Job 3

VULA

NIV

1 post haec aperuit Iob os suum et maledixit diei suo
1 After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth.
2 et locutus est
2 He said:
3 pereat dies in qua natus sum et nox in qua dictum est conceptus est homo
3 “May the day of my birth perish, and the night that said, ‘A boy is conceived!’
4 dies ille vertatur in tenebras non requirat eum Deus desuper et non inlustret lumine
4 That day—may it turn to darkness; may God above not care about it; may no light shine on it.
5 obscurent eum tenebrae et umbra mortis occupet eum caligo et involvatur amaritudine
5 May gloom and utter darkness claim it once more; may a cloud settle over it; may blackness overwhelm it.
6 noctem illam tenebrosus turbo possideat non conputetur in diebus anni nec numeretur in mensibus
6 That night—may thick darkness seize it; may it not be included among the days of the year nor be entered in any of the months.
7 sit nox illa solitaria nec laude digna
7 May that night be barren; may no shout of joy be heard in it.
8 maledicant ei qui maledicunt diei qui parati sunt suscitare Leviathan
8 May those who curse days curse that day, those who are ready to rouse Leviathan.
9 obtenebrentur stellae caligine eius expectet lucem et non videat nec ortum surgentis aurorae
9 May its morning stars become dark; may it wait for daylight in vain and not see the first rays of dawn,
10 quia non conclusit ostia ventris qui portavit me nec abstulit mala ab oculis meis
10 for it did not shut the doors of the womb on me to hide trouble from my eyes.
11 quare non in vulva mortuus sum egressus ex utero non statim perii
11 “Why did I not perish at birth, and die as I came from the womb?
12 quare exceptus genibus cur lactatus uberibus
12 Why were there knees to receive me and breasts that I might be nursed?
13 nunc enim dormiens silerem et somno meo requiescerem
13 For now I would be lying down in peace; I would be asleep and at rest
14 cum regibus et consulibus terrae qui aedificant sibi solitudines
14 with kings and rulers of the earth, who built for themselves places now lying in ruins,
15 aut cum principibus qui possident aurum et replent domos suas argento
15 with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver.
16 aut sicut abortivum absconditum non subsisterem vel qui concepti non viderunt lucem
16 Or why was I not hidden away in the ground like a stillborn child, like an infant who never saw the light of day?
17 ibi impii cessaverunt a tumultu et ibi requieverunt fessi robore
17 There the wicked cease from turmoil, and there the weary are at rest.
18 et quondam vincti pariter sine molestia non audierunt vocem exactoris
18 Captives also enjoy their ease; they no longer hear the slave driver’s shout.
19 parvus et magnus ibi sunt et servus liber a domino suo
19 The small and the great are there, and the slaves are freed from their owners.
20 quare data est misero lux et vita his qui in amaritudine animae sunt
20 “Why is light given to those in misery, and life to the bitter of soul,
21 qui expectant mortem et non venit quasi effodientes thesaurum
21 to those who long for death that does not come, who search for it more than for hidden treasure,
22 gaudentque vehementer cum invenerint sepulchrum
22 who are filled with gladness and rejoice when they reach the grave?
23 viro cuius abscondita est via et circumdedit eum Deus tenebris
23 Why is life given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?
24 antequam comedam suspiro et quasi inundantes aquae sic rugitus meus
24 For sighing has become my daily food; my groans pour out like water.
25 quia timor quem timebam evenit mihi et quod verebar accidit
25 What I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded has happened to me.
26 nonne dissimulavi nonne silui nonne quievi et venit super me indignatio
26 I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil.”
