ئەیوب 3

1 دوای ئەمە ئەیوب دەمی کردەوە و نەفرەتی لەو ڕۆژە کرد کە تێیدا لەدایک بووە.

Finally, Job spoke, and he cursed the day that he was born.

2 ئەیوب دەستی بە قسە کرد و گوتی:

He said,

3 «با لەناوبچێت ئەو ڕۆژەی تێیدا لەدایک بووم، ئەو شەوەش کە گوترا:”کوڕێک لەدایک بوو!“

“I wish that the day when I was born could be eradicated, and also the night when I was conceived.

4 با ئەو ڕۆژە تاریک بێت، نە خودا لە سەرەوە بایەخی پێ بدات و نە ڕۆژی بەسەردا هەڵبێت.

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.

5 با تاریکی و سێبەری مەرگ لەسەری بێت، با هەور دایبگرێت، با ڕۆژ تاریک دابێت و بیتۆقێنێت.

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.

6 ئەو شەوە، با شەوەزەنگ بیگرێت، لەناو ڕۆژانی ساڵ دڵخۆش نەبێت نەیەتە ناو ژمارەی مانگەکان.

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.

7 با ئەو شەوە نەزۆک بێت، هاواری خۆشی تێدا نەبێت.

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.

8 بەر نەفرەتی ئەوانە بکەوێت کە نەفرەت لە ڕۆژگار دەکەن، ئەوانەی ئامادەن لیڤیاتان بەئاگا بهێنن.

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.

9 با ئەستێرەکانی بەرەبەیان تاریک دابێن، چاوەڕوانی ڕووناکی بێت و نەیەت، با گزنگی بەیان نەبینێت،

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.

10 چونکە دەرگاکانی سکی لەسەر من دانەخست و چەرمەسەری لە چاوەکانم نەشاردەوە.

[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.

11 «بۆ لە بار دایکم نەچووم، کە لەدایک بووم، بۆ ڕۆحم بەدەستەوە نەدا؟

“I wish that I had died [RHQ] when I was born— at the time I emerged from my mother’s womb.

12 بۆچی ئەژنۆکان هەڵیانگرتم، بۆ مەمک هەبوو تاکو شیر بدرێم؟

I wish that my mother had not [RHQ] allowed me to live. I wish that she had not nursed me.

13 چونکە ئێستا ڕاکشابووم و بێدەنگ ببووم، ئەو کاتە بە ئاسوودەیی دەخەوتم،

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].

14 لەگەڵ پاشایان و ڕاوێژکارانی زەوی، ئەوانەی ئەو کۆشکانەیان بۆ خۆیان بنیاد نا کە ئێستا بوونەتە کەلاوە،

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].

15 یان لەگەڵ میران کە زێڕیان هەیە، ئەوانەی ماڵەکانیان لە زیو پڕکردووە،

I would be resting with princes who were wealthy, whose palaces were filled with gold and silver.

16 یان وەک لەبارچووێکی لەخاکنراو، ئینجا نەدەبووم، وەک کۆرپەیەک ڕووناکی نەبینیوە.

I wish that I had been buried like a child who died in its mother’s womb and never lived to see the light.

17 لەوێ خراپەکاران لە ئاژاوەنانەوە دەوەستن لەوێ ماندووان پشوو دەدەن،

After wicked people die, they do not cause any more troubles; those who are very tired now will rest.

18 دیلەکان تێکڕا ئاسوودە دەبن، گوێیان لە دەنگی سەرکار نابێت،

Those who were in prison rest peacefully [after they die]; they no longer have slave-drivers who curse them.

19 لەوێ بچووک وەک گەورە وایە، کۆیلەش ئازادە لە دەستی گەورەکەی.

Rich people and poor people are alike after they die, and those who were slaves are no longer controlled by their masters.

20 «بۆ ڕووناکی دەدرێتە ڕەنجدەران و ژیانیش بۆ ئەوەی تاڵاوی تێدایە،

(“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]?

21 ئەوانەی چاوەڕوانی مردن دەکەن و نییە، لە گەنجینە زیاتر بەدوایدا دەگەڕێن،

They long/want to die, but they do not die. They desire to die more than people desire to find a hidden treasure.

22 هەتا ئەوپەڕی شادمانی دڵخۆشن، دڵشادن کە گۆڕێک دەبیننەوە؟

When they finally die and are buried, they are very happy.

23 بۆ ژیان دەدرێتە پیاوێک کە ڕێگای شاردراوەتەوە، خوداش بە چواردەوریدا پەرژینی لێ داوە؟

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]

24 لەبەر ئەوەی ئاخ هەڵکێشانم بووەتە نانی ڕۆژانەم، هەنسکیشم وەک ئاو دەڕژێت.

I continually cry very much; as a result, I cannot eat; and I can never stop groaning.

25 ئەوەی دەمتۆقێنێت هاتە سەر ڕێگام، ئەوەی لێی دەترسام بەسەرم هات.

Things that I always worried might happen to me, have happened to me; things that I always dreaded have happened to me.

26 ئاسوودە نەبووم و بێدەنگ نەبووم، پشووم نەدا و ئاژاوە هات.»

Now I have no peace [in my inner being], I have no peace; I cannot rest; instead, I have only troubles.”
