Job 3
Biblia del Jubileo
3 Después de esto abrió Job su boca, y maldijo su día.
2 Y exclamó Job, y dijo:
3 Perezca el día en que yo fui nacido, y la noche que dijo: Varón es concebido.
4 Aquel día fuera tinieblas, y Dios no curara de él desde arriba, ni claridad resplandeciera sobre él.
5 Que tinieblas y sombra de muerte sea su redentor; reposara sobre él nublado, que lo hiciera horrible como día caluroso.
6 Aquella noche ocupara oscuridad, ni fuera contada entre los días del año, ni viniera en el número de los meses.
7 ¡Oh, si fuere aquella noche solitaria, que no viniera en ella canción!
8 Maldijéranla los que maldicen al día, los que se aparejan para levantar su llanto.
9 Las estrellas de su alba fueran oscurecidas; esperaran la luz, y no viniera, ni viera 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 desde la matriz, o fui traspasado saliendo del vientre?
12 ¿Por qué me previnieron las rodillas? ¿Y para qué los senos que mamare?
13 Pues que ahora yaciera yo, y reposara; durmiera, y entonces tuviera reposo,
14 con los reyes y con los consejeros de la tierra, que edifican para sí los desiertos;
15 o con los príncipes que poseen el oro, que llenan sus casas de plata.
16 O ¿por qué no fui escondido como abortivo, como los pequeñitos que nunca vieron luz?
17 ¶ Allí los impíos dejaron de molestar, y allí descansaron los de cansadas fuerzas.
18 Allí también reposaron los cautivos; no oyeron la voz del exactor.
19 Allí está el chico y el grande; allí es el esclavo libre de su señor.
20 ¿Por qué dio luz al trabajado, y vida a los amargos de ánimo?
21 Que esperan la muerte, y no la hay; y la buscan más que tesoros.
22 Que se alegran sobremanera, y se gozan cuando hallan el sepulcro.
23 Al hombre que no sabe por donde vaya, y que Dios lo encerró.
24 Porque antes que mi pan, viene mi suspiro; y mis bramidos corren como aguas.
25 Porque el temor que me espantaba me ha venido, y me ha acontecido lo que temía.
26 Nunca tuve prosperidad, nunca me aseguré, ni nunca me reposé; y 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 3
English Standard Version
Job Laments His Birth
3 After this Job (A)opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth. 2 And Job said:
3 (B)“Let the day perish on which I was born,
and the night that said,
‘A man is conceived.’
4 Let that day be darkness!
May God above not seek it,
nor light shine upon it.
5 Let gloom and (C)deep darkness claim it.
Let clouds dwell upon it;
let the blackness of the day terrify it.
6 That night—let thick darkness seize it!
Let it not rejoice among the days of the year;
let it not come into the number of the months.
7 Behold, let that night be barren;
let no joyful cry enter it.
8 Let those curse it who curse the day,
who are ready to rouse up (D)Leviathan.
9 Let the stars of its dawn be dark;
let it hope for light, but have none,
nor see (E)the eyelids of the morning,
10 because it did not shut the doors of my mother's womb,
nor hide trouble from my eyes.
11 “Why (F)did I not die at birth,
come out from the womb and expire?
12 Why did (G)the knees receive me?
Or why the breasts, that I should nurse?
13 For then I would have lain down and been quiet;
I would have slept; then I would have been at rest,
14 with kings and counselors of the earth
who (H)rebuilt ruins for themselves,
15 or with princes who had gold,
who filled their houses with silver.
16 Or why was I not as a hidden (I)stillborn child,
as infants who never see the light?
17 There the wicked cease from troubling,
and there the weary are at (J)rest.
18 There the prisoners are at ease together;
they hear not the voice of (K)the taskmaster.
19 The small and the great are there,
and the slave is free from his master.
20 “Why is light given to him who is in misery,
and life to (L)the bitter in soul,
21 who (M)long for death, but it comes not,
and dig for it more than for (N)hidden treasures,
22 who rejoice exceedingly
and are glad when they find the grave?
23 Why is light given to a man whose (O)way is hidden,
whom God has (P)hedged in?
24 For my sighing comes (Q)instead of[a] my bread,
and my (R)groanings are poured out like water.
25 (S)For the thing that I fear comes upon me,
and what I dread befalls me.
26 I am not at ease, nor am I quiet;
I have no rest, but trouble comes.”

约伯记 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
约伯咒诅自己
3 后来，约伯开口咒诅自己的生日， 2 说：
3 “愿我出生的那日和怀我的那夜灭没。
4 愿那日一片黑暗，
被天上的上帝遗忘，
没有阳光照耀。
5 愿那日被黑暗和阴影笼罩，
被密云覆盖，
被阴暗淹没。
6 愿那夜被幽暗吞噬，
不列在年日中，
不算在岁月里。
7 愿那夜无人生育，
毫无快乐之声。
8 愿那些咒诅白日、
能惹动海怪的人，
咒诅那夜。
9 愿那夜的晨星昏暗，
等不到晨光的出现，
看不见黎明的眼帘。
10 因为那夜没有关闭我母胎的门，
以致让我看见患难。
11 “为何我不出生时就夭折，
出母胎时就断气？
12 为何要把我抱在膝上，
用乳汁哺育我？
13 不然我早已安然躺卧、长眠安息，
14 与世上的君王和谋臣作伴——他们建造的宫殿已荒废，
15 与房屋堆满金银的王侯同眠。
16 为何我没有像未见天日就流产的婴儿一样消逝？
17 那里，恶人不再搅扰，
疲惫者得到安息，
18 被囚者得到安宁，
听不见监工的斥责。
19 尊贵与卑贱的人都在那里，
奴仆不再受主人的辖制。
20 “为何赐光给受苦的人，
赐生命给心灵痛苦的人？
21 他们等候死亡却等不到，
他们求死胜于求宝藏。
22 他们归入坟墓时非常快乐，
欣喜若狂。
23 为何赐生命给前路渺茫、
被上帝围困的人？
24 我以叹息为食，
呻吟如水涌流。
25 我害怕的事发生了，
我恐惧的事来临了。
26 我不得安宁，
不得平静，
不得安息，
只有苦难。”
