1 Посе́мъ ѿве́рзе і҆́ѡвъ ᲂу҆ста̀ своѧ̑ и҆ проклѧ̀ де́нь сво́й,
1 DESPUÉS de esto abrió Job su boca, y maldijo su día.
1 After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed the day of his birth.
2 глаго́лѧ:
2 Y exclamó Job, y dijo:
2 Job answered:
3 да поги́бнетъ де́нь, во́ньже роди́хсѧ, и҆ но́щь ѻ҆́наѧ, въ ню́же рѣ́ша: сѐ, мꙋ́жескъ по́лъ:
3 Perezca el día en que yo nací, y la noche que se dijo: Varón es concebido.
3 “Let the day perish in which I was born, the night which said, ‘There is a boy conceived.’
4 та̀ но́щь бꙋ́ди тьма̀, и҆ да не взы́щетъ є҆ѧ̀ гдⷭ҇ь свы́ше, нижѐ да прїи́детъ на ню̀ свѣ́тъ,
4 Sea aquel día sombrío, y Dios no cuide de él desde arriba, ni claridad sobre él resplandezca.
4 Let that day be darkness. Don’t let God from above seek for it, neither let the light shine on it.
5 и҆ да прїи́метъ ю҆̀ тьма̀ и҆ сѣ́нь сме́ртнаѧ, да прїи́детъ на ню̀ сꙋмра́къ: про́клѧтъ бꙋ́ди де́нь то́й
5 Aféenlo tinieblas y sombra de muerte; repose sobre él nublado, que lo haga horrible como caliginoso día.
5 Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own. Let a cloud dwell on it. Let all that makes the day black terrify it.
6 и҆ но́щь ѻ҆́наѧ: да пости́гнетъ ю҆̀ тьма̀, да не бꙋ́детъ во дне́хъ лѣ́та, нижѐ да вчи́слитсѧ во дне́хъ мцⷭ҇ей:
6 Ocupe la oscuridad aquella noche; no sea contada entre los días del año, ni venga en el número de los meses.
6 As for that night, let thick darkness seize on it. Let it not rejoice among the days of the year. Let it not come into the number of the months.
7 но но́щь ѻ҆́наѧ да бꙋ́детъ болѣ́знь, и҆ да не прїи́детъ на ню̀ весе́лїе и҆ ра́дость,
7 ¡Oh si fuere aquella noche solitaria, que no viniera canción alguna en ella!
7 Behold, let that night be barren. Let no joyful voice come therein.
8 но да проклене́тъ ю҆̀ проклина́ѧй то́й де́нь, и҆́же и҆́мать ѡ҆долѣ́ти вели́каго ки́та:
8 Maldíganla los que maldicen al día, los que se aprestan para levantar su llanto.
8 Let them curse it who curse the day, who are ready to rouse up leviathan.
9 да поме́ркнꙋтъ ѕвѣ́зды тоѧ̀ но́щи, да ѡ҆жида́етъ и҆ на свѣ́тъ да не прїи́детъ, и҆ да не ви́дитъ денни́цы возсїѧва́ющїѧ,
9 Oscurézcanse las estrellas de su alba; espere la luz, y no venga, ni vea los párpados de la mañana:
9 Let the stars of its twilight be dark. Let it look for light, but have none, neither let it see the eyelids of the morning,
10 ꙗ҆́кѡ не затворѝ вра́тъ чре́ва ма́тере моеѧ̀: ѿѧ́ла бо бы̀ болѣ́знь ѿ ѻ҆́чїю моє́ю:
10 Por cuanto no cerró las puertas del vientre donde yo estaba, ni escondió de mis ojos la miseria.
10 because it didn’t shut up the doors of my mother’s womb, nor did it hide trouble from my eyes.
11 почто́ бо во ᲂу҆тро́бѣ не ᲂу҆мро́хъ; и҆з̾ чре́ва же и҆зше́дъ, и҆ а҆́бїе не погибо́хъ;
11 ¿Por qué no morí yo desde la matriz, o fuí traspasado en saliendo del vientre?
11 “Why didn’t I die from the womb? Why didn’t I give up the spirit when my mother bore me?
12 почто́ же мѧ̀ прїѧ́ша на кѡлѣ́на; почто́ же сса́хъ сосца̑;
12 ¿Por qué me previnieron las rodillas? ¿y para qué las tetas que mamase?
12 Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should nurse?
