my mother's womb, nor did it hide trouble from my eyes.
11 Why? not from [the] womb did I die from [the] belly I came forth and I may expire?
"Why did I not die from the womb? Why did I not give up the spirit when my mother bore me?
12 Why? did they receive me knees and why? breasts that I will suckle.
Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should suck?
13 For now I lay down and I may be at peace I slept then - it is at rest to me.
For now should I have lain down and been quiet. I should have slept, then I would have been at rest,
14 With kings and counselors of [the] earth the [ones who] rebuilt ruins for themselves.
with kings and counselors of the earth, who built up waste places for themselves;
15 Or with princes [whom] gold [belonged] to them those [who] filled houses their silver.
or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver:
16 Or like a miscarriage hidden not was I? like children [who] not they have seen light.
or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, as infants who never saw light.
17 There wicked [people] they cease turmoil and there they rest weary [ones] of strength.
There the wicked cease from troubling. There the weary are at rest.
18 Together prisoners they are at ease not they hear [the] voice of a taskmaster.
There the prisoners are at ease together. They do not hear the voice of the taskmaster.
19 Small and great [is] there he and a slave [is] free from master his.
The small and the great are there. The servant is free from his master.
20 Why? does someone give to a sufferer light and life to [people] bitter of soul.
"Why is light given to him who is in misery, life to the bitter in soul,
21 Those [who] long for death and there not [is] it and they dug for it more than hidden treasures.
Who long for death, but it doesn't come; and dig for it more than for hidden treasures,
22 The joyful [people] to rejoicing they exult if they find [the] grave.
who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
23 To a man whom way his it is hidden and he has made inaccessible God behind him.
Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, whom God has hedged in?
24 If before food my groaning my it comes and they poured forth like water cries of distress my.
For my sighing comes before I eat. My groanings are poured out like water.
25 For a fear I feared and it came to me and [that] which I dreaded it came to me.
For the thing which I fear comes on me, That which I am afraid of comes to me.
26 Not I am at ease - and not I am at peace and not I am at rest and it has come turmoil.
I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest; but trouble comes."
