Iob 3
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
3 Post haec aperuit Job os suum, et maledixit diei suo,
2 et locutus est:
3 Pereat dies in qua natus sum, et nox in qua dictum est: Conceptus est homo.
4 Dies ille vertatur in tenebras: non requirat eum Deus desuper, et non illustretur lumine.
5 Obscurent eum tenebrae et umbra mortis; occupet eum caligo, et involvatur amaritudine.
6 Noctem illam tenebrosus turbo possideat; non computetur in diebus anni, nec numeretur in mensibus.
7 Sit nox illa solitaria, nec laude digna.
8 Maledicant ei qui maledicunt diei, qui parati sunt suscitare Leviathan.
9 Obtenebrentur stellae caligine ejus; expectet lucem, et non videat, nec ortum surgentis aurorae.
10 Quia non conclusit ostia ventris qui portavit me, nec abstulit mala ab oculis meis.
11 Quare non in vulva mortuus sum? egressus ex utero non statim perii?
12 Quare exceptus genibus? cur lactatus uberibus?
13 Nunc enim dormiens silerem, et somno meo requiescerem
14 cum regibus et consulibus terrae, qui aedificant sibi solitudines;
15 aut cum principibus qui possident aurum, et replent domos suas argento;
16 aut sicut abortivum absconditum non subsisterem, vel qui concepti non viderunt lucem.
17 Ibi impii cessaverunt a tumultu, et ibi requieverunt fessi robore.
18 Et quondam vincti pariter sine molestia, non audierunt vocem exactoris.
19 Parvus et magnus ibi sunt, et servus liber a domino suo.
20 Quare misero data est lux, et vita his qui in amaritudine animae sunt:
21 qui expectant mortem, et non venit, quasi effodientes thesaurum;
22 gaudentque vehementer cum invenerint sepulchrum?
23 viro cujus abscondita est via et circumdedit eum Deus tenebris?
24 Antequam comedam, suspiro; et tamquam inundantes aquae, sic rugitus meus:
25 quia timor quem timebam evenit mihi, et quod verebar accidit.
26 Nonne dissimulavi? nonne silui? nonne quievi? et venit super me indignatio.

Job Speaks
3 After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth.(A) 2 He said:
3 “May the day of my birth perish,
and the night that said, ‘A boy is conceived!’(B)
4 That day—may it turn to darkness;
may God above not care about it;
may no light shine on it.
5 May gloom and utter darkness(C) claim it once more;
may a cloud settle over it;
may blackness overwhelm it.
6 That night—may thick darkness(D) seize it;
may it not be included among the days of the year
nor be entered in any of the months.
7 May that night be barren;
may no shout of joy(E) be heard in it.
8 May those who curse days[a] curse that day,(F)
those who are ready to rouse Leviathan.(G)
9 May its morning stars become dark;
may it wait for daylight in vain
and not see the first rays of dawn,(H)
10 for it did not shut the doors of the womb on me
to hide trouble from my eyes.
11 “Why did I not perish at birth,
and die as I came from the womb?(I)
12 Why were there knees to receive me(J)
and breasts that I might be nursed?
13 For now I would be lying down(K) in peace;
I would be asleep and at rest(L)
14 with kings and rulers of the earth,(M)
who built for themselves places now lying in ruins,(N)
15 with princes(O) who had gold,
who filled their houses with silver.(P)
16 Or why was I not hidden away in the ground like a stillborn child,(Q)
like an infant who never saw the light of day?(R)
17 There the wicked cease from turmoil,(S)
and there the weary are at rest.(T)
18 Captives(U) also enjoy their ease;
they no longer hear the slave driver’s(V) shout.(W)
19 The small and the great are there,(X)
and the slaves are freed from their owners.
20 “Why is light given to those in misery,
and life to the bitter of soul,(Y)
21 to those who long for death that does not come,(Z)
who search for it more than for hidden treasure,(AA)
22 who are filled with gladness
and rejoice when they reach the grave?(AB)
23 Why is life given to a man
whose way is hidden,(AC)
whom God has hedged in?(AD)
24 For sighing(AE) has become my daily food;(AF)
my groans(AG) pour out like water.(AH)
25 What I feared has come upon me;
what I dreaded(AI) has happened to me.(AJ)
26 I have no peace,(AK) no quietness;
I have no rest,(AL) but only turmoil.”(AM)