13 нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆́бѡ ᲂу҆снꙋ́въ ᲂу҆молча́лъ бы́хъ, ᲂу҆снꙋ́въ же почи́лъ бы́хъ
13 Pues que ahora yaciera yo, y reposara; durmiera, y entonces tuviera reposo,
13 For now I should have lain down and been quiet. I should have slept, then I would have been at rest,
14 со царьмѝ и҆ совѣ̑тники землѝ, и҆̀же хвалѧ́хꙋсѧ ѻ҆рꙋ̑жїи,
14 Con los reyes y con los consejeros de la tierra, que edifican para sí los desiertos;
14 with kings and counselors of the earth, who built up waste places for themselves;
15 и҆лѝ со кнѧ̑зи, и҆̀мже мно́гѡ зла́та, и҆̀же напо́лниша до́мы своѧ̑ сребра̀,
15 O con los príncipes que poseían el oro, que henchían sus casas de plata.
15 or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver;
16 и҆лѝ ꙗ҆́коже и҆́звергъ и҆зла́зѧй и҆з̾ ложе́снъ ма́тернихъ, и҆лѝ ꙗ҆́коже младе́нцы, и҆̀же не ви́дѣша свѣ́та:
16 O ¿por qué no fuí escondido como aborto, como los pequeñitos que nunca vieron luz?
16 or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, as infants who never saw light.
17 та́мѡ нечести́вїи ᲂу҆толи́ша ꙗ҆́рость гнѣ́ва, та́мѡ почи́ша претрꙋжде́ннїи тѣ́ломъ,
17 Allí los impíos dejan el perturbar, y allí descansan los de cansadas fuerzas.
17 There the wicked cease from troubling. There the weary are at rest.
18 вкꙋ́пѣ же въ вѣ́цѣ се́мъ бы́вшїи не слы́шатъ гла́са собира́ющагѡ да́нь:
18 Allí asimismo reposan los cautivos; no oyen la voz del exactor.
18 There the prisoners are at ease together. They don’t hear the voice of the taskmaster.
19 ма́лъ и҆ вели́къ та́мѡ є҆́сть, и҆ ра́бъ не боѧ́йсѧ господи́на своегѡ̀:
19 Allí están el chico y el grande; y el siervo libre de su señor.
19 The small and the great are there. The servant is free from his master.
20 почто́ бо да́нъ є҆́сть сꙋ́щымъ въ го́рести свѣ́тъ и҆ сꙋ́щымъ въ болѣ́знехъ дꙋша́мъ живо́тъ,
20 ¿Por qué se da luz al trabajado, y vida á los de ánimo en amargura,
20 “Why is light given to him who is in misery, life to the bitter in soul,
21 и҆̀же жела́ютъ сме́рти и҆ не полꙋча́ютъ, и҆́щꙋще ꙗ҆́коже сокро́вища,
21 Que esperan la muerte, y ella no llega, aunque la buscan más que tesoros;
21 who long for death, but it doesn’t come; and dig for it more than for hidden treasures,
22 ѡ҆бра́довани же быва́ютъ, а҆́ще ᲂу҆лꙋча́тъ (꙳сме́рть);
22 Que se alegran sobremanera, y se gozan, cuando hallan el sepulcro?
22 who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
23 сме́рть бо мꙋ́жꙋ поко́й, є҆гѡ́же пꙋ́ть сокрове́нъ є҆́сть, затвори́ бо бг҃ъ ѡ҆́крестъ є҆гѡ̀:
23 ¿[Por qué] al hombre que no sabe por donde vaya, y al cual Dios ha encerrado?
23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?
24 пре́жде бо бра́шенъ мои́хъ воздыха́нїе мѝ прихо́дитъ, слезю́ же а҆́зъ ѡ҆держи́мь стра́хомъ,
24 Pues antes que mi pan viene mi suspiro; y mis gemidos corren como aguas.
24 For my sighing comes before I eat. My groanings are poured out like water.
25 стра́хъ бо, є҆гѡ́же ᲂу҆жаса́хсѧ, прїи́де мѝ, и҆ є҆гѡ́же боѧ́хсѧ, срѣ́те мѧ̀:
25 Porque el temor que me espantaba me ha venido, y hame acontecido lo que temía.
25 For the thing which I fear comes on me, that which I am afraid of comes to me.
26 ни ᲂу҆мири́хсѧ, нижѐ ᲂу҆молча́хъ, нижѐ почи́хъ, и҆ на́йде мѝ гнѣ́въ.
26 No he tenido paz, no me aseguré, ni me estuve reposado; vínome no obstante turbación.
26 I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither do I have rest; but trouble comes.”

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 3:25 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXXIII)

    And this he declared, when he said, "For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me; and that which I was afraid of is come unto me." And again, "But I wept for every helpless man, and groaned when I saw a man in distress." So because of this, nothing of what happened confounded him, none of those …
