As for that night, may darkness seize it;
May it not rejoice among the days of the year;
May it not come into the number of the months.
Behold, may that night be barren;
May no joyful shout enter it.
May those curse it who curse the day,
Who are [a]prepared to (A)disturb Leviathan.

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.
