Job lamenta-se
3 Passados estes dias, foi Job quem começou a falar e amaldiçoou o dia do seu nascimento. 2 Ele disse:
3 “Que desapareça o dia em que nasci,
o momento em que fui concebido!
4 Que nunca mais seja lembrado!
Que nem sequer Deus o recorde!
Que fique mergulhado nas trevas eternas!
5 Sim, a escuridão se apodere dele
e nuvens negras o envolvam!
Seja riscado do calendário!
6 Que as trevas tomem conta daquela noite
e não consiga encontrar a alegria
que habita entre os dias do ano,
e nunca mais seja contado entre os meses!
7 Seja recordada como uma noite gelada e triste
e nela não se ouçam mais manifestações de alegria!
8 Aqueles que sabem amaldiçoar os dias
e esconjuram o monstro marinho[a], a amaldiçoem!
9 As estrelas da noite desapareçam;
esperem ansiosas pela luz e nunca mais a vejam,
nunca mais vejam a luz da manhã!
10 Seja amaldiçoado por não ter fechado o seio de minha mãe,
por ter deixado que eu nascesse para toda esta aflição!
11 Porque não morri eu ao nascer?
12 Porque me deixou a parteira viver?
Porque razão me alimentaram com o leite materno?
13 Se ao menos tivesse morrido ao nascer,
estaria agora sossegado, repousaria descansado,
14 Estaria junto de governantes e chefes de estado,
que construíram para si enormes monumentos,
hoje transformados em montes de escombros;
15 Ou estaria com príncipes ricos em ouro
que encheram de prata os seus palácios.
16 Oh! Se eu tivesse sido um aborto
que não tivesse chegado a respirar nem a ver a luz!
17 É que na morte o malvado cessa de perturbar
e os que estão cansados da vida repousam.
18 Lá, até os prisioneiros estão à vontade,
sem carcereiros a vigiá-los.
19 Lá, encontra-se tanto o rico como o pobre;
o escravo está igualmente livre do seu senhor.
20 Oh! Porque é que a luz e a vida hão de ser dadas
àqueles que vivem na miséria e amargura?
21 Aos que desejam a morte sem que ela venha,
que a procuram escavando, mais do que tesouros escondidos?
22 Que alívio abençoado,
quando acabam por morrer!
23 Porque é que se deixa um homem nascer,
se Deus lhe vai dar unicamente uma vida sem esperança,
sem utilidade, cheia de frustrações?
24 Não consigo comer, porque ando a suspirar de aflição;
os meus gemidos jorram como água.
25 Aquilo que sempre receei acabou por me acontecer.
26 Não tenho paz, nem tranquilidade;
não consigo descansar, vivo em desassossego.”

Job maldice el día en que nació
3 Después de esto abrió Job su boca, y maldijo su día.(A) 2 Y exclamó Job, y dijo:
3 Perezca el día en que yo nací,
Y la noche en que se dijo: Varón es concebido.
4 Sea aquel día sombrío,
Y no cuide de él Dios desde arriba,
Ni claridad sobre él resplandezca.
5 Aféenlo tinieblas y sombra de muerte;
Repose sobre él nublado
Que lo haga horrible como día caliginoso.
6 Ocupe aquella noche la oscuridad;
No sea contada entre los días del año,
Ni venga en el número de los meses.
7 ¡Oh, que fuera aquella noche solitaria,
Que no viniera canción alguna en ella!
8 Maldíganla los que maldicen el día,
Los que se aprestan para despertar a Leviatán.
9 Oscurézcanse las estrellas de su alba;
Espere la luz, y no venga,
Ni vea los párpados de la mañana;
10 Por cuanto no cerró las puertas del vientre donde yo estaba,
Ni escondió de mis ojos la miseria.
11 ¿Por qué no morí yo en la matriz,
O expiré al salir del vientre?
12 ¿Por qué me recibieron las rodillas?
¿Y a qué los pechos para que mamase?
13 Pues ahora estaría yo muerto, y reposaría;
Dormiría, y entonces tendría descanso,
14 Con los reyes y con los consejeros de la tierra,
Que reedifican para sí ruinas;
15 O con los príncipes que poseían el oro,
Que llenaban de plata sus casas.
16 ¿Por qué no fui escondido como abortivo,
Como los pequeñitos que nunca vieron la luz?
17 Allí los impíos dejan de perturbar,
Y allí descansan los de agotadas fuerzas.
18 Allí también reposan los cautivos;
No oyen la voz del capataz.
19 Allí están el chico y el grande,
Y el siervo libre de su señor.
20 ¿Por qué se da luz al trabajado,
Y vida a los de ánimo amargado,
21 Que esperan la muerte, y ella no llega,(B)
Aunque la buscan más que tesoros;
22 Que se alegran sobremanera,
Y se gozan cuando hallan el sepulcro?
23 ¿Por qué se da vida al hombre que no sabe por dónde ha de ir,
Y a quien Dios ha encerrado?
24 Pues antes que mi pan viene mi suspiro,
Y mis gemidos corren como aguas.
25 Porque el temor que me espantaba me ha venido,
Y me ha acontecido lo que yo temía.
26 No he tenido paz, no me aseguré, ni estuve reposado;
No obstante, me vino turbación.

Job 3
King James Version
3 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
2 And Job spake, and said,
3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.
4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.
5 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
6 As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.
7 Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.
8 Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.
9 Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:
10 Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.
11 Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?
12 Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?
13 For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
14 With kings and counsellors of the earth, which build desolate places for themselves;
15 Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:
16 Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.
17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.
18 There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.
19 The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.
20 Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;
21 Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;
22 Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
24 For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.
25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
26 I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.

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)
