| 1 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day. | 1 μετα τουτο ηνοιξεν ιωβ το στομα αυτου |
| 2 And Job spake, and said, | 2 και κατηρασατο την ημεραν αυτου λεγων |
| 3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived. | 3 απολοιτο η ημερα εν η εγεννηθην και η νυξ εν η ειπαν ιδου αρσεν |
| 4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. | 4 η ημερα εκεινη ειη σκοτος και μη αναζητησαι αυτην ο κυριος ανωθεν μηδε ελθοι εις αυτην φεγγος |
| 5 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it. | 5 εκλαβοι δε αυτην σκοτος και σκια θανατου επελθοι επ' αυτην γνοφος |
| 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. | 6 καταραθειη η ημερα και η νυξ εκεινη απενεγκαιτο αυτην σκοτος μη ειη εις ημερας ενιαυτου μηδε αριθμηθειη εις ημερας μηνων |
| 7 Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein. | 7 αλλα η νυξ εκεινη ειη οδυνη και μη ελθοι επ' αυτην ευφροσυνη μηδε χαρμονη |
| 8 Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning. | 8 αλλα καταρασαιτο αυτην ο καταρωμενος την ημεραν εκεινην ο μελλων το μεγα κητος χειρωσασθαι |
| 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: | 9 σκοτωθειη τα αστρα της νυκτος εκεινης υπομειναι και εις φωτισμον μη ελθοι και μη ιδοι εωσφορον ανατελλοντα |
| 10 Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes. | 10 οτι ου συνεκλεισεν πυλας γαστρος μητρος μου απηλλαξεν γαρ αν πονον απο οφθαλμων μου |
| 11 Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly? | 11 δια τι γαρ εν κοιλια ουκ ετελευτησα εκ γαστρος δε εξηλθον και ουκ ευθυς απωλομην |
| 12 Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck? | 12 ινα τι δε συνηντησαν μοι γονατα ινα τι δε μαστους εθηλασα |
| 13 For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest, | 13 νυν αν κοιμηθεις ησυχασα υπνωσας δε ανεπαυσαμην |
| 14 With kings and counsellers of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves; | 14 μετα βασιλεων βουλευτων γης οι ηγαυριωντο επι ξιφεσιν |
| 15 Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver: | 15 η μετα αρχοντων ων πολυς ο χρυσος οι επλησαν τους οικους αυτων αργυριου |
| 16 Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light. | 16 η ωσπερ εκτρωμα εκπορευομενον εκ μητρας μητρος η ωσπερ νηπιοι οι ουκ ειδον φως |
| 17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest. | 17 εκει ασεβεις εξεκαυσαν θυμον οργης εκει ανεπαυσαντο κατακοποι τω σωματι |
| 18 There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor. | 18 ομοθυμαδον δε οι αιωνιοι ουκ ηκουσαν φωνην φορολογου |
| 19 The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master. | 19 μικρος και μεγας εκει εστιν και θεραπων ου δεδοικως τον κυριον αυτου |
| 20 Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul; | 20 ινα τι γαρ δεδοται τοις εν πικρια φως ζωη δε ταις εν οδυναις ψυχαις |
| 21 Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures; | 21 οι ομειρονται του θανατου και ου τυγχανουσιν ανορυσσοντες ωσπερ θησαυρους |
| 22 Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave? | 22 περιχαρεις δε εγενοντο εαν κατατυχωσιν |
| 23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in? | 23 θανατος ανδρι αναπαυμα συνεκλεισεν γαρ ο θεος κατ' αυτου |
| 24 For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters. | 24 προ γαρ των σιτων μου στεναγμος μοι ηκει δακρυω δε εγω συνεχομενος φοβω |
| 25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. | 25 φοβος γαρ ον εφροντισα ηλθεν μοι και ον εδεδοικειν συνηντησεν μοι |
| 26 I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came. | 26 ουτε ειρηνευσα ουτε ησυχασα ουτε ανεπαυσαμην ηλθεν δε μοι οργη |
