Job 3

1 After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed his day.

After thus he opened Job mouth his and he cursed day his.

2 And Job spoke, and said,

And he answered Job and he said.

3 Let the day perish when I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child 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 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon 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 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.

Let them reclaim it darkness and deep darkness let it settle down over it cloud let them terrify it [the] darkness of day.

6 As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined to the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.

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 Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come in it.

There! the night that let it be barren may not it come a cry of joy in it.

8 Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.

Let them curse it cursers of a day the [ones] ready to rouse Leviathan.

9 Let the stars of its twilight be dark; let it look for light, but have 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 up the doors of my mother’s womb, nor hid sorrow from my eyes.

For not it shut [the] doors of womb my and it hid trouble from eyes my.

11 Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the womb?

Why? not from [the] womb did I die from [the] belly I came forth and I may expire?

12 Why did the knees receive me? or why the breasts that I should be nursed?

Why? did they receive me knees and why? breasts that I will suck.

13 For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,

For now I lay down and I may be at peace I slept then - it is at rest to me.

14 With kings and counsellors of the earth, who built desolate places for themselves;

With kings and counselors of [the] earth the [ones who] rebuilt ruins for themselves.

15 Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:

Or with princes [whom] gold [belonged] to them those [who] filled houses their silver.

16 Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.

Or like a miscarriage hidden not was I? like children [who] not they have seen light.

17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary are at rest.

There wicked [people] they cease turmoil and there they rest weary [ones] of strength.

18 There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.

Together prisoners they are at ease not they hear [the] voice of a taskmaster.

19 The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.

Small and great [is] there he and a slave [is] free from master his.

20 Why is light given to him that is in misery, and life to the bitter in soul;

Why? does someone give to a sufferer light and life to [people] bitter of soul.

21 Who long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;

Those [who] long for death and there not [is] it and they dug for it more than hidden treasures.

22 Who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?

The joyful [people] to rejoicing they exult if they find [the] grave.

23 Why is light given to a 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 cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.

If before food my groaning my it comes and they poured forth like water cries of distress my.

25 For the thing which I greatly feared hath come upon me, and that which I feared hath come to me.

For a fear I feared and it came to me and [that] which I dreaded it came to me.

26 I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.

Not I am at ease - and not I am at peace and not I am at rest and it has come turmoil.
