Job - Chapter: 3


3:1	After this opened iob his mouth and cursed hys daye.
3:2	And Iob answered, and sayde:
3:3	lost be that daye, wherin I was borne, and the nyght, in the which it was sayde: there is a man chylde conceaued.
3:4	The same daye be turned to darckenes, and not regarded of God from aboue, nether lett hym shyne vpon it with lyght,
3:5	but let it be stayned with darcknesse, and the shadowe of death. Let the dymme cloude fall vpon it, and lett it be lapped in with sorowe on the daye tyme.
3:6	Let the darcke storme ouercome that nyght, and lett it not be ioyned vnto the dayes of the yeare, ner counted in the monethes.
3:7	Desolate be that night, and without gladnesse, lett them that curse the daye,
3:8	and that be ready to rayse vp mournyng, geue it also their curse.
3:9	Let the starres of that night be dymme thorow darcknesse of it. Let it loke for lyght, but lett it se none, nether the rysynge vp of the fayre mornynge:
3:10	because it shut not vp the wombe that bare me. For then shulde these sorowes haue bene hyd from myne eyes.
3:11	Alas, why dyed I not in the byrth? Why dyd not I perysh, as sone as I came oute of my mothers wombe?
3:12	Why set they me vpon their knees? Why gaue they me suck with theyr brestes?
3:13	Then shulde I now haue lyen styll, I shulde haue slepte, and bene at reste,
3:14	lyke as the kynges and lordes of the earthe, which haue buylded them selues special places.
3:15	Or as the prynces that haue had greate substaunce of golde, and theyr houses full of syluer.
3:16	Or why was I not hyd, as a thynge borne out of tyme, ether as yonge chyldren, which neuer sawe the light?
3:17	There must the wycked ceasse from theyr tyrannye, and ther soch as are ouerlaboured be at rest:
3:18	ther are those lett out fre, which haue bene in preson, so that they heare nomore the voyce of the oppressoure.
3:19	There are small & great, and the seruaunt is fre from hys master.
3:20	Wherfore is the lyght geuen to hym that is in mysery? and lyfe vnto them, that haue heuy hertes?
3:21	Whych longe for death (and though it come not) wolde dygg it oute of hyd places
3:22	which also wolde be excedyng glad and reioyce, yf they coulde fynde theyr graue any where.
3:23	That shuld be ioye to that man whose waye is hyd, and God kepeth it backe from him.
3:24	For my syghes come before I eate, and my roaringes fall out like the water.
3:25	For the thynge that I feared, is come vpon me: and the thynge that I was afrayed of, is happened vnto me.
3:26	Was I not happy? Had I not quyetnesse? Was I not in rest? And now commeth soch mysery vpon me


3:1	Aftir these thingis Joob openyde his mouth,
3:2	and curside his dai, and seide, Perische the dai in which Y was borun,
3:3	and the nyyt in which it was seid, The man is conceyued.
3:4	Thilke dai be turnede in to derknessis; God seke not it aboue, and be it not in mynde, nethir be it liytned with liyt.
3:5	Derknessis make it derk, and the schadewe of deeth and myist occupie it; and be it wlappid with bittirnesse.
3:6	Derk whirlwynde holde that niyt; be it not rikynyd among the daies of the yeer, nethir be it noumbrid among the monethes.
3:7	Thilke nyyt be soleyn, and not worthi of preisyng.
3:8	Curse thei it, that cursen the dai, that ben redi to reise Leuyathan.
3:9	Sterris be maad derk with the derknesse therof; abide it liyt, and se it not, nethir the bigynnyng of the morwetid risyng vp.
3:10	For it closide not the doris of the wombe, that bar me, nethir took awei yuels fro min iyen.
3:11	Whi was not Y deed in the wombe? whi yede Y out of the wombe, and perischide not anoon?
3:12	Whi was Y takun on knees? whi was Y suclid with teetis?
3:13	For now Y slepynge schulde be stille, and schulde reste in my sleep,
3:14	with kyngis, and consuls of erthe, that bilden to hem soleyn places;
3:15	ethir with prynces that han gold in possessioun, and fillen her housis with siluer;
3:16	ethir as a `thing hid not borun Y schulde not stonde, ethir whiche conseyued sien not liyt.
3:17	There wickid men ceessiden of noise, and there men maad wery of strengthe restiden.
3:18	And sum tyme boundun togidere with out disese thei herden not the voys of the wrongful axere.
3:19	A litil man and greet man be there, and a seruaunt free fro his lord.
3:20	Whi is liyt youun to the wretche, and lijf to hem that ben in bitternesse of soule?
3:21	Whiche abiden deeth, and it cometh not;
3:22	as men diggynge out tresour and ioien greetly, whanne thei han founde a sepulcre?
3:23	Whi is liyt youun to a man, whos weie is hid, and God hath cumpassid hym with derknessis?
3:24	Bifore that Y ete, Y siyhe; and as of watir flowynge, so is my roryng.
3:25	For the drede, which Y dredde, cam to me; and that, that Y schamede, bifelde.
3:26	Whether Y dissymilide not? whether Y was not stille? whether Y restide not? and indignacioun cometh on me.


3:1	After this opened Iob his mouth, and cursed his daye,
3:2	and sayde:
3:3	lost be that daye, wherin I was borne: and the night, in the which it was sayde: there is a manchilde conceaued.
3:4	The same daye be turned to darcknesse, and not regarded of God from aboue, nether be shyned vpo wt light:
3:5	but be couered with darcknesse, and the shadowe of death. Let the dymme cloude fall vpon it, and let it be lapped in with sorowe.
3:6	Let the darckstorme ouercome ye night, let it not be reckened amonge the dayes off the yeare, ner counted in the monethes.
3:7	Despysed be that night, and discommended: let them that curse the daye,
3:8	geue it their curse also, euen those that be ready to rayse vp Leuiathan.
3:9	Let the starres be dymme thorow darcknesse of it. Let it loke for light, but let it se none, nether the rysynge vp of the fayre mornynge:
3:10	because it shut not vp the wombe that bare me, ner hyd these sorowes fro myne eyes.
3:11	Alas, why dyed I not in ye byrth? Why dyd not I perysh, as soone as I came out of my mothers wobe?
3:12	Why set they me vpo yeir knees? Why gaue they me suck with their brestes?
3:13	Then shulde I now haue lyen still, I shulde haue slepte, and bene at rest:
3:14	like as the kynges ad lordes of ye earth, which buylde them selues speciall places:
3:15	As the prynces that haue greate substaunce of golde, & their houses full of syluer.
3:16	O that I vtterly had no beynge, or were as a thige borne out of tyme (that is put asyde) ether as yonge children, which neuer sawe the light.
3:17	There must the wicked ceasse from their tyranny, there soch as are ouerlaboured, be at rest:
3:18	there are those letten out fre, which haue bene in preson, so that they heare nomore the voyce of the oppressoure:
3:19	There are small and greate: the bonde man, and he that is fre fro his master.
3:20	Wherfore is the light geuen, to him that is in mysery? and life vnto them, that haue heuy hertes?
3:21	(Which longe for death, and it commeth not: for yf they might fynde their graue,
3:22	they wolde be maruelous glad, as those that dygge vp treasure)
3:23	To the man whose waye is hyd, which God kepeth backe from him.
3:24	This is the cause, that I syghe before I eate, and my roaringes fall out like a water floude.
3:25	For the thynge that I feared, is come vpon me: and the thynge that I was afrayed of, is happened vnto me.
3:26	Was I not happy? Had I not quyetnesse? Was I not in rest? And now commeth soch mysery vpon me.
