Dumaing si Job sa Diyos
3 Pagkaraan(A) ng matagal na pananahimik, nagsalita si Job at isinumpa ang araw nang siya'y isilang.
2 Ito ang kanyang sinabi:
3 “Hindi(B) na sana ako ipinanganak pa
at hindi na rin sana ako ipinaglihi.
4 Nabalot na sana ng dilim
at huwag mo na sanang maalala pa ang araw na iyon, O Diyos.
Huwag mo na sanang pasikatan pa ito ng liwanag.
5 Nanatili na lamang sana ito sa takip ng kadiliman,
at nabalot ng ulap, upang huwag nang sikatan ng araw.
6 Nalagas sana ito sa tangkay ng panahon,
at hindi na napabilang sa aklat ng kasaysayan.
7 Ang gabing iyon sana'y malumbay; wala na sanang sigaw ng kagalakan,
8 at sumpain ng mga salamangkerong
nagpapaamo ng dambuhalang Leviatan.[a]
9 Huwag na sanang sumikat ang bituin sa umaga,
at huwag na sanang sundan ng umaga ang gabi.
10 Sumpain ang gabi ng aking pagsilang
na nagdulot sa akin ng ganitong kahirapan.
11 “Bakit hindi pa ako namatay sa tiyan ng aking ina,
o kaya'y noong ako'y isilang niya?
12 Bakit kaya ako ay idinuyan pa, kinalong, inalagaan,
at binigyan ng gatas sa dibdib niya?
13 Kung namatay ako noon, ako sana'y tahimik na, mahimbing na natutulog at nagpapahinga.
14 Katulad ng mga hari at pinunong yumao,
na noong panahon nila'y nagtayo ng mga palasyo.
15 Tahimik na sana ako tulad ng mga pinunong nakapag-imbak
sa kanilang bahay ng mga ginto at pilak,
16 o tulad ng mga sanggol na patay nang ipanganak at hindi na nakakita pa ng liwanag.
17 Sa libinga'y hindi na makakapanggulo ang mga masasama,
at doon ang mga napapagod ay makakapagpahinga.
18 Doon, pati mga bihag ay wala nang ligalig,
wala nang mga sigaw at utos na mabagsik.
19 Ang mga abâ at mga dakila ay sama-sama roon,
ang mga alipin ay malaya na sa kanilang panginoon.
20 “Bakit pa isinilang kung magdurusa rin lamang?
At bakit pa binuhay kung daranas din lang ng kahirapan?
21 Kamataya'y(C) hinahanap ngunit hindi matagpuan,
hinuhukay at ninanais higit pa sa kayamanan.
22 Sa kanila'y ubod-tamis nitong kamatayan.
23 Ano kaya ang dahilan at ang tao'y isinilang,
kung inilihim naman ng Diyos ang kanyang patutunguhan?
24 Karaingan ang aking pagkain,
pagtitiis ang aking inumin.
25 Ang kinatatakutan ko ang siyang nangyari sa akin, at ang pinakaaayawan ko ang dumating sa akin.
26 Hindi ako mapalagay, wala akong kapayapaan,
kaguluhan sa buhay ko ay walang katapusan.”

3 At last Job spoke and cursed the day of his birth.
2-3 “Let the day of my birth be cursed,” he said, “and the night when I was conceived. 4 Let that day be forever forgotten.[a] Let it be lost even to God, shrouded in eternal darkness. 5 Yes, let the darkness claim it for its own, and may a black cloud overshadow it. 6 May it be blotted off the calendar, never again to be counted among the days of the month of that year. 7 Let that night be bleak and joyless. 8 Let those who are experts at cursing curse it.[b] 9 Let the stars of the night disappear. Let it long for light but never see it, never see the morning light. 10 Curse it for its failure to shut my mother’s womb, for letting me be born to come to all this trouble.
11 “Why didn’t I die at birth? 12 Why did the midwife let me live? Why did she nurse me at her breasts? 13 For if only I had died at birth, then I would be quiet now, asleep and at rest, 14-15 along with prime ministers and kings with all their pomp, and wealthy princes whose castles are full of rich treasures. 16 Oh, to have been stillborn!—to have never breathed or seen the light. 17 For there in death the wicked cease from troubling, and there the weary are at rest. 18 There even prisoners are at ease, with no brutal jailer to curse them. 19 Both rich and poor alike are there, and the slave is free at last from his master.
20-21 “Oh, why should light and life be given to those in misery and bitterness, who long for death, and it won’t come; who search for death as others search for food or money? 22 What blessed relief when at last they die! 23 Why is a man allowed to be born if God is only going to give him a hopeless life of uselessness and frustration? 24 I cannot eat for sighing; my groans pour out like water. 25 What I always feared has happened to me. 26 I was not fat and lazy, yet trouble struck me down.”

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)
