Job 3
1 Finally, Job spoke, and he cursed the day that he was born.
After thus he opened Job mouth his and he cursed day his.
2 He said,
And he answered Job and he said.
3 “I wish that the day when I was born could be eradicated, and also the night when I was 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 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.
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 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.
Let them reclaim it darkness and deep darkness let it settle down over it cloud let them terrify it [the] darkness of day.
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.
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 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.
There! the night that let it be barren may not it come a cry of joy in it.
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.
Let them curse it cursers of a day the [ones] ready to rouse Leviathan.
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.
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 [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.
For not it shut [the] doors of womb my and it hid trouble from eyes my.
11 “I wish that I had died [RHQ] when I was born— at the time I emerged from my mother’s womb.
Why? not from [the] womb did I die from [the] belly I came forth and I may expire?
12 I wish that my mother had not [RHQ] allowed me to live. I wish that she had not nursed me.
Why? did they receive me knees and why? breasts that I will suckle.
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].
For now I lay down and I may be at peace I slept then - it is at rest to me.
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].
With kings and counselors of [the] earth the [ones who] rebuilt ruins for themselves.
15 I would be resting with princes who were wealthy, whose palaces were filled with gold and silver.
Or with princes [whom] gold [belonged] to them those [who] filled houses their silver.
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.
Or like a miscarriage hidden not was I? like children [who] not they have seen light.
17 After wicked people die, they do not cause any more troubles; those who are very tired now will rest.
There wicked [people] they cease turmoil and there they rest weary [ones] of strength.
18 Those who were in prison rest peacefully [after they die]; they no longer have slave-drivers who curse them.
Together prisoners they are at ease not they hear [the] voice of a taskmaster.
19 Rich people and poor people are alike after they die, and those who were slaves are no longer controlled by their masters.
Small and great [is] there he and a slave [is] free from master his.
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]?
Why? does someone give to a sufferer light and life to [people] bitter of soul.
21 They long/want to die, but they do not die. They desire to die more than people desire to find a hidden treasure.
Those [who] long for death and there not [is] it and they dug for it more than hidden treasures.
22 When they finally die and are buried, they are very happy.
The joyful [people] to rejoicing they exult if they find [the] grave.
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]
To a man whom way his it is hidden and he has made inaccessible God behind him.
24 I continually cry very much; as a result, I cannot eat; and I can never stop groaning.
If before food my groaning my it comes and they poured forth like water cries of distress my.
25 Things that I always worried might happen to me, have happened to me; things that I always dreaded have happened to me.
For a fear I feared and it came to me and [that] which I dreaded it came to me.
26 Now I have no peace [in my inner being], I have no peace; I cannot rest; instead, I have only troubles.”
Not I am at ease - and not I am at peace and not I am at rest and it has come turmoil.
