Job 3

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed his day,	1 بعد هذا فتح ايوب فاه وسبّ يومه
2 and he said:	2 واخذ ايوب يتكلم فقال
3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said: A man child is conceived.	3 ليته هلك اليوم الذي ولدت فيه والليل الذي قال قد حبل برجل.
4 Let that day be turned into darkness, let not God regard it from above, and let not the light shine upon it.	4 ليكن ذلك اليوم ظلاما. لا يعتن به الله من فوق ولا يشرق عليه نهار.
5 Let darkness, and the shadow of death cover it, let a mist overspread it, and let it be wrapped up in bitterness.	5 ليملكه الظلام وظل الموت. ليحل عليه سحاب. لترعبه كاسفات النهار.
6 Let a darksome whirlwind seize upon that night, let it not be counted in the days of the year, nor numbered in the months.	6 اما ذلك الليل فليمسكه الدجى ولا يفرح بين ايام السنة ولا يدخلنّ في عدد الشهور.
7 Let that night be solitary, and not worthy of praise.	7 هوذا ذلك الليل ليكن عاقرا. لا يسمع فيه هتاف.
8 Let them curse it who curse the day. who are ready to raise up a leviathan:	8 ليلعنه لاعنو اليوم المستعدون لايقاظ التنين.
9 Let the stars be darkened with the mist thereof: let it expect light and not see it, nor the rising of the dawning of the day:	9 لتظلم نجوم عشائه. لينتظر النور ولا يكن ولا ير هدب الصبح.
10 Because it shut not up the doors of the womb that bore me, nor took away evils from my eyes.	10 لانه لم يغلق ابواب بطن امي ولم يستر الشقاوة عن عينيّ.
11 Why did I not die in the womb, why did I not perish when I came out of the belly?	11 لم لم امت من الرحم. عندما خرجت من البطن لم لم اسلم الروح.
12 Why received upon the knees? why suckled at the breasts ?	12 لماذا اعانتني الركب ولم الثدي حتى ارضع.
13 For now I should have been asleep and still, and should have rest in my sleep.	13 لاني قد كنت الآن مضطجعا ساكنا. حينئذ كنت نمت مستريحا
14 With kings and consuls of the earth, who build themselves solitudes:	14 مع ملوك ومشيري الارض الذين بنوا اهراما لانفسهم
15 Or with princes, that possess gold, and All their houses with silver:	15 او مع رؤساء لهم ذهب المالئين بيوتهم فضة
16 Or as a hidden untimely birth I should not be, or as they that being conceived have not seen the light.	16 او كسقط مطمور فلم اكن. كأجنّة لم يروا نورا.
17 There the wicked cease from tumult, and there the wearied in strength are at rest.	17 هناك يكف المنافقون عن الشغب وهناك يستريح المتعبون.
18 And they sometime bound together without disquiet, have not heard the voice of the oppressor.	18 الاسرى يطمئنون جميعا. لا يسمعون صوت المسخّر
19 The small and great are there, and the servant is free from his master.	19 الصغير كما الكبير هناك العبد حر من سيده
20 Why is light given to him that is in misery, and life to them that are in bitterness of soul?	20 لم يعطى لشقي نور وحياة لمري النفس
21 That look for death, and it cometh not, as they that dig for a treasure:	21 الذين ينتظرون الموت وليس هو ويحفرون عليه اكثر من الكنوز
22 And they rejoice exceedingly when they have found the grave.	22 المسرورين الى ان يبتهجوا الفرحين عندما يجدون قبرا.
23 To a man whose way is hidden, and God hath surrounded him with darkness?	23 لرجل قد خفي عليه طريقه وقد سيج الله حوله.
24 Before I eat I sigh: and as overflowing waters, so is my roaring:	24 لانه مثل خبزي ياتي انيني ومثل المياه تنسكب زفرتي
25 For the fear which I feared hath come upon me: and that which I was afraid of, hath befallen me.	25 لاني ارتعابا ارتعبت فأتاني والذي فزعت منه جاء عليّ.
26 Have I not dissembled ? have I not kept silence ? have I not been quiet? and indignation is come upon me.	26 لم اطمئن ولم اسكن ولم استرح وقد جاء الرجز
