King James Bible |
Youngs Literal Translation |
|
| 3:1 | After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day. | After this hath Job opened his mouth, and revileth his day. |
| 3:2 | And Job |
And Job answereth and saith: -- |
| 3:3 | Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived. | Let the day perish in which I am born, And the night that hath said: `A man-child hath been conceived.' |
| 3:4 | Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. | That day -- let it be darkness, Let not God require it from above, Nor let light shine upon it. |
| 3:5 | Let darkness and the shadow of death |
Let darkness and death-shade redeem it, Let a cloud tabernacle upon it, Let them terrify it as the most bitter of days. |
| 3:6 | As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; |
That night -- let thick darkness take it, Let it not be united to days of the year, Into the number of months let it not come. |
| 3:7 | Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein. | Lo! that night -- let it be gloomy, Let no singing come into it. |
| 3:8 | Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up |
Let the cursers of day mark it, Who are ready to wake up Leviathan. |
| 3:9 | Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see |
Let the stars of its twilight be dark, Let it wait for light, and there is none, And let it not look on the eyelids of the dawn. |
| 3:10 | Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes. | Because it hath not shut the doors Of the womb that was mine! And hide misery from mine eyes. |
| 3:11 | Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly? | Why from the womb do I not die? From the belly I have come forth and gasp! |
| 3:12 | Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck? | Wherefore have knees been before me? And what `are' breasts, that I suck? |
| 3:13 | For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest, | For now, I have lain down, and am quiet, I have slept -- then there is rest to me, |
| 3:14 | With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves; | With kings and counsellors of earth, These building wastes for themselves. |
| 3:15 | Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver: | Or with princes -- they have gold, They are filling their houses `with' silver. |
| 3:16 | Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light. | (Or as a hidden abortion I am not, As infants -- they have not seen light.) |
| 3:17 | There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the |
There the wicked have ceased troubling, And there rest do the wearied in power. |
| 3:18 | There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor. | Together prisoners have been at ease, They have not heard the voice of an exactor, |
| 3:19 | The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master. | Small and great `are' there the same. And a servant `is' free from his lord. |
| 3:20 | Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul; | Why giveth He to the miserable light, and life to the bitter soul? |
| 3:21 | Which |
Who are waiting for death, and it is not, And they seek it above hid treasures. |
| 3:22 | Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave? | Who are glad -- unto joy, They rejoice when they find a grave. |
| 3:23 | Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in? | To a man whose way hath been hidden, And whom God doth shut up? |
| 3:24 | For my sighing cometh |
For before my food, my sighing cometh, And poured out as waters `are' my roarings. |
| 3:25 | For |
For a fear I feared and it meeteth me, And what I was afraid of doth come to me. |
| 3:26 | I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came. | I was not safe -- nor was I quiet -- Nor was I at rest -- and trouble cometh! |
