Job 3
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
3 Pagkatapos nito'y ibinuka ni Job ang kaniyang bibig at sinumpa ang kaniyang kaarawan.
2 At si Job ay sumagot, at nagsabi,
3 Maparam nawa ang kaarawan ng kapanganakan sa akin, at ang gabi na nagsabi, may lalaking ipinaglihi.
4 Magdilim nawa ang kaarawang yaon; huwag nawang pansinin ng Dios mula sa itaas, ni silangan man ng liwanag.
5 Ang dilim at ang salimuot na kadiliman ang siyang mangagari niyaon; pag-ulapan nawa yaon; Pangilabutin nawa yaon ng lahat na nagpapadilim sa araw.
6 Suma gabing yaon nawa ang pagsasalimuot ng kadiliman: huwag nawang kagalakan sa mga araw ng sangtaon; huwag nawang mapasok sa bilang ng mga buwan.
7 Narito, mapagisa ang gabing yaon; huwag nawang datnan yaon ng masayang tinig.
8 Sumpain nawa yaong nanganunumpa sa araw, ng nangamimihasang gumalaw sa buwaya.
9 Mangagdilim nawa ang mga bituin ng pagtatakip-silim niyaon: maghintay nawa ng liwanag, nguni't huwag magkaroon: ni huwag mamalas ang mga bukang liwayway ng umaga:
10 Sapagka't hindi tinakpan ang mga pinto ng bahay-bata ng aking ina, o ikinubli man ang kabagabagan sa aking mga mata.
11 Bakit hindi pa ako namatay mula sa bahay-bata? Bakit di pa napatid ang aking hininga nang ipanganak ako ng aking ina?
12 Bakit tinanggap ako ng mga tuhod? O bakit ng mga suso, na aking sususuhin?
13 Sapagka't ngayon ay nahihiga sana ako at natatahimik; ako sana'y nakakatulog; na napapahinga ako:
14 Na kasama ng mga hari at ng mga kasangguni sa lupa, na nagsisigawa ng mga dakong ilang sa ganang kanila;
15 O ng mga pangulo na nangagkaroon ng ginto, na pumuno sa kanilang bahay ng pilak:
16 O gaya sana ng nalagas na nakatago, na hindi nabuhay; gaya sana ng sanggol na kailan man ay hindi nakakita ng liwanag.
17 Doo'y naglilikat ang masama sa pagbagabag; at doo'y nagpapahinga ang pagod.
18 Doo'y ang mga bihag ay nangagpapahingang magkakasama; hindi nila naririnig ang tinig ng nagpapaatag.
19 Ang mababa at ang mataas ay nangaroon; at ang alipin ay laya sa kaniyang panginoon.
20 Bakit binibigyan ng liwanag ang nasa karalitaan, at ng buhay ang kaluluwang nasa kahirapan;
21 Na naghihintay ng kamatayan, nguni't hindi dumarating; at hinahangad ng higit kaysa mga kayamanang nakatago;
22 Na nagagalak ng di kawasa, at nangasasayahan, pagka nasumpungan ang libingan?
23 Bakit binibigyan ng liwanag ang tao na kinalilingiran ng lakad, at ang kinulong ng Dios?
24 Sapagka't nagbubuntong hininga ako bago ako kumain, at ang aking mga angal ay bumubugsong parang tubig.
25 Sapagka't ang bagay na aking kinatatakutan ay dumarating sa akin, at ang aking pinangingilabutan ay dumarating sa akin.
26 Hindi ako tiwasay, ni ako man ay tahimik, ni ako man ay napapahinga; kundi kabagabagan ang dumarating.

Job Laments His Birth
3 After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed the day of his birth. 2 Job said:
3 “Let the day perish in which I was born
and the night in which it was said, ‘A male child is conceived.’
4 As for that day, let it be darkness;
let God above not regard it;
and let not light shine upon it.
5 Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it;
let a cloud settle on it;
let the blackness of the day terrify it.
6 As for that night, let darkness capture it;
let it not rejoice among the days of the year;
let it not come into the number of the months.
7 Yes, as for that night, let it be barren!
Let no joyful cry come into it!
8 Let them curse it who curse any day,
those who are prepared to rouse Leviathan.
9 Let its morning stars be dark;
let it look for light, but have none;
let it not see the rays of dawn,
10 because it did not shut the doors of my mother’s womb,
nor hide trouble from my eyes.
11 “Why did I not die at birth?
Why did I not expire when I came out of the womb?
12 Why did her knees receive me?
And why her breasts that I should nurse?
13 For now I would be lying down and would be at peace;
I would have slept; then there would be rest for me,
14 with kings and counselors of the earth,
who built ruins for themselves,
15 or with princes who had gold,
who filled their houses with silver.
16 Or why was I not hidden like a stillborn child,
like infants who never saw light?
17 There the wicked will have stopped causing trouble,
and there the exhausted will rest.
18 Captives will relax together;
they do not hear the voice of the oppressor.
19 The small and great, they are there,
and the servant is free from his master.
20 “Why is light given to the miserable,
and life unto the bitter in soul,
21 who look for death, but it is not there;
and they search for it more than for hidden treasures;
22 who rejoice exceedingly,
and they are glad when they find the grave?
23 And why is light given to a man
whose way is hidden,
whom God has hedged in?
24 For my sighing comes before I eat,
and my groaning pours forth like the waters.
25 For the thing which I greatly feared has happened to me,
and that which I dreaded has come to me.
26 I am not at peace; I have no quiet,
I cannot rest, and turmoil has come.”

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)

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.
