Job se queja de su desdicha
3 Por fin Job rompió el silencio, y maldijo el día en que había nacido.
Job
3 ¡Maldita sea la noche en que fui concebido!
¡Maldito sea el día en que nací!
4 ¡Ojalá aquel día se hubiera convertido en noche,
y Dios lo hubiera pasado por alto
y no hubiera amanecido!
5 ¡Ojalá una sombra espesa lo hubiera oscurecido,
o una nube negra lo hubiera envuelto,
o un eclipse lo hubiera llenado de terror!
6 ¡Ojalá aquella noche se hubiera perdido en las tinieblas
y aquel día no se hubiera contado
entre los días del mes y del año!
7 ¡Ojalá hubiera sido una noche estéril,
en que faltaran los gritos de alegría!
8 ¡Ojalá la hubieran maldecido los hechiceros,
que tienen poder sobre Leviatán!
9 ¡Ojalá aquella mañana no hubieran brillado los luceros,
ni hubiera llegado la luz tan esperada,
ni se hubiera visto parpadear la aurora!
10 ¡Maldita sea aquella noche, que me dejó nacer
y no me ahorró ver tanta miseria!
11 ¿Por qué no habré muerto en el vientre de mi madre,
o en el momento mismo de nacer?
12 ¿Por qué hubo rodillas que me recibieran
y pechos que me alimentaran?
13 Si yo hubiera muerto entonces,
ahora estaría durmiendo tranquilo,
descansando en paz,
14 con los reyes y ministros
que se construyen grandes pirámides,
15 o con los gobernantes
que llenan sus palacios de oro y plata.
16 ¿Por qué no me enterraron como a los abortos,
como a los niños muertos antes de nacer?
17 En la tumba tiene fin la agitación de los malvados,
y los cansados alcanzan su reposo;
18 allí encuentran paz los prisioneros,
y dejan de escuchar los gritos del capataz;
19 allí están grandes y pequeños por igual,
y el esclavo se ve libre de su amo.
20 ¿Por qué deja Dios ver la luz al que sufre?
¿Por qué le da vida al que está lleno de amargura,
21 al que espera la muerte y no le llega,
aunque la busque más que a un tesoro escondido?
22 La alegría de ese hombre llega
cuando por fin baja a la tumba.
23 Dios lo hace caminar a ciegas,
le cierra el paso por todos lados.
24 Los gemidos son mi alimento;
mi bebida, las quejas de dolor.
25 Todo lo que yo temía,
lo que más miedo me causaba,
ha caído sobre mí.
26 No tengo descanso ni sosiego;
no encuentro paz, sino inquietud.

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Nagsalita si Job
3 Kinalaunan, nagsalita si Job at isinumpa niya ang araw na isinilang siya. 2 Sinabi niya, 3 “Isinusumpa ko ang araw na akoʼy ipinanganak. 4 Naging madilim na lang sana ang araw na iyon at hindi na sinikatan ng araw. Kinalimutan na lang sana ng Dios sa langit ang araw na iyon. 5 Nanatili na lang sana itong madilim o natatakpan ng makapal na ulap, at nilukuban na lang sana ng kadiliman ang kaliwanagan. 6 Kinuha na lang sana ng kadiliman ang gabing iyon nang akoʼy isilang, at hindi na sana napabilang sa kalendaryo. 7 Hindi na nga lang sana ako ipinanganak ng gabing iyon, at wala rin sanang kasayahan noon. 8 Sumpain nawa ang gabing iyon ng mga manunumpa na alam kung paano pakilusin ang Leviatan.[a] 9 Hindi na sana sumikat ang tala sa umaga ng araw na iyon, at hindi na sana dumating ang bukang-liwayway. 10 Isinusumpa ko ang araw na iyon dahil hindi niya pinigilan ang pagsilang sa akin, nang hindi ko na sana naranasan ang ganitong paghihirap.
11 “Mabuti pang namatay na lang ako sa sinapupunan ng aking ina. 12 Bakit pa ako kinalingaʼt pinasuso ng aking ina? 13 Kung namatay na sana ako noon, tahimik na sana ako ngayong natutulog at nagpapahinga 14 kasama ng mga hari at mga pinuno ng mundo na nagtayo ng mga palasyo[b] na giba na ngayon.[c] 15 Nagpapahinga na rin sana ako kasama ng mga pinuno na ang mga tahanan ay puno ng mga gintoʼt pilak. 16 Mas mabuti pang akoʼy naging katulad ng mga batang patay na nang ipinanganak at hindi na nakakita ng liwanag. 17 Doon sa lugar ng mga patay, ang masama ay hindi na gumagawa ng kasamaan at ang mga pagod ay nagpapahinga na. 18 Doon, ang mga bihag ay nagpapahinga rin at hindi na nila naririnig ang sigaw ng taong pumipilit sa kanila na magtrabaho. 19 Naroon ang lahat ng uri ng tao, tanyag man o hindi. At ang mga alipin ay malaya na sa kanilang amo.
20 “Bakit pa pinapayagang mabuhay ang taong nagtitiis at nagdurusa? 21 Nagnanais silang mamatay pero hindi pa rin sila namamatay. Hangad nila ang kamatayan ng higit pa sa isang taong naghahanap ng nakatagong kayamanan. 22 Mas sasaya sila kapag namatay na at nailibing. 23 Bakit kaya niloob pa ng Dios na mabuhay ang tao nang hindi man lamang pinapaalam ang kanyang kahahantungan? 24 Hindi ako makakain dahil sa labis na pagdaramdam at walang tigil ang aking pagdaing. 25 Ang kinatatakutan koʼy nangyari sa akin. 26 Wala akong kapayapaan at katahimikan. Wala akong kapahingahan, pawang kabagabagan ang nararanasan ko.”

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)
